HEROIC MEASURES
SAVES GIRL s LIFE
Miss Gladys Lane Takes Large Dose
of Bichioride of Mercury With
Suicidal Intent.

Miss Gladys Lane. living with her
aunt at No. 2l06 Short Q Street, was
saved from death early this morning
by the heroic work of DIR. Walker, of
the ambulance corps. He was called
to the residence shortly after l O'Clock.
and after half an hours work relieved
the young woman of quantity of
bichloride of mercury, which she had
taken in tablets.
The young woman had evidently
planned to commit suicide. She left
note to her aunt, directing the ar
rangements for her funeral, going so
far as to name her favorite flowers
and the names of the pallbearers.
The impression on the minds of those
who were present, was that the whole
incident arose over a love affair. Miss
Lane appeared to be very glad she did
not pass over the divide.
The aunt does not think the niece
will again attempt to commit suicide.

Golf Days Program.

Rosiyn, L. l.. June 24.--Colonel
Edward Nj. House does not play golf
himself, SO he sat on the veranda Of
the Piping Rock Clubhouse this after
noon watching three friends drive
off the first tee. The first to get his
ball away was President Wilson. The
golf expert said that the Preside mt
sliced a trife, but the ball scared a
full 100 yards and fell clear of a
bunker midway down the green.
Colonel House gazed thoughtfully at
the tiny white proiectile and at the
President following his ffteen-year old
caddie. irish Boyd, who walked along
in an ectacy of high responsibility.
Then the colonel turned to a comrade
who sat with him on the porch and
said;
I'm that man out there. Colonel
House waved his hand--''lies the only
hope of world peace. He is acting
most inteiligently and under extreme
difficulties In way that could not
be bettered"
Heart-fo-H Heart Talks.
An hour earlier the President and
Colonel House had been sitting close
together In the pavilion at the sum-
mer home 'of Gordon Auchincloss. in
Roslyn, talking earnestly. It was one
of three heart-to heart conversations
they shared today. Colonel House,
who returned from his European mis-
sion on June 13, had had not previous
opportunity to report to the President
what he learned and surmised on his
tour of various courts and embassies.
OF what tsle President and Colonel
House talked about no word came
from either. The President sent word
to newspaper men that he never had

The colonel said he could not with
propriety give even hint as to the
conference. 1t was intimated, how
ever. that although, Colonel House re-
ported fully the results of his ohser
yations in Europe. he was able to
ter the President little which he did
not know
No Present Hope for Peace.
Colonel House had not changed his
opinion. given up his arrival here
that there is no present chance for
peace. He believes. and 1t may be as
sumed That he so informed the Presi~
dent. that if all the rumors Of peace
overtures that have appeared were To
be run down, not one would he found
to have any substantial basis.
He believes that there may come a
time when the United States will be
able to do duty as a mediator. hut
that it Is not to be thought of with
the combatants in their present tenn
per. He also believes that the people
of this country have no adequate con-
ception of the stature to which Presi-
dent Wilson has arisen in the eyes nj
sovereigns and Republican heads
abroad. In some of the countries he
visited he saw pictures publicly dis
played with the legend. President

that he dared without affronting his
friends modesty in telling the Presi-
dent this today.
