™ n>e Ban on Extravagance
Following the example set by some of the war
ring nations, a movement of some magnitude has been
inaugurated in the United States to instill a sense ot
economy in the people; it is a fact that we as a people
are the most extravagant in the world. If you are one
of the many Americans who ha\e never experienced
the feeling of safety and satisfaction engendered by
the possession of a savings account however modest,
JUST TRY IT. You can start it with a dollar, and the
start is the onlv diliieult part of it. Surmount that
difficulty TODAY.

Story of Suicide
Of Mrs. foreman
Mrs. Clara Foreman took her own
life last night at o’clock by
shooting herself through the heart
with a .22 caliber, Colts revolver, in
the presence of her two small chil
; dren, her husband and Dr. J. k.
Hawes. The tragedy occurred in a
tent the family were occupying on Glh
avenue and K street and her death
was instantaneous. /
Dr. K. O. kyvig was immediately
summoned but she was past all med
ical assistance and the body was re
moved to the Woods undertaking par
lors on F street where it awaits the
arrival of her brothers, kd and Henry
Haun. from Hope.
In the testimony of llert Foreman,
her husband, before the coroner’s jury
, this morning, he said that they were
married in knik the 11th day of July,
1913 and had resided most of the
time in Hope where he was employed.1
He said that their married life had
been happy and there was no further
testimony to refute this statement.
; Mrs. Foreman had been suffering,
| from illness and arrived in Anchorage
on the 9th of this month with the in
tention of leaving for the outside with
her two children, by a former marri
; age.
However, these plans were changed,
as it was learned today that Mrs.
Foreman has accepted a position with
the Hotel Anchorage and was to have
gone to work this morning. Mr.
Foreman arrived in Anchorage last
evening at (»:.**.(>, coming for medical
attention.
In the testimony of both Mr. Forc
' man and Hr. Hawes the fact was
brought out that there was apparently
no trouble between husband and wile
and Or. Hawes was only called in to
refute some ill-timed remark that had
been previously made regarding Mrs.
Foreman. Both gentlemen said that
she acted strangely and hud been cry
ing and soemde very much wrought
up over something, possibly over the
fact that she had been suffering over
the fact that she had been suffering
from a protracted illness. It seems
1 that si e was talking in a general way
and got up from the bed, where she
was seated with her luihsand. and
went to the foot of the bed, took the
revolver from under the bed clothes
and deliberately shot herself through
the heart.
According to the testimony she fell
down and while everything possible
was done she died at once. Both men
1 said the act was committed so uickqly
that they did not realibe what had
1 happened until the whole affair was
over.
There is no particular blame attach
o<l to any one and while she has often
been heard to say sha was tired of
life, not even her most intimate
friends anticipated such an end. The
revolver in question was given her by
Dr. Hawes upon her request and was
intended only as a means of self-pro
tection. This she substantiates in a
note written just previous to the sui
cide. That the death was premediat
ed is borne out by the note found in
the pocket of her skirt in which she
says she was tired of life and took
her life by her own hands. Her fath
er and mother reside in Gilroy, Cali
fornia, and that her last thoughts
were of them is evidenced in a furth
er message in the note asking that
they be spared the truth, of the man
ner of her death.—Anchorge Times.
THE STORY OF EX-CONVICT
WHO LIED HIS WAY TO
THE FRONT AND DIED
By J. W. PKGLER
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
LONDON, Sept. 1!>.— An ex-con
vict, veteran inmate of British pris
ons, today is mourned by his regiment
and Scotland Yard alike as one of
England’s war heroes. With a whole
list of convictions behind his name he
lied his way into the army, won the
Victoria Cross and finally made the
great atonement during the l»ig
Push. The story was told here today.
As a tribute to the burglar-hero
the War Office is shielding his name,
but Scotland Yard remembers him of
old. Mis bunkies in France recall
him as a hollow checked man. slightly
stooped, who took life* and death as
lightly as be* did the* prison sentences
imposed from time to time by glow
ering judges. Me had no relatives;
his only friends, who took part in hi*
forays against the law, are still in the
game of cracking safes and evading
arrest. Therefore his medal will be
come one of the treasures of a crack
regiment of fighters.
The dead Tommy had just been re
leased from prison when the war
broke out.
“Shaving water at nine,” he said
with a grin as the turnkey slammed
the door behind him the night before
his release. “I’m leaving early for the
front.”
“You’ll be back again in a month,”
growled the case hardened warden as
he switched off the lights in the tier.
Hut the convict shed his name and
police record with the prison greys
and eased by a lax recruiting officer.
In a few months hew as ankle deep
in the icy slush of the trenches, snip
ing through a loophole and running-in
with its officers for taking rash
chances. He was used to taking
chances and couldn’t see why they
didn’t go over the parapet and mix it
with the Germans.
At last his opportunity came. The

batallion went over with a howl and
the burglar-Tommy yelled with glee
as he ran firing his rifle from the hip.
In the excitement of the fight he be
came separated from the batallion. A
few yards away a German machine
gun crew in a pit was pouring deaM
into the charging ranks. Tommy ran
to the brink of the pit and killed th«*
crew. When the lines were reform
ed he was first disciplined for dis
obeying orders—he shouldn’t have
gone astray—and then commended for
his daring. Tommy merely smiled.
Shortly later he received the V. C. and
a furlough. The London police shook j
hands with him and bought him cig-i
arets.
Tommy went back to France and !
went over the parapets again in thej
Big Push. A big she1! killed him.
“He was a real enthusiast,” said a j
detective who used to round up the
dead hero in the old days. “He never I
went after a little job when we had
dealings with him and he played the
game to a finish in war.”

GERMAN COMPOSER OF
JAPANESE NATIONAL
ATHEM IS DEAD
’
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
TOKIO, Sept. 18.—Franz £ckkert,1
composer of the music of the Japan- j
ese National anthem, is dead. The
authorship of the “Kimigayo,” Jap
an's Star Spangled Danner, is disput
ed, but Japanese authorities admit
this Teuton had a claim upon the
song’s composition.
Eckkert, it is known here today,
died recently in Seoul, Korea. He was
<14. When foreign music first was in
troduced into Japan in 1877 he was
one of the leaders in establishing its'
popularity in Tokyo and other leading
cities of the empire.
At first Eckkert was attached to
the Navy office but later was transfer
red to Court,, where he succeeded an
American named Kenton as chief of
the Western music o the Court.
In 1897 a number of compositions,
from which one was to be selected as
the national air of Japan, were sub
mitted to the court musicians. Ac
cording to one story, Eckkert picked
one written by a Japanese, “retouch
ed” it and sent it forth as the “Kimi
gayo” of today. It is generally con
ceded, however, that the greater part
of the music was written by the Ger
man himself.
