The Widow Says Her Husband Had | Threatened Suicide and Her Sister Hints at an Es- trangement. A young Ne college man been weaithy, Eugene, a rg York jeweler, evidently a and reputed to have once committed sulcide in the yming house at 265 O'Farrell strect, Sunday afternoon. Chauncey A. | Hawkins was the despondent man's nagme, | ind he killed himseif by taking morphine. He left a letter giving financial troubles | | and lack of employment as the causes of his desire for death. But an estrange- | ment with his wife is hinted at. | Hawkins' wife resides at 752 South | | Spring street, Los Angeles. He came to | The Eugene a week ago and little is | known of him. On Sunday at 11 a. m. | the Japanese bedmaker knocked at the | door for the purpose of making the bed | and was answered by Hawkins from | within that he need not come in, as he | was turning in for a nap. The body was | | found yesterday forenoon and decomposi- | tion had proceeded so fast that the corpse. was black and the air of the room was | unbearable. In the right hand of the| dead man was a handkerchief pressed | against the nostrils, and in the vest ‘]Nr;ik('l was a paper box containing mor- Pphine. | Letters found on the person of the sui- cideshowed that he was a Jeweler and had but recently arrived from New York | City, where he had many college friends, who' seemed to be very much surprised at his recent marriage.

Once more, ar, 1 embrace you and entreat you tu, if it 'be possible, remember me for good." + When Mrs. Hawkins was seen last night at the Victoria Hotel, in Los Angeles, where she occupies a Suite, she was too ill to converse at any length regarding the death of her husband. She had not | been officially notified of his demise and | clung to the hope that an error in iden- | tity had been made. | _“There are many Hawkinses in this world,” she said. The widow's sister stated that Hawkins came to Los Angeles one and a half years ago and that at one time he was wealthy, but was not now, and had gone to San Francisco a week ago to seek employ- ment. He managed some years ago a je:';]ry business in New York City, she said. While he was but 23 years of age, Haw- kins' suicide was not” unexpected. Mrs. Hawkins said that he had threatened to do away with himself on many previous occasions. He leaves no children and be- sides his wife his only known relative is Mrs. C. M. Hawkins, 350 Fulton street, Jamaica, N. Y. That a possible estrangement existed between husband and wife is based on ihe statement made by the sister that the deceased had always sald that he pre- ferred and so wished that his mother should be notified of his death and that she would look after his remafns.

It Was Decided Yesterday at a Con- ference of the Harbor Commis- sioners and Property Own- ers to Do the Work. L ‘The Harbor Commissioners, some repre- sentatives of the Chamber of Commerce and a number of property owners on Channel strect held a conference vester- day in the new ferry depot. Channel street or Misslon Creek has been silting up for the past vear and now there is hardiy water enough for the lumber vessels to reach their dock. The entire creek as far | as tid cr is controiled by the Harbor Commission, and the interested parties are anxious that the board should dredge the waterway to a sufficient depth to enable the lumbes fiect to enter and leave at all stages of the tide. D o O e e e ] R R S o SR SR S SO D oY T Posvr RACHrzo o P B e o e e e S James Tyson said that between Third and Fourth streets and Channel the navi- gation was fairly e but that great dif- ticuity was experienced in getting the ves- sels alongside the wharf.

One piece struck Jorgen- sen on the chin and cut his lip through. His wound was dressed by, Drs. Robinson and Bauer at the Harbor Hospital. Water Front Notes. The Hawailan bark Roderick Dhu will sail pext Thursday for Hilo with the merican flag flving from her jack. On that day the islands become a portion of United ‘States territory, and the clipper will therefore be entitled to fly the stars and stripes from that date on. The Roderick Dhu will take away all the cargo she can carry, while her cabin will be crowded with passengers. The British ship Kensington got away for Burope yesterday. She had laid in the stream for ‘a fortnight awaiting a crew, but finally secured her men and sailed. The Kosmos liner Luxor safled for Ham- burg via Central and South ports yesterday. She took away every pound of freight she could carry and con- {lderable merchandise had to be left be- nd. The State tug Governor Pefkins struck a shag near Lime Point Sunday and lost \all the blades of her propeller. She was towed to the {uarantine station at Angel Island and will come to the city to-day for an overhauling. — There is no headache In Jesse Moore whiskey. That’s because it is pure. THOMAS PRINGLE IS ASPHYXIATED IN BED Thomas Pringle, proprietor of a saloon at 901 Larkin street, was found dead yes- terday morning on a lounge in a room back of his saloon. The gas was turned on but unlighted and the barroom was filled with the suffocating fumes. Deputy Coroner Meehan found that the key of the gas fixture was so loose that even when it was turned off he could light the gas that escaped from the connection at the thumbplece. A note was found ad- dressed to his Enrkeeper and brother-in- law. Alfred 'y, requesting him to put ;): :rnme water in the morning for the gflngle was a married man, 47 years old, and a native of Scotland. There is little doubt that the death was acci- dental. The deceased lived with his wife at 1020 Sutter street, but it was his habit to sleep In the room back of the saloon whenever his business kept him up late. —_—— Getting out a paper, let us print it for you— that's cur business.

