E. Roushar, a banker and mill owner of disturbance in Palm Beach, last Tuesday On that day, in company with two friends who became really his guards. he started for Chicago. The three arrived at the Victoria Hotel yesterday morning. Duning the entire journey and up to 5 o'clock 3resterday afternoon, when he wee to have left the hotel to take a traAn or his home city, his guards never allowed him out of their sight But just before be was Lo have taken his cab for the station he W8- allowed to go 41101IN into the lavatory of the hotel.

Apparently he had planned for that moment. Stabs Himself with Knife. While the friends waited at the door be opened his knife and drove the long blade into his breast three luches below his heart, inflicting a wound which, It was stated last night, probably would cause his death. The two friends who accompanied Mr. Roushar from Florida were N.

J. Hecht of Truman, and E. C. Hyde of Fairmont. In the same state.

They were looking over Florida lands, but Roushar bad taken the trip for pleasure. Roushar had been acting strangely for some days, but we did not become alarmed about him until Tuesday, when he developed the habit of wandering' away from us." said Mr. Hyde. "Then we talked the matter over and decided we had better get him started for his home immediately. Neither Hecht nor myself knew Roushar Intimately, although we had bad business dealings.

For this reason, when we started north, we wired to Alexander Grant of Fairmont, who knew him well, and asked him to, come on to Chicago, and take Roushar from Chicago for the rest of the journey. The trip to Chicago was made without particular incident, although Roushar's condition never showed any improvement He was never violent, but his talk and conduct was of a character to make us feel the greatest concern." Gives S1 Tips in Hotel After the party arrived in Chicago Mr. Grant took Roushar in charge: During the day the banker caused some comment around the hotel by distributing $1 bills as tips, and once he got out to Miehigan boulevard without his guard and was brought back by a policeman. We were just ready to start for the train," said Mr. Grant, when Roushar said he wanted to wash his hands.

We went to the lavatory with him and stood masa the door. We 'could see him standing there, and while we watched, his legs suddenly doubled up beneath him and he fell to the floor. We thought he bad fainted at first and then we saw the handle of the knife sticking out from his coat" inflicting a wound which, it was stated last night, probably would cause his death. The two friends who accompanied Mr. Roushar from Florida were N.

J. Hecht of Truman, and E. C. Hyde of Fairmont. the same state.

They were looking over Florida lands, but Roushar had taken the Whisky was as the cause for the crime. All the attorneys for the defense declared their clients were inflamed with intoxicants to such a Cegree ben the murder was committed that they were Bible. Politics was dragged into the trial when Attorney Edgar Jones, couneel for Staoey, charged that the state's attorney's office was. trying to make a record." He asserted that John E. W.

Swift will be made this afternihn or Monday. The time is indennite, because of the condition of the widow, who is recovering from an operation at the Congress hotel.

Coroner Hoffman dtsires her written consent before taking any official action. Dr. Charles E. Kali Ike, the Swift family ph3s1cian, says such permission will be forthcoming as soon as she is able to Ign the paper. Dr.

Kahlke held a long conference with Coroner Hoffman yesterday afternoons following a talk betiveen Mr. Hoffman and Attorney Roy O. West, counsel for Louis F. Swift, brother of the deceased. Mr.

West declined to make any statement, but Dr. Kahlke deemed it advisable to do so, in view of the many misleading rumors. Relatives Desire Inquiry. "The Swift relative's desire the most thorough investigation that can be held." said Dr. Kahlke.

It will not only set the dead man right with his friends. but will protect tile widow from further annoyance from persons who have written and telephoned her repeatedly threatening to expose what they said were the circumstances surrounding the death. Mr. Swift was unfortunate in selecting associates. The autopsy will establish beyond doubt that Mr.

Swift died from natural causes. The bruises on his body had nothing to do with his death. He was injured in falling. Re Suffered injuries of this sort on previous occasions. I knew the weakened condition of his heart and predicted just about the moll Of an end that he inct.

I warned him against it. Coroner Nahin of Milwaukee seems ill at ease since learning Mr. Swift was not entirely conscious when he was taken aboard the train. That condition meant nothing to, persons who knew Mr. Swift The family has nothing to conceal The whole affair is unfortunate, and I am positive the autopsy will convince Coroner Hoffman no further action will be necessary." Coroner Hears Many Stories.

The coroner said he heard sensational stories from enemies of the dead man. and some of these statements were taken down by the Official stenographer. Mr. Hoffman. however, declared he took little stock in many of the things told to him.

A. W. La Forge, the medical college graduate who was with, Mr. Swift when he died on the train between Chicago and Milwaukee on the night of Oct. 19 last, assured the cproner that Mr.

Swift NN as in the loop district the greater part of the day of his departure. La Forge also said Mr. Swift was taken direct to the Northwestern train from his residence, at 4300 Michigan avenue. Hurt in Own Residence. Friends of Swift deplore the fact that La Forge testified at the Milwaukee inquest that the injury to the decedent's right eye eas caused by his falling off the seat in the car.

