Hugh H. Proctor, a bank Tlerk who at- | | temptea to commit suicide at the Pre- iio reservation last Saturday, has es- caped from the City and County Hospi- tal andis somewhere in the city with an ugly wound in his throat and another in his brea; It is possible, however, he hgs availed himself of the opportunity for self-destruction offered by freedom and is dead. Last night G. H. Marsh of %28 Capp | street and a friend of the missing man, called at the Hall of Justice for the pur- pose of consulting with Detective Harry Reynolds and the morgue authorities. Marsh gave it as his opinion that the bank clerk no longer lived and that his escape meant a second and successful at- tempt at suicide. At the time of the attempted suicide, Proctor told conflicting stories as to the ca of the deed. satisfied his explanations and de- with | tailed Detective Reynolds to investigate. It is said that a communication was sent to the City of Mexico, where Proctor was last employed by the United Etates Bank- ing Company, and the officers expected that the patient would be held in the hos- pital until they were given opportunity of straightening the case out. But Proc- tor will give them no more trouble, un- less they seek to find him, as he has quietly slipped away. He made his es- cape at night, it is said. Proctor comes from an excellent family in Toronto, Canada. His wife still re- sides there, and just before attempting to take his life he mailed her a letter, which missive he desired to recall when he found that he was to recover. He came to this city from San Diegs, and had been liere but a few days when he sought the soli- tude of the Govermment ervation to end his troubles, the exact naturc of which the police are endeavoring to as- certain. When found he had an exten- slve wound In the throat and a stab over the left breast. A guard discovered the wounded man ard had him removed with all possible haste to the Presidio hospital, where his injuries were first treated. The man suf- fered considerably from the loss of blood, but was able to converse, telling first that he was despondent and later spoke of vis- iting Chinatown with an unknown wom- an and of being driven insane by having his liquor “‘doped.” en the clerk was sent to the Central Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Millar attended him, and on the following day he was removed to the City and County Hospital. Ia telling his story at the Hall of Jus- tice Jast evening Marsh said that the hos- pital attendants were unable to account for the disappearance. He wished the police to investigate and the Morgue of- ficials to notify him in the event that the man’'s body is found, that | The police were not | | | | | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FIERCE RIOT IN ILLINTS LEGISLATURE Continued From “Page 1, Column 3. shouting at the Speaker, protesting against the recess. **No,’you don’t adjourn,” they were re- peating. Murray, from the top of his desk, then addressed the XHouse. “Gentlemen of the House,” said he, “I notice that we are without a Speaker. “The House is adjourned,” interrupted F. E. Erickson. *“No, it has not,” was. the response from several menibers “It is very evident,” continued Murray waving his hands for silence, “that we are without a Speaker at this moment | and that there fs a majority here, and I therefore move that the Hon. Mr. Allen be made Spefiker pro tempore of this House.” ALLEN ELECTED SPEAKER. Amid great confusion Murray put the motion and declared it carried. Allen was hurried up to the chair, éscorted by Beit- ler, Trautmant, Christian, Tice and oth- ers. " Speaker Miller had' carried the gavel to his room, and there was a momentary embarrassment owing to the absence of this emblem of authority. SchMgenhauf, however, rose to -this emergency and brought up-the rung of a disabled chair | and handed it to Allen. The Speaker was surrounded by 'a large number of members, both Democrats and Republicans. He at once made an at- tempt to restore order and requested the members to resume their seats. In the midst of the uproar one of the clerks from the Senate appeared and an- nounced a message from the Senate. Speaker Allen recognized him, and before the clerk knew just what was the matter he had read a message. It was impos- | sible to hear him, and some official im- mediately grabbed him and pushed out of the hall before he had a chance to send the message to the Speaker's dosk. Davis mounted a chair and asked for! recognition. He wanted to make a mo- tion that the message of the Senate be recefved and be made a part of the rec- ords. Before he got recognition the clerk from the Senate had entirely disappeared | from view. On motion of Trautman, Representative Kuolla was made clerk pro tem. of the House. Speaker Allen—Take your neats, please. We cannot do anything when there is so much confusion. Browne—Do you want to transact nees in the condition this House s in? busi- “Yes, sir,” came the response from a score. “Throw him out,” cried Sherman. Johnson—Call the roll and let's see how many are present. Speaker Allen—The clerk will now call the roll to see if there is a quorum present. When Gallagher's name was reached he failed to respond, although he was in his | seat. Beitler called attention to this and thought that he ought to be recorded as present. “This House is not in regular session, yelled Gallagher above the tumult, “and 1 do not want to be recorfed as being | present.’” CLERK’S VOICE IS LOST. At this point the confusion was so great and the House in such an uproar that it was impossible for the clerk to be heard as he called the roll. Speaker Allen—We must have order here, gentlemen, Let every member take his seat, The chalr will appoint Messrs, Cummings an Deady as sergeants-at-arms to clear the aisles and preserve order. ‘When Gray's name was called he sald: I have learned this session that there are men here, and especfally the Speaker, who have not only violated the constitution of the State of Illinols, but have violated their oaths of office. 1 say that whenever the members of this House ask for a roll call they are en- titled to one. 1 am glad to say to you boys on the other side of the House that you are to-day getting what we Democrats have been getting all the time. We have made repeated demands for roll calls, but have not got them, { T say that the Speaker has violated his oath of office and the constitution of the State of | Illinols. 1 also say that we are now violating the law by pretending to run a rough house here at this time. Speaker Allen—The gentleman is now out of order. Murray—A point of ortlef. is that there is no question Gray—Are we here In a legal sense? A dozen volces—Yes, sir; ves, sir; yes, sir. After much confusion and a great deal of delay the roll call was finally com- pleted. It showed ninety-seven members My point of order fore the House, | present. After the Speaker had announced the result of the roll call Wilson (Dem.) was recognized. He protested against- what he termed the revolutionary action on the part of those who- -organized House in January. He said that the time had come in this State when that kind of procedure must be checked. He ad- vised conservatism under the circum- stances and cautioned the House not to do anything of which it would be ashamed. Sherman then made an extended talk on the constitutional status of the exist- ing session of the House. He sald that ninety-seven members constituted a con- stitutional majority and that the rules | of the House organization were in force in the present session. He held that the House was not de- stroyed by the abdication or withdrawal of its regular presiding officer. “He might die,” said Sherman, “and for parliamentary purposes in this House, he | is now dead.” | munieipal MUELLER BILL TAKEN TUP. After some further parliamentary ques- tions had been disposed of, the Lindley ownership bill was recalled from the third reading to which it had been sent by the regular organization of the House a few moments before. Tice then offered section by section the Mueller bill as a substitute for the Lind- ley bill. On the first amendment (section DOANS mmu PILLS PLENTY OF IT.

There was laughter as | the Speaker brought down his gavel and | said: ‘ *“The House will be in order.” Allen, still standing beside the Speaker, | said: | -Mr. Speaker: to inform you that during your absence I was }ex.-(-mx temporary Speaker of this House and | that House bill 864 was recalled from third to second reading and amended and is now | under consideration and that the following | resolution was unanimously adopted by nine- ty-seven members of this House, Allen then read the Rinaker resolution, At this juncture Wheeler moved to ad- jeurn to 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. This brought the House into an uproar and there were demands for a roll call. The roll call was started, but there was so much confusion that it was temporarily suspended. Before it was resumed Rin- aker moved to take a recess until 5 o'clgck. This motion prevailed and at 2:45 o'clock one of the stormiest and most remarkable sessions the House ever held came to a close. TELLS OF ATTEMPT TO BRIBE. During the recess five representatives of the Speaker’s friends and five of the op- position went into conference to agree on a settlement. The conference lasted near- ly three hours. It was finally agreed that the action of the House on the Lindley bill should be reconsidered and to-mor- row, there should be a roll call on the amendments that were adopted this morning under the gavel. To-night, when the House reconvened, a motion to reconsider was entered into in accordance with the agreement and then postponed until to-morrow. Before adjournment Speaker Miller said: I have been approached at different times by parties who intimated to me that ¥ could make money by allowing a roll call on what is known &s the Mueller traction bill or per- mitting its passage. For this reason I denied the roll call and have stood firm on this prop- osition to the very limit, Amid wild confusion Representative Rinaker declared that the House was en- titled to know the names of the persons who had approached the Speaker. Rin- aker moved the appointment of a commit- tee of five to investigate, the committee to be appointed by Speaker Miller. The Speaker promptly put the motion and de- clared it carried and the House adjourned until to-morrow. St AP S PR Colorado Supplies Precedent.

