Wealthy Widow
Commits Suicide
Mrs. Hartman Asked To Be
Confined in Pine
Box

Mrs. Elizabeth Hartman. wealthy
widow, was found dead yesterday
morning in the bathroom of her suite
in the Southern Apartments. at
$50 Madison Avenue. One hand
gripped a revolver, from which she
had sent bullet into her heart
In the other was textbook expound-
ing principles of the faith Of her later
life, whose front cover proclaimed in
gilt letters: Heal the Sick, Raise the
Dead, Cleanse the Lepers. Cast Out
Demons" She had been i'll for three
weeks as a result of a cold caught in a
heavy rain.
The book to which Mrs. Hartman
clung as she died was open at the
page on which the following phrase
was underlined: an moment. and in
the twinkling of an eye, all shall be
changed"
Mrs. Hartman left note for her son,
Archer Hartman, vice-pres of the
Guayaquil-Qu Railroad of Ecuador,
which was delivered to him sealed
when he arrived from his home at
Short Hills, n. j., with his wife and
brother-in-law. Another note, ad-
dressed to Z. H. Patrick, manager of
the apartment building, directed that
Mrs Harmans body be cremated. Her
habit of economy had controlled the
widow to the last, evidenced by her
suggestion that a plain pine box be her
coffin and a motor truck her hearse.
Mrs. Harman's husband was the late
Major John Alexander Hartman. L. S.
A.. retired. After leaving the army, he
built the South American road, of which
his son is now an officiala line

Lost Raphael Found
In London Salesroom
Supposed Copy Turns Out To
Be Original and Worth
100000

LONDON. May Ga painting by
Raphael has just been brought to light
in London. A few months ago a London
picture dealer bought in salesroom a
copy Of the picture in the Ufiizi Gal
leria of Florence. known as Raphaels
Madonna Of the Well" For a long
time past it has been known that this
Florence picture was not actually BY
Raphael. but "a copy Of picture pre-
sumably lost.
The London dealer sold his copy OF

clients. a well known collector of early
Italian art 1t was intrustcd TO an eX-

same subject. When. all the top paint
was taken off there was revealed re-
uarkable piece Of work. which was i'm
mediately pronounced by experts the
unmistakab!e work OF Raphael in fact,
the picture from which the Florence
copy was executed.
II Is less finished than most OF
Raphael's work, which is probably the
reason why some ono Improved It a
century later by rcpaintlng the whole
canvas, but II is declared to be IN the
same style as his famous Visitation,
in the Madrid Gallery. Its history can
not be traced back more than fifty
wears. when il was brought from South
America, where 1t had probably been
originally taken from Spain.
The present owner has no intention

the London public galleries. It's marke,

BATAVIA, Netherlands East Indies July 26.-Japan's commercial expan sion in the. Netherlands East Indies is proceeding apace. According to the Sumatra Post a Japanese steamship company is establishing a service for the duration of the war between Hol- lands far eastern colony and the port for Mecca, to serve the pilgrims to the sacred shrine of the prophet, Moham- med, from among the big Mohammed- an population of these islands.
 A Japanese sugar company at Tokio is reported to be planning the purchase of a sugar manufactory in the Island of Java, and the lease of 5000 acres of land to raise sugar cane.

 This was the signal for action by the strike speakers. Cannon was the first to respond and his talk was all along the line of a continuance of the strike.
 Soup Kitchen Planned
 The meeting broke up when the Austrian, Cora, took the speakers stand and made an incendiary talk.
 Representations that a soup kitchen is necessary to feed the families of the strikers were made to the city council tonight in a communication from the miners union and a plea for free wat CT was granted by the municipal body. The water is to be served without charge to the miners who have estab- lished their soup kitchen in the old Webster House. Their communica- tion stated that no charge is to be made for the meals served at the soup house.
 Secretary George Smith of the min CTS union said tonight that car of flour, car of potatoes and three tons of beans have been purchased and are now en route to Globe for use at the soup kitchen. He also stated that the I. O. o. F. lodge and the local Moose lodge have each voted a contribution of s100 for the use of the miners rn- ion in the present strike situation. This it is presumed. is to be used for the alleviation of suffering among the families of the strikers.
 Colonel White announced tonight that 16O more troops would arrive in Globe tomorrow morning at o'clock The entire equipment, including horses for the cavalry troops already here, will also arrive at this time.

PrOspectOr Office
 Damaged ByFire

The press room of the Tombstone Prospector was struck by lightning Wednesday night about eleven o'clock and a fire started that was not dis covered until several hours later. All of the presses and considerable job stock was damaged by the fire as was the paper cutter The lightning evi- dently came down the exhaust pipe judging from the manner in which the floor was burned and then srpead from that point. The fire had been burning sometime before it broke out so that 1t was discovered and when the water was turned in the building, the presses were red hot and the water damaged them to considerable extent. The pa per however, was out on time last night, it being run off on the old Campbell hand press. The loss will be several thousand dollars. partly covered by insurance.
