PHILADELPHIA. July 22.-Jay Young
blood Of New York. a member of wide
ly known firm of flour dealers. killed
himself to-day in a jump from the win
dow of his room on the fourth floor OF
the Vendig Hotel. Illness and worry
over recent losses suffered by the firm
of which his father. A. p Youngblood,
is head are thought to have been his
reasons for committing suicide. Young
blood was 40 and bachelor He lived
with his father at COL West 191st street,
New York city.
Soon after 8 o'clock the man was
seen climbing. fully dressed. from a
window on the west side OF the building
at Thirteenth and Filhert streets. Sew
eral persons on the sidewalk mistook
him for window cleaner as he sat for
q few minutes on the stone window
ledge. Then he raised himself to an up
right position. holding on to the SASH
and turned his back to the wall He
held his right hand to his nose and stuck
the left out in front of him in a cropping
attitude and stepped off. The body
struck the cornice outside the hotel
telephone exchange on the second floor.
He died fifteen minutes later.
Youngblood came to this city Wednes-
day to seek financial support for new
enterprises to be tried by the firm, ac-
cording to Harvey c. Miller, president
of the Southern Steamship Company.
He called at Miller's Office and was
assured he would be able to raise the
money he sought.
The firm recently dropped 100000 in
-four deals, it is said. Several thou
sand barrels were refused by Cuban
buyers who had contracted for them.
Another lot became bad in storage in
New Orleans warehouses and had to
be sold as feed. The firm built plant
on Staten Island at great cost and
the wharfage upon which they depended
was condemned by the city just as the
building was completed.
Youngblood had a nervous breakdown
after these business mishaps and spent
several months in a sanitarium. Mr..
Miller said to-day that Youngblood was
in good spirits when he came to see him
yesterday and had received better
news than he could possibly have hoped
for" Only SIS was found in Young
bloods room.

GOV. SMALL STILL
FREE FROM ARREST
Judge Holds Case Of Illinois
Executive in Statu Quo
Until Tuesday.

| Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
| SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, July 22.--Gov. Small
is immune from arrest on the embezzle-
ment and conspiracy indictments re-
turned against him. at least until next
Tuesday morning. Judge z. S. Smith
to-day decided to hold the matter in
stau quo until that time
Meantime the Governor is at liberty to
go into court and surrender as did
Lieut.-Gov. Sterling and Verne Curtis.
II he wishes, but on advice of his counsel
the Governor will not surrender
That the law will be allowed to take
It's usual course. which means that
Sheriff Mester will be expected to serve
warrants on Small. was apparent from
intimations given by Judge Smith fol-
lowing three hours of argument
Broad hints were given that the Gov
ernor would call upon the militia of the
State TO protect him should the Sheriff
attempt to take him into custody. No
attempts to arrest Small can be made
before next week as a result of the
Judges action.
Addressing former Gov. Joseph W..
Fffer. James M. Graham and George b..
Gillespie of the Governors counsel Judge
Smith said:
The court appreciates the kindness
OF the gentlemen who have come in here
as friends of the court. and the court
has been delighted and enlightened by
their arguments and presentation Of
questions.
The constitution provides wisely that
Senators and Representatives cannot be
arrested during a session. The purpose
and reason OF that is very evident
There might be some important ques-
ton pending before the Legislature, the
vote might be close and some one not
very scrupulous might conceive that the
best way to defeat it would be to arrest
and hold members until the matter had
been disposed Of We have heard of
these things In politics.
The contention made here, IL 1t pre-
walls, would mean that the Governor
can. during his term of office, commit
whatever crime he pleases and would be
answerable to nobody until he gets out
of office. II would mean that for four
years the Governor could commit any
violation Of law. / am not saying the
Governor would do il, but that Is the
result of the argument
Suppose the Governor should be
reelected? He would be exempt for eight
years"
Attorney Graham interrupted and
said: Don't you see that by his re-
election the whole people would have
passed upon his case?"
But this Is a question for the judi
ciary to pass upon" Judge Smith re-
Piled
The Governors counsel left the court
room Immediately after Judge Smiths
statement and Lieut.-Gov. Sterling. who
had sat through the entire argument,
advanced to the bench and shook hands
with the Judge, who, in fixing the Lieu
tenant-Governor's bond. reduced 1t from
