APANEsE,, ILL,
FIRES A BULLET
INTO OWN BRAIN
Tim Abe, Employed as Cook
at 1t5 South Cedar Street.,
Ends His Life; III Health
Assigned as Cause.

Tim Abe, aged 80, Japanese cook
employed by Mrs. f. c. Malmberg, Us
South Cedar street committed suicide
last night about 10 O'Clock by shooting
himself Just below and slightly back
of the left ear A 32-Caliber automa-
tic pistol was the weapon used. Death
is supposed to have occurred instantly.
For many years Abe had suffered
form asthma and tuberculosis. During
the last few days his suffering had
been more acute than usual. The con-
dition Of his health is believed to have
caused him TO take his own life.
Abe had often spoken of his physical
condition, Mrs Malmberg said last
night and threatened to commit sui
eide. She tried to persuade him, she
said. that this would be the wrong
course to pursue. He finally told her
he had changed his mind as to take
his own life while in her employ would
not be the proper thing to do after
she had treated him so kindly.
Yesterday, however, he had SUI
ferod more than usual. Abe's bed was
located on u sleeping porch, just off
the kintchen, and he started 10 retire
about / 0 O'Clock. Mrs Malmberg heard
him pull grip from under his bed
and called to him asking if there was
anything she could do for him. There
was no answer except that a moment
later a shot rang out, which suhSe-
quent investigation showed had miss
ed its mark entirely. This shot was
followed an ms. ar: later by another.
Mrs. Malmberg said she heard groan,
then all was silent. She Immediately
notified the police.
When the police arrived they found
the body of Abe lying on the porch
floor with a bullet wound back of his
left ear The pistol from which the
shot had laen fired was still eripped
tightly in the left hand. Fred Crollott
was called and removed the body to
his undertaking establishment.
Abe had been in the employ of the
Malmberg family for five months, and
prior to that time had worked in Nari-
Gus Albuquerque restaurants. He left
Japan when he was about 1G years
old. He is survived by a father and
some brothers and sisters, all of whom
live in Japan.

.GE RNAN ARMY IS

Coblen2, Jan. - tby The Associated
Press According TO estimates made
by intelligence officers of the Ameri-
can third army based upon reports
from all parts Of Germany, the or
ganized German army now located in
various depOts numbers from 100000
to 500, 600 men. The reports indicate
that these soldiers are of such morale
that they hardly will be available for
operations of any extent. The num-
Der of men in the army reports reach
ing Cob!enz suggest, il decreasing
rapidly.
The new volunteer army numbers
Latween 100000 and 100000 men of
doubtful morale, as they have not yet
been organized fully nor tested fairly,
The volunteer army which is being or

Many volunteer battalions ghso are re-

The organized German army con-
sists of the classes of 1898 and 1899,
less some men discharged because
they live in occupied territory, less
large numbers of deSerters and less
some men discharged according to
disqualification plans. The officers and
commissioned officers of this
army are men who intend to remain
permanently in the service.
Evidence is said TO be conclusive
that the troops in the depots have
assumed the attitude OF drawing their
pay and doing as little rs possible un

Smith Of Arizona Tries to Get
Protection for Growers Of
Egyptian Cotton Statesmen
Differ on Methods.
tsr MORNING. 1ousn,t SPECIAL Ls.srr w,Nsl

Washington, Jan. 29.-Prolonged
discussion of amendments and of the
Hitchcock substitute prevented the
senate today from reaching a final
vote on the military committees bill
TO validate and permit the settlement
of informal war contracts aggregatine
50, 1850, 900 900. In moving a recess
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon in
charge fthe measure annouced that
he would endeavor TO keep the senate
in session tomorrow until the legisla-
ton had been enacted.
During consideration of the bill to-
day the senate tentatively adopted an
amendment by Senator Henderson of
Nevada, authorizing the secretary of
the interior to adjust claims growing
out of the stimulation by the govern
ment o fthe production of minerals
needed in the prosecution of the war
Another amendment by Senator Me-
Kellar of Tennessee, requiring the war
department to furnish congress the
names of the contractors whose claims
were adjusted and the amounts in
volved, was adopted, Al to II.
Protective Measure Rejected.
The senate rejected, AZ to 10, an
amendment by Senator Smith of Ari-
IONA which would have prohibited the
importation of Egyptian long staple
cotton for six months after the bill be-
came a law senator smith said the
purpose was to protect American
growers of this grade of cotton who
had increased their acreage during the
war at the request of the government.
Under the Hitchcock substitute,
claims growing out of the cancellation
of war contracts would be adjusted
by commission composed of a repre-
sentative of the war department. the
department of justice and the business
interests of the country. In urging its
adoption today Senator Hitchcock said
he thought the adjustments should be
made by disinterested parties and de-
clared that the committee bill would
authorize the secretary of war to vail
date contracts made even the day be-
fore the armistice was signed and up
on which not dollar had been
spent.
Senator Chamberlain denied that
the measure would permit of such a
procedure and declared that if a sec
rotary of war or any of his subordin-
ates did such a thing, they should be
impeached.
