WIDOW SEEKS LOVE
Without It She Prefers a Seff
Impbsed Death.
DIES IN FINE HOTEL SUITE
Mrs. J. IV. Gray Has Companion at
Hotel, but Broker She Calls
"Sweetheart" Denies He
Ever .Knew Her.
Gray threatened to commit suicide un
less he returned to her."
After being absent from his office all
day. Charles H. Stonehara, -who was be
lieved to have beeA the person to whom
the letters were addressed, and so de
clared by the New York friends of the
dead woman, returned late tonight to his
home In Jersey City. He denied that he
knew Mrs. Gray or that he was connected
with her case in any way. "I never
heard of the woman." said he. He ex
pressed Ismorance of the suicide, and de
clared that the newspapermen brought
him the first news he had received of the
tragedy.
"She may have been a customer of our
firm, and in that way may have ocquired
my address." 5Ir. Stoneham said. "The
name is not at all familiar to me. and I
do not think we had such a person in
New Orleans as a customer."
Mr. Stoneham declined to discuss his
whereabouts during the day. He was em
phatic, however, in his denial that he had
ever been at the Hotel Imperial with Mrs.
Gray, and declared that he has been
.at his home every night for many weeks.
KNEW op stoneham: affair
NEW YORK, May 6. Declaring in a letter
that a telephone conversation with her
lover had made her resolve to take her
own life, as she did not care to live with
out his love, Mrs. J. W.-Oray. a beautiful
and wealthy young widow, committed sui
cide In the Hotel Imperial today. She shot
herself while alone in her room facing
Broadway.
Charles H. Stoneham. a member of the
brokerage Arm of O. F. Jonasson & Co., 44
Broadway, the man named as "Dear
Sweetheart" in the letter addressed to
him. denies that he ever heard of Mrs.
Gray. .
Another strange feature of the case Is
that Miss Olivia Parker, of New Orleans,
who Is made the "legatee of Mrs. Gray's
estate. Is Tier niece, and. instead of being
a colored girl, as Mrs. Gray wrote, de
clares she is white, without a trace of
negro blood.
The letters written by Mrs. Gray, whose
husband is said to have . been a welN
known Chicago broker, a short time be
fore she shot herself, while alone Jn her
elegantly furnished suite, are pathetic in
the extreme. Apparently she realized
that she never could marry the man her
heart desired, and refused to live without
his being constantly near her. She was
about 28 years old.-
Writes Before She Dies.
One letter began:
Dtar Sweetheart When I called you up on
Jbe t:phone you talked so cruelly to me
that I vent out and bought a revolver. In
tending to do ilt thenr I was brought up in
a convent, and my religion teaches against
such things, but I can't stand It any longer.
Here there was a break in the letter,
and when It was continued.it was with
different Ink.
Again and again have you disappointed me.
Charley. "What In God's name have I done 3
If you were anxious to get rid of me that
were eaEy. "Why did you have me come to
New York ? Here I am as ycur wife. If you
had said, "Ollle. I don't want you to re
turn," I would never have done so. "Well.
Charley, this Is the last. I wish you all
the luck In the world.
Here the writer seemed to have paused,
and no more to have been written for
awhile. It resumed:
How I am suffering! I cannot stand It any
longer. It is nojv past 4 o'clock.
A fourth letter left by the woman was
found, which was addressed to Charles
Stoneham, and read in part as follows:
I love you better than my life. I love you
so much, and to think T have to go and
lea.ve you. I hate to die. The little I have
'after my hills are paid, I wish to be sent
to Olivia Parker, 1523 St. Andrews street.
New Orleans. I have a. lot of furniture I
had shipped from New Orleans. I wish also
that returned to New Orleans to Olivia
Parker, a colored girl, as I have no re
lations. 1 .
This letter was signed "Mrs. Gray."
Mrs. Grace Stanford, who lives at 62
West Sixty-sixth street, said that she.
knew Mrs. Gray very well. She -said that
Mrs. Gray's husband, who was a wealthy
Chicago man, died in May of last year in
New Orleans, and that after his death
Mrs. Gray came to New York and took
apartments with her. She stayed until
some time after Thanksgiving.
"Mrs. Gray met Charles Stoneham in
the early Fall." said Mrs. Stanford. "He
is a Jersey City man, married and with
a family. A few days ago a little son of
his was drowned, and after the son's
'deatK he determined to give up Mrs. Gray.
He called her up and told her so. Mrs.
Sister of Mrs. Gray Says Her Daugh
ters Are Not Octoroons.
NEW ORLEANS. May 6. Mrs. Angy
Parker, living at 1932 St. Andrews
street, admitted today that she was a
sister of Mrs. J. W. Gray, the Hotel
Imperial suicide. Miss Olivia Parker, a
beautiful young woman, -who lives with
her. Is the person to whom Mrs. Gray
devised her personal effects. Mrs. Par
ker Insisted that she and her daughters
were not octoroons, but white.
With respect to the reference In Mrs.
Gray's letter to Olivia Parker as a
colored girl, and her statement that
she had no relatives, Mrs. Parker said
that her sister evidently desired to
spare their feelings. Mrs. Parker said
her sister was born In New Orleans,
and of excellent parentage. About 15
years ago she was married to J. W.
Gray, a wealthy Chicago man. Mrs.
Parker said Mrs. Gray's husband had
lavished diamonds and other Jewelry
on her and that she must have had
many of these articles with hef In New
York. She said she knew of Mrs. Gray's
affair with Stoneham.