The clerks were at their desks. Mrs. Tyner passed from the public room into the private office and closed the door behind her. Being alone in the of- fice she stepped to the door opening into the public corridor and by previous ar- rangement admitted Mrs. Barrett, mother of Harrison J. Barrett, the former law clerk of the Postoffice Department, and G. G. Hammner, a safe expert. Chris- tiancy reported the presence of Mrs. Tyner in the office to two inspectors and to Postmaster General Payne. An in-| spector also reported it to Fourth As-| sistant Postmaster General Bristow. { Bristow asked for'authority to have Mrs. Tyner ejected from the office.. The authority came too late. When the in- spector returped Mrs. Tyner had left. The safe on being examined was found to be empty. REFUSES TO RETURN PAPERS. The affair created great excitement among the investigating officials, but the news was coneealed-earefully from the public. Two inspectors were dispatched to the Tyner residence to re:over the pa- pers. Mrs. Tyner refused to give them up, saying she was acting under the di- rection of her husband. She told the in- spectors,” so they reported, that she had { a right to thg papers, as Tyner was still Assistant Attorney General, and, more- over, insisted that the papers were all of a private character.. The inspectors re- ported that Mrs. Tyner declared the pa- pers belonged solely to them and that she announced emphatically that she did not propose to have her papers sub- mitted to the scrutiny of the inspectors. it is understood, was brought to bear upon both Mr. and Mrs. | Tyner, but they unequivocally refused to | deliver the papers or even to show them. It is believed at the department that | the papers have some connection with | the recent conduct of the office. Several | weeks ago a turf investment concern, | whose affairs were aired in court, al- | leged that its working methods had been | sanctioned by the Assistant Attorney General for the Postoffice Department Charges involving the office of the As- sistant Attorney General and a lawyer formerly connected with that office were ventilated very generally at that time, and an investigation was organized by the Postmaster General. This was really the inception of the Investigation that has spread into every part of the department. The complaints crystallized into a formal | request for Tyner's resignation, signed | by Postmaster General Payne on March 9 last. Tyner had been in exceedingly bad health for a long time and had visited the office at only rare intervals, leaving | the office entirely in charge of his assist- ant for months at a'time. He is suf- ering from an unusually severe case of aralysis, and in consideration of this based on his !l health.

The announcement of yesterday's de- pments was made by Postmaster Gen- eral Payne late this afternoon to a large number of newspaper correspondents. In a voice that trembled with emotion hc | said tnat he regretted to have to say that | he had found it necessary to remove from | office the Assistant Attorney General of | the department, and after speaking in a | general way about the facts aiready de- veloped sald the story was best told in | the correspondence, which he then read | in a feeling tone. Then he announced that he could say nothing further‘on the subject and that he preferred not to be asked any questions. Payne was asked if any arrests would be made as the result of the abstraction and if any oneelse in the office was in- volved. He sald that these were matters which he could not discuss—that it rested with the Attorney General, to whom the papers would go as soon as the record of the case could be copied and submitted. The case, however, he added, would be in the hands of the Department of Jus- tice to-morrow, and what further steps would be taken would be decided by the Attorney General. He did not care to venture any prediction as to the outcome. Tyner at the time the papers were taken was still technically Assistant At- terney General, and this fact will figure in consideration of the question by the De- partment of Justice. It is pointed out, however, that although Tyner still held the office, his resignation not having yet become operative, the acceptance of the resignation was, with the strict under- standing specifically stated in the letter of acceptance, that he would not attempt to administer the duties of his office. It fully realized by the Postmaster Gencral that the case presents a delicate situa- tion, and for that reason he declined to- day to enter Into a discussion of the facts. TYNER'S LONG SERVICE.

