BRIDGEPORT, Oct. 12.-With n white
carnation in one hand and his fathers

mond Bradley, 16 high school sopho-
more and son of Mr.. and Mrs. Neil
Bradley of $50 Seaview avenue, walked
out the back door of his home early
to-day while his parents were asleep
and committed suicide by shooting
himself through the right temple.
The flower was one of bouquet
which he had ordered sent to his
mother yesterday. The medical ex-
aminer found that the suicide was de-

by overstudy and perhaps boyhood
love affair, one sentence in letter
left by the boy saying
II loved my love exceedingly, but
she didn't love me-"
In an upstairs room before he took
his life young Bradley had laid out his
burial wardrobe carefully on the bed

law. NJ. Rio, Minister of Merchant
Marine. is preparing the data on the
subject for Premier Poincare. The
latter may take up the matter with
Washington should the French owned
ships be seized. M. Rio has asked the
opinions of French experts on inter-
national law.
French Line officials are absolutely
appalled, at the Washington reports
that their ships are liable to seizure
as common smugglers. They declare
that, outside the financial loss, which
would be irremediable, there is the
question of personal privilege and lib
erty, on which they would be unwilling
to yield.
The financial loss to the French Line
would be hundreds of thousands OF
francs monthly. On one trip in August
with 1,011 passengers aboard the
steamship Paris sold 1850 bottles OF
champagne, 252 bottles of fine Bur-
gundy and Bordeaux wines and 81
bottles of liquor. Besides this there
was the ordinary red and white wine
which was allotted to each passenger
with the noon and evening meals.

PARIS, Oct. IL (Associated Press).-
Liquor as usual" up to the three
mile limit, was the decision which the
directors OF the French Line reached
to-day. "Then seal up the bars and
let international law take it's course" /"
But should an appeal t6the Supreme
Court against the ruling forbidding
the carrying of liquor by foreign owned
liners within territorial waters of the
United States be adversely decided the
line will then appeal to the Interna-
tional Court of Justice at The Hague.
The British lines are understood to
be in perfect harmony with the French
company in this matter. The first test
case is likely to arise when the White
Star liner Majestic, which is scheduled
to sail from Cherbourg October 18,
