C, a close friend of Miss I -aura Matthews, the I young woman who committed suicide near I Broadmoor Sunday n!ght, added horror and f mystery to the gruesome case by shooting t himself through the head this afternoon In the same manner adopted by Miss , ' Matthews. Rumbaugh committed the act In his room i at the Alta Vista hotel. The hour when ' the shot was fired la not known, as It was i .not heard by anyone In the hotel, and the J attempted suicide was discovered only when I officers went to his room to ascertain why I t e, had not responded to the subpoena to P ai.ilid the coroner'a Inquest over Miss ' Matthew's body today. When the officers appeared at the hotel a bell boy was sent to Rumbaugh's room to see what was the matter. The boy found the door locked and could get no response. The officers asked that the door 1 be opened, but the key was on the Inside and another coujd not be Inserted In the lock. An officer was boosted up to the trill helm tfui lisom apd looked In, and the spectacle law was horrifying. fumbaugh was reclining on the edge of ttl? bed and his brains had opted out onto the floor, i He was unconscious. A hasty examination showed that the man was still V alive and he was taken to a hospital, lie unconscious and cannot recover. met ., MtM Matthews Left Letters. co' That tile 'get of Rumbaugh was the dl C rect' result nf ttie death of Miss Matthews Is not draihted. He was to- have appeared ' this afternoon as a witness at the coroner's Inquest to tell what he knew of his friend's ', tragic end. Rumbaugh claimed to be but ' k chance) acquaintance of the girl, but It '' developed he knew her In Chicago and also knew C. A. Coey, the wealthy Chl'-agoan, Band Dr. M. A. Thomas of the "101 ranch." thHe was freauently a member of parties tliet which Miss Matthews and the other men referred to were members. Rumbaugh was ththe one who accompanied Miss Green, tl.e Hinurse. to the livery stable nbout 5 o'clock "Monday morning to see If the actress' horse fcsst. returned. It was he who rent the tele tram to Coey demanding that he "do the right thing by the girl," and It was with him that Miss Matthews left the letter in which was enclosed another letter to Coey. The officers have not yet had time to examine Rumbaugh's papers and effects and the coroner has had his room locked. If Rumbaugh did not destroy the letter left Win by Miss Matthews, together with the letter to Coey. It Is believed they will show startling facts that may entangle many people of prominence.

It was as follows: "I-aura committed suicide on account of you. Letters left behind. Send J3w0 at once for expenses." The public officers say that the letter shows that Rumbaugh knew Coey well enough to Bpeak to him of "Laura" nnd to threaten him. Rumbaugh was about 2S years old and was a son of a wealthy Washington, D. C, family. A fervire medal of honor shows Hint he served with distinc tion in the Tenth Pennsylvania Infantry In the Philippines. At the coroner's Inquest held today oyer tho body of Mrs. Laura Matthews, whoso dead body was found lying In a lane near Broadmoor yesterday with a bullet hole in her head, several sensational facts were de veloped. Miss Green, the nurse who has been the dead woman's companion while In Colorsdo Springs, admitted having written several letters to friends of Miss Matthews In Chi cago and elsewhere stating that Laura had taken her life. It developed that these let ters were written before she had been In formed of the finding Miss Matthews' body. She explained this by saying that she had anticipated such an event. One of the let ters written by Miss Green Is as follows: My Dear Tot: Poor little Laura has enbd her hard baUle she has tried to ilggt. Shot herself tonight. Home soon and will tell you all. This ha been a se vere nervous strain, but must keep up and make arrangements. Sincerely, " TILLIB. This letter was not addressed, but la jry posed to have been' Intended for somo p.t son In Chicago. Miss Green also tebtlflsd that several days ago she and Miss Mat thews had visited the local mortuary and Miss Matthews had selected a casket and remarked: "This Is the kind of a casket I wish to be burled In." The witness declared positively that Miss Matthews was not In a delicate condition. ' ' Girl Threatened Suicide. Thomas Holton, residing at the Alta Vista hotel, was the next witness called. Laura Matthews had told him on Saturday, the day previous to the suicide, that she would take her own life. He said he believed from what Miss Matthews sal(t thet C. A. Coey of Chicago was responsible for her despondent condition. Acting Coroner Richardson was called to j the stand and described the position of the. body of Miss Matthews when found. ' Rumbaugh having not, yet appeared, Miss Green, the nurse, ,was recalled and asked to testify relative to Miss Matthews' Jewels. This testimony did not bring out anything new and Miss Green was excused Just us the startling news of the attempted suicide of Rumbaugh, was Imparted to the officials present. Rumbaugh's death Is expected hourly. Two brief notes are all that explains th. young man's act. One note, addressed "To whom It may concern," reads as fol lows ' Ship my body to Mrs. .J. H. Rumbaugh, Mount Pleasunt, Pa. Westmoreland county. Notify the Travelers' Insurance company of Hartford, Conn., and the Fraternal Order of Kagles of Scottdalo, Pa. AMOS R. Rl'MBAl'UH. The second noe was addressed to his mother, Mrs. J. H. Rumbaugh, at the above address. Rumbaugh wrote: .

