WASHINGTON, July 27.-Sir Ed
ward Grey cabled Secretary Lansing
today that the British government
has in preparation another note to
the United States on the orders in
Council, and asked that the note de-

planned.
No indica ton of the nature of the
Forthcoming note was given in Sir
Edwards cable, and state department
officials have no lntimation. They
assume, however, that 1t is of a sup
Elemental nature.
The development will further delay

Charles Rausch, sixty-eight years
old, committed suicide about day.
break this morning by hanging him
self with a piece of clothesline to a
tree in West Side Park Shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock a boy told Park Police
man Charles Vogel that man had
been standing for long time against
tree In a secluded corner at Four
teenth street apd Sixteenth avenue
and that something must be the mat
ter with him.
The policeman found Rausch dead
with his feet only an inch or two off
the ground and recognized him as a
derelict who had hung about the park
off and on for years. Although
dressed In overalls and very. shabby
in appearance a printed card was
found In his pocket giving his name
and 16 Chadwick avenue as his ad-
dress.
The police were told that Rausch
had not lived at the address for ten
years, but that relatives still lived
there. Nothing of his history could
be learned except that he was once
tanner, but recently has had no
home.
Policeman Vogel tried artificial
respiration until the City Hospital
ambulance which Chief Thomas Gill
hooley summoned arrived, but the
physician who responded said the
man had been dead at least five
hours. The body was removed to
Holes morgue.
Miss Florence Ackerman, twenty
one years old. of 905 Bergen street,
attempted suicide i'm her home this
morning by drinking quantity of
varnish The girl was discovered i'm
mediately after she had taken the
draught and prompt medical attention
probably saved her life.
Miss Ackerman was operated upon
for appendicitis about two weeks ago,
and according to her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. August Ackerman, she has
acted queerly since.
Shortly after the girl arose this
morning she went to the bathroom.
Her mother noticed her taking a
bottle from the sink In the kitchen,
and, noting the suspicious actions of
the girl, she followed her.
AS the mother reached the bathroom
the girl had just drained the contents
of the bottle. DIR. M. e. Steen, of 908
Bergen street, was summoned and ad-
ministered first aid, after which the
young woman was sent to the City
Hospital. There the stomach pump
was used with good effect, and it is
believed that she will recover.

PRU TAXAbLES
DOUBLE; WILL
CUT TAX RATE
Company Fixes Total at $2o,-
142,40O, an Increase of
$11,1a3,ooo.

The Prudential Insurance Company
today filed with the Board of Assess
ments and Revision of Taxes at the
City Hall their statement of taxable
property for 1915. The statement
shows that the city can levy on $780,
~. 400 for the tax rate of 1915. This
Is an increase of S11 $4,000 last year,
when the taxable value was only
$3.50, 400. This will mean the reduc-
tlon Of several points in the esti-
mated tax rate for 1915.
The total assets for the company for
1915 are given as 1851, 532 ,07O. In 1914
they were 1923, ,24o544. Te debts and
liabilities in 1915 were $323, ,93l ,724
against 1896, ,4S3,469 in 1914 Their real
estate amounts to about SIS, ,0O0 600.
The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance

would be here in another week.
In official quarters the development
was regarded as highly significant.
The belief prevailed thai the last
American note to Germany with its
reference to the freedom of the seas
may have influenced Great Britain to
place herself on record as willing to
take under consideration any new
suggestions by the United States to
the belligerents.
Sir Edward Grey's request that tho
note received yesterday be withheld
was taken to mean. at all events, that
a new situation had arisen or that
some new proposals were about to be
made by Great Britain to alleviate
the effects of the order in council.
In view of the development, Secre-
tary Lansing declined to discuss the
British note already in hand, but took
occasion today to deny reports that
cotton was about to be placed on the
contraband list by Great Britain.
Mr.. Lansing declared there had been
no discussion whatsoever between the
state department and the British en-
bassy here or the British foreign office
in London relative to a change in the
non-contraband status of cotton.
