Would END LIFE
BY IMAGINATION
:s.sadent Lover Tries New Way
to Commit Suicide.

Los Angeles, July 4.-Records for
keen ina gination were shattered IN
the case Of Edward corrigan. who
almost succeeded in killing himself
with thought.
Corrigan Is young engineer and
had been going with girl with whom
he quarreled. "The end will come In
a couple of hours" he said in sepui-
chral tones Shortly after he wae
found in bed In a comatose condition
and when folks entered his room he
asked for a priest 70 administer the
last rites.
Police Surgeon Zorb made a min
ute examination and thought Corri-
gan had taken poison. His eyes were
dilated and his outward condition in
dicated poisonous symptoms. Treat
ment applied caused DR.. Zorb and
other experts called in to believe the
case was one of self-hypnotism
caused by mental depression.
When Corrigan returned to his
senses in the hospital he broke out in
tears, saying he was respondent over
his broken love affair.

Policy Of Wilson
Supplants Monroe Doctrine

aid in keeping the world safe for
democracy.
Interested In Poiand's Affairs.
Specifically President Wilson has
declared that this nation has very
definite objects. as to the destines
of such nations as Poland, and the
fate of oppressed peoples generally.
whether they are of of right entitled
to the protection of the United
States under the Monroe Doctrine.
Officials of the Washington govern
ment and students ana economists.
whose opinions are respected IN
high quarters. have come to the
conclusion that the trade isolation
of the United States cannot longer
endure. In fact the nation is now
feverishly. organizing for a vastly
extended Foreign trade. New legis-
lation, notably the export control
law, opens new. avenues for Ameri-
can domination of world trade.
So then the question of world
political policies, walking hand in
hand as 1t must with trade, comes
sharply forward and is forcing the
opinion here that the Monroe Doc
trine must now be abandoned. to
be succeeded by a new imperialistic
theory Of International policy.
Business Seeks Foreign Trade.
The business interests of the
country are being thaught by the gov
eminent to expand their trade into
strange ports. Far-signhted statesmen
here now decry the rapidly ap-
preaching period when American
merchants will insist that the govern
ment espouse a policy which will die
tate the extension Of a strong hand
| over the whole world, for the protec-
ton Of American interests on every
| sea and in every land. 1t is not hid
den that this hand cannot be extended
until the shackles of the Monroe Doc
trfne are knocked from 1t.
More imminent is the position the
United States shall take in the peace
conference, at the end of the present
war. Politicians, scornful of Amer
ica's delay in entering the war, have
declared that the plenipotentiaries of
the European powers, will not hearken
to the voice of the American people
at that conference. At Washingto
the soundness of this assumption is
doubted. In fact officials here go so
far as to feel that the word of the
United States, like Caesars, will stand
against the world. Consequently. these
officials are now making up their
minds definitely as to whether the
United States shall abandon the
teachings of Monroe. and enter
whole-heartedly into the European
chess-game. or remain a hermit power
sitting alone on this side of the At
lantic. with the group of Latin Amer
lean nations for acolytes.
Takes Hand I'm Albania
The seriousness of the question is
not disguised. Already there is a
strong tendency on the part of this
government to take hand in Euro
pean diplomatic concerns. For in
stance. the State Department has
viewed. with especial interest and re-
served opinion, the action of Italy
in establishing a protectorate over
Albania
On the surface this appears a mat
ter too remote from American con-
cern to be seriously regarded. Such
is not the case. At this juncture, the
Albanian situation cannot be freely
discussed, but 1t is known that the
matter is held open.
Today the future political, economic
and military policy of the United
States is in the balance.

Fire at 8 o'clock Monday afternoon

Highwood avenue, Bogota, owned by

The damage is estimated at about

supposedly to blame. Chief w. G..

Municipalities To
Giue Liquor Licenses

Trenton, Feb. 6.-Senator Mackay
carrying out the agreement reached
last week by the advocates of the
Gaunt and Mackay local option bills
introduced on Monday night new
bill to take from the county judges
the power Of granting liquor licenses
and vesting this power in the local
governing bodies in municipalities
where the sale of licenses are not now
granted by excise boards. : This is
one Of the home rule ideas for which
Mr.. Mackay has been contending.
This feature was embodied in the
Mackay Local Option Bill but it was
feared that it would have to be put
in a separate bill in order to guard
against any claim of constitu-
tionality.
The other principle provisions of
the Mackay bill arc being incorporat-
ed in the Gaunt bill which will be
made stronger by the merging of the
Mackay and Gaunt bills.

Timely Rescue OF
Women and Children
In Englewood Fire

A fire in the tailor shop of S.
Schneider, of 22 Dean street, Engle-
wood, at 10 o'clock last Monday even
ing resulted hard fight for the
the firemen and the near suffocation
Of several women and children living
in the apartments above.
The fire evidently originated from
an overheated stove in the tailor
shop. 1t soon spread to surrounding
materials and was flaming mass
when the firemen arrived.
On word from neighbors that the
women and children were asleep
above, firemen quickly mounted a
ladder, while others hurried up the
stairway, which by this time was al
most cut off by the flames. A search
Of the apartments revealed the sleep
ing tenants who were awakened and
carried to the street by way of the
ladders.
The tailor shop with contents was
damaged to the amount of about
$4,000.

Bedouin Love Song

From the desert come to thee
On a stallion shod with fire;
And the winds are left behind
In the speed of my desire.
Under thy window | stand,
/ love thee, love thee,
With love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment
book unfold!
Look from thy window and see
My passion and my pain;
! lie on the sands below,
And faint in thy disdain.
Let the night winds touch thy brow
With the heat of my burning sigh,
And melt thee to hear the vow
Of love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment
book unfold!
My steps are nightly driven,
By the fever in my breast.
To hear from thy lattice breathed
The word that shall give me rest.
Open the door Of thy heart,
And open thy chamber door,
And my kisses shall teach thy lips
The love that shall fade no more
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment
book unfold!

to 10 per cent is the object of bill

A number of municipalities that

have found that the Pierson act stops
those improvements because they
would raise the debt beyond the pres.

Hackensack would be unable tc
build its proposed new sewer system