SOURCES OF ERROR CHECKED UP Most Carefol rompntstlmi Places the Amount of Gold Coin and Pnl llon In the Mint at $ l,44,J45.2NO. WAPHIXOTON. July 3V The retiring di rector of the mint. Mr. Oeorpe E. Roberts, hss been for a number of yoar ronrtnrtlnc an Inquiry for the purpose of verifytng the treasury estimates of the stork of gold In the United States, or of tracing errors therein, and today pave out the following summary of his conclusions: For a number of years the treasury es timates of the sttock of gold In the United Btates have been questioned by competent students, who have believed them to be high. The amounts reported to be In the treasury and In national banks sre not disputed, but the large residue assumed to be In other bnnks and In circulation Is considered a doubtful finality. For exam ple, the estimate for June 30, 190H, Was as follows: United States treasury IS04.iM0.1S5 National banks : 11S.513.2S1 National banks by Clearing house cert meatus fi3.197.00O Other banks and In circulation.... 4.944.7::i Totals 11.472. 9W1.20S The report of the comptroller of the cur rency for 1306 shows that state and other banks In the national system reported to him as holding on that date a total of M,iW7.27. Ircluding clearing house certifi cates. These banks also held Pil.fi71.fiSl In unclassified "cash," and $7.027.29 In "specie." Allowing the usual percentage of this to be gold and making some further allowances for private bsnks not respond ing to the comptroller's unofficial Inquiry. r.OO.Oon.ttlO Is considered a fair estimate for the gold coin In banking Institutions other than national. The laws of the state of California re. quire the moneys of the state, county and ; municipal eovernment to be kept In the ' Immediate custody of the treasurers, and this Is held to mean that the cash must be In the vaults of their offices Instead of on deposit Ifl banks. The aggregate amount of gold coin so held In the state of Cali fornia on the first Monday In July, 100B. was flXi.lul.409. These are the only large hold ings of gold of which there Is definite knowledge. Tolol of Gold. Tho totnl, therefore, of gold which may he said to have been In sight In this country on June 30, 1903, was f 1,1 12,201. 825, leaving tr",7!3.3S4 to he considered "in other banks and In circulation." For this last Item It is evident there can be no exact figures. Tho sum total Is arrived at by the method described below, nnd after the analysis above given Is made the remainder Is as signed to the unknown holdings. The treasury estimate dates from June 30. 1873. when Pr. Henry t. Llndcrmann, di rector of the mint, estlmnted the total stock of the country at f136.O0fl.OCO. The conditions then were favorable to a close estimate. The country was on a paper basis, and the slock of gold comparatively small. Pr. I.lndorman In framing his estl mnte said that he had taken the amounts In the treasury and national hanks and added an allowance of f20,ono.000 for the amount In circulation on the Pacific coast and flO.COO.000 for the holdings of the public In other parts of the country. Hlnee W7S the oolnaga of the mints, and the. Imports of United States' coin have been regularly added and the exports of United States coin and on allowance for the amount consumed Industrially have been regularly deducted. By this method the estimate had been built up from year to year to the totals used. The possible sources T)f error, as these estimates are carried along, are three, to wit: First Frrors In custom house returns of coin imnnrts and exports. nreond F.rrors In estimating the Indus trM consumption. Third The unrecorded movement of coin In and out of the coimtrv In the Immedi ate possession of travelers. It s evident that If errors under these heads should be cumulative . they would become Important In a long term of years, even thouph Inconsiderable In any single year. Whatever errors occurred would af fect the amount assigned to "other bnnks and In circulation," the sums In the treas ury nnd national banks being definite and I official. Among the most Intelligent and well In formed of the critics has been Mr. Maurice Ij. Muhleman, for many years an official of the Treasury department. He has sev eral times reviewed the estimates and 1ven cogent reasons for believing them too high. The director of tho mint has been satisfied for several years that errors had crept Into the estimates, but has preferred not to announce a revision until all sources of Information, had been exhausted. He la now ready to make the changes submitted below. Krror In Original Estimate. The first error to be noted Is one dis covered by Mr. Muhleman In Pr. T.lnder man's original estimate of the stock In the country June 30, 1873. The stock of gold actually In the treasury on that date, after various "coin Items" are eliminated, was only fTl.lSS.MS; the stock of "specie" In rational banks at the nearest statement thereto was $4.8;8,OS. The