NEW YORK, April 25.—While Mrs. Wiiliam K. Vanderbilt, her ~sister, Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, and the latter's hus- band are abroad investigating for them- selves the manner in which Charles L. Fair and his wife met their deaths, their lawyers, Messrs. Jay and Chandler, are making active preparations to fight to the | last all efforts to obtain the millions of | Mr. Fair on the part of the wife's mother, Mrs. Hannah E. Nelson, and her children. | An answer to the action which was brought several months ago in the name | of Mrs. Nelson and her children and other relatives of Mrs. Charles L. Fair, to set aside an agreement entered into in San Francisco whereby Mrs. Nelson, in consideration of $1%,000 said to have been paid by Mr. Oelrichs, agreed to | walve all clalm to the estates of her daughter and son-in-law, has been pre-| pared and served upon Chandler & Beek- man, counsel for Mrs. Nelson. It elaborate in detall. The answer is verlflsd by Colonel William Jay, acting in behalf of Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt. they being in Burope. He seté forth that it is based upon statements made to him by both Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Oel- richs and also from correspondence with persons in Europe. In their answer Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Oelrichs “deny that they have any knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief that the accident referred to occurred directly i front of the gates on the boulevard on which the said auto- mobile was travellng to the chateau of BI. Berson and that the occupants of the automobile therein referred to were thrown upon the ground, said Charles L. Fair being killed instantly on the spot and his wife surviving him thirty mlnv utes or more.” In regard to the settlement made with | Mrs, Nelson in San Francisco last Au- gust they assert that they have no in- formation as to whether negotiations were carried on in their behalf or that of other persons to induce Mrs. D make any settlement. Nor do tk anything of the contents or provisions of that agreement. In the agreement the consideration named in each deed was $10 | in gold and, although the answer denies | any knowledge of the transactions, it fur- | ther states tbat if the deeds were ex cuted they were for a greater considera- tion than $10. It is also.denied that they have any information sufficient to form a belief as to whether or not $125,000 was paid to Mrs. Nelson, or that their brother was worth $6,000,000 or $7.000,000 at the time of his death, or that Mrs. Fair was also possessed of great wealth, or that they knew of the negotiations for a settlement | with Nelson in San Francisco.

An effort made to-night to obtain from Tyner or Mrs. Tyner a statement met with no success, Mrs. Tyner stating they had nothing to say on the subject. The suggestion was thrown out that there might be something to give out by Gen- eral Tyner's side some time in the future. Mrs. Tyner apparently took the situa- | tion very coolly. If at all concerned, about the Postmaster General's letter she | did not show it In her manner to those | who called at the house during the even- | ing. While refusing to admit directly that Tyner had received Payne's letter, it was evident from her answers to the | queries on the subject that he either had received it or had been made acquainted with its contents. General Tyner is in a very weak and almost helpless conditlon from his long | sickness. He remains in his room most | of the time and sees very few callers. WILL RESTORE THE PAPERS. After General Tyner had recefved ths letter of dismissal from Postmaster Gen-: eral Payne he called into consultation R. Ross Perry and L. T. Michener, attor-| neys of this city, who are Intimate | friends. These gentlemen later in the | evening made a statement asking for a | suspension of judgment in the case. “The papers taken from the safe,” the statement says, “‘are now in the possu.: sion of General Tyner, in the same condi- tion in which they were when taken from the safe.
