the manner in which Victor Jensen.

end his life on Saturday night about
1880 o'clock, but his efforts to COM
NIT suicide were unsuccessful, since
the bullet did not penetrate either
lung. He was Immediately removed
to the City Hospital and from all in
dications his condition is not very
serious.
Apparently there is no motive at
all why Jensen should desire to kill
himself since he was not respondent
and was In good health. According
to the story told to Patrolman Lud-
wigson by Peter Jensen, father of the
injured youth, his two sons had been
engaged in quarrel for quite some
time and could not seem to settle the

ment was taking place and after talk
ing and admonishing the boys, the
whole affair seemed amicabiy con-
cluded. Peter then bade the other
good night and went up to his room.
Shortly thereafter a shot rang out.
The father and other son dashed up
stairs and discovered Peter lying on
the Aoor with bullet wound in his
chest He gave no information what
ever as to the reason he wanted to

hospital.
1t is thought that he will recover
from the self inflicted wound in sew
eral days. but as yet no diagnosis has
been made of the case.

prevails regarding the settlement IA
vorable to France of the question OF
her security against future aggres-

of the Rhine. This is voiced today
by the Petit Journal which in treat

PARIS, April 7:-President Will
sons condition was improved this
morning, but by the direction of Rear
Admiral Grayson the President will
remain in his room today, attending
no meeting.
Apparently the Presidents cold Is
in the last stages of the wearing off
process. He hopes to be able to re-
sumo work on Tuesday.
So rapidly has the peace deadlock
been broken that President Wilson has
cabled the Navy Department in Wash
ington, ordering that the liner George
Washington, on which he has made
Ihis European voyages, be made ready
Immediately for another trip, and ask
ing how soon the big vessel may be ex-
pected to arrive at a French port.
This, coupled with Premier Lloyd
Georges positive assertion that peace
will be declared by Easter is taken in
official circles as proof that all main
difficulties have been ironed out and
that only minor details remain to be
worked out.