Extension of Pound Limits to County Line Discussed and Referred to Jcint Committee on Po- lice and Streets. o Pl An ordinance was passed to print at yes- terday’s meeting of the Board of Super- visors imposing license taxes upon per- sons, firms and corporations engaged in | the business of loaning money at interest, receiving deposits, discounting notes or warrants or buying and selling gold and silver coin or currency or notes or bills of exchange and gold and sflver builion; also providing for the examination by the Tax Coliector of such persons, firms and cor- porations touching the amount of their receipts. Following are the graduated licenses: Those whose total receipts shall exceed the sum of $2,000,000 per quarter quarter; over $1,000,000 and less than $1,500,000, $400 per quarter; over $500,000 and less than §1,000,000, $200 per quarter; under $500,000, $100 per quarter. Each license issued under the provisions of the ordinance is to be designated “banker’s license,” and a sworn statement or an affidavit must be made that all questions touching the receipts have been truly answered. The eftect of the ordinance will be that in future large revenues will accrue to the city from the banks that hitherto have been practically exempt from license taxes. On Brandenstgin's motion the Judicia Committee was directed to frame an or- dinance raising the license on pawnbrok- ers from $31 to $60 per quarter. The ordinance providing for the ex- tension of the pound limits to the county line was up for final passage before the board. After a long discusston, in which citizens were heard on both sides of the question, the bill was referred to the joint committee on Police and Strcets for a tion. The committee will meet Wedne: day, June 20, at 4 p. m., to hear final ar- gument. Garret McEnerney, attorney for the Dairymen’s Union, addressed the board in opposition to the proposed ordinance He represented that it it were passed it would be impossible for the members of the a: sociation to conduct their business, as it would be under the surveillance of the poundkeeper. The industry had $100,000 in- vested, a payroll of $6000 and 2000 men em- ployed. The land occupied for dairy uses was not fit for any other purpose and the owners would be en elsewhere. Mc- S on the same lines on, chairman of the Dairy- men’s Union; Henry Levy of the Butc ers’ Board of Tradé, H. Sherwood of the Produce Exchange and T. J. Parsons of the State Board of Trad Mr. Parsons held that no onerous restriction should be placed on a legitimate business that was not detrimental to the iterests of the community. C. H. Holbrook, secretary of the So- ciety for Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals. denied a charge made by one of the speakers that the pound employ escape. Reed said that e done to prevent ca ut the public streets. tain regulations on that point without ex- tending the pound limits to where the a tual business of dairying is carried on. His motion to recommit the ordinance to a joint committee prevailed. Miscellaneous Business. An ordinance imposing a licefise of $100 for each annual intercollegiate football game, to be paid prior to the commence- ment of the game, was indefinitely pos poned. A resolution was adopted directing the rejection of the demand of the Mutual Savings Bank for the refunding of $23,- 604 10 taxes paid under protest. Ordinances giving authority to the Coro- ner to appoint a#matron for the Morgue at a salary of $60 per month; to the Re- corder to appoint two index clerks and one messenger; to the County Clerk to appoint a messenger, and to the Sheri to appoint four guards to superintend the work of prisoners on the jail farm and county roads were laid over for one week. The City Attorney was directed to re der an opinion as to whether the South ern Pacific Company has ownership in fee of the land situated on Sherman avenue, between Wyoming avenue and the old San Jose road, whereon is erected an ob- structing fence. Shea & Shea were authorized to emplo; a watchman to look after the pers property of the city located in the Hall of Justice and Morgue buildin, An ordinance was passed to print au- thorizing the appointment by the board of an assistant clerk to be assigned to the stationery department at a salary of $125 per month and fixing his bond at $5000. The clerk of the board was directed to advertise for proposals for printing 1500 volumes containing municipal reports, the whole cost not to exceed $5000. Every department, board and commis- sion was directed to render to the Mayor a full report of all their operations for the fiscal year 1500. The resolution providing for the selec- {ion of a site for the new City and County Hospital went over, pending the recom- mendation of the Board of Health. The ordinance empowering the Board of Health to quarantine districts in the city was finally passed. The ordinance regulating the construc- tion of theaters and providing for proper escape facilities in case of fire was finally passed. The ordinance was prepared by Commissioner Manson of the Board of Public Works and_is founded on the one now 1n effect in New York. 2 Supervisors Comte, Jennings, McCarthy and Connor were added to the Committee on Public Utilities. The Mayor announced that the Committee on Artificial Lights will meet to-morrow afternocon at 3 o’clock to consider the lighting of streets by in- candescent gas lamps. eferred to Committees.
