New York. William B. Travers, a millionaire, man of leisure, son of the celebrated Wall Btreet operator, William A. Travers, committed suicide on Friday by shooting himself through the bead in his apartments In Madison avenue. The suicide ts inexplicable, Mr. Travers being in the prime of life, In fair health and the possessor of a large fortune. When Mr. Travers arose Friday morning he appeared to be In excellent spirits and, after, breakfast, told his valet he would not require his services during the day. Shortly after noon a maid found Mr. Travers lying dead on his bed with a revolver by his side. He had placed the muzzie or the weapon In his mouth and sent a bullet through his brain. He left several letters, all relating to business affairs and giving no clue to the cause of the suicide. Mr. Travers never engaged In any business except when, about six months ago, as an experiment, he became a partner In the banking bouse of Hugh Eddy, the affairs of which, however, engaged little of his time. Mr. Travers, who was 49 years old. was a member of the Knickerbocker, the New York A. C., the Tennis and Racquet and many other clubs. PEACE WAS INEVITABLE.
