HOWELL TIRES OF EXISTENGE Notorious Counterfeiting Suspect Turns on the Gas. Former Man of Wealth Who Fell From Grace At- tempts Suicide. M. D. Howell, formerly a wealthy resi- dent of Stockton and who gained noto- riety some time ago through his alleged connection with a gang of counterfeiters, made two attempts to kill himself last Friday night. He rented a room at the St. David's House, at 715 Howard street, and prepared to die. After partly disrobing he stuffed the keyhole with paper and then turned on the gas. Howell's heavy breathing shortly after- ward attracted the attention of one of the yoomers, and he notified the clerk. The Jatter, after forcing an entrance to the room, found Howell lying on the floor, partly stupefied from the effects of the escaping gas. He was resuscitated after considerable work, and as he promised not to make another gttempt on his life the Ppolice were not called in. About &n hour later Howell again turned on the gas, after securely locking the door and closing the transom. Suspecting that he might make a second attempt to take his own life, the clerk a short time afterward went to the room occupled by Howell and falling to get a response to his repeated knocking on the door quickly summoned two policemen to the house. Says He Will Yet Xill Himself. Failing to arovse Howell and being un- able to gain an entrance to his room the officers broke down the door. Lying on the bed, with a sheet wrapped around his body, was Howell. The room was filied with gas that flowed from two burners. Howell was In an almost unconscious con- dition, but recovered soon after being car- ried into the fresh air. As he admitted that he had been drinking the officers summoned the patrol wagon and had him Jocked up on a charge of drunkenness. After being released yesterday morning he told the desk sergeant at the City Prison that h icide. The world is against me,” he pitifully remarked, as tears coursed down his cheeks, “and I am determined to end it all. Broken in health irit and with- out friends or money I have nothing to live for, and want to die.” Howeil, befare leaying the prison, de- clared that he would put himself out of the way, even if he had to throw himself in fromt of a moving train. ‘Wife’s Large Estate Saved Him.

Judiciary Committee Finds Certified Checks Are . Insufficient.. The Judiclary Committes of the Board of Supervisors decided yesterday that four printing firms who had submitted bids for furnishing printed forms and blanks to various departments, officers and of- fices of the municipality had neglected to file certified checks covering 10 per cent of the estimated amount of printing called for in the proposals invited. The commit- tee further found that the charter makes it mandatory that the checks shall be for 10 per cent of the total amount. The committee, however, referred the ques- tion back to the board without recommen- datfon, as it was divided on the question of rejecting all bids and readvertising again. If the charter Is obeyed the course indicated must be followed. Chairman Brandenstein favored the re- Jection of all bids not accompanied by a sufficient check. This action would throw out the proposals of Phillips & Smyth, Valleau & Peterson, the Commerclal Pub- lishing Company and F. N. Steuart. Comte agreed with Brandenstein that the | checks should equal 10 per cent of the ag- | gregate amount called for in the pro- posals and not 10 per cent of the amounts required by the various departments, as had been the custom in the past. Comte, however, held that the bidders had bid in good faith and had further agreed to fil contract. He favored this course, but Brandenstein would not agree to it. The dispute between the printing firms will be taken up at the beard's meeting to-mor- Tow. The committee allowed the claim of L. W. Gerkey, Deputy Sheriff of Siskiyou County, for §137 45 for services rendered in executing & writ of habeas corpus. The claim must first be approved by Superior Judge Dunne. —_— GOES EAST ON MISSION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE Julius Raphael Leaves for Extended Journey Which May Include Trip to Europe.

' Starting at 7:30 o'clock they stopped at the City Hall and Mr. Burton left his card for Mayor Phelan. After a spin out Van Ness avenue back to Golden Gate avenue Mr. Bunker drove direct to the park and showed its features to his guest most thoroughly. Burton admired par- ticularly the Claus Spreckels music stand and was much impressed by its dignity and solidity. The drive continued around Stow Lake and out to the beach and the Cliff House. Coming back by Point Lobos avenue, part of the finer residence district ‘was traversed, and the Palace Hotel ver Y 1 was reached at 9:38. Mr. Burton left for | Placerviile at 10 o'clock. He will rejoin | the committee at Stockton. The entire Congressional party was | given a drive to the park in the afternoon.

LONDON, June 22.—The British bark Falkland, Captain Grace, from Tacoma, January 30, for Falmouth, with a cargo of grain, capsized and disappeared off Bishops Rock at 8 o'clock this evening. The Stagnes lifeboat at midnight brought ashore twenty men, the captain's wife and child and the second mate. The lat- ter says he fears that no others of the “ship’s company were saved. According to the mate's story a heavy wind early in the evening drove the Falk- land among the reefs and in endeavoring to clear them she struck on Bishops Rock, her main yard actually striking the light- house, and she overturned, sinking in a few minutes. Grave fears are felt concerning the safety of three other Liverpool grain boats—the bark Manchester, Captain Clemens, from New York, August 23, 1900, for Yokohama; the ship Aladdin, Captain Dutter, from Java, Noveniber 8, for Syd- ney, N.
