of the French republic from 1906

achievements.
Fallieres was graduated from
Toulouse. He started practicing
law at Nerac, and was elected mayor
in 1872. From the moment he
entered politics until he retired, his
career was one of phenomenal
progress.

mo One to Blame Except
Myself Says Obituary
Left by Artist.
ByUnited Press

NEW YORK, May 21.-The cyni-
cal Broadway which accepted a
youthful Kansas City boy as tai
ented caricaturist and cartoonist
nearly a score of years ago lived
up today to the predictions of
Ralph Barton in his obituary, and
had many hypothesis to explain his
suicide.
Every one who knows me and
hears of this" Barton wrote just
before he placed .25-caliber au-
tomato pistol to his temple and
ended his life, twill have a differ
ent hypothesis to offer to explain
why did it. Practically all the
hypothesis will be dramatic, and
completely wrong"
He said that no one thing and
no person, except myself were
responsible for his suicide.
."If gossip insists upon something
more definite and thrilling as a
reason, let them choose my pending
appointment with my dentist, or the
fact that I happened to be pain
fully short of cash at the moment"
Devoted to Heiress
But, as. he predicted, his many
friends brushed aside the reasons
he offered for his suicide and prob
ably the most prevalent rumor to-
day was that Barton shot himself
in his midtown penthouse because
he had failed to win the love of
Ruth Kresge, daughter of Sebastian
S. Kresge of Detroit, millionaire
chain store owner.
Although Barton did not mention
Miss KreSge in his "obit," his broth
err, Homer Barton, an actor, said
that he was aware of Ralph's de-
votion to the Detroit heiresS.
Miss KreSge sailed aboard the
Europa tuesday for Europe, &C
companied by her sister, Katherine,
and her childhood sweetheart,
Rufus Clark CaulkinS of Detroit,
who Is said to be member of the
diplomatic corps at Riga. It was
reported Miss Kresge and Caulkins
were to be married abroad.
Engagement Broken
Friends said the heiress and the
cartoonist had been engaged to
marry, but that Miss Kresge broke
the engagement after a quarrel.
Mrs. Anna KreSge, the girls
mother, said her daughter never
had been in love with Barton, and
had not been engaged to him.
Another suicide theory was that
Barton still loved Carlotta Mon
terey, who divorced him five years
ago and later became the third
wife of Eugene O'Neill, the play
wright.
Barton himself wrote in his obit-
uary that he definitely had "lost
the only woman 1 ever loved" and
said that she was the one person
who could have saved him, had I
been savable."
Still others attributed his death
to an unsuccessful quest for happi-
ness in marriage. Barton had been
InarTleo ana divorced four times.
Tried Before to Die
Barton wrote that he suffered
definite symptoms of insanity"
which made it impossible to enjoy
the simple pleasures of life, and
that he had run from wife to wife,
from house to house, and from
country to country, in a ridiculous
effort to escape from myself"
Harold w. Ross, editor of the
New Yorker. revealed Barton had
attempted to end his life eight
months ago by taking poison. Bar
ton was found near death in his
apartment by friends, who sum-
moned physicians and saved his
life.
He bought the pistol with which
he took his life in Charlotte, N. c.,
six months ago, Ross said, and often
had talked of using it for suicide
