COMMITS SUICIDE
 BY WHALING GAS
Mrs. Famous. Widely Known as Translator of French and Italian
 Literature, Ends Her Life.

New York, Jan. 19.-Mrs. Dora Knowlton Ranous, authoress, widely known as a translator of French and Italian literature, committed suicide at her home here today by inhaling gas. Dread of a repetition of two paralytic strokes from which she had suffered, was ascribed by her friends as the motive for the deed.
 Mrs. Famous was widow and lived alone with a housekeeper, who found her dead in bed. To her friend and literary co-worker, pr. Rossiter Johnson, she left money for funeral expenses and a note in which she said she was ESQ weary of my broken life with a prospect of worse to come that cannot bear it any longer.
 God will not be angry with me, the note continued. T have confessed everything to him. He knows how much I can bear and must know l can bear it no longer

ASK RIGHT TO PROCEED
 IN NAME OF COMPANY
New Haven Minority Stock holders Suing ex-Direct-
 ors for $1O2, 100000.

Boston, Jan. 19.-Minority stock holders of the N. Y, N. H. & Hartford Railroad, who are suing former dl- rectors of the road to recover from them 100000, for losses alleged to have been incurred by the company in unprofitable and improper pur- chases, today filed an amendment to their suit seeking the right to proceed in the name of the corporation itself.
 They claim the present directors have refused to press such suit TOT restitution because of friendliness for their predecessors, and "intimations which they, (the former directors) have made to withdraw their financial support from the railroad and thereby 1 cause it financial embarrassment and 1 possible receivership." .,........ | As instances of the refusal of the 1 present administration to support the suit, the minority interests set forth that. Moorefield Storey, counsel for 1 the corporation, at the recent annual | meeting, authorized the plaintiff to proceed at their own expense. In be- half of Ralph $. Bartlett and other minority stockholders, their counsel wrote MT. Storey that if the directors would sanction the suit in the cor 
 porations name, they would conduct , the litigation at their expense. It was stipulated that Q receiver be appoint ed for the claims for restitution, and twelve lawyers, headed by Governor Mccall, were named as possible , choices.
 Replying under date of Decem Der 27, 1915, MT. Storey said the directors were convinced there was not suffi-
 cient foundation for the suits, and that they were not for the best inter-
 ests of the company" the amend ment states
 The charge is made in the bill of the amendment that the present di- ectors have caused the corporation to defend the present suit, which was aimed at former officials of the com pany.
 Today's amendment follows a de cision by the superior court tha minority stockholders could not bring a bill of the nature filed by Bartlett and his associates, unless the direct ors of the road refused absolutely to prosecute in the name of the road

NEW AUDITORIUM
J. s, Bennett Planning the Erection of & Large Social Hall As Addi- ton to Arch Street Building.

If the present plans which J. $. Bennett owner of the Union Laundry building on Arch street materialize. the city will soon boast of one of the most up-to-date halls in the state where social functions of all natures may be conducted and fill the gap which will occur on the first of Feb ruary when Landers. Frary & Clark will take over for manufacturing pur- poses, Hanna's hall, the most eXten sively used building for social pur- poses at the present time.
 MT. Bennett this afternoon ad- mitted that he had the project in mind but that nothing definite had been done in the matter He said that if sufficient assurances were re- ceived to warrant going ahead and erecting the addition to his present building he would do so.
 The building is ideally located for @ hall of this nature. and there is no doubt that it would be a success. With the passing out of Hanna's Ar mory there is not, at present. suit able place for holding any large af- fair. The building is at the foot of Grand street, a few minutes walk from Main street. If the plans of MT Bennett mature a new addition to the present building will measure 16O by 40 feet. This would assure comfortable ac ' mmodations for var ious kinds of functions.
