Oazkland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 23. ‘With $160 in gold and a bank book showing a credit of $2500 in his posses- sion, a young man, who is. supposed to be Max Scasso, a Swiss, committed sui- cide last night by drinking carbolic acid in a barn near Niles. The body was found this morning. Near it lay an empty vial that had contained | the deadly fluid. Nelther letters, papers nor other means of identification, other than the bank book, was found on the remains. The book is that of a Reno, Nev., bank. | The coroner took charge of the body and also of the valuable possessions of the young suicide. Scasso, for such is th2 name on the bank book, appears to have been about 3 or 30 years of age. No one in Niles or thereabouts could identify him. That he 'was an utter stranger in that locality is certain. The coroner has begun an investigation, in the hope of discovering an explanation of the peculiar case. ] DEFENDS BRUTALITY IN MODERN WARFARE NEW YORK, April 23.—The St. George's | Society of New York held its one hundred | and sixteenth dinner to-night at Delmon- | Distinctly English features 'were | introduced in the parading of the royal barons of beef around. tne room to the tune of “The Roast Beef of Old Eng- land,” the eating of the plum pudding | ith appropriate honors, the singing of | ‘Soldiers of the Queen” and toasting of'! he King.

'VICTORIA, B. €., April 2.—News was received by the steamship Yangtse to- day of an intrigue of the British for the seizure of the Malay state of Patani, Which has resulted in the kidnaping of the Rajah of that State by the Siamese.

By dint of the coup which cul- minated in the kidnaping of the Rajah, he outplaye. John Buil's agent, and Patani is still under the suzerainty of Siam.' The Stamese have spies watching every move of Annadale, and two at- tempts were made to poison him. The Rajah was lured to a house in Pa- tani by the Siamese Minister, and therc was asked to sign a treaty whereby Le was practically to abjure the right of governing of his own state. 1t was late at night, and there were few of the Rajah's bodyguard present. These were driven back by. Siame®e soldiers, while others laid hands on the Rajah and carried him off to a Slamese gunboat, which was-wait- ing In readiness at a landing near by. Three attendants were carried’ off with | him, but he was not allowed to send for his wife or his cash. The telegraph op- erators, who were in the employ of Siam, were warned beforehand not to telegraph | news of the kidnaping, and, although the | incldent took place on February 20, it was inot until a month later that the news j was received in Singapore, : was carried by messengers. whither it 'he messenger reported that the Pa- tani Malays were frantic, and the situa- tion was serious in both Patani and Ke- lantan, the Rajah of the latter state be- ing a relative of the kidnaped Rajah.

Seattle Official Wins a Naval Officer’s Former Wife. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, April 23.—It developed to- day that Bessie Hawes Hetherington, the divorced wife of Lieutenant Commander Hetherington, U. S. N., was married here last Friday to John W. McConnaughey of Seattle, Treasurer of King County. Mrs. McConnaughey was Bessie Hawes, a graduate of Vassar College, when she married Hetherington in Trinity Chureh, ‘Washington, in 1889. It was a navy wed- ding, and many notables attended the ceremony. Three years later Mrs. Hetherington went to Japan to meet her husband, who had been ordered there. She was in Yo- kohama a month before her husband's ship, the Marion, arrived, and during this tme she became acquainted with George Gower Robinson, a wealthy English banker, whose good looks, fast horses and dashing manners made him conspicuous in the foreign colony. When Hethering- ton learned of the attentions Robinson had paid his wife he shot Robinson as they met on the street. He was acquitted in the Consular Court, but the case caused such feeling that a number of English- men decided to lynch the American offi- cer, but the pl#n was foiled. Letters and a confession had been read at the trial and Hetherington was expect- €d to.divorce his wife, but he forgave her and they lived together for six years thereafter. Then Mrs. Hgtherington came to the United States to her people in Delaware, while her husband remained on duty at Mare Island Navy Yard, near San Francisco. Last October for divorce on the ground of desertion, and a decree was granted in February, no contest being made. By the Delaware court decision Mrs. Hetherington was given possession of her baby boy, but the custody of the daughter, who was a baby Wwhen the tragedy occurred, was awarded to_Hetherington.