WILL SEE COYOTE HUNT
PLOT AGAINST BRAZIL.
Spaniard's Vast Dreams of Empire
t
Vanish Into Vapor.
MADRID. May 6. Sarrion de Herrora.
former king-at-arms of the Spanish court,
has been arrested at the Instance of the
Brazilian Minister here on the charge of
conspiring with others against the gov
ernment of Brazil. A search of the resi
dence of Senor de Herrora resulted In the
discovery of a number of commissions for
officers who were to organize an army in
the State of Kunani. The commissions
bore the stamp of that state.
The Brazilian Minister here confirms the
discovery of the plot. A published detail
taken from the captured documents
shows that the plot" was financed by a
committee having headquarters in London
and which had long been working for the
Independence of the Kunani territory.
This territory Is between the northern
frontier of Brazil and French Guiana. It
is stated that the committee, with a view
to controlling the gold mines of Kunani,
had been organizing an Insurrection and
had recruited men in England, France and
Spain, who were represented as colonists
but who Iri reality were intended event
ually to become soldiers.
Documents taken from De Hcrrora's
residence show that the organization was
proceeding on a vast scale, and that near
ly 4000 men had already been recruited In
England. 4000 In France and 4000 in Spain,
among the last named being Included
many Spanish, .reserve officers, some of
wnom are actually serving as active o ra
cers. An ex-revolutlonary Spanish Cap
tain holds a commission as Colonel in the
future army of Kunani. and It is stated
that he is already receiving pay through
an English banking-house at which funds
are deposited.
The Spanish authorities were notified,
and acted promptly, and the arrest of De
Herrora followed.
Exponent of Iowa Idea Denounces
Senate for Pigeonholing Treat
ies Postmaster Compton
on Tyranny of Trusts.
CHICAGO, May 6. Need of better reci
procity between the United States and
foreign countries, and danger of a dimin
ished trade for America If treaties are
not effected, were pointed out at a lunch
eon given to many foreign Consuls by the
Chicago Commercial Association at tho
Auditorium Hotel this afternoon.
"Urge Congress for legislation that will
assure better foreign commercial rela
tions," declared Governor Albert B. Cum
mins, of Iowa.
Alfred M. Compton. the Postmaster,
said" the meeting was "the first gun fired
to make Chicago the center of foreign
trade for the United States." The second
gun will be fired October 9, when Mayor
Dunne, at a public dinner, will be called
upon to taUe a stand for foreign commer
cial expansion.
Mr. Compton, In addressing Governor
Cummins and W. A. Harris, ex-United
States Senator from Kansas, referred to
the teamsters' strike. Mr. Compton said:
Tyranny of Trusts and "Unions.
"Perhaps the time has about arrived
when it will be necessary to teach all
men the lesson that the most priceless
thing possessed by the people of this
country is the supremacy of the laws.
The time has already come to teach the
American vandal that is In this land that
the law is supreme and must be enforced.
I do not wish to have it inferred that I
am against organization of laboring men
or anybody else, but the American peo
ple are against tyranny, whether it shows
Itself In the guise of a great labor union
or conscienceless trust. The business men
have a right to use the streets unmolest
ed, and every right to earn a living and
receive adequate protection In their rights.
The time has probably arrived to teach
some people of this country that when
ever an organization or association of
men becomes so numerous, so well or
ganized and so powerful, and willing and
desirous to abuse such power, as to detfr
these rights and the supremacy of the
law, tho people of this cpuntry will see
that they are taught that the one su
preme fact of the landis respect fqr'law
and order." " ,
Cummins on Iteclproclty.
Governor Cummins said.: "Canada has
been knocking at our doors for years for
free trade, and we blindly rejected her
advances, until now I fear the days of
opportunity arc forever closed. A few
years ago the most distinguished diplomat
and economist of the onlted biates. a
citizen of Iowa; under tho appointment
and guidance of William McKlnley, nego
tiated a series of treaties, the sole pur
pose of which was to help us In the fight
which we were making In other lands,
especially for a market for our agricul
tural products. The treaties went to the
Senate with the approval of the President,
whose broad vision was able to perceive
the fundamental truth that we could not
permanently sell everything and buy
nothing. And they have lain ever since
In the dust and neglected archives of a
Senate which refused even to discuss or
consider them. We are now threatened
with entire exclusion from the markets of
Germany unless we take up the subject of
reciprocal trade and make some fair bar
gain with that nation."

Worthlngton's Party to Visit the In
terior of Umatilla County.
ECHO. Or., May 6. (Speclal.)-General
Manager Worthington, of the 6. R. & M.:
Senator Fulton. W. W. Cotton. R. B. Mil
ler, Tom Richardson and other members
of the party who are in Eastern Oregon
as the guests of Mr. Worthington, will
make a tour of the Interior of Umatilla
County Sunday, under the escort of rep
resentatives of the Citizens' Association
of E;ha. The primary purpose of the trip
Is to acquaint the members of the party
with the possibilities of the district as
regards Irrigation and development In
other lines.
One of the features of the trip will be
a coyote hunt, which has been arrangea
for the visitors by the association. A
large pack of greyhounds has been gath
ered together and -will be taken on the
Journey. There are many coyotes In the
county, and It Is anticipated that some
f-xcltlng rport will be the rotult.
A novel method of capturing the coy
otes Is employed. The hounds arc taken
In the vehicles and kept out. of sight.
Tho coyotes, being somewhat used to the
sight of teams passing through the coun
try, pay but little attention to the trav
eler and stand off some distance to
watch the passing of the travelers. When
near enough the dogs are turned loose
and are thU3 enabled to have tnore of an
even chance with their wild cousins. The
scheme was brought to the community by
an Englishman, who has rid the country
of a hundred of the pests In the past few
months.
Mr. Worthington and his party will re
turn to Portland Monday morning.

step was taken today In the fight by
prominent Kaneas Cltyans to kill the
franchise recently passed by the City
Council giving Hugh McGowan and others
of Indianapolis a franchise to furnish the
