ILL HEALTH A!
CROP FAILURES
CAUSE SUICIDE
Howard Ward, Despondent
Over Financial Condi
tion, Kills Self.
WIFE FINDS BODY
Returning Home Late at
Night After Day's Work .
. Stumbles Over Dead
Body on Porch.
Howard L. Ward, a resident of
Green Station community, was
found dead at his home late last
night, having committed suicide
early In the day, his act appar
ently haying been raused by des
pondency over ill health and fin
ancial reverses. v.
Mr. Ward had been in poor
health for the past two or three
months. He had been operating
a small farm near Green, and had
suffered the loss of bis broccoli
crop, so that his financial condi
tion was causing him considerable
worry. Unable to work, he became
very despondent, and It Is believed
that this condition led up to his
taking his own life.
His wife and eon have been
working In Roseburg, and from
all indications as soon as they
left the bouse and started for
town, he went to the barn and
fed the stock, leaving the barn
' door propped open, so that the
stock could get to the pasture.
This was contrary to his usual
custom, but it la believed was
done so that the stock would be
able to obtain feed and water dur
ing the day.
He then evidently procured his
shot gun and seating himself on
the bark porch of the house, with
the niuzxle of the gun against his
neck, pointing upward, pulled the
trigger, killing himself Instantly,
The body was not fonnd until
late last night. Mrs. Ward and
her son drove home after dark,
having completed their work.
While the car was being put in
the garage Mrs. Ward started Into
the house and In the darkness
stumliled and fell over the dead
body of her husband.
Coroner Ritter was called, but
did-not deen an inquest necessary,
the facts being quite apparent.
Mr. Ward leaves a widow and
one son. Ray L. Vard. His aged
father, Frailer Ward is a resident
at the Oregon Soldiers Home. He
also is survived by two brothers.
George Ward of Roseburg and i
Tom Ward of Elgarose.
Mr. Ward was 69 years of ace
and was a native ot this couniy.
having been born at Melrose. The
funeral services will be held at the
Undertaking parlors on' Friday
morning at 10 o'clock; Burial will
follow in the i Melrose cemetery. ;

FOLEY REPLIES TO

Interview - With Woman
' Held Before Witnesses,
He Says Opinion of
Court Tomorrow-
tAaorUtad Pros Uas4 Win.)
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. The
Shenandoah court ot Inquiry today.
'concluded Its investigation of the
ciisn vi Aim. ju.nraarei unu-j,
downe and will announce Us opto
Ion regarding them tomorrow.
It heard from Captain Paul Fo
ley, accused by the widow ot the
Shenandoah s captain ot trying to
sway her testimony, a complete
disavowal ot any Intention except
that ot being helpful to her.
Then It listened to a statement
by Lieutenant Commander C. E.
Rosendahl, senior surviving offi
cer of the wrecked dirigible, de
nouncing as a slander of the dead
any insinuation that Commander
Lansdowne took the Shenandoah
her fatal western flight when
he believed her In jeopardy frora
the weather.
Toe statement of Rosendahl.
placed unexpectedly before the
court just as It was preparing to
adjourn, sustained until the end
the nervous tension that has grip-
jped court and spectators since the
hearing began Tuesday morning.
A moment before Foley had left
the witness stand with the state
ment that bis whole attitude to
ward Mrs. Lansdowne as a pros-
pectlve witness had been that of
an "honorable man" who supposed
at the time that he was dealing
with an "honorable woman."
Rosendahl then told the court
that ''in the interest of justice" it
should permit him to speak before
It retired to consider the question
before it He was impelled to
speak, he said, by Insinuations that
Commander Lansdowne took the
Shenandoah out, despite his own
belief that weather conditional
would jeojardlze her safety. He de-
dared such a suggestion not only
j "reaches the height of absurdity
but slanders the dead."
"I have made this statement for
; the sake of fair play," he said, "so
that the undlsputable facta may en-
Joy a Just domination over any
possible fancied, perverted or pre-
judicial variations thereof."
j Captain Foley testified that the
statement sent to her contained
Jnothlng that Mrs. Lansdowne had
not said to him in the presence of
(three witnesses.
I The statement, prepared for her
I consideration, he added, was in
form that would make' necessary
ner cross-examination before the
rollrt .nd "with a view In leaving

This conclusion was reported to
day to Ihe 8henandoah naval court
of Inquiry. Tests were made on
more than two hundred specimens
taken at random from the wreck
age. There was some corrosion of
the duraluminum beama and gird
ers. It was said, but It waa Insuffi
cient to affect the strength of th
metal since the full strength was
not utlllied in the desjn of the
Shenandoah.
