ted suicide at his rooms in the Eok
building, No. 136 Rowland Avenue, just
after nine o'clock Monday night when
he drank poison supposed to have en-
a Nsolution of cyanide of potassium and
whiskey.
Martin had been very nervous all day
Monday and he hadsnot been at work
during the day. After he ate. his sap
per he appeared to be. morose and des-
pondent. He was living in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. John Zlanowicz md
they were in the room at the time he
drank the poison. "Well, goodbye, y

as he pulled the flask from his pocket
and put it to his lips. They. made a

followed the bottle was broken but
enough of the poison had passed the lips

of the man to bring death. He fell to
the floor unconscious and the police de-
partment found him in this condition ten
minutes later. He was hurried to the
Kenosha hospital and DR.. P. P. M. Jor-
gensen vas called to attend him. He
died about five minutes after he reached
the hospital before anything could be
done to counterfeit the effects of the
poison. The remains were removed to
the Hansen morgue and Coroner Milla-
ger announced this afternoon that a
post mortem would be made to determ-
inc just what kind of poison the man
took and after the post norton the cor
oner Will decide as tc the possibility of
holding an inquest.
Martin was a native of Russia and he
had lived in Kenosha for the past three
and half years He came here from
Pittsburg. He was never married
and so for as is known he had no near
relatives In this section of the country.
He had worked in one of the local fac
tories for some time and was credited
with being an excellent workman. Last
Saturday he had been under the in
fluence of liquor and he had continued
drinking on Sunday. Monday he de-
clared that he was not going to work
and complained of being i'll. He did
not make any threats to commit cui-
eide and he had been given every pos
sible care by other people in the house
He left the house during the afternoon
and it is thought that he went to the
plating room of the factory and secured
poison which he afterward mingled with
the liquor.
It is declared that he took into his
system a large amount of the potion
Efforts are being made to locate rela-
tives of the man in Pittsburg and other
cities and no arrangements will be made
for the funeral until after an inquest
is held.
The suicide of Martin caused great
excitement among the scores Of people
who live in he Eok building and when
the police reached the place with the
police ambulance the street was
thronged with people.

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR
THE CONTROL OF CANCER

CINCINNATI. O., Oct 27.-Public
laboratories operated by state and
city boards of health and state uni
yersities are now contributing eff
fectively toward the reduction of the
cancer death rate, according to Cur
lis E. Lakeman, executive secretary
OF the American Society for the Con-
troll of Cancer.
Discussing the topic at today's meet
ing of the Section of Public Health
Administration of the American Pub
lie Health Association, Mr.. Lakeman
pointed out that the best medical au
tborities agree that cancer, like tuber-
culosis, must be treated at the very
beginning to insure the greatest hope
OF cure and it is believed that the pro
vision of free public facilities for the
examination Of specimens of suspect
ed cancerous tissue results in the
earlier recognition and more compe-
tent treatment of many cases wher-
ever such laboratory service is pro-
yided by the state or city.

FINLAND PROFITS BY
THE GREAT STRIFE

HELINGSFORS, Finland, Oct. 81
Finland, with the exception of few
industries that have suffered, has ex-
perienced boom as a result of the
war. There is most recent indica-
ton of this in plans that are now
practically completed for a steamship
line designed to run from Finnish
ports to North and South America.
One of the most striking features Of
the present economic conditions in
the country is the flood of ready mon
ey. The Bank of Finland has greatly
increased its note circulation, and
deposits in private banks have in
creased to enormous figures. This
food Of money is due in gerat part to
the Russian governments expendi-
lures for the maintenance of troops,
military necessities, and fertilization
work.
The difficulties in the way of ex-
porting and even the unfavorable
communications with many parts of
interior Russia also resulted in much
money styling in the country which
would otherwise have gone abroad.
Good harvests in the autumn of 1915
also made it unnecessary to buy the
usual quantity of grain outside Fin
land and contributed to increase the
amount of capital looking for invest
ment.
The sawmill industry-one of the
country's leading industries-has suf-
fered rather severely At the end of
tie year the number of employees in
this branch had decreased some GO
per cent. The building trades are also
as everywhere in belligerent coua-
ries-stagnating The pulp and pa
per business was not able to increase
its sales above the figures of 1918, but
higher prices offset this.
Iron and steel industries did de-
cidedly satisfactory business. The
number of employees increased AMI
workmen have received substantial
increases of wages The wooden in
dustry had a god year, and the leath-
er factories have been working under
pressure to satisfy demands. They
have thus far been able to secure am
pie supplies of hides from Russia, aud
the number of workmen has increased
by at least a quarter.
