Albert Nemececk, a bartender, 49 years of age, committed suicide in his and, forcing open the door, found his dead body in bed and the gas es- caping from an open jet. The door had been locked and the window was closed and bolted. Mrs. Heins, the landlady, told Deputy Coroner Brown that Nem- ececk had been in a despondent state of mind ever since he had been living in her house, for the last eight months, and she was satisfied that he had de-|the liberately turned on the gas. He was a member of the Eagles and the An- cient Order of United Workmen. The body was removed to the Morgue, 13| BELLBOY ROBS | HOTEL CLERK Vicious Assault Made Upon‘!

G. Francis, acting clerk, early | vesterday morning and, after he had beaten his victim into insensibility. | !rifled the office register. Then he made his escape. The robbery was planned with criminal ingenuity. Seal lured the clerk into a room and after | causing him to turn his head by point- ing to something, struck him on the head with a club. Francis did not drop immediately, but staggered into the hallway. Another attack was made upon him there, and when he fell his fellow employe proceeded to rib the till of $45 in coin. Seal is an ex-marine and had been in the service of the hotel but one week. He came without a recommen- dation, but his appearance was in his favor and he was given a position. Shertly before 7 o'clock yesterday morning Seal and Francis were on duty, the former running the elevator and the latter ‘attending to the of- fice. The elevator bell rang and Seal descended to the street entrance, {after which he took a guest up to his roem.on an upper floor. When Seal came to the office floor he called | to Francis to come quickly to the parlor, as he wished to show him sometning. Francis did directed and followed along the hallway until this particular room was reached. | When the two entered the parlor. Seal called to Francis to examine a ' corner in the room. The clerk bent over to do so and at the same time | received a stinging blow on the back of the head from a club in the hands | | of Seal. He recovered himself quick- | {1y and started back into the hall-| as way. Again Seal wielded the club | |and the clerk dropped. Then the! | bellboy |and pocketed the contents of the | tiln. As soon as Francis recovered, he| | staggered down the stairway leading | to the street and cried loudly for | help. A policeman responded to his | call and a search was commenced. | ;This, however, was useless, as the| thief had made his escape by means lof a back entrance and had reached | | another street through an alleyway. The detective department was noti fied and Captain Martin put two.men | on the trail of the thug. Up to a |1ate hour last night no arrest had | been made. _—————— HITS HIS RIVAL ON THE HEAD WITH AN | AX i George McLaughlin Fells "X'fllllrn‘ | Chamberlain to the Earth With a | | Brutal Blow. { | George McLaughlin hit William | Chamberlain on the head with an ax | and has left a mark that will take | { many moons to efface. Though the oc | currence in itself is serious enough, th | events that led up to it are of humorous character. | McLaughlin, who halls from the | | Emerald Isle, says he does not know | | how old he is, but states with empha- | j sis that he was born on the same day and date as Queen Viectoria, which would make him 85 years of age on the coming May 24. He certainly looks it. | He is small. wizened, and has parted | with all his teeth, but he has not part- ed with his vigor nor the passion of i love that filled his breast in early youth. From what is reported on the water | front, McLaughlin lives in Baldwin court, and Chamberlain, who is 65 vears old, lives near by. Shortly after noon yesterday Chamberlain tapped on McLaughlin’s door to pay a friendly call, but instead of welcoming, him McLaughlin grabbed an ax and smote him on the head, leaving a wide cut over his left ear. The cause is stated to be a woman, | named Mrs. Nicholls, over whose head some seventy-two summers lightly rolled, and to whom the belligerents have been paying attention. Cham- berlain had his head sewed up at the Harbor Emergency Hospital and later | was sent home. McLaughlin was carted down to the Hall of Justice. He will have a hearing to-day. H —————— RETAILERS ARE OPPOSED H TO PROPOSED ORDINANCE A meeting of the Retailers' Federa-, tion of California was held at the of—‘ fice of the Retail Grocers' Azsociatlonl of San Francisco in the Parrott build- ing yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock. | Willlam Lenhoff, the. president of the | Retail Grocers’ Association of San Francisco, acted as chairman and HJ | C. Flageollet, past president of the Retail Butchers’ Protective Associa- tion of San Francisco, acted as secre- tary. Representatives of the various _retail trade organizations of San | | Francisco were present and it was | unanmimously resolved that a com- | munication opposing the proposed free flower market ordinance be for- ! warded to the Board of Supervisors. The communication says in part: The Retailers’ Federation of California, an association comprising the ous retafl | trade organizations of this city and State, de- i sires to record its protest against the passage by your honorable body of the proposed ordi- | nance for establishing free flower markets at | various street crossings and ot localities in | this city, and to set forth its ns for such protest. We believe that the of this ordi- nance will be the establishment of an un- wholesome precedent, and one that is subversive of the setiled policy of the board, as evidenced by its reofl;tl ll':llhllon in conformity with the ! part of our of Public Works.

