MORE MYSTERY IS ADDED TO THE MATTHEWS CASE Close Friend of Actress Who Committed Suicide v Shoots Himself NJO CAUSE IS KNOWN Letters Left by the Woman May Throw Light on ; • Tragic Deeds '• COLORADO SPRINGS, July 30.— Ai::os R. Rumbaugh of Washington, TJ. C. c , a close friend of Miss Laura Mat *hews. the young actress who com rutted Kuicide near'Broadmoor Sunday night, added horror and mystery to the srewsome case by shooting himself through the head this afternoon in the s^ame manner adopted by Miss Mat tliows. Physicians say that he will die. . Humbaugh shot himself in his room at the Alta Vista lioteL The hour when ih*> shot was fired Is not known, aS !t V ]f* not heard by any one in the hotel a#*3 the deed was discovered only : when policemen went to his room to ascertain why he had not responded to the subpena to attend the coroner's inquest in, the Matthews case today. That the *iot of Rumbaugh was the direct result of the death of .Miss Mat tliews Is not doubted. He was to have appeared this afternoon as a witness at the coroner's inquest to tell what he .knew of his friend's tragic ending. Tiumbaugh claimed to be but a chance acquaintance of the girl, but it has, /'developed that he knew her in Chicago and also knew C. A- Coey. the wealthy Ohicagoan, and Dr. -H. A. Thomas of °th* "101" ranch. He was frequently a member of " parties at which Miss Matthews and the men referred to were \u25a0.members. , '• •. Fiumbaugh was tbe one who accom panied Miss Green, the nurse, to the 3jv.ery stable about 5 o'clock Monday tnorning. to see if. the actress' horse hind returned. It -was he who sent .the telegram to Coey demanding that he "do the right thing by the girl," and it j nas with him that Miss Matthews leTti t!ic = letter in which was Inclosed an other letter .to Coey.. t ; ' \u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0;. The officers have not yet examined ; Rumbaugh's papers and effects. • If ::Btrmbaugh did not destroy the letter ; '-left.. him -by Miss Matthews, together rVJivith the letter to Coey, It is believed .-.t-iieywill show startling facts that may • Titangie many people of prominence. "".The telegram sent by Rumbaugh to -Coey Monday morning,' taken- -in the light of his attempted suicide, had more meaning than before. It was as fol lows": - l , \u25a0\u25a0• :*Lanira-committed suicide on account *oT you. Letters left behind. • Send $300 at once for expenses." The" police say that the letter shows that Rumbaugh knows Coey well "enough to speak to him of "Laura" and iSir^aten him. Rumbaugh is about 28 years old nnd 5s a son of a wealthy Washing ton, D. C, family. A service medal of honor shows that he served with dis tinction in the Tenth Pennsylvania in fantry in the' Philippines. „ At midnight Rumbaugh's death •was cxp«*otod° hourly. Two brief notes are all that exist re garding the ypung man's attempted suicide. One note addressed "To whom it may coqeern" roads as follows: "Ship my body to Mrs.. J., H. Rum bau^h. Mount Pleasant,. , Pa .' Notify the Travelers' insurance company, of Hartford. Conn., and the Fraternal Or der of Eaples of Scottdale. Pa. "AMOS RICHARD RUMBAUGH." \u25a0' Th.:- second note was addressed to his motlifir, Mrs. J. H. Rumbaugh at the " abnw address. One note says: "Xtear Mother: There is nothing for riie to say why I did this awful deed, >o lay my body away to rest. I have \u25a0 about $350 on jny person; you arid Charlie settle things up. Your son, 'RICHARD A. RUMBAUGH.',' It was learned., through a guest ,of tfhe hotel where Miss Matthews was registered that she feared Rumbaugh, who was infatuated with her. She is said to have told acquaint • ances that she was afraid to go back c late at night to the hotel for fear her admirer would blow her brains out as she passed North park. Miss Tille Green, who came here with Miss Matthews, and who .had acted in the capacity of nurse. Is un c der police surveillance pending the findings of the inquest. Miss Green declares she knows noth ing of Coey"s relations with Miss Matthews. With regard to Rumbaugh's attempted suicide this afternoon Miss Green had the following to say: Buinbangb was \u25a0 desperately in lore with Laura. He had previously told me that he was engaged to marry her, that they would so east en their honeymoon, etc. He did not know Coey. but seemed to take a boyish dellpbt In describing how he would go : to Cbicaeo and parade his bride In front of tbe millionaire manufacturer. When I : told Rumbangb that Laura bad committed suicide he .< seemed -like one possessed. He swore that he \u25a0 would jro to Chicago end till Coey * and his entire motlTe from that time until his suicide seemed to be that of rerenge on Coey. He killed himself through lore of the giii. .

SUBPENAS ARE ISSUED ] United States Senator J)u pbnt Is at Head of . the Combine 1 WASHINGTON, Joly 30<— The Korern- ! ment filed today In " the United States ' circuit court at Wilmington, Del., a petition against E. I. dv Pont de \omours & Co., the E. I. dv Pont de Xemours powder company of Sew Jer «el. 24 other corporations ' and 17 Indi viduals connected vrltli the 26 -corpora tions which arc made, defendants' In the petition. The petition 'relates 'that all of the defendants are engaged in / interstate trade and commerce in : gunpo^'d»r and other high \u25a0 explosives and are vio lating the act- of July 2, .1890, known as the Sherman antitrust act."; lt seeks to prevent > and restrain' the unlawful existing agreements, contracts,- com binations and conspiracies in restraint of such trade and commerce, to prevent and restrain the attempts upon the part of the defendants to • monopolize : such trade and commerce, and;, to dis- ' solve - the existing ; monopolies • therein. The court is asked to" determine whether public Interests will _be bet ter subserved by the appointment of .re- '\u25a0 ceivers to take possession of the prop erty of the alleged trust with a view to' bringing about conditions "in trade and commerce that will be harmonious with : the law. "The prayer In -this re spect Is identical r with that in^ the so called tobacco trust petition. i .:, j The defendants, it is alleged, al ready have a complete monopoly of the production and distribution of smoke less ordnance powder, in • addition to the monopoly of 95 per cent of the production of explosives other than smokeless powder. The government asks ' in its prayer for relief that these operating com panies be enjoined and .restrained from operating and engaging in interstate commerce In the United States or that receivers be appointed to take* over their business. The government also asks that cer tain capital stock In other companies of the various holding companies . shall be adjudged unlawful and void and that the defendants shall be restrained from carrying on alleged unfair competition against. 26 independent firms, which 'at the time of: the filing of the' petition were engaged in the manufacture, ship ment and sale of blasting powder and dynamite In the United States, in law ful' competition with the.defendants.