latter Included some silver coin. The nearest date for which the stock of sliver coin In banks Is obtainable Is June 30, 1871, when It was 11,472.507.. It seems probable that there was silver coin to the amount of fl.000,000 In the banks on June 80, 1873, which would make their gold holdings f3 818,086. Adding the 10,000,01,10 estimated by Dr. Llnderman as the amount In the hands of other bunks and the public, the total In the country on that date would be flOGOOS.rai, Instead of fl35,000,000. This difference Is undoubtedly due to Pr. Linderman'a having included certain "coin Items," such as bonds, In his figures for gold In the treasury. There being no duty upon gold bullion or coin it naturally follows that customs offi cials are not as particular to verify the accuracy of declarations as thev would otherwise be. If a shipment of gold bullion or foreign gold coin should ba accidentally entered at a custom house as United Htates coin It would be taken up In the statistics as an addition to the stock, but the same shipment . would probably go directly to some office of the mint service, and, after coinage, be added to the stock again, thus effecting a duplication. Having occasion to suspect that this had actually occurred, clerkawere set at work to trace the entries at the New York custom house and corn par them with the entries of foreign coin and bullion at the United States assay office in New York City. The result was the discovery of such duplications to an aggregate of f23.4O4.710, and It Is thought there Is warrant for raising this by esti mate to f3u.000,ta. Th Canadian Fig are. Tha custom house figures for the move ment of United States gold coin betv n this country and Canada evidently do not tell the whole story. They show In the period under review a balance against this country of flMU.fc. while the -stock of United States gold coin In tha Domini in treasury and 1n the rharterad banks In creased la the aiua period from about fi.ooo.ono to f48.sn4.lM. It Is safe to esti mate tho loss to Canada In excess of the custom house records at f2B,0V."io. Canada, It should be understood, during these years has had no gold coinage of Its own, and United States gold coin Is a legal reserve against Its bank notes. It has been assumed thst coin carried out of the country by travelers was usually brought back in th same manner, but the probabilities are that some of it Is melted down abroad and finally lost to our cir culation. Inquiries coverlrg this rbae of the subject have been addressed to all our consular officials In foreign countries and replies received. Tha reports Indicate that less coin Is carried away In recent years than formerly, but that an allowance should be made. These losses since 187S are es timated at f30.0no.000. A revised estimste of the amount con sumed In industrial consumption, based upon the more definite Information obtained In recent years, raises previous estimates by the sum of f ?5,f O.ooo. . Summing up the dedurtlon of 3R0 0 0O prior to lssn, fW.OOe.OfO In customs entries, f25.ono.oriO for the Canadian movement. f'-'S.-OOO.nno for industrial consumption, and t-1.-onooo for the unrecorded exports, a total of fl36.On0.OO0 Is reached. This sum taken from the amount In other banks and In circula tion on June 3. 1906. would lesve that estimate at f225.79S.34. Bringing the cal culation down to June 1. 19"", and maKIng the deductions, gives a total stock of gold coin and bullion (In the mints) of fl,484. 84.r..28fl, of which tl, 109.485,330 Is held by the treasury and national banks. It Is believed that these are all of the deductions that are warranted by a care ful review of the facts. In no other coun try of the world can so large a percent age of the estimated stock of standttrd money be definitely located. APPOINTMENTS OF SCHMITZ Kan Kranrlsco Now Has Two Board of Snpervlsora nnA More Trouble la In fight. SAN FRANCISCO, July 30. Eugene E.

In giving out his 'appointments Mayor Schmltz made the following comment on the municipal situation: "I am exceedingly sorry to see this supervisorial tangle, for it Is likely to cause a deal of litigation for the city and county of San Francisco for years to cgnir. My own course is clear. Act ing upon the advice of my attorney, which I believe to be absolutely legal, I hold, that I, as the mayor of San Francisco, have the sole power Of appointments to vacancies in municipal offices and thtt the appointive acts of Edwin B. Taylor are void and Incapable of legal sup port." ... Mr. Sohmlti complained that his private mall is being opened by Mayor Taylor. He exhibited severrfi letters addressed to "Hon., Eugene E. sVhmlts, San Francisco, personal," which had been silt open and marked In Indelible pencil "Opened by Edward R. Taylor." Schmltz said: 'This is something that no man will stand for. I shall take tt up Immediately with the authorities at Washington and press the complaint to the limit against Mr. Taylor."

