tory, Worcester, Mass.

WORCESTER. Mass. May 16.-Dr
Arthur Gordon Webster. internation-
ally known scientist and physicist
and member of the Clarke Uni-
versity faculty for more than thirty
years, committed suicide in the uni
versity laboratory yesterday. His
associates expressed the belief that
his act was prompted because he
believed his research work and ac-
complishments in physicics were not
appreciated by his contemporaries.
While his class of physicis awaited
him in an adjoining lecture room
Dr. Webster retired to his private
office and sent two shots into his
head with revolver which he had
purchased a few hours before. He
died an hour later.
Associates said the as n physics
referred to by DIR. Webster in a note
left for his son, Gordon, undoubted
ly was meant for the physics of
sound. on which subject DR.. Webster
was regarded as the leading author
ity in the United States.
The suicide evidently was careful
ly planned, for in speech he made
at the weekly meeting of the Clark
students body on Monday he con-
cluded his remarks with the state
ment: This is the last time 1 shall
address you from this platform-that
is, for long time"

ominous. Mile. Berthon, who is said
to he rabid anarchist, shot Platau
five times, each bullet taking eff
feet. She then turned the gun on
herself, inflieting painful but not
fatal injuries. IT is believed she
was connected with the attempted

aroused monarchist sympathizers
who today tried to wreck the plant

By United Press

ESSEN, Jan. % 3.-4The situation
grows more serious today with the
announcement by German mine own
ers that 100000 Ruhr miners are
striking as protest against French
occupation. Industrial leaders have
issued another proclamation calling
ON workers to refuse to deliver coal
to the French.
An increasing number of strikers
are reported from every district of
Germany because the French refuse
to hear their intercession for Fritz
Thyssen, popular son of the German
coal magnate, who is reported as
being seriously i'll on eve of trial.
Rumor has it that the trial has al
ready taken place and that he has
been sentenced to three months in
jail.
Ship workers, machinists and
siOkers on the Rhine river crlft
have all struck in protest against
having to work virtually under
bayOncts.
Cannot Pay
Germany has notified the allies
that it is ssdoubtful if she will be
able to pay any reparations on ac-
count of the economic chaos result
ing from the French occupation of
the Rullr district
A specific complaint has been
lodged against French and Belgian
members directing German officials
who collect customs and other rev
enue TO turn over the money to the
French army of occupation or the
allies generally.
On account of the Germans refus-
ing 20 work. the French have been
forced to take over the telephone
exchange system at Essen with the
result that communication is prac-
tically at standstill as unfamiliar
ity resulted in bad tangles and use

isfsction of the court that he was
not aware that the portion of the

against him. Cox had lease on

Hedgepath took possession.

Ever since he assumed the of
flee of internal revenue collector

to bring his department into closer
relation with the people, and this
is the main reason for his present

are many phases of the tax laws
that are not understood by the av-
erage citizens, and which seem to
him to be oppressive, Judge Good
cell has been seeking to clear up
any confusion that may exist in the
minds of the people on the necessity
of the various taxes.
