V5 Police Are Investigating Pe- culiar Actions of a Doormaker. N George F. Lheureux, who lives at 1113 Eleventh avenue, Oakland, and is employ- | ed as a doormaker by the California Door | Company, is in the “tanks” at the City Prison and may be charged with felony under sections 216 and 222 of the Penal Code which make it a State prison of- fense to administer a drug to another per- son with criminal intent. Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morn- ing Policeman A. T. McQuaide heard screams coming from the Leland House, 1118 Market street. He ran upstairs and found Lheureux outside the door of the room occupied by Fanny Evans, a mani- curist. McQuaide took Lheureux into Miss Evans’ room and sbe said he had applied a handkerchief saturated with chloroform to her nose and mouth. She struggled with him and screamed and he | ran out of the room. There was a strong | smell of chloroform in the room and when McQuaide searched Lheureux’s pocket he | found an empty bottle labeled *chloro- form.” Lheureux was taken to the Southern police station and questioned by Lieuten- ant Conboy. He said he did not intend to kilt the woman nor had any idea of robbing her. He just wanted to see if the drug would make her unconscious. Detective Ryan was detailed on the case by Captain Martin and to Ryan Lheureux made the same answers as to his inten- tion. He said he had purchased the drug in Oakland because he had the toothache. He came across the bay to see the foot- ball game and lost $10 by backing Stan- ford, which made him despondent. He | met Miss Evans at the entrance to a music hall at Turk and Market streets | and she asked him to go to her room. Ryan also saw Miss Evans and she said | Lheureux saw her take some money out | of her trunk. A lady’s purse containing $30 in gold, ver and cards were found in x's pocket and he refused to give isfactory explanation of now this | property came into his possession. De- | tective Ryan found, however, that the | purse and contents had been given him by | a woman in Oakland. | WORK IS EULOGIZED | | Bishop W. F.

This good man, he said, had | through his interest in slum work con-| | ceived the idea of taking upon his farm | every summer some of the unfortunate | children of the city hovels and surround- !mg them with sunshine and moral influ- ence. Their return to their city haunts | drove them back to bad conditions, and E to avoid such a state of things the Junior | Republic was formed, which brought boys within its sphere. They governed them- | selves, taking for guldance the laws of | the greater republic, and since then have | grown self-reliant and self-respecting. —_———— i Hebrew Association Prospers.

R e Mrs. James Haughy, aged about 60 years, was run down at the crossing of Beale street by an eastbound car of the Folsom-street line about 8 o'clock last night and instantly killed.

He applied the brakes and reversed the cur- rent, but the wet rails prevented the brakes from being effective and the heavy car slid upon the unfortunate wo- man, mangling her terribly. . The motorman, D. Flynn, and con- ductor, M. W. O'Connell, placed the body on the car.and hurried it to the Harbor Hospital, where the surgeons on duty found life extinct. Policemen T. P. Gibbons and C. Murpfly arrested the motorman and took him to the City Pris- on, where he was booked for manslaugh- ter and released on $0 bail. He refused to make any statement in regard to the accident. The body of the unfortunate woman was removed to the Morgue.

About five weeks ago the couple engaged a room at 125 Locust avenue and until the unhappy affair of yesterday they appeared to be getting along as well as most young married couples. McMillan returned home at an early hour yesterday morning and a few min- utes later Mrs. Anderson, the landlady, was awakened by Mrs. McMillan, who implored protection against her husband, who, she said, was beating her. Mrs. An- derson went into the street in search. of a policeman and by the aid of a young man she was enabled to secure the ser- vices of Policemen Lanckman and Har- rell. The latter went to the house and found the couple greatly excited. Mrs. McM:llan claimed her husband was beat- ing Ler and that he sought to take her money from her. McMillan asserted that his wife had been drinking. The ppolicemen took McMillan into the street and the un- heppy wife took advantage of the oppor- tunity to drink an ounce of earbolic actd. Her cries attracted the attention of Mrs. Anderson and her daughter Lulu, who went to her aid. She admitted taking the acid and asked as a favor that they in- form no one of the circumstance. Mrs. Anderson notified the policemen of the suicide and the dying young woman was carried to the Emergency Hospital, where she died. McMillan denies that he struck his wife.
