Treasurer Becomes Despondgnt. Rents a Room in Lodging- House and Apglies Chloroform. Samuel Jacobs, -brother of Assistant United States Treasurer Julius Jacobs of this city, committed suicide last Sunday night in his room in the Burlington Lodg- ing-house on Market street by inhaling chloroform. Continued ill health and con- sequent reverses in business prompted the rash deed. Samuel had been a partner with his brother, Joseph Jacobs, in the business of manufaturers’ agents on Kearny street, but retired from the firm shortly before he left for Manila. His health was wrecked in that tropical coun- try and he was obliged to return to this city. He obtained employment as a book- keeper, but after a half day's attempt he found that he was not strong enough to Jift heavy account books and he re- signed. At 5:30 o'clock on Sunday afternoon he engaged a room at the Burlington and mailed a letter to his brother Joseph, in- forming him that he had gone to the Bur- lington for the purpose of committing suicide and that his body would be found in his room in the morning. When Jo- seph Jacobs opened his mail yesterday morning he was horrified on reading his brother Samuel’s letter. He hurried to the Burlington, and in company with the clerk entered the room and found the body of the suicide lying on the bed with a roll of cotton batting covering his mouth and nostrils and tied in place with a linen handkerchief. The batting had been saturated with chloroform. On the bureau were a bottle one-quarter full of chloroform, a kev and a business card, on the back of which the suicide had written in pencil: Please hand this key to my brother, Joseph Jacobs, room 14, Thurlow Block, 126 Kearny street. 1 have nothing to say for publication except that reverses caused by sickness is my only reason.

WASHINGTON, May 5.—A large dele- gation appeared before a sub-committee of the House Committee on Foreign Af- fairs in the interest of the Boers, Dr. J. C. Hexamer of the National German Al- liance speaking first. He described the heroic struggle of the Boers and urged the adoption of a resolution asking the President to communicate with Great Brit- ain an expression of sympathy for the Boers and expressing the hope that the unfortunate differences may be settled, He said that England at this time would {not take umbrage, being enfeebled with | the war. He sald he advocated the reso- | lutions as a Republican, and if they were pigeonholed it would mean the loss of a million_votes for the German Alliance. Dr. Keyser of the Boer legislative com- mittee said that the Governors of several States were strongly pro-Boer. Through Representative W. A. Smith a report of 1. M. de Bruyn was presented on the use of New Orleans as a base for military | supplies for Great Britain. Others spoke the use of American ports as supply | camps for the British army. Representa- | tive Smith also urged action by Congress. { Representative Sulzer sald millions of Americans would approve a resolution of i sympathy. Representative Adams of the sub-com- mittee, closing the hearln{, took excep- tion to the introduction of politics, say- ing no such question was involved. He said it was not a matter of domestic poli- tics, but international law. TWO PERSONS PERISH IN A NEW YORK FIRE | Flames Cut Them Off From Avenues of Escape and They Are Suffocated.

The dead: ANNA BOLTCHER, 19 years of age. JOHN LYNCH. | The injured: Ethel McGrath, burned, | probably fatally; Katie Wadsworth, con- | tusions of back and internal injuries, and | Annie Gilroy, sprains and bruises. The fire started on the first floor near a piie of stair pads and loose cotton, ap- | parently from a lighted cigar or cigarette | stub. The cotton burst into a blaze, the stair pads were set fire and in an instant the flames spread throughout the first oor and mounted upward. A panic ensued and disregarding the fire escapes many of the employes jumped from rear windows to the roof of an ex- tension.

Mac- kenzle and the other members of the com- mission are to be investigated by the Mayor and Common Council. This was decided upon to-night at the request of the accused Commissioner, who sent the fol- lowing communication to the Council: To the Honorable Mayor and Common Coun- eil: 1 hereby emphatically deny each and every charge contained in the certain document here- tofore filed with your honorable body by one Henry E. Miller, wherein 1 am charged with malfeasance in office, and respectfully ask that a thorough Investigation be immedlately or- Sered, A. 8. MACKENZIE, May 5, 1902. ‘Wednesday evening wasg set as the time for the investigation. Miller gave the names of his witnesses and they are to be summoned by the Citv Clerk. .

