SUPERlN EVIDENT I OF LAUNDRY CO.,.
 TRIES SUICIDE
Business and Marital Trou- bles Cause Fred Macy To
 Attempt Death By Gas.

Abandoned by his wife three years ago, with four children to care for, deserted on Monday by his mother, who returned to her home in Barre. vt.s weighed down by recent business troubles Fred Macy. superintendent of the finishing department of the Lowe Laundry Co, on FSeaView ave nue and living at. 9<I4rew Place, att tempted to end his life at 6:30 this morning by locking himself in the bath room at his home and turning on the gas jet. The emergency hos pftal corps saved his life. After res toratives had been given Macy he was removed to the Bridgeport hospital, where it was reported at a late hour this afternoon that he was on the road to recovery.
 Martial troubles caused the separ- ation between Macy and his wife about three years ago. The couple had four children the youngest ssix years of age and the oldest 9 boy of I years.
 Macy came to this city from Barre. about six years ago and procured a position at the Lowe laundry. After diligently working for three years he was appointed to the position of SUI perintendent of the finishing, depart ment and at present is foreman over 3 5 helpers. He was popular among the employees and with the directors of the laundry establishment and his attempt at suicide this morning was the cause of much concern on the part of his helpers.
 When Macy's wife deserted him three years ago he brought his mother here from Vermont to care for the children. She had been lonesome for her native state during the last few weeks and on Monday decided to re- q by his mother. and left alone with four children, Macy became despond- ert.
 He entered the bath room at his home this morning, spread the chi1- sdren's clothes on the floor, turned on him large bread knife with which it is believed he planned to cut a Jugular vein.
 The oldest child, a boy, saw his fa- ther enter the bath room and after his absence of more than Is minutes, be- came alarmed. He tried vain1y to en- tertthe bath room. The fumes of the gas permeated the household and the child ran down stairs and informed the family of Joseph Stein of the sit nation The Steins were unable to gain entrance to the bath room and call was sent for the emergency ann bulance.
 On the arrival of the ambulance corps pr. E. B. Weldon broke in the door of the bath room and discovered Macy in comatose condition After restoratiyes failed to bring him to con sciousness he was taken to the Bridge port hospital, where shortly after he showed signs of recovery
 Macy admitted this afternoon that he was sorry for his action which he said was done oh the impulse of the moment He declared that he is glad that he IS still lfvi-2~ and that he will endeavor to make the best of his posi- ffrlr1.. .. .F..--

eign once in this difficult period is capable and tactful and modest in bearing. All Japanese public men are careful in epeeeh; Ishii is especial ly conservative, but he gives the i'm pression Of frankness and sincerity. !. He has worked hexd all his life. Above all things he has iabored patiently He is the most patient man in the J ap- anese diplomatic service. That was his record at Paris where for several years he has sought to understand som ething of western diplomacy so that his own country might profit with patience especially he labored to place loans for his country in the markets of Paris and London.
 Isfii graduated with honors from the law college of the Imperial Tokfo University in 1889 and the following year was ordered to France, being appointed diplomatic attache. Later h ewas sent as consul to Chemulpo. During the Boxer trouble of 1900 he was in. Peking as first secretary or the legation under Minister Nish1 and afterwards was made chief of the sec ton of telegraphs and then director or the bureau of commercial affairs Tn the foreign office.
 Tn 1908 he WAS promoted to Vlce-s minister of the department under, the late Count Hyashi, the then foreign oLl ~i-0 1'o inc late Marquis Komura and Wis count Uchida who successively be- cannez foreign ministers. As min ister he was very popular with diplo- mats and with the press.
 In August 1909, he was created Baron in recognition of meritoriouss services in connection with the an- nexation of Korea and the revision of commercial treaties with the Pow CTS In 1912 he was appointed Am bassador to Paris
 Baron Ishii was expected to leave France in the latter part of August and assume his new duties in early October.
 It is no secret that Baron Kato will continue to be consulted by the cabi- net as to the foreign policy. The i'm pression prevails at Tokio that Kato could have remained in the ministry.

Chinese Rebel Chief
 Hanged For Activity

Rszng and other prominent agitators, was executed ln Picking rece ntiy. while tnrea4 of his accomplices were Sentenced ito jEa5ris- onment for long terms
 Wang Shuns a. former financial commissioners of Kiangsi, has also been sentenced to death for having received bribes and for selling odice5. His trial was long and hard fought It was impossible at first to prove thg charges, but it happened that during the trial policemen noticed much smoke coming from the accused mans house. They rushed it and discovered the former commissioner burning of f1cial papers. Among the papers seiz- ed by the officers were documents which are said to have established his guilt,
 Death sentences are mot iafreauent in China for dishonesty and theft. Tn fact a law has been rassed ander President Yuan Sllf-kai,s direction which makes the theft of as small an object as a. rickshaw punishable by death.
 Such severe punishment is regarded as necessaray to restrain bandits and outlaws who terrorize. remote districts and to check the grating spirit among officials.

NEW MINISTER OF
 JAPAN TO FRANCE IS SELF-MADE MAN
Rises From the Ranks Knows Considerable About
 American Affairs.

Tokio, Sept 18-Baron Kikujiro Ishii, Ambassador to France, who has been named foreign minister. is self made man risen from the ranks. He knows considerable about the United States and what are known as the American probIems.'' In 1907 he was despatched to San Francisco and also to Vancouver to study the anti Japanese movements.
 The coming of Baron Isl1ii does not mean the effacement of Baron Kato, his predecessor, from power and in- huence. Baron Ishii is the close friend of Baron Kato and was recon- mended for the post of foreign min ister by Kato, after, it is understood Viscount Chinda, Ambassador to Washington, had declined.

Shilling Notes May
 Supersede Sovereign

4-
 London, sept 17zNow that 10 zhining notes have come into circu- Iation and the people are reconciled to their use. it seems likely that the half sovereign gold piece of this value may not be coined again. At least, there is popular asitation on against the small gold piece. Ac- cording to a well known banker, if a thousand pounds in half soveTeigns were shipped from London to Petro- grad, gold equal to one of the pieces would be lost by abrasion on the way, Thus a large amount of gold is lost daily through the wear and tear on these coins Before the warss the five pound Bank of EnglaAd note was the smallest piece of paper money issued Pound and haIf-pound 10 shiIling) notes were issued on the outbreak Of war and since the decline in AIneri- can exchange. gold has disappeared almost entirely from Circulation. It is not paid out by the banks in any case
 The small gold piece, which loses more metal through wear and tear tF1an the sovereign, is not the only coin to be condemned by coinage re- formers. The half crown (two and q half shi1lingsl has also been attacked in the newspapers as a senseless piece Of silver, since the forin ltwo shi1l- tngs3. with which it is so often con fused by English people as we'll as by strangers. is the proper multiple of a shilling. Silver crowns have not been coined for many years. and they never were popular because of their bulk So the reformers advocate a four shilling piece, which would cor respond to the American silver dol. lar.