An important meeting of the execu- tive committee will be held in Knights | of the Red Branch Hall Wednesday evening. —_——————————— USE BUCKET HANDLE TO BREAK THROUGH WALL Chief Jailer Sullivan Ridicule$ Story of an Attempt to Escape From the County Jail. The most surprised man in the city | yesterday was J. E. Sullivan, Chief | Jailer at the County Jail on Broadway, when he read in one of the morning | papers the sensational account of dan | alleged attempt made by Eddie Yarrow | and two other criminals to break out | | of jail. He did not deny that they had | succeeded in loosening two or three bricks from the wall with the aid of | the handle of a bucket, but he believed t had been done more as a joke than nything else. “Why,” ‘Sullivan said, “it would have taken them 100 years to break through the wall with the handle of the bucket. It is true that my attention was called to the fact that something was doing in the cell occupied by the three pris- oners about ten days ago and I dis- covered the small hole in the wall made by the absent bricks, but the other part of the sensational story is records of the prisoners. I thought so little of the incident that I did not think it worth while to mention it. It is too ridiculous to be seriously consid- ered.” —_——— RED MEN GIVE BALL FOR DEDICATION Well Attended Function at Which De- gree of Pocahontas Takes an Active Part. The ball given Saturday evening by the general committee of the Improved Order of Red Men and -the Degree of Pocahontas in aid of a fund that is being raised for the purpose of dedicating the new wigwam on Golden Gate avenue for the two organizations | was well attended.

The First of a Truly Remarkable Series of Thrilling Stories. NEXT SUNDAY CALL. 4 | to take her to the New Western Hotel LOSES SATCHEL OR IS ROBBE Police Investigating the Case of Mrs. A. Weiser, an Old Lady From Milwaukee ON HER WAY TO DENVER AT TR Left Without Funds Among Strangers, but Chief Witt- man Has Provided for Her —_— The police are puzzled to know whether Mrs. A. Weiser, who is 84 years of age, has been robbed of her hand satchel containing $450 in cur- rency, her railroad ticket and baggage checks, or has lost it on train or street car. The old lady lives in Milwaukee, where she has property, and she went from there to Los Angeles for the ben- efit of her health. She has a son, Al- bert Weiser, in Denver, and she ar- rived at the Third and Townsend street depot on Saturday night from Los Angeles on her way to visit him. Yesterday morning Mrs. Weiser en- tered a pawn shop on Kearny street' and offered to pawn her gold watch and chain. The pawnbroker asked her a few questions and her replies caused him to take her to police headquarters. She told Captain Martin about the loss of her satchel, which she thought had been taken from her while she was on the train. After arriving here she boarded a street car. which stopped ar some hotel, and she registered at the hotel and vaid $1 for a room. It was then she discovered that she did not have her satchel, but she for- tunately had a small purse containing $1 22 in a pocket in her dress. Yes- terday morning she found that she would have to pay 50 cents for her breakfast and that was why she wan:- ed to pawn her watch and chain to get some money. She said she had wired to her son in Denver and had toid him to send a reply to the ferry building. She said she had no idea where she had left two valises that she brought with her and it was later discovered that she had taken the valises from the depot at Third and Townsend streets and had gone with them to the ferry building, where she had left them on a bench. Chief Wittman was notified of the old lady’'s predicament and he #ave her enough money to supply her immediate wants and sent Detective Taylor with her in a hack to the ferry to recover her valises. He also instructed Taylor till he could communicate with her son in Denver. The chief sent a dispatch to Chief Armstrong of Denver to find Albert Weiser and notify him of his mother's plight. Mrs. Weiser said she did not remem- ber the hotel where she had stopped on Saturday night and Detective Tay- lor will endeavor to locate it to-day. Mrs. Weiser told him that she thought | a woman who sat beside her on the street car had taken her satchel, but | she told the chief that she thought it had been taken from her on the train. She did not care for the loss of the money, as she was wealthy, she said, | but she did not like to be left in a strange city with only 22 cents. DEMANDS MONEY FROM | INTOXICATED PRINTER i James Connelly Holds Up E. P. Sim- mons in Doorway on Kearny Street and Is Arrested. James Connelly, a “hobo,” ap- proached E. P. Simmons, a printer, on Kearny street, near Pine. yesterday | afterhoon about 3 o'clock and asked him for some money. Simmens was ! considerably under the influence of liquor. He handed Connelly some beer checks and Connelly grabbed him by the throat and