SUICIDE BANK TELLER'S
MOTIVE UNREVEALED
BY SCRUTINY OF BOOKS
Officers of Manayunk National
Report NewclFs Accounts
Without Flaw of
Any Kind
GRIEVED FOR FRIEND
OfTlcfrra of the Jlnnayunk Natlonnl Hank
announced today an examination of tho
books of, the Institution failed to dlaclotn)
any renaon for the sulcldo of Samuel
Newell, the receiving teller, who was
found dead In tho bnaement of the bank
last Saturday.
Tho examination of the booKet i made
this morning after tho bank vault com
bination lock permitted Its opening. Fol
lowing the oponliiR of the vault and tho
examination of the boOka a meeting of
tho board of directors waa held At the
tloao of the meeting a atatcment was Is
ailed hv Hdwnrd II. Preaton. president of
tho institution, that neither the examina
tion of the books nor the counting of tho
ensh on hand dlecloecd any reason for the
teller's action. Edward II. Morris, an
other director, conrlimcd thla atatcment.
The only suggested motive for New ell's
action that hiiB received any credence
is thut he was deranged by grief for
tho death of his friend, Samuel Kennedy,
who died about n year ago, Harry Wler,
who conducts n jewidiy shop on Loverlng
street jbove Slain, Manayunk, and who
hns ridden on the train fiom West Phila
delphia for several years with Newell,
stated today that it was Nowell's cus
tom when the train pasted Westminster
Cemetery, where Kennedy was burled, to
remark that hla beat friend lay burled
there. AVIcr nlo said that It was the
custom of tho dead teller to visit the
cemetery twice weekly and plnce llowors
on his friend's grave.
The coroner's Jury brought In a erdlct
of suicide while temporarily deranged at
an Inquest Into Nef('ll's death held today.
A sworn atatement from Robert C. New
ell, a brother of the dead teller, told of
his attachment for hla dead friend and
khla grief. Newell; according to his brothor,
carried a picture of Kennedy with htm at
nlf times.
Newall was 49 years old and lived at
6o2l Addison street. Although bank offi
cials do not doubt that he committed sui
cide, they liavo been unablo to explain his
act. He left a farewell letter to his
mother In which he mentioned certain re
quests In regard to his funeral. The con
tents nf tho letter were not made public,
but It was ;nld to contain no mention of
a motive of suicide.
All rumora of speculation on the atock
market by the dead lecelvlng teller were
denied bv hla frlenda jcaterday. Tney
sa'd he Uvea quietly and had never been
extravagant.' He supported, they said,
both hla mother and father, but was able
to do so on tho salary he received from
the bank.
The shock of the news was severe
to Newell'a family. Mrs. Newell, his
rmitber, has been In 111 health for some
time.

LIFE ALL BEER AND SKITTLES
ON MAGISTRATES' MERRY TRIP
High Jinx and Everything on Good Ship President
When It Carries Roisterers to Fenton Beach.
"What'll You Have?" the Slogan
The fellow who once wrote th.it music
nnd beer didn't mix evidently never had
been on a rural Magistrate's excursion.
Although there's a tired feeling today
among many who sailed to Fenton
Ilench ns the guests of "Judgo" C.
Hcott Illckarda. of Moore's. Delaware
County, jcoterdny, they cannot deny that
they had & royal time. "And should they
forget," as the Gladiator said, "tho
throbs of their heads will quicken mem
ory." .
It was the good Bhlp President which
took them thither and It bore up well
under many burdens Tho occasion can
best be described by n quotation from tho
"Judge's" own papor "Yo ho ho Hnd a
bottle of rum." The "Judge" la also an
editor and dlrecta tho policy of the Re
porter, a newspaper Issued In tho Inter
est of C Scott nickards, City Hall and
political gossips.
The arfalr started as soon as the boat
ewi pt Its tall clean from the end of Arch
street pier. There was a rush aft toward
the beer barrels, and soon tho air was
full of harmony and hope. Willing
spigots gurgled n happy welcome, nnd
clinking glasses proved that good fellow
ship is born with the tnp of a keg.
Ambitious quartets soon began to sprout
In all sections of tho boat, and to empha
size the harmony there was a flfo and
drum corps led by Constable Con Mc
Carthy When not laying down the law
to Indifferent tenants In Kensington, Con
wields the drum major baton nt the head
of tho band. Ho was especially dexter
ous for a considerable portion of the day
yesterday, nnd n flashy blue suit Illumi
nated with silver braid nnd glittering
buttons lent proper dignity to his posi
tion. The band marched about vigorously
for a time, but later on played selections
from very comfortable seats In the how
of the boat. On the same deck within a
few minutes wnlk was an Industrious
orchestra, so one could go from ragtime
to grand opera without the least trouble.
Pome figured edrly In the day that there
were 100Q souls aboard, but this estimate
grew larger during the day as hilarious
mathematicians took a shot at the fig
ures. While the outing was ostensibly for tho
Magistrates of four counties, Philadel
phia. Delaware,- Montgomery and Chea
ter, th Judges of this city were absent
to a man. No one could uccount for this,
but It Is possible that they remained
away on account of n few rumors In con
nection with the trip It had been In
dustriously circulated that the Reporter's