Subsequent events indicated that this Injury was received in the Swift home, when he fell off a couch. This caused Coroner Nahin to become suspicious of his own investigation, and he requested Coroner Hoffman to reopen the inquiry here. Dr. E. R.

If he recovers from the almost ccnnplete paralysis which now afflicts him it will be, in the opleion of physicians, because he has had the aid of the electrically driven pump which Is concealed within the case of this machine. For the last fifty-six hours, up to midnight last night, a pipe from the exhaust side of the cleaner has been filling hie lungs with air eighteen times a Minute almost continuously.

Mr. Fiseher is conscious, his mind Is clear, he can tans about his predicament during the Intervals when the device Is removed. His young wife sund 0 months old baby are almost constantly in his room; he can recognize them even while the machine is in operation. His paralysis is so nearly complete that be cannot turn his head or move any part of his body, but his heart continues to do its work. He can even breathe, but only by an exhausting effort Occasionally Breathes for Himself.

With a trained nurse in constant attendance, Dr. H. F. Langhurst, the physician In charge, occasionally stops the vacuum pump and removes -from the patient's face the mask in which the tube from the exhaust ends. At first Mr.

Fischer manages to till his lungs by the use of his own muscles, exercising a distinct effort of the will at each respiration. Gradually the muscles weaken. Less and less air is taken in at each effort his skin loses the color of life and becomes the blue which presages suffocation and death. Then the mask is readjusted, the electric current turned on, and the- flow of air from the vacuum cleaner. interrupted at intervals of less than three seconds, fills his lungs for him.

The question whether Mr. Fischer will recover is not one that can be decided, except by time. Dr. Langhurst said last night 1 the chance was there. The patient already has shown some improvement It might be that his body has the power to recover Its former powers.

There is little doubt that such power as it has would not be effective If its energy were absorbed in the process of breathing. Used in a Previous Case. The employment of the vacuum device came about through an article published recently in THE TRIBUNE, which told how a young woman who was incompletely dead" was revived by it and kept alive for thirty-six hours after her power to breathe for herself had ceased. Dr. Langhmest read the story 4 and learned the device was the invention of Harry M.

Richter of the Northwestern university medical school. Last Wednesday, when Mr. Fischer's sudden attack of paralysis became so nearly complete that his lungs failed him, Dr. Lang-burst remembered the device and sent for it. Four hours elapsed between the time Dr.

Langhurst made his request and the tim, when Dr. Richter arrived at Elmhurst with his machine. The patient was kept alive during that time by the laborious manual method of artificial respiration. As soon as the machine was connected up with the electric lighting circuit, the current turned on, and the mask adjusted to the patient's face he began to revive. His skin changed from blue to the flush of life.

That was at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. After a time it was possible to remove the machine and permit him to talk for a few minutes. Since then he has breathed for himself only for short intervals. He cannot PWRITOW, so that the only nourishment he has taken has been through a stomach tube. Has Ascending Paralysis.

Dr. Peter Bassoe. profeeeor of neurology at Rush Medical college, who was called Into consultation as to the cause of the paralysis, thought at first it might be a case of polymyositis, the disease far which Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller institute in New York is endeavoring the find a serum. It seems now that the disease is what is known as Landry's, or ascending, paralysis.

Mr. Fischer is known to have been suffering from it only since Sunday. Before that he had nothing more serious than bronchitis. vacum-n pump and removes from the I patient's face the mask in which the tube from the exhaust ends. At first Mr.

Gradually the muscles weaken. less and less air is taken in Miss Kittle McLahlin, winner of eighty-seven gold medals and who has been awarded the title of champion Scotch dancer of America is to defend her title on St. Patrick's day at the entertainment to be given at the Auditorium under the auspices of the Irish Literary society of Chicago. The program includes a contest between Irish and Scotch (lancers.

Pictures and relics of Ireland will also be shown in connection with the Rev. K. Fielding's talk on A Night in Ireland." Especial interest attaches to a stone brought from Blarney castle by Father Fielding. Shane Leslie of Dublin and the 'Rev. Father O'Flanagan of New York will make short addresses.

Hallways Are Ordered Cleared. Because of a demonstration in the hallways by persons trying to crowd into the room the deputies were Instructed to clear the building.

It required the combined efforts of six deputy sheriffs to rescue him and escort him from the building.

Isaac Newton Perry, at one time a prominent banker, who died Feb. 22, left an estate valued at $150,060, cording to the will, which was filed for probate yesterday. The personal estate is given at $100,000 and the real estate is listed at $50.000. The widow, Sarah B. Perry, 243i'5 Prairie avenue: a eon, Isaac Newton Perry and a daughter, Ruth, L.

If the names of the streets on the north side are changed to numbers it will come only after vigorous protest from residents of that district. Historic names, family associations, individuality. and beauty all Would be lost to a system which adds to the confusion. according to many Chicagoans who have lived on the north side for years.

I am against ft," said Cyrus Bentley, 713 Rush street. The streets have associations which ought not to be cast aside. I approve of the new system of house numbering, and I believe that where there is confueion because of several etreets having similar names a change would help. But think of changing Clark street or Rush street. It would affect the whole life and history of the city.