shoved him into a door- way and demanded money. Several | people gathered in front of the deor- way, which attracted the attention of Policemen Keohane and O'Connor. ‘When the officers reached the door- way Connelly had hold of Simmons and was telling him to “give up.” Sim- mons complained that Connelly was holding him up and when Connelly was questioned by the officers he could not give them a satisfactory explanation. | He was taken to the City Prison and | booked on a charge of robbery and | Simmons was booked for being drunk. | Connelly said he was a stranger here, having only arrived three weeks ago. —_—— The Eastern railroads have resumed | selling cheap tickets to the Pacific Coast | and many of our San Francisco families will shortly be entertaining their rela- tives who will come out here with a meal | cooked on a gas range purchased from | the San Francisco Gas and Ele Co., 415 Post street. ctric Co., ——————— BIG CROWDS RECREATE AT PARK AND OCEAN BEACH Pedestrians, Drivers and Equestrians Turn Out in Force, Notwithstand- ing Threatening Weather. In spite of the threatening state of the weather, there was a large crowd of pedestrians, drivers and equestrians in Golden Gate Park and at ocean beach yesterday afternoon. There was but little breeze and the sea was calm and the temperature almost summer-like. Numerous people witnessed the per- formances of the trained seals at the Cliff House under the instruction of their trainer, Captain Charles A. Lyon, and a good deal of interest was mani- fested in “Frisco.” the untamed seal which some months ago played a can- nibalistic turn on .Lyons. ‘Frisco” was particularly recalcitrant_yester- day and set up a plaint that must have touched the hearts of the seal family on the historic rocks. “Fanny,” one of the captain’s pets, gnd as docile as a lamb, went through any number of tricks to the delight of all, especially the children. . —_———— £ Burnett's Extract of Vanilla is the leader all the world over.

Dr. Rader Discusses Burns and Temptations and Triumphs of Poverty “Robert Burns, and Triumphs of Poverty was the subject of a sermon delivered before an immense assemblage of worship- ers at the Third Congregational of the Temptations | Church, Fifteenth and Mission streets, * last night. In the course of Rev. Mr. Rader said: Poverty, like affluence, colors a man's envi- ronment and helps to form his ideas. Our eco- nomic convictions come from our pockets; the man with a full pocket has a different idea of life to the Millionaires are never social reformers And in this comparison we may trace certain ideas of Robert Burns directly to his poverty. The first was his democracy. He believed in the common people. To the French convention during the revolution he sent a little cannon, and, asked to give a toast to William Pitt, he said: “‘America’s independence, England's ter- ror. 1 drink to the name of Gecrge Washing- ton. " To his environment the_commonplace. in the fleld mouse, cottage and in labor. Poetry is the insight into the common things in life; it is truth filtered through the imagina- tion., Burns was a liberal thinker and I am sorry to eay that he lived liberally. It would have been better if he had had more Calvinism in his character. There was too much of the flower and not enough of the cak in his charac- ter. Presbyterians of this date agree with Burns rather than with John Knox in certain phases of Calvinistic thought. ‘There can be no doubt that the character of the poet was largely the result of his early training and surroundings. He dissipated and is said to have died of debauchery. The tragedy of his life is in the fact that the candle burned to its socket be- fore middle life. But does mot expect man to die at the age of 39. In making a comparison between Lord Ten- nyson and Whittier and Burns, we find that Tennyson was an aristocrat, who dipped his pen far back into history and clothed his characters with royalty. while Burns stmply talked about the people of his own town. Whit- tler, who is sometimes called the American Burns, might be compared to the Scottish poet as a glow worm to a coal of fire. —_—————————— CLUB WILL SOON MOVE INTO ITS OWN QUARTERS Graduates of University of California Are Looking Forward to Formal Housewarming. The University of California Club, composed of graduates of that State institution, held its monthly luncheon at the California Hotel Saturday and combined business with pleasure to the extent of selecting permanent club- rooms for the future accommodation of its members. At the luncheon were eighty-five members of the club, who were presided over by A. J. Cloud, president of the organization. Acting favorably on a report from a commit- tee, the club decided to lease the upper floors of the building on the south- east corner of Geary and Powell streets, which will be immediately fitted up for a formal opening in about three weeks. s remarks the He found poetry in clubrooms.
