Gunder Olson Fosveit, a native o1 Norway. aged about fifty years, su- cided yesterdayby severing his jugular vein with a pen knife in a room in the Elite Bath House. Mrs. Fosveit, wife of the deceased, was mortified wit ness of her husbands rash act but was unable to prevent it's consuma tion. The couple arrived in town from Dexter Hill where the deceased has been engaged in prospecting during the earlier periods of the winter, and were intending to leave again Sunday morning, but were prevented by the severe blizzard which blew up yes- terday forenoon
 According to statements of the hotel attendants, Mir. and Mrs. Fosveit started out for Dexter during the fore noon, but found it impossible to travel a short distance out of town. They returned to the hotel and had been in their room but short time when Eos veit, who was apparently in a very de- spondent state of mind, suddenly drew the pen knife from his pocket, and proceeded to open the jugular vein in his throat, standing in front of a mirror to better accomplish the grisly task. After vainly trying to check her husband, Mrs. Fosveit rushed scream ing into the hallway Several parties heard her cries and responded quick ly but to late to stop the unfortunate man. When they arrived he had sel- cred the artery in his throat and was lying in a rapidly widening pool of blood. pr. Chace was hastily sum- moned but could dc nothing, as +he injured man was beyol aid. While attempting to stop her husband, Mra. Tosveit tried to seize The knife ard sustained a severe cut in one hanl The body was removed to the under taking parlors. An inquest will be held at 4 30 this afternoon.
 Fosveit is said to have been in the country for the past four or five years and has been engaged in mining in various sections. Until recently he was prospecting on the Mattie claim near the head of Nilkkala Gulch.

MISS BROCK HANGED
 SELF WHILE INSANE
Plainville Nurse, Unbalanced By Hor- TOTS of War, Ends Life At
 Washington Hospital

Washington, D. C., Dec. 5.-The finding of the body of Miss Monica Brock, of Plainville, Conn, suspend ed from the limb of a tree in the rear of St. Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane here solved the mystery of her disappearance from that institution last Wednesday. The coroner gave a certificate of suicide.
 Miss Brock, who was 33 years old, had served in France as an army nurse and treated many soldiers wounded in the battle of Chateau Thierry. Her reason was impaired, the physician drought, as a result of the strain incident to long hours without rest devoted to nursing the wounded back to health. During the several weeks she was at St. Eliza beth's she constantly talked of the suffering boys, saying she could not nurse them all.
 She spent about 12 months in France and was regarded as an ex cellent hospital worker. Because of her desire to be constantly on duty with the wounded her health and mind broke down. She was one of 15 nurses brought from France for mental treatment. She told of hav ing a brother in France with the army.
 A rigid search made since her dis appearance last Wednesday (Nov. 2O failed to solve the mystery until her body was found hanging from a limb of a pine tree in the rear of the hos pital. She had climbed about 20 feet from the ground before fastening a cord rope about her neck and hang ing herself. Her body has been taken to Plainville where her mother and several sisters live.

Proposals Are Recommended

The conditions, without precedent or parallel, which the war has pro- duced now press upon congress mat ters of the gravest national and inter- natl onal concern.
 While we do not deem the present conditions and moment opportune in which to recommend concrete propos- als for legislatiof, we may indicate certain lines of inquiry which must be pursued in order to reach sound con- clusions.
 Whatever line of policy is deter mined upon, the fundamental aim or purpose should be to secure transpor tation systems that will be adequate for the nations needs even in time of national stress or peril and that will furnish to the public safe, ade- uuate and efficient transportation at the lowest cost consistent with that service To this end there should be provision for CD the prompt merger without friction of all the carriers lines. facilities and organizations into a continental and unified system in time of stress or emergency; CD meT' ger within proper limits of the car riers' lines and facilities in such part and to such extent as may be neces- sarv in the general public interest to meet the reasonable demands of our domestic and foreign comm cree; (3) limitation of railway construction to the necessities and convenience of the government and of the public and as. surfing construction to the point of these limitations; and (4 develop ment and encouragement of inlahd I
 
 and water transportation systems.
 Several Possible Solutions.
 Among the plans which doubtless will be proposed are the following G) Continuance of the present plan or federal control; CD public ownership of carrier property with private oper. ation under regulation; (3) priva1o c operation under regulation with gov ernmental guarantees; (4 resumption of private control and managem en! under regulation; and (5) public ownership and operation. Additional plans and notifications or mbina - tions of those enumerated might be listed.

HIGH SCHOOL CLOSED.
Heating Apparatus Out of Order and
 Pupils Shiver Till Sent Home.

The heating apparatus in both buildings of the High school was out of order this morning and because of the excessively cold condition of the class rooms, all classes were dis missed soon after the time for the opening of the morning session. Be- cause of the sudden cold snap, the janitors of the two buildings have been unable to get the heating appar- atus into working order in time to get up the heat. During the cold months of last year it was necessary to dis miss classes on an average of once a week, and it seems that similar action will be necessary this year.
