DIR. BOYLE COMMITS SUICIDE.

DR., Stacey w. Boyle, who opened an
office in this village for the practice of
medicine last December and left Mid
dlebury about four weeks ago, saying
he was going to France to enter the
French army, committed suicide at
Colon, Panama. DR.. Boyle was on his
way from New York to Peru where he
had been engaged as one of the five
physicians at the mines of the Cerro de
Pasco Mining Co. Evidently he changed
his plans after reaching New York as
he sailed for Peru August u on the
fruit steamer Pastores. Passengers on
the boat stated that Dr. Boyle acted
strangely on the trip. He shot himself
through the head about two hours after
landing at Colon.
DR.. Boyle, who was 80 years old, was
the son of Dr. Charles c. Boyle, an eye
specialist of New York city, with ar
office at 40 East Forty-frst street.
According to the application flee
with the New York office of the CerrC
de Pasco Mining company, DR.. S. W.
Boyle was a graduate of the New York
Homeopathic Medical college and OF
Flower hospital, 1908. He sailed fol
Cerro de Pasco, Peru, on August II,
as first class passenger on the United
Fruit company steamer Pastores,
having been engaged by the mining
company as one of the five physicians
it employs in its mines.
At the New York Office of the
mining company it was said that DR..
Boyle's record had been thoroughly in
vestigated before he was engaged, and
as a result it was believed there that
his suicide was due to meancholia in
duced by the heat or by severe head
aches, with which he often suffered.

FIRE IN LINCOLN.

The house and barn owned by Peter
Lafayette in Lincoln were destroyed
by fire about $50 o'clock Wednesday
morning. The origin of the fire is

from the roof near the chimney. Owing
to the scarcity of water the fire gained
great Roadway in spite of the ready re-
Spouse of men in the surrounding dis
trict to the call for help. The greater

IN SINGLE SQUARE
kanSanS Won't Vote for Indi-
viduaI Candidates.
Presidential Electors to Receive
Collected Vote.

Kansans will not vote for individual
candidates for presidential electors in
November. That is an order to be sent
to county clerks by ]. T. Botkin. sec
day by S. NJ. Brewster. attorney gen.
eral. Voters in this state will vote in
a single square for the electors favor
ing Republican, Democratic. Socialist
or Prohibition candidates for presi-
dent and vice president.
In 1918 the state legislature
amended the election laws The
amendment was probably intended to
carry the old provision that voters
should mark in the squares after
names of candidates for presidential
electors. The Brewster ruling, how
ever, eliminates the numerous squares
after electoral candidates and leaves
but one square in which the voter
may designate a choice for president.
Names of electoral candidates with
their addresses will be printed on the
general election ballots under the
vice president for whom they are
favorable. Thus: For president.
Charles E. Hughes; for vice president,
Charles w. Fairbanks; Republican,
and square. In the square the voter
will mark a cross, provided he or she
desires to support the Republican
nominees. A similar course will be
pursued in printing names of nominees
of Democratic, Socialist and Prohibi-
ton candidates. Under the names of
candidates for president and vice
president will be printed names of
the candidates for electors-ten can
didates of each party-but without a
square in which to vote
Four fears ago Kansans voted for
the individual candidates for presi-
Dental elector. This year the Brew
ster ruling will facilitate the voting
and permit voters to mark in the
square after the names of the party
nominees for president and vice presi-
dent.

are determined to save their properties
from the bandits, and realizing that
Carranza is not capable of coping with
the bandits, are backing General Diaz

AT MEXICO'S MERCY
Colonel Roosevelt Says Wilson Left
Americans to Their Fate,

In letter made public today, The
odore Roosevelt charges that Presi-
dent Wilson and Josephus Daniels
secretary of the navy, deliberately
abandoned Americans in Tampico,
Mexico, to their fate when American
battleships at that place were ordered
to proceed to Vera Cruz to take part
in the occupation of that city bv
American troops. The charges are
made in answer to communication
addressed to MR- Roosevelt by Henry
Feuterdahl, writer on naval topics
of Weehawken, \. j.
Mr.. Roosevelt says that in leaving
American citizens to such protection
as they could obtain from foreign
governments, Admiral Mayo, in COM
mand of American naval forces at
Tampico, acted over his own protest
to the navy department and only after
he had been overruied by the admin
istration at Washington.
