An action had been instituted In the Probate Court by friends to have him declared incompetent, and this, it is believed, in ad- dition to remorse following a - spree, caused him to commit the rash act. The shooting caused much excitement in the Saturday throng on the street. Sends Pistol Bullet Crashing Into His Bram Liguor’s Grip on Him the Cause of Raskh Act. ‘While in the agonies of jangling nerves, resulting from excessive drinking, and despondent over the fact that friends were instituting an action to have him declared incompetent, Joseph Schweitzer, a jeweler at 707 Market street, sent a bullet through his brain and instantly ended his life at noon yesterday im the rear of his place of business. The tragedy caused great excitement in the vicinity, where -the Saturday midday crowd was passing. Schweitzer has been drinking heavily, though he was sald to have sobered up ai the time he ended his life. A few min- utes before he fired the fatal shot he purchased a drink in the cafe, next to his store, and several per- sons who saw him there say he did not appear intoxicated. Immediately after leaving the saloon Schweitzer went to his store and com- He placed the muzzle of the revolver against his head above the left ear and fired. The bullet took a downward course, boring a large hole in his head. The report attracted a large and the suicide. was rushed to the Central Emergency Hospital. Chief Surgeon Millar gave him every possible aid, but he was beyond assistance and died an hour later. The dead man had a prosperous busi- ness.. but liguor nud obtained mastery over him. A few days ago a petition was filed in the Probate Court by Fritz Gercke, a painter, who was a friend of the dead man, to have him declared in- competent and also asked to be appointed his guardian. Schweitzer did not show any outward signs of being annoyed at this action of his friend. A clerk in the Jewelry store says Schweitzer discussed the matter with him vesterday morning. It was evident that Schweitzer had premeditatedly prepared for the end, as he brought a package to his store in the morning, which later was found to con- tain cartridges, one of which he used to end_ his life The dead man was a brother-in-law of H. Glindermann, a Jjeweler on Third street. Schweitzer was a marrled man and lived with his wife and children at 1671 Golden Gate avenue.

Size Five Feet Ten Inches. After years of scientific experiments and acoustical research, an authority, probably the most eminent in all the world in the science of piano-building, says: l “Any Grahd Piano Smaller Than Five Feet Ten i Inches Crosses the Danger Line, as It Cannot Yield a Tonal Result Superior to That of the Dis- carded Square or the Present Upright Piano.” The size of the Steinway Miniature Grand is exactly Five Feet and Ten Inches. Its full, rich and sweet tone, and its dainty appearance recommend it to anybody who desires a Grand Piano, but who does not wish to exceed the investment of $800 in a piano purchase.
