Esta- A MERE CHILD ~ THIES SUICIDE His Mind Affzcted Because of the Suicide of a Young Cousin. Arthur Cooke, Twelve Years 0.d, Takes Chloroform in a Basement. As His Mania Appears to Be Perma- nent He Is Ordered to an Asylum. OaxrAND Orrice 8ax FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, Feb. b A very unhappy case of suicidal mania developed last evening with the twelve- year-old son of the Rev. W. H. Cooke of 3244 Magnolia street. About dusk last evening the boy was found in the basement of the house by members of the family unconscious and a partly emptied bottle of chloroform was by his side. Dr. Legaunlt was at once called and found that the boy had not in- halea very much of the deadlv drug. He had evidently saturated a handkerchief with the chloroform and held it to his nose. As soon as unconsciousness over- came him the handkerchief dropped to his side and thus saved his life. For nearly two months the boy has been afflicted with a desire to end his life. This unhappy declsion was arrived at when his cousin, Frank Locke, committed suicide by taking poison and cutting his throat in Golden Gate Pa Since that time the boy has frequently appeured to be tem po- rarily deranged and has expressed the de- sire to end his life. He has told his father that he might as well be dead, as the world did not need him. The boy was examined this afternoon before Judge Greene,and from tbe evi- dence and the testimony of Drs. Todd and Selfridge the lad was deciared irre- sponsible and was sent to an asylum. Te was greal uncertainty as to how he procured the chloroform, bat this afternoon Dr. Bodle, who keeps a drue- store on San Pablo avenue, cleared it up. “The other day Mrs. Cooke came to my store,” “and got a bottle of chio- roform, explaining that she was suffering from toothache. The woman said she was Mrs. Cooke, but I do not know her, although I know the Rev. Mr. Cooke very well. Yesterday a.ternoon the young Cooke came to my store for another botile of chloroform, saying that his mother was still suffering from the toothache, so I gave the drug.” The Rev. W. H. Cooke was at one time pastor of the North Oakiand Congrega- tional Church, but at prasent he is not in charge of any churcn. He ascribes his son’s mania to the influence of the suicide of bis cousin, young Locke. The child felt about a year ago and injured his head, and for several months his sight was affected. He recently told Eddie James, & schoolmate, that he wanted to commit suicide, but that he had no gruodge against anybody, and he has frequently told his companions that he wanted to die.

Although the Oakland Fire Department proved to the jud:es of the horse show that it could make a better turnout than any other department on the Pacific Coast the Finance Committee of the City Coun- cil begrudges the small amount that was expended by permitting the department to exhibit.

OAKLAND, CAL., Feb. 5.—The Army and Navy Republican League have de- cided that all members who do not stand by their obligations to support National, State an¢ municipal Republican tickets shall be dropped from the roll. Asa com- | mencement Harry Inwall was expelled last night because he was at the Tax- payers’ Convention which nominated Mayor Davie. In this connection a very interesting complication has arisen, ior while the league was in session expelling Inwall for indorsing Davie for Mayor the Republican City Central Commiitee was also in ses- sion and appointed J, 8. Colburn, a Popu- list,as the nominee of their party from the First Ward, Now several of the veterans are asking how, in view of last nights action, they can conscientiously vote for Populist Colburn when one member has been expelled for saying a word in favor of Populist Davie.

OAKLAND, CAL, ¥eb. 5.—The washout on the Laundry Farm road was repaired early this morning are running as usua Water in the arroyo at Livermore has run past the L-street crossinz for the first time this season. There is an old saying among the residents that unlsss the rain flow past L street, a good crop cannot be assured. Now they feel easy. The storm shows no sign of abatement about Decoto. Alameda Creek is again flowing bank full, and if the storm con- tinues it must soon break out and flood the country.

Councilman Kaufman in looking over the affairs at the City Hall to-day made the discovery that the bill entailed by senaing the crack team across the bay is | just $23, Mayor Davie and others paid for | the decorations, and the bill presented to the Council is simply the salaries of sub- stitutes, who were employed while the | winning team was being prepared and was | on_exhibition. The bill was presented by the Fire De- partment in the usual course, and at the last meeting of the Finance Committee it decided not to pay It. “In what other city on the face of ithe | earth would so little civic pride be shown | as over this matter?” ‘exclaimed the Mayor this morning, when his expert told | him of the condition of affairs. “Here we are with a valuable trophy on our hands, bearing witness to the fact that | we can make a finer showing than any | other Fire Department on the coast, and yet the cup 1s ailowed to be hidden away in a vault because of the in-! difference of two members of the Fire Commission. Common decency | should bhave suggested that as soon as the | cup-was received the F.re Commissioners | sbould have passed resolutions congratu- lating the department, accepting the cup on behaif of the City and making an ap- propriation of a few dollars to purchase a case in which it could be kept as an orna- ment in the office of the commission. | Instead of that, three months have passed |and the City Attorney will introduce a resolution at the next meeling bearing | testimony to the fact that they are aware that the Fire Department won the first prize. “1f such a thing bad happened in Los Angeles :here would have been a banquet, to which all the Fire Department would | have been invited, and the citizens would | not have ceased talking about it even by { this time, and I cannot understgnd why Measrs, Peirsol and Wilson should have | shown so miuch indifference or why Mr. | Manuel of the Finance Committee, who | bids good-by to politics in three weeks, should so suddenly have become economi. cal except for the simple reason that the idea of sending the team across the bay originated with Mayor Davie.” Alameda County’s Assessor office, and the increase in the amount of | T THE NEW FOOTBALL CAPTAIN . BERKELEY, CavL., Feb. 5.—"Bobby” K. Haskell '87 was unanimously elected captain of Berkeley's football team this afternoon. The thirteen men who by virtue of having played in the last intercollegiate game were entitled to vote for captain came tozether at 4 o'clock and in a few minutes’ time chose the man who is to lead the U. C. team or victory to defeat on next hanksgiving day. The other candidates for the place—Hall, Carr and Hutchinson—had withdrawn their names and the field was left clear for Haskell. He was practically elected outside of the meeting, but in order to make his captaincy valid the formality of a session of electors was necessary. His choice as leader of the football forces under the blue and gold meets with the hearty approval of the entire <tudent body. What cained the place for Haskell was }is conscientious and careful work while training, his dash and spirit woile at play, his knowledge of California players and his superior generalship. Though but a p'ayer of two years’ experience, he has made phenomenal devel- opment in the science and tactics of the game. = In his first two years at college he did not piay at all, but acquiring a fondness for the sport came out in his junior year. He was first piaced at end and then at quarter. So rapidly aid he improve that when the season of 1896 openea he was placed in charge of the second eleven, which he captained from his position at quarter. In all of the contests with the clubs during last fall Haskell played quarter during part of the game. In the intercollegiate he was call=d out to take the place ot Kennedy, who broke his nose during the last half. From the time he came on the ficld till the finish he kept the team going at a hot pace, which is his characteristic method. He accompanied the team on its Southern California tour, during the Christmas vacation, and played quarter in the first four games. Haskell hails from San Bernardino, where he graduated from the high school. He is now in his twenty-third year, stands5 feet 6 inches and welghs, stripped and when in training, 155 pounds. He is of stocky build and well muscied, especially across the chest and shoulders. Haskell entered college in '93 as a special, but after a time he changed his status to that of a regular student. Whaile nominally a member of the class of '97, he will not graduate in May, because of the change he made late in hi urse. He will return next term to make up the balance of his hours, and will take his degree in December.
