PREFERED DEATH TO DISGRACE
Two Busted Bankers of Berlin Blow
Out Their Brains.
An Associated Press dispatch Berlin, Germany, to the At¬

states that a sensation was caused in fi¬
nancial and social circles in that city Sat -
urday by the collapse of the bankin'- in
stution of Friedlander & Summerfield.
The usual scenes of excitement among
depositors anxious to secure their money,
occurred around the offices of the firm,
and the effect upon the creditors may be
imagined when announced that the had¬
ing partner of the concern, together with
his son, had committed suicide. The
failure is associated with the recent sus¬
pension of Bankers Hirshfield & Wolff.
As the facts in tbe case de¬
veloped, it appeared that the
father and son met in their office in the
bank at an early hour in the morning and
discussed the crisis in their affairs. Af¬
ter talking over the matter, prtfand con,
they concluded that, as they would were hope¬
lessly embarrassed, they die. It
is understood that this resolution to take
their own lives was due, in a great meas¬
ure. to the fact that their arrest on a
criminal charge was impending. death Hav¬
ing arrived at the decision that was
prefferable to arrest and disgrace, both
father and son shot themselves in the
head, using revolvers.
The firm has been in existence for a long
time, and held a good position in the fi¬
nancial world. It had a solid reputation
as a steady-going house. Its customers,
who belonged chiefly to the middle class,
were scattered throughout the empire.
The police took charge of the firm’s office,
and have placed seals upon the safes.