The new through route became effective yesterday. No other paean of applause than two unmusical ding's started a special carload of street car officials and cheap fare junketeers from the eity's northernmost boundary, Howard avenue, at 2:28 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

For two hours and forty-nine minutes they proceeded southward, first On Clark street, then on Halsted street. then On Vincennes road. All This for One Nickel. When at 5:17 o'clock the celebrants alighted at One Hundred and Nineteenth street, the southern line of the city, they had journeyed twenty-eight miles from Evansten limits through Morgan Park to Blue Island. had traversed the most cosmopolitan street in the world.

Ryan, and Bergen; Charles W. Vail. clerk of the Superior court; John Traeger. city controller, and Herbert H. Evans, secretary of the council committee on local transportation.

No Through Route Yet. The twenty-eight mile service wasn't continuous. A through route won't be established until a spur Is built at Seventy-ninth street. Until then excursionists have to transfer twice, once at Halsted street and the second time at Seventy-ninth street-Yesterday's time schedule, which allows a speed of about nine miles an hour, was taken as follows: 2 :28 Howard avenue. 3.05 Halsted and Grace streets.

connectirg with Dunning and Kankakee," said Aid. Fisher, this route originates at a. cemetery, passes three, and ends at a cemetery." The trip not only exposed a scene of Chicago river activity three times, passed the stockyards and gave a view of packing plants, all sorts of manufactories. steel mills, and different aspects of city business. but crossed forty-seven intersecting car lines and passed under five elevated bridges.

On the trip back Mr. Evans pointed out that by starting at One Hunndred and Nineteenth street and transferring on the Irving Park boulevard ear to Dunning a passenger might ride a mile farther than yesterday's tripor twenty-nine miles. But. of course. this route is to be twenty-eight nalles, continuous, without transfer, he said.

It was dusk when two cattle cars of a stock train left the elevated tracks of the Chicago Junction railroad and hung suspended from the structure. The weight of the cattle forced out the ends of the cars and the animals dropped twenty-five feet to a vacant lot.

Four were killed and three climbed upon the structure of the south Side Elevated railroad. delaying traffic unta they could be chased down. The others, falling to the ground, ran bellowing in every direction. Playing children in neighboring streets and yards screamed as the steers ran down sidewalks and between residences. Many homegoing men and women were almost as badly frightened.

A hurry call to the stockyards brought a store of cowboys ta- the scene, but it was an hour before they had rounded up all the runaways and turned them back toward the stockyards in a herd The only damage re-Ported to the police by the stampeding herd consisted of trampled yards, broken fences, and an occasional demolished window glass. No persons were hurt as far as is known. The derailing of the stock train, which had left the 3 ards at 5:.7.0 o'clock in the evening, was due to a broken frog. Two of the cars Tvere thrown off the rails. They bumped tver the ties for some yards and finally crashed into the Armour branch market building.

The shock turned the cars Wise and flung them clear of the structure, but the couplings held and they remained lusPended from the elevated tracks. A Wrecking train soon cleared away the smashed cars and left the tracks open for service again. Total $526.00 May the fund grow large enough to serve as a strong rebuke to that miscalled reform and philanthrophy which, if en. couraged, would soon bring us into a state of anarchy," wrote one man.

More than twenty-five peddlers have been arrested in the last two days by Chief Deputy City Sealer William Cluett and detectives assigned out of the city sealer's office for smiling vegetables in peck measures instead of by the pound. In all cases the peddlers had scales, but did not use them. Phillip Christopoulos.

The peddlers only have the scales on their wagons for ornaments." said Deputy Cluett. I watched the defendant for more than three hours. He did not Use the scale once in that time and he sold a lot of potatoes and apples.

He sold one woman half a peck of apples. We weighed them on the scales and found them to be short in weight from one to two pounds. People do not get the right amount of apples or potatoes when they get them in the measures." Christopoulos paid the fine. Destroys Individuality. I am emphatically opposed to it," said the Rev.

James S. Stone, rector of St. James Episcopal church. It will destroy the individuality of the streets. We have so little of hisLorical things left that we ought to keep what we have.

If we take the names away we have nothing to remind the coming generation of the men who made the city. It would make the streets like the numbered corridors and cells of a prison." Taking sentiment Into consideration, I am against any change," said Charles H. Wacker, 1341 North State street. But if the change facilitates matters and enables people to find their bearings better, I am in favor of it. I don't like to see the names of people is ho helped to build the city eliminated.

Points to Historical Sentiment. Simuel 712 Lincoln Park boulevard, Insists the proposed plan would add to the contusion. I'm opposed to the change," he said. Numbered, streets with profitxes will give more confusion than names, especially where the same numbers will be in use in another part of the city." No, I am not in favor of the change for the historic interests involved," said Eames MacVeagh. I think where ever there is a duplication in names it would be good to rename the streets after the mayors, perhaps.

Numbers are too prosaic." I think the streets are better the way they are," said Franklin Heed. 3 Banks street. All the deeds to property are made out under the old system. It would make useless confusion." It would be handy for taxlcabe," said Sterling Morton, who has just returned from S'anama. Personally, I wouldn't object to the change," asserted H.
