WOMEN' SHY AT DEATH
BY SUICIDE ROUTE
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept., 18—
Only one-third as many women as men
commit, suicide, according to a suivcy
of California vital statistics made by
L. E. Ross, statistician of the state
board of health. The survey was for
the period beginning January 1, 1911
and ending December 31, 1919. Dur
ing that period 7,801 persons died in
California by their own hand.
Suicide by firearms, Ross found,
was the most used method, accounting
for forty-five percent of the total. Poi
son was next and asphyxia third. The
suicide rate among Orientals was
greater than any other race and the
average age of persons who died by
their own agency was 42 years, which
Ross pointed obt, was eight years un
der their llfe^xpectancy as shown by

Judge Brown and I. Hamburger
NEW YORK, Sept., If— Convinced
beyond any reasonable doubt that the
Wall street explosion last Thursday
noon was deliberate work of Radicals,
*
the Department of Justice has spread
a dragnet over the entire United
States in efforts to trap the originat
ors.
Spurred by rewards now aggregat
ing $20,000 offered by New York City
and accident and insurance companies,
police, former citizens and soldiers
have lent their aid to the Federal au
thorities.
The belief that the bomb explosion
and tragedy was due to a Radical plot
has been increased by finding Radical
'literature in a mail box near the
of the explosion. This literature was
found shortly after the explosion. The
literature is said to be similiar to that
found in connection with the Terror
ist’s plot of last year. The literature
was by “American Anarchistic fight*
