NORMAN BOYER, MAGAZINE
WRITER, TAKES OWN LIFE

Made Fatal Mistake, Suicide

Norman Boyer, thirty-six years old.

of a New York publication, committed
suicide in the apartment of his brother.

Island avenue northwest, last night by
inhaling Illuminating gas.

that has wrecked my life. This is the
only thing can do now"
Boyer wrote the message on slip
of paper and left it on a dresser in the
room he occupied at his brothers
apartment. His brother was unable to
suggest what the mistake was.
Coroner Nevitt was told that the
young man suffered nervous break
down and was in New York hospital
for several weeks. Nearly two months
ago he came to this city and was a
guest at his brothers apartment.
1t Is said that Mr.. Boyer was de-
spondent and that his condition sug-
gested that he probably was not re-
sponsible for taking his life. He re-

made an investigation and gave a GER

Case to Take Normal Course.

Charles A. Towne. counsel for the
owner. Of the steamship Wilhelmina.
now under detention by the British
authorities at Falmouth, England. had
a conference with the officials of the
State Department today. The depart
ment has concluded that the case must
be allowed to take normal course,
which involves going to prize court.
because of the serious issue raised by
the British contention that the Ger
man government has justified the
seizure Of the Wilhelmina's cargo by its
decree expropriating the grain supply
of Germany.
The st. Louis commission house own
ing the cargo and perhaps the VIII
helminas owners, will be represented
by counsel before the prize court. but
the State Department, though deeply
interested in the outcome of the case,
will content itself at present by in
structing the American ambassador to
observe the progress of the case care
fully and see that the American coun-
sci enjoy all the privileges to which
they are entitled.
1t is, of course. understood that the
decision of the prize court is not neces-
sarily binding upon the American gov
ernment, and that 1t may be made the
subject of a protest and diplomatic
negotiations at the discretion of the
State Department.

to exaggerated reports of heavy losses

effect that only siXty-five Canadians
have died in this camp. and that the
total loss from meningitis has been
twenty-four men out of forty cases re-
ported.
It had been reported that an entire
Canadian battalion was suffering from
meningitis. and the inference had been
drawn that the epidemic was due to
bad camp conditions. According to the
war office. however, the disease was
brought with the contingent from Can
ada.
The World. a London weekly publica
tion, said in a recent issue that it was
reported that the Canadian contingent in
England, out of total of 10000 men,
had lost 500. who had died as a result
of their exposure to the weather.

POTATO MEAL BREAD GOOD.

Bread made from at least 80 per cent
potato meal. as is now compulsory in

wholesome and palatable by expert
ments conducted at the bureau of chem
istry. In the Department of Agricul-
ture These experiments show that the
best results are obtained with a small
er proportion of the potato meal used,
as the larger proportion makes the
bread soggier and heavier. The potato

longer.