'There's Reason" SUIT TO FORCE FAIR RATES Action Threatened by Grain Exchang-6 if Eailroads Hold Out. PROPORTIONAL THE OBJECTION Dealers Maintain Rallnaa lanor Rating of Interstate Commerce Commission on Shipments Oat of Omaha. "If necessary, the Omaha drain exchange or one of Its members will bring suit against the railroads In this proportional matter," said a member of the exchange Tuesday. He referred to the contention which arose between the railroads and the grain dealers over the Increase In proportional rates, which took effect July 1. The deal ers say that grain which originated be yond Omaha prior to July 1 under the old rate should take the old proportional rate out of Omaha even If shipped after July 1. The railroads aald not and charged the new rate, which meant an Increase of lc a bushel on a large atore lu the Omaha elevators. "The railroads are charging us the In creased rate and we are paying It under protest," continued this grain man. "They seem to Ignore the opinion of Chairman Knapp of the Interstate Commerce com mission that they are taking the wrong stand. "What we want now Is an order from the commission Instructing the railroads to carry the grain In question st the old rate. I think It Is but a question of a short j time until this Is secured. Then. If the I railroads do not comply, either the com ! mission or the Omaha Grain exchange. In j all probability the latter, will bring suit. A request from the commission to bring action, or a definite formal statement from the commission that the railroads are ab solutely wrong, would be nil that Is neces sary to warrant us In bringing suit. Wonts to Be Certain. "As lar as I am concerned, I do not care whether the proportional on gral.i to Chicago is 10 cents or 12 cents, but I do want to know what I can count on. I even would not object to. paying 12 cents on the grain that was In Omaha July 1 If when a decrease In rates the rallron,da would apply It on grain already In Omaha. We are afraid they won't do that, but will try to catch us at both ends of the line. We either want back ome of the money we are paying under protest or we want to be assured that the railroads cannot Impose on us In case the rate should be changed to a lower basis some time." Every day some of the grain which Is the bone of contention Is shipped out of Omaha and Its transportation Is paid for at tho rate demanded by the railroads, though it Is said this rate Is paid under protest In each case. Just how much grain Is Involved only some of the largest grain companies know, but It is said the differ ence between the old and new rates on It Is a mutter of many thousand dollars. WADVSH MAY CUT OX GHAIt Gould Road Proposes to Reduce nates to the Fast. With the first loads of wheat coming from the fields the old grain rate war between the west and the east Is again threatened. The Wabash has given notice of its Inten tion to make a reduction In grain rates to the east, and If clone this will reopen the trouble which was threshed out lsst win-, ter. One conference has been held and another is scheduled for next Frlflay Irt Chicago, when an effort will be mad by the other roads to ,et tha Wabash to change Its Intention. The fight is the same old thing, a con test over a division of the through rates by the roads east and west of Chicago. While the western roads have all along offered to reduce the rates the eastern lines have stood firm and refused to take anything lees than the old rate. The Wa bash proposes to make the division give the roads east of Chicago 15 cents instead of 17, as at present. The Wabash holds a unique position In that It has Its own rails from Missouri rlvfr points to Ruffnlo, whereas all other lines have to give up the grain at Chicago. The WabaKlt says It Is tired of only getting the haul to Chicago ; when It might as well have the long haul, j It is thought the large reduction Is made . to make, the line a strong competitor with I the boats In hauling ihe grain to Buffalo. EVELYN THAW DENIES STORY ' Toklnur Tocnl Lessons nnd ndln Philosophy, bnt Will Not Go on Stage.

Mrs. Thaw visited her husband In the Tombs, after which she declared she had no Intention of returning to the stage. Mrs. Thaw was dressed In a dark brown cloth suit and from a black sailor straw hat fell a white veil which did not con ceal the frequent smiles which punctuated her story of her plans. "No, I have not the slightest Intention of going back to the stage," Mrs. Thaw said, "and I am quite sure that I don't know where such a story came from. I am taking singing lessons at the sugges tion of my physician, who says I have seme slight affection of the vocal chords. My health, otherwise, is perfect. No, I have never dreamed of going on the stage. When I first went on the boards I had tha Idea I was going to be a Sarah Bern hardt the second. That Idea soon tied after one or two rehearsals and now I would never think of going back to the stage. I am simply going to study music to strengthen my voice and develop It. but it's too early yet to say what I ahull be able to do for I have only taken one lesson. "I Intend to Temaln here In New York all the summer and fall until the trial. I shall not return to Pittsburg.
