Laughlin Victim of Own Hand Instead of Cerebral Hemor rhage, as Given Out. riTTSBURO, March 12. A coroner's re port today gave the cause of the death of Thomas K. Laughlln, brother-in-law of President Taft, yesterday as "suicide by shooting." Death was first rtported as due to cerrebre! hemorrhages, according to the statement of two attending physicians, who said they "arrived too late, as death had been evidently Instantaneous." According to authoritative Information, Laughlin's body was found by servants In the basement of his home, with a gap ing wound in the side of the head. A re port of the death was not returned to the coroner. It Is said, until last night, when a return was quietly made and entered by two doctors. For months Mr. Laughlln had been a sufferer from nervous trouble. The physicians attending Mr. Laughlln were T. M. T. McKennan and W. H. Ingram. Dr. McKennan would neither deny nor confirm the rumors thai Mr. Laughlln had killed himself. Dr. Ingram could not be seen. Mr. Lauglin was one of Pittsburg's best known men. He was a member of all the more prominent clubs, a director In sev eral banking Institutions and assistant treasurer of the Jones & Laughlln Steel company.

IMPUDENT, SAT ENGUSII PAPERS Press Offers So Sympathy for Treat ment at Manchester by Market Operators lie Squeeied In Cotton Corner. LONPOT. March 11 James A. Patten, the Chicago speculator who waa Jostled and driven out of the Manchester Cotton ex oh an ff os yesterday, sailed from Liverpool for New Tork, on board the steamer Mauretanla. The Kngllsh press, generally strong for law and order, extends no sympathy for Mr. Patten in his Manchester experience. The Westminister Gazette today says: "We are glad that the American cotton king got out of the Manchester exchange with nothing worse than some hustling and hooting, but cannot profess any sympathy for his wounded feelings." The paper expresses astonishment that Pattern had the "Impudence," considering the Injury which his operations had done to the Lancashire cotton industries, to pre sume on the oourtesy generally accorded visitors from across the Atlantic. It adds: "Men who make corners in raw materials, In men, life and labor, are no longer sent to prison, but they cannot reasonably ex pect to be welcomed by the people who have suffered through their operations." The Pall Mall Gaiette does not question that the Chicago speculator may be, on his own lines, an honest dealer, "but what la interesting and Important Is the Judg ment of the Manchester business men upon the lines which they themselves consider reprehensible." The paper calls the corner ing of the necessaries of life monstrous, and adds: "It would be difficult to draw the line between the legitimate and the Illegitimate In market methods, but there Is such a line In the confident Judgment of our common morality to which the Man chester exchange has g1en rough and ready execution." I Bleached Flour Cases Dismissed by Government! Thrown Out on Ground that the Flour Was Fixed Up Merely as a Catch. CALDWELL & DRAKE OPPOSE INSPECTION BY OUTSIDERS Court Honne Contractors Willing; to AHott Architect Tnly to Exam amlne YeUer Warns Board. The Board of County Commissioners heard a protest Saturday from an attorney Representing Caldwell & Dtrake against permitting or authorising "Irresponsible and prejudiced persons to Inspect the work of construction of the new court house." Caldwell A Drake are willing to have the architect or his Inspectors or other au thorised inspectors view the building as closely as may be desired. The legal proceedings which were to have, begun before Judge Sutton Went over until Tuesday. The matter was to have come up on a motion by the plaintiffs to advance on the docket the petition for an injunction end for the appointment by the court of experts to Inspect the riveting. Hall & Stout of counsel for Caldwell & Drake, were engaged In arguing a motion In another court room, and for this reason there was no argument Saturday. The latest move by John O. Telser and Percy Covert is to issue a warning to the Board of County Commissioners not to pay for any more of the steel work on pain of J an appeal to the governor ;to remove the board, member from their offices. ' r v - - - The bleached flour cases against the Up dike Milling company of Omaha and the Shawnee Milling company of Topeka, brought by the government under the title of the United State against 2GS Sacks of Flour, have been dismissed by the federal court. ' United States District Attorney Temple of Iowa was thus notified by telegram by Pierce Butler of St. Paul, special attorney for the government In these cases. The milling companies were charged with violating the pure food law by adulterating their flour which they shipped to a government military post. The grounds on which the cases were dis missed, as stated by the government was that the milling companies had "loaded" a shipment which was seized because they expected It would be seized, and that the flour was not bleached In the same way as the regular car for distribution. A. Edgecombe, manager of the Updike Milling company, said he had heard the cases were to be dismissed and he also heard that the government claimed the shipment waa not the regulation flour turned out by the company, but a special brand not bleached as much as the stand ard brand. "It looks like an excuse on the part of the government because the government chemists did not find the flour and Chief Chemist Wylle claimed they would find." said Mr. Edgecombe. "There la no doubt that the flour seized was the regulation bleached flour, because government In spectors were at the mill and watched the flour through every process and watched the bleaching of the flour and It had their stamp." The telegram received by District At torney Templed read: You are hereby authorised and advised to dismiss all bleached flour cases In your dlBtrlct PIERCE BUTLER. "This has no connection with the New Orleans cases," said Colonel Temple. "Each case stands alone and by Itself." ST. PAUL, Minn., March U. Pierce But ler, special counsel for the government in the bleached flour cases dismissed at Coun cil Bluffs today, said: "It wa the government position that no matter how the cases were decided the decision would not settle the propriety of bleaching. "This does not mean that proceedings along this line will be dropped, as we have cases now pending in St Louis, Chicago, Madison and Indianapolis." DEATH RECORD ' Mrs. Jessie Redman.
