WEALTHY YOUNG SUICIDE FEARED
 TAXING A WIFE
Eccentric Warren Maxwell Peabody Always Consid-
 cred Suicide Ideal.

Chicago. Nov. f2.--WarrCn Maxwell Peabody, youthful eccentric inventive genius, and chief heir to the millions of his father. the late Hiram $. Pea body, committed suicide Thursday afternoon because of the realization that his mental condition made his coming marriage to Miss Louise Car Tie Anderson of Memphis, Tenn, an impossibility.
 A coroner's jury took these facts into consideration and returned a verdict that the young man, who swallowed four ounces of cyanide of potassium, performed the act while temporarily insane.
 Peabody was to have been married next Tuesday and plans for a secret elopement had already heen made. He intended to go to Miss Ander- sons home in Memphis and they were to spend their honeymoon in the Cumberland mountains, where they had met.
 But the idea of suicide, which had been attractive to Peabody since the time he wore knickerbockers, grew rapidly as the day of his marriage noared. He realized his strange tenn perament, his nervousness, and the fact that he would possibly make the girl he loved unhappy.
 q believe suicide was an ideal to my boy,' said Mrs. Peabody, his mother, to the deputy coroner. "I say this from various things l have heard him say. I believe suicide was his ideal of what was beautiful. He was cratic and temperamental.'
 Among questions asked Mrs. Pea- body was:
 Was your son in love with or en- gagged to any one?'
 "Yes," replied Mrs. Peabody. "And to the best of my knowledge they were on good terms"
 A letter purporting to be the young mans last word to his fiancee at Memphis was given the deputy coro- ner by the police. It read:
 q have gone. You must not look for me for it will be useless. l love you. You must be brave. It won't be long. I will keep you warm and happy in the land of the great forest and the rolling prairies. l will al ways think of you and you will know.

Steps Taken to Insure Equitable Distribution
 and Regulate Prices.

Berlin, via London, Nov. 12.-Virtual- ly the entire food supply of the na ton is expected to pass under gov ernmental control to insure an equit- able distribution of supplies at fair prices among the entire population. Coffee, tea and cocoa were added to- day to the list of products whose sale was regulated by the state.
 The federal council authorized the chancellor to issue regulations cov- .ering trade in them.
 The chancellor also was authorized to establish maximum prices for buckwheat and millet, marmalades and honey, vegetables, fruits and sauer kraut. These prices apply to producers.
 Local authorities in municipalities Of more than 10000 population are required to fix maximum prices for retailers in these supplies. The au- thorities in smaller places are em- powered to take similar action if they see fit The chancellor is given au- thority to set maximum limit above which prices may not go.
 Bread, potatoes, pork, milk ana butter already have been subjected to a maximum price schedule. The consumption of other meats is regu- lated and estimated by so-called "meatless days"
 Maximum prices for all varieties ot meat and fish are believed to be ln sight.

UNCE SAM CAN'T GUARANTEE SAFETY
 OF COTTON SHIPS
Southern Shippers Ask U.
 <. to Protect Against r Great Britain.

Washington, Nov 12.--The demand of the American Transatlantic Steamship company for a guaranty from the state department that it's steamer, the Winnebago, will not be seized by the British, has precipitat- ed many similar requests. Most of these como from the cotton shippers of the South.
 In thei'. letters and telegrams to Secretary Lansing, the shippers cite the last note Ofa this country to Gerat Britain as a reason the United States should guarantee their vessels against seizure. In announcing that it docs not recognize the British or ders in council, the shippers declare, this country puts itself on record in .. position where it must guarantee Americans that their cargoes and yes sells will not be seized.
 In the case of the Winnebago, Sec retary Lansing again today indicated that this government is powerless to guarantee that vessel will not be seized when it was obtained under registry challenged by Great Britain. The latter country, if it challenges the ownership, is within it's rights in seizing the vessel and holding it until prize court has determined whe ther it is 'enemy-oWned."
 It is the position of the state de- partment that if the Winnebago is seized and subsequently it is proved that it is owned solely by American interests, the owners can then de- mand damages from Great Britain. Such damages will be vigorously backed by this government, Secretary Lansing indicated.

The best bout of the evening

Renewed Activity

With the annexation of st.
Johns district TO Portland re-
newed activity has started in be-
half of Peninsula boulevard from
Killingsworth avenue and
Greeley street along the bluff
overlooking the Willamette River
through Lower Albina TO Broad
way bridge. The federated Pen
insula committee has been await
ing completion of the merger be-
fore taking aggressive steps, and
now il is planned to take up the
matter with vigor. The merging
of st. Johns will provide a much
larger district to be benefited by
the "cut.off," and consequently
a bigger district TO be assessed
for the cost of the new street,
materially reducing the cost TO
the individual lot owner. The
first ordinance establishing PEN
insula boulevard will go before
the Council next Wednesday, ac-
cording to plans of the federated
Peninsula committee. Cost of
the right of way is estimted at
Sl10. 900. but this will be cut TO
about $50, 600 by condemning the
old st. Johns wagon road, which
the boulevard replaces. The
principal opposition was found
along Killinsgworth avenue by
property owners who fear such
boulevard would divert traffic
from that street. .-Oregonian.

Makes Just Decision

Judge Gatens did a fine thing
in his disposition of the Fowle
case this week. IL was the most
just decision heard for a long
time. He showed full realiza-
ton of the crimes of society"
and did not believe in furnishing
the woman and permitting the
man to go unpunished and undis-
graced. The fairness of the Jud-
ge is most refreshing and will
undoubtedly have a good effect
toward equalizing the guilt in
such occurrences.
Judge Gatens characterized
the crime as one "such as is COM
mitted daily by many of the re-
spectacle married people of the
country, usually for no other rea-
son than a wish to avoid the re.
sponsibility and burden of rear
ing a large family"
"Is the taking Of the life of
the unborn child any less a
crime than taking the life Of a
child one day old?" asked the
Judge. why make an example
of these two? Must this girl and
her entire family be sentenced 10
everlasting condemnation and
this boy be allowed to go abso.
lutely free? ! do not agree with
society.
THE mother of this unfortun.
ate girl had other children to
bring up whom as she said
would have 10 endure the sneers
and jeers of society,"" and. half
crazed by the thought of the dis
grace which the birth of the
child must bring TO the innocent
members of her family il made
public. she. in her ignorance and
desperation thought to save
them. and committed this awful
deed"
Judge Gatens censured the
double standard of morals
which blames the woman and al
lows the man to go free"
Bring these men into court, F"
he said. "and make them stand
trial with the girls upon whom
they have brought or helped to
bring disgrace. and soon we
shall mt an end IN this sort of
thing"
