SWIRLED TO SELF-SGUCHT DEATH
"I Have Been Good, Thrnk Cod!" She
Write In Her Farewell Note the
Suicide Eegs Her Parents to For
give Her for Disgracing Them.
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Feb. 10 Beat
rice K. Snyder, a pretty girl of twenty-five,
broken-hearted because of the
recent death of Edward Riley, of Buf
falo, to whom she was to have been
married lu the Spring, committed sui
cide by wading Into the river Just
above Prospect Point and going over
the American Falls. As she was
swept over the brink she raised her
arms and Bhoulders from the water,
waved her hand and smiled farewell
to her would-be rescuers.
Riley died three weeks ago, and
Miss Snyder had brooded ever since.
She had often told her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John Snyder, of No. 87 Ben
nett street, Buffalo, that she wished
she, too, were dead. But at noon,
when she went home for luncheon
from a tea store In Buffalo where she
was employed, she appeared more
cheerful than usual.
She did not return to the store, but
took a trolley for this place Instead.
About 3 o'clock p. ra., Park Policeman
John Spalding, and Milton A. Parker,
of White Haven, Pa., who were talk
ing on the river bank, saw her enter
the water. They rushed to Intercept
her, but she was already In the grip
of the current. She turned and smiled
at them, and In an Instant was whisk
ed off her feet, and over the falls.
There Is little hope that the body will
ever be recovered.
In the girl's hand-bag. dropped on
the bank, was found tho following
note:
"Mamma and Papa May you both
forgive me for bringing this awful dis
grace upon you In these years of your
life. Also, may our Heavenly Father
forgive all my sins. But I have been
very good, thank God. You will find
a slip for the money under your dress
er scarf. With my heart full of love
for all your tender kindness, good-by,
Lovingly, BEATRICE."
Miss Snyder's Identity was learned
through a communicant enrd showing
that she had been a member of the
North Presbyterian Church, of Buf
falo, since 1901. She was an active
church and Sunday school worker.

OUR BEEF SOLD IN LONDON
CHEAPER THAN fJ HOME
In Spite cf Added Shipping Cos!
Choice Cuts Drlng In Wect End
8 to 11 Cento a Pound Leso.
London, Feb. 10. Butchers In the
West End here do a larce buKlnuss hi
American beef. But they sell It as
"prime Scotch" and at four cents 8
pojnd more than the best English.
The. American beef so sold la
slaughtered at Liverpool, and la
known as "Liverpool-killed."
One of tho bent-known West End
Arms has given the prices ho charges
his richest customern here for Ameri
can "prime Scotch" beef. Ills prices
are: Sirloin, 24 cents n pound; shoul
der or mlddlo rib, 18 cents n pound;
flanks or neck, II or 12 cents a pound.
Many grades of American beef nro
known In London aa "ranch" beef.
The cheapest range In price from 9
cents a pound for sirloin to five cents
a pound for flnnks.
N. Y. Prices Compared with London
Prices for American Deef.
New York, N. Y., Feb. 10. It Is In
teresting to rompsre tho prices in
London with those that New Yorkers
were being forced to pay yesterday.
The West End of London corre
sponds with tho Fifth avenue or fash
ionable quarter. In that district yes
terday porterhouse steak was 35 cents
a pound, sirloin 32 cents a pound
8 to 11 cents more per pound than tho
same beef was selling for In London
after all the co3ts and churges of car
rying it 3,000 miles acros3 the ocean.
They don't use shoulder or middle
rib much up Fifth avenue. Only the
first six ribs go Into the fashionable
quarters. And they were celling there
yesterday at 22 and 25 cents a pound.
But in the middle class districts
such as the upper Broadway, porter
house steak was fetching 28 cents n
pound and sirloin 25 cents a pound.
Shoulder or middle rib was only 14 and
15 cents a pound and flank or neck 10
cents a pound.
Consequently It will bo seen that
the middle class In New York were
paying 1 to 3 cents a pound more for
their beef than tho lords and dukes
of Loudon.
MAYOR GAYNOR A SINGLE TAXER
Hla Proposal Modification of Theories
of Henry George.
New York, N. Y., Feb. 10. Mayor
Gaynor suggested to tho Tax Depart
ment that the present plan of levying
taxes on personal property in New
York city be abolished and that a
single tax system be adopted whereby
practically all the city's revenue would
be derived from assessments on real
estate.
His proposal Is a slight modifica
tion of the Henry George single tax
theory. It would eliminate from the
tax book all assessments now levied
on estates, resident and non-resident
personal property and resident and
non-resident corporations.

