ATTEMPTS
 SUICIDE AT CITY
 JAIL YESTERDAY
John Collins, in Jail on Charge of Be- ing Absent Without Leave, Makes
 Attempt to End Life

An attempted suicide was frustrated by Day Warden Glover yesterday after noon at 1 o'clock at the city jail when John J. Collins. soldier from Camp Mcclellan. who was placed in the jail early yesterday morning on charge of being absent without leave. tied his belt about his neck and trieo to hang himself from the bars of his cell
 Alarm was sounded by other prisoners and the stevedores and Warden Glover came to the rescue immediately. It was only after the greatest difficulty that Collins life was saved, however. His belt had been removed and drawn so tightly about his neck that breathing was practically stopped. and it was necessary to resort to the use of artificial res piration to restore him.
 A special cell was prepared and Col lins placed in it. It is stated that he was much depressed and it was feared that another attempt might be made. He was resting well last night and with the exception of severe choking he sus- tained very little injury through the att tempt.

The committee immediately got into communication with Forney Johnston, chairman of the Jefferson county commit tee of national defense. and Mir. John- ston's indorsement is as follows:
 If contributions to the Training School for Girls are invited in gov ernment securities issued since Sep tember, 1917, or if the net proceeds will be converted into such secur- ties of current issue. there is no req son for the suggestion that acampaign of this character should be regard ed as interfering with any war ac- tivities. Indeed, I am of the opinion that the work of the committee would, on the condition stated ma terially assist those having in charge the placing of war securities"

 "It was further determined that all subscriptions received in cash would be immediately converted into war securi- ties that there may be no division of funds from war purposes at this time,

navy and a hospital corps. there was left a
branch of service where a too thorough
physical examination was not required and
in which service I finally secured an APP

The press carried the story few weeks