FOR TRANSFER Judge Troutt Refuses to Grant Mrs. Cra- ven’s Petition, Declares He Is Not Biased or Prejudiced and Will Hear Case. Superior Judge Troutt yesterday denied the motion of the attorneys for Mrs. Net- tie Craven to have the proceedings of final distribution and settlement of the litigation over the estate of James G. Fair transferred to another department of the Buperior Court. The transfer was re- quested on the ground that Judge Troutt was blased and prejudiced against Mrs. Craven. Affidavits made by Mr. Pence and Judge Maguire tending fo show preju- dice and bias on the part of Judge Troutt were introduced, and on the other hand counter affidavits were introduced by the attorneys of the Fair children tending to prove the contrary. Considerable argu- ment was indulged in between Pence and Maguire, representing Mrs. Craven, and McEnerney and Wheeler for the Fair children. After' Judge Troutt announced his de- cision that the court was not prejudiced and therefore no transfer would ns grant- ed Attorney Pence moved the court to postpone the hearing of the petition for final distribution on the ground that he intended. to file a suit against some of the property of the estate. is announcement caused considsrable surprise and developed quite an argu- ment. Mr. Wheeler arose after Mr. Pence took his seat and moved the court to dismiss Mrs. Craven as a litigant on the ground that it had already been_ de- cidea that she had no right to the Fair millions or any portion of them, and on the further ground that Judge Slack had already decided that the deeds that Mrs. Craven held to the Pine and Sansome Craven's attorneys intend to bring suit again. The case then went over until this morning at 11 o'clock. MORE NEW BUILDINGS ON STANFORD CAMPUS Eight Structures Will Be Added to the Present University Museum. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 5.

District Associations Take Part in an All-Day Discussion. The executive committee of the Califor- nia Real Estateé Association, together with representatives of the co-operating district associations of real estate men, held an all-day session in the rooms of the State Board of Trade yesterday. C. M. Wooster, president of the new organiza- tion, occupied the chair. Vice President David Bush and all the recently elected officers were present. N. P. Chipman, president of the State Board of Trade, was in attendance to advise with the real estate executive committee. The organization grew out of the present movement to promote the interior counties and_those of the coast and there is sym- pathetic_action with the State Board of Trade. The business of the day largely consisted of the adoption of a constitu- tion and by-laws. The provisions were in substantial accord with the suggestions that proved to be acceptable when the initial meeting was held in the hall of the Chamber of Commt erce. On no point was there any dissent. Sne of the provisions of general interest makes it necessary for any real estate man to secure membership in the local assoclation situated nearest to his place of residence as preliminary to the enjoyment of the privileges of the State organiza- tion. By this plan only those who make dealing in real estate their principal busi- ness will be enabled to take share in the work in view by the California associa- tion. During the day the by-laws of or- ganization of real estate dealers in the large citles of the East were consulted and the essential features of the Eastern plans were adapted to local use after thorough discussion. The action of yes- terday completes the organization of the new body and puts it in a position to at once engage in its chosen fleld. —_— RESULTS OF RACES ON EASTERN TRACKS Dixie Line Is the Winner of the Throggs Neck Handicap at Morris Park.

HEALDSBURG, May 5 — Francis George Smith committed suicide last night in a cell in the City Jall, during a fit of insanity. Smith, who was 51 years of age, was a married man, a native of Germany, and owned a goat ranch in the mountains twenty-nine miles west of Healdsburg, where he lived with his wife. Mrs. Smith came to town on Saturday and got a warrant for the arrest of her husband oh a charge of insanity. She then returned home and told her husband that officers were coming after him. Deputy Sheriff J. C. Ingalls went after Smith | early yesterday morning. He met Mrs. Smith on the road several miles from her home. Leaving her there, he proceeded to the house, and when within 100 yards of it heard the report of a gun. The officer hurried into the house and found one room full of powder smoke, but Smith grass which led into a deep canyon a half mile away, he discovered Smith behind gome brush, a large butcher knife'in his hand and the blood running from his neck and left wrist. The officer drew his pistol, which was not loaded, and ordered Smith to drop his knife. Smith begged him not to_shoot and readily surrendered. Ingalls brought the insane man to town, lacing him in a cell in the City Jail. lV’vhen the cell was entered this morning it was found that Smith had made another and this time a successful at- tempt to shuffle off this mortal coll. The iron bedstead in the cell is fastened to the wall on either end by a slack chain. Smith used the slack in ome of these chains to make a half hitch around his neck. and then dropping on his knees suc- ceeded in strangling himself. o o Californians in New York.

The estate of which Dold is one of the heirs is valued at $15,000,000. It comes from a line of Englishmen, the original having been Captain Willis of the French army, a great-great-great-grandfather of Dold on his mother’s side.
