 OF LOWELL RESIDENT
Had Written Letter to Sis ter Saying He Was About
 to Kill Himself

Providence, R. l., Sept. IS P}- 1 The man whose body was discovered in the water off Block Island last Friday, believed to have been a vic tim of foul play, has been positively i Identified as Eugene T. Shaw, 70, Of Lowell, Mass, who before embark ing on the steamer Boston from

 Announcement of the idontifica- ton was made here last night by John F.. DeAvilla, special investi- gator for the attorney general of Rhode Island, who also divulged that he had learned that Shaw was seen to leap from the top deck of the steamer Boston when three mAes west of Point Judith at 12:17 on the morning of August 3.
 The passenger who saw the man leap notified the captain of the ves- sel, which was brought 10 a stop. The New York. another steamer of the same line, bound in the oppo- site direction. reached the scene soon afterward, and both vessels played their scarchlights on the water for about three-quarters of an hour, hut without success, where upon they resumed their ways.
 Officials of the Eastern Steamship Company notified the family of Shaw at once, and also informed the Boston police, who likewise no- tified the family. No public intima- ton of Shaw's fate was given at the time, however and a Lowell attorney Charles M. Mcintyre, informed newspapers in that city that Mr. Shaw died in New York.
 Positive identification Of Shaw was effected today by Mir.

The skull marks which led authorities at first 10 believe that he might have been q victim of foul play are now supposed to have been incurred when his head struck the side of the ship as he leaped, or else when the propeller knocked against his skull as 'ho vessel pass ed by him.

FRENCH TAXES MAY
 END U. s. TRADE
Rates on American Imports
 Often Exceed Selling Prices
BUSINESS MEN FEAR RUIN
Foreign office Makes No Reply To American Embassy Requesting Suspension of New Imposts and Negotiation of Treaty

1 Paris Sept. 13 P-Importers Of American goods coming under the new French tariffs are expressing dismay as specific information on the new rates becomes known and the American embassy is receiving
 'S o S." calls from both French and American firms in all commercial centers of France.
 These business men declare that lines of trade built up with the idea of permanence will be destroyed un- less they can have imm ediate re- lief and the tenor of their repre- sentations is that orders already taken for early deliveries of Ameri- can goods cannot now be filled un- less the importers ruin themselves as the new duties sometimes exceed the selling price itself.
 One house whose selling price on asbestos brake Things is 36 francs a kilogram must now pay 4S francs .. lIlOsram instead of 5.SS francs, minimum duties exceed the old maximum ones. Plumbing fixtures. for example which formerly were l5o francs hundred kilograms are now 700, while the new minimum on American plumbing fixtures is 175 francs.
 Auto Accessories High
 Refrigerating apparatus, former ly from 153 to 255 hundred kilo- grams is now 3SO to 700. Sugar, brewing and distlling machinery which formerly were 1oS to 396 francs a hundred kilograms are now TAO to 11S0. One of the extreme instances is magnetos and auto- lighting apparatus which formerly were 7.35 francs to S.S5 francs a kilogram and now are from ca to IA francs, or from to 16 times as much. Such an increase. many business men say, make sales i'm possible.

STATE WON'T SEND
 ACCUSED TO|TALY
Gauteri Given Freedom Instead
 Of Foreign Prison
TRIAL THOUGHT UNFAIR
Release Is Outcome of EXtradition Proceedings, Prisoners Native Land Demanding Deportation For Murder.

Hartford. Sept t3 Gp - United States Commissioner Charles J. Mo Laughlin, acting as eXtradition com missioner, has ordered discharged from custody, Giuseppe Gauteri. of Torrington. who had been held at the Hartford county jail pending the outcome of eXtradition proceedings, the Italian government having sought his return to Italy to serve q term of T years for murder The crime for which the Italian government sought the extradition Of Gauteri, was alleged to have been committed at Calitri, in the provinve of Ayellino, Italy, January 21, 1912. He was tried in Absentia and sen- tenced, the judgment of conviction having been entered April l5, 1912. The sentence carried with it a fine which would have gone to the fam fly ot the deceased.
 HcarSay Evidence Found
 In his memorandum of finding, submitted to Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, Commissioner Mo Laughlin pointed out discrepancies
 in the official Italian record as to the admission of hearsay evidence. personal conclusions and unsworn witnesses and discrepancies in dates, on which the judgment of the Ital- ian government was rendered. The evidence was admitted over objec- tions by the accused counsel, Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford and Thomas J. Ryan of Litchteld, the commis- sioner deciding it was not within his province to measure their admissibil- ity in accordance with the rules of American criminal jurisprudence, the admissibility of the evidence having been passed on by the courts of Italy.
 The commissioner notes that the treaty omits manslaughter or any lesser degree of homicide, while the rcquisition and complaint charged the crime of murder. The commis- sioner cites the evidential facts to show that the accused, Gauteri, and the deceased, Pasquale Caposela, with two others engaged in drunk on brawl during which the deceased first struck the accused in the chest with a stone and later was himself struck down by blow by the ac- cused, Gauteri.
 The commissioner finds the facts proven by the documentary evidence despite any irregularities but fails to find any clement of murder as must necessarily exist in order to ind probable cause for an indictment under the laws of the state Of Con- necticut. The commissioner, failing 10 find that murder was committed, the release of the accused.
 The hearing before the commis- sioner was on September and 2. in the federal court room at Hart ford.
