MAN SHOOTS SELF,
EATS TWICE, DIES

NEW YORK. May Herman
KIots. seventy-three years old, OF the
Bronx. walked downstairs to break
fast after he had fired a bullet into
his brain.
During breakfast he Chatted with
his pipe while he read the morning
paper. The bullet wound was covered
by a bandage which he had applied as
he stood before his mirror.
Il stumbled as l got out of bed,
he told his daughter. Il cut my fore
head a little, but it doesn't amount 10
anything"
Late in the morning he had a head
ache and his daughter sent for the
family physician.
Il suppose it's a touch Of heat,
klots told the doctor.
Luncheon was served a { noon. klots
ate with his usual appetite, then sat
down in his big chair in the living
room. About . o'clock he lost con-
seriousness for a moment. The doctor
was called again and this time he
removed the bandage. To his amaze
ment he saw a bullet wound. The
old man died at o'clock. 1t was
found that the bullet, % caliber, was
lodged in his brain.
The pistol Klots used was one that
had formerly belonged to his son,
Henry, who was fatally injured work
ing on a bomb in 1913. The son, an
hour before dying, confessed that he
had sent a bomb which killed two
women.

the trouble Is duo to discrimination that

said that the plants of the company at
Davis, W. Va, and Tyrone, Pa, are af-

those at Luke While the shut down at
Luke automatically affects the smaller

Appeals For The
Greater Wheeling

The sewerage problem for tho out-the-
pike territories. Is of the Same nature
It Is impossible to think that for many
years the sewerage from the o1t-the-
pike territory will be allowed to drain
into Wheeling Creek and through the
summer months continue to be menace
to the health of the community at largo
That problem can be solved only in one
Of three ways: by making Wheeling
Creek a closed sewer. by developing
storage reservoirs sufficient to flush
out the creek. or by building incfncrat-
ing plants to consume the sewerage.
1t is 4 community problem which can
only be solved through joint action Of
all the community interests. and it. it.
self. makes greater Wheeling necessary.
So. with every other activity Of the
city. am convinced thu" a better fire
service. 4 better police service. and .
better city government in evory particn-
lar. can be given for all our community
through one agency. than through seven
or eight different agencies"
Perhaps. I need net say I havo no
part in the city government Of Wheel
lng but I hope I am fair enough not to
let any personal feeling stand in tho
way OF what seems to me to be neceS-
sary for the development and the well
fare Of the community. We want joint
action of ali our citizenship in develop
ing our municipal policies. We want all
our taxpayers to be interested in the
welfar, Of the city. and we can only get
this condition by Incorporation into tho
CITY Of these suburbs that are really a
part Of Wheeling. and that are so de-
pendent upon it."
II hope to bo able to leave for Charles
ton by Sunday, and when I get there ]
hope to be able to forward the passage
Of the greater Wheeling bill.