Ruler's Action, Made Secretly,
May Mean Elimination of
Grand Duke Nicholas
PARIS, Sept 7.
Emperor Nicholas has taken over the
command of the Russian armies.
Whether this will reBult In the complete
elimination of Onuul Duke Nicholas la
not yet known. Apparently the Czar'a
action has been kept a close secret in
Petrograd, because the first Intimation of
this action came In a personal dispatch
Polncare today.
The message from the Czar to the
President follows;
"In placing myself today at the head
of my valiant army, I take particular
pleasure in addressing to you, Monsieur
President, most sincere wishes for the
grandeur of France and the victory of its
glorious army,"
Replying, President Polncare aald!
"I know that tu taking the command
your majesty Intends to puraue energetic
ally until the final victory the war forced
upon tho allied nations."
At the eamo time President Polncare ex
preased to tho Czar .watmeat regards In

"thero la nothing to It." It was admit
ted tint some jnscrupulous solicitors, de
sirous of 'ncroaslng commlswlors, might
have spread such a report, but they wore
repudiated by the, men higher up. Thla
city was represented by a numter of ex
pollrc lieutenants and division lenders.
The other three counties, howover.
were there. In full Judicial fnce, and It
waa fortunate that they were on the Job.
for Magistrate Charlca K. Melville, of
Chester, was almost compelled to hold
court as soon as he got aboard the boat.
It uppcars that a few of the fhlr guests
mistook the boat for a section of the
Tenderloin and they were quickly sen
tenced to the "Ilrlg" by the Judgo nnd
liberated later on premises to reform.
This matter had barely been straight
ened out when word was circulated that
tho waiters were serving even body with
beer, legurdless of age or general con
ditions. Again, "Judge" Melville got on
the Job. Ho mobilized the 33 negroes In
n corner of the boat nnd Informed them
that law was law on water as well as on
land; nnd Intd down his ruling in such
fashion that the negroes gave everybody
tho "once over' before appeasing their
thirst
The Judge, who is president of the
Magistrates' Association, was congratu
lated for his vigilance and the waiters
behaved. Several of the "darkles" an
nounced fiom time to time, however, that
everything was fieo but them, nnd they
gue black looks to the guests who didn't
"get" their meaning.
Tho concerns that supplied the drinks
for thu occasion announced their wares
In display mis In many parts of the boat,
and the drinkers were also reminded Just
what thoy were imbibing, which helped
matters, perhaps. In nn advertising way.
Among other "Judgea" there was Mag
istrate Iluckland, of Hryn Mawr, who Is
known as tho "auto terror" on account
of his opposition to all kinds of speed.
The Judge didn't Interfere with the gen
eral speed of the occasion, but cast angry
glances toward swiftly flying motorboats
from puro habit, and would have fined
many perhaps had ho been able to over
take them In the strewn,
Every precaution was tnkW for fhef
comfort of women and children, nnd 'there
was nn abundnnce of policemen to see
that they were not annoyed by those
whose tnstes tan along hllnrlous lines.
Then, too, there was no end of "eats,"
nnd If nny one was hungry It was surely
hla own fault,