Lefjlslatlcn In ti e Assembly Ecglns
In the Sonata at Albany.
Albany, N. Y.. Feb. 10. Replete
with nil the appurtenances and thrills
of a well-staged melodrama, the State
Stnnto Fat for lhe hours as a com
mittee of the whole and began an in
vestigation of the charge made by
Senator Benn Cor.gcr that ho had wit
netted the payment of a brlbo of $1,
000 to Senate Leader Jotham P. Allds.
When the Senate adjourned there
h.id been unravelled before the forty
r.lue Senators occupying seats, and
the spectators overcrowding the onyx
chamber to suffocation, a circumstan
tial talo of tho alleged corrupt'on of
the Senate leader that was both di
rect, positive and appjrantly support
ed by conclusive details.
Conger flanked by a formidable ar
ray of brilliant counsel, produced one
of his own employees and business as
sociates, who testl.'ied ihat he had per
sonally paid the bribe money to Sena
tor Allds on April 23, 1901. Counsel
fcr Conger further produced checks
and drafts drawn by Conger's brother,
now dead, In settlement of the transac
tion. Hiram G. Moe, a sleek, gray-haired
man of fifty-nine, declared under oath
that in addition to giving an envelope
containing $1,000 to Alkla, he had giv
en two other envelopes to memberB of
of the Legislature on the same day.
In one of these onvelopese, he alleged,
was $-1,000, In the other $1,000 in cur
rency. Counsel for Allds also agreed to
t'.ie process of "bottling up" the Iden
tity of the ntacr men concerned in the
alleged bribery transaction, and the
attitude of the Senators in general
was that the investigation should be
restricted solely to the case of Allds.
Both these other men are der.d.
The featuro of the day, however,
was the simple yet stirring and drama
tic summing up of Conger's case by
James W. Osborne. Tracing in detail
the history of tho Stevens and Malby
bills regarding tho repair of bridges,
ho painted a picture of the subtle,
skilful, crlmincl manipulation of the
legislative mill, the sole purpose of
which was to extract money from the
bridge Interests.
TRUST BREAKO TAFT'S RULE.
Watch Case Concern Thcatena to Boy
cott Independent Ritnllera.
Washington, Feb. 7. The publica
tion of a circular said to be issued by
the Watch Case Trust to the retailers
with whom it deals, threatening them
with boycott unless they conform ex
actly to directions of the trust in re
gard to retailing the watches furnish
?d them by the factories, has again
called attention in an emphatic man
ner to what is here considered the
extraoidinary blindness of the large
corporations to the serious Intention
of the Administration in their regard.
That purpose is set forth clearly in
tho President's special message on
anti-trust laws, and It means nothing
less than the cartful tracking down
of corporations not found within tho
terms of the Sherman act.
HALLEY'S COMET IS DEADLY.

Boston, Muss., Feb. 9. Although

$240,000 COURT VERDICT
JUMN5TJHI0N HATTERS
Court Trebles Damages In the Dan
bury Boycott Case, Seven
Years on Trial.
Hartford, Ccr.n., Feb. 10. "A new
declaration of Independence" Is what
Daniel Davenport, of counsel for the
plaintiffs, calls the verdict of $220,000
rendered in tho United States Court
by the Jury In tho eeve:i-yearold suit
of 1). K. Loewe &. Co., of Danbury,
against two hundred members of the
hatters' union of this state. After
lc:.ig out a little more than two hours
the Jury ordered actual damages of
$74.0iiO to the plaintiff, but as the
suit was brought under the Sherman
anil-trust law, the damages are auto
matically tripled.
There was a remarkable scene In
the courtroom, when the verdict was
r.r.r.o-.'iiccd. Tho defendants In attend
ance were stunned, and groups de
jcclcc'.'.y discussed tho significance of
the blow.
A conference with the court follow
ed, at which It was decided to give the
pttoineys for the defence a healing on
M;rch 7. when a motion to set aside
Hit verdict ns excessive will be ar
gued. The assessment of cost and the
fco3 of tho counsel will also be deter
mined. It Is estimated that tho costs will
atrount to at least $10,000, and these,
with counsel fees, may bring the bill
ngilnnt the United Halters of North
An erica to fully a quarter of a mil
lion dollars.
Asked regarding the moral signi
ficance of the verdict, which is the
most important of its kind ever rend
ered in this country, Mr. Davenport
said:
"First, It means that Individual
ir.CH'.bers of labor unions arc bound
hy the actions of their officers, and
tl.cy cannot allow them to do ns they
!'lese. Secondly, It means that the
Sherman 'anti-trust law protects manu
facturers and merchants from boy
cott attacks. In substance, It Is a new
dec laration of Independence."
The plaintiff, L). K. Loewe, was sur
rounded by his friends In the court
icy:.! and congratulated upon the out
come of tho caso. He said that had
he not won the suit he would have
had to go out of business.
Tho Judge In his chago practically
instructed the Jury to bring In n ver
dict for tho plaintiff.
The suit, which was for $240,000
drtiv:5cs, has been on trial for eleven
weeks. It was Instituted by the Anti
Boycott Society through Loewe, but
it ii understood the damages award
ed are to go to tho Danbury hat mak
ers. Tho expense of defending the
suit is being met by the United Hat
ters of North America, who filed a
bond to cover tho amount of the at
tachment of the property of tho de
fendants. In the course of tho trial evidence
was produced by the hatting firm to
show that the boycott against its
goods was maintained all over the
country.
