Stamford, Conn, March IS Early
this morning a man, known here as II.
A. Ayres, said to be prominent in Wall
street, swallowed capsule Of bichlcr-
de in his room in the Hotel Davenport.
He had made the capsule by moulding

He explained 10 the doctors tina. he

Baker" who had a room near his, and
who is described as his sister. She
gave an alarm, in response to which
Dr.. William L. Smith and Dr. j. H.
Staub were summoned They found
Ayres in such dangerous condition that
after removing him to the Stamford
Hospital they called DR.. Hills. his fam
ily physician, from New York. Dr..
Hills was with him tonight
Desperate efforts were made 10 con
ceal the facts, these efforts going as
far as bribery. Two persons on dis
tinct occasions told a reporter that
"Mr. Ayrcs's people would pay literally
20 keep the story out OF the papers
saying that they were authorized by
relatives to make this offer. After
these attempts had been made AZ
secrecy Mrs Baker denied that her
brother had taken bichloride, and char
acterized the story that he was IN the
hospital on account Of illness As rldlcu-
lous. Yet attending physicians quoted
Mr.. Ayres as saying repeatedly that he
wanted 70 die.
Mr.. Ayres registered at the hotel ON
March 20. and was said 10 be here

out for William Jennings Bryan.
Shakespeare and his Macbeth are the

with George Bernard Shaw following
close ON the bard's heels. Tennyson

tenant. II Is believed that these
losses are sufficiently. severe to i'm
press an officer with the necessity of
passing an examination for promo
ton This would not be an undue
punishment as would be the case II
an oficer was jumped by his juniors
during such a year of unusual promo
tion. 1t is generally believed that
something should be done in chis d.
rection as a protection against eX-
cessive loss of numbers by officers
who are suspended for failure to pass
their examinations.
Much adverse comment has been
caused by the delay in reimbursing
those who sustained losses in the
recent hurricane at Galveston, Tex.
in August. 1915. There were 5000
claims and the Secretary of War sub
mitted to Congress a recommendation
for legislation which would permit
the auditing officers of the Treasury
to pass upon and pay these claims,
which seem to be just They not only
included military property, such as
uniforms, but also personal property
of individuals. Members of the fam
lilies of officers Of the army, enlisted

severely. Regimental boards and com
manding officers determined the claims
at the time of the disaster in order
that there might be expedition and
accuracy in settlement The claims
amounted to $4,000 as originally
submitted but were cut down TO $685.
572 by a board OF army officers which
made a review of the estimates.
The policy now seems to be TO exclude
civilian clothing and other strictly per
sonal belongings. IL being contended that
this was catastrophe, which would have
resulted in such losses regardless Of the
military connection. II is hoped that this
unfair ruling will be corrected by legis-
lation which has been recommended. but
IL is feared that articles OF military char
acter will be strictly adhered to by Con-
gress with the result that the approved
claims will be further reduced. The
claimants. who have waited more than
a year to be reimbursed. are confronted
with the prospect OF only partial reim-
bursement, everything. however. depend
ing upon the Congressional committee.

The initial arrangements have been
completed by the Secretary of War for
the board authorized by the national
defense act to investigate the govern
ment manufacture of arms. An appro-
priation of $1,000 will be required to

Attention has lately been called by

Importance to this situation 1t has
peen necessary TO make some change
IN the existing situation because of the
increase In the commissioned personnel
OF the military establishment and the
prospective increase of officers in the
Navy and Marine Corps. Heretofore in
Inc army. the officers suspended for a
year lost in files by the number of
omceTs who passed over them. II is
proposed to change this in pending lesis-
iation so as to make it less of an in
justice as would be the case in a year
which includes the increases and con-
sequent promotions made on July by
provisions of the national defense act.
The loss of numbers in the navy is
regulated by striking an average of
promotions covering period of a
year. This method is likely to re-
main. The Marine Corps system was
the same as in the army, but with
the Increase now assured by the pro-
visions OF the naval bill which has
passed the House and Senate, II is
deemed equitable to adopt a stipulated
number of files which an officer shall
lose If he fails to qualify for promo
tton-one in the case of a lieutenant
colonel. two in the case of a major.

The Neglected Papaw.

The name 'pspaw" is Of Creole origin
and the fruit is very popular amons
them. 1t ripens IN Louisiana in au-
tumn, from September till October. Al
though the papaw grows freely through
the Southern forests, it is naturally dis
tributed well northward,- hCurishing in
Ontario and being quite common in New
York. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,,
fruiting in its wild state as we'll as under
cultivation.
Papaws, says G. F. brennan, in Farm
and Home, range from two to six inches
in length and from one to two or three
inches in diameter. They are shaped like
a gigantic kidney bean and are never
less than three in a bunch. Unlike the
banana to which the papaw bears a re-
semblance, both in appearance and taste,
the seeds are prominent being of large
size and horny hard. AS many as seven
seeds will sometimes be found in one pa
paw. These. seeds are slow to germ
mate. but 1t is the surest way to domes-
ticote the fruit.
1t is difficult tree to transplant from
the forest after It has attained any>size
but when quite young may be taken UT
and reset with ease, and will bear fruit
In three years. The. date-like seeds are
ranged in two rows, three on one side
four on the other, along a slight medium
mark In the eenter.. So many sound seed
to one fruit offers ready means of propa.
eating papaw trees on large scale.
/ The tree is a shrub OF large size every.
where except in the Southern States and
blooms early, before the leaves put out
In the South, II makes a tree 80 feet and
more and is considered ornamental
The flower clusters are purple wher
fully open, and clothe the tree before

Gre.t Britains Moral Guit.

II the British government had not broken
faith with Ireland there would have been no Case
pledges, Ireland today would not be hotbed OF
sedition or held under martial law. The passage
OF the home rule bill a solemn assurance
to ireland that it was at last to be granted m.
powers OF eelf-government But In the first
weeks of thC war Mr~Asquith and his associates
IN the government undid the work accomplished
in behalf of Ireland. The definite promises en-
bodied in act of Parliament were withdrawn.
Home rule was deferred for nobody knew how
long. The Irish had been grossly deceived. Thev
had been cheated of their rights. In the circurn
stances it was natural that conspiracy should
thrive in the soil of Ireland. The British gov
ernment by its. cynical disregard of its own
pared the field for this. Now that the Dublin
