SUICIDE TO ESCAPE THE LAW.
Simons Had Eeen Summoned to
Answer a Charge of Assault.
He Drank Poison and Now His
Family Is Destitute.

A warrant for the arrest of Jacob
Slmons on a charge of assault was re-
turned to Justice Watson in the Even
Street Court, Williamsburg, to-day
marked, Defendant has committed sui
eide"
Simons was twenty-nine years old, a
pcddler and lived with his wife and
six children at 14S McKibben street
of late, and he barely earned enough to
provide for his large family.
Last night Simons was especially
respondent. A court officer had called
at his house and told him to appear be-
fore Justice Watson to-day to answer
to a charge of assault. AS Is customary
In these simple cases, defendants, when
| they are men with home and family,
are simply notified to be present in
stead of being locked up.
Simons worried a good deal over the
charge against him, and said he would
never dare to face his friends after hav-
Ing appeared In police court, His

At about O'Clock Simons said he was
tired and would go to bed. He passed

She summoned neighbor, who broke

Simons was found tossing about on

later.

HILLS NAME LEADS.
Machine Democrats Think He Is
the Strongest Candidate.
Others Divided Between Gaynor,
Geek and Thacher.
Possibilities Of a Dark Horse Carry
Ing on tho Prize.

Politicians are discussing nothing but
the Governorship now. The name OF
Senator Hill leads all the rest for the
Democratic nomination. Machine Dem
ocrats believe that Mr.. Hill would make
by all odds the strongest candidate, but
1t is not believed that the Senator will
take the nomination on account of
party consideration.
IL elected he would have to resign his
seat in the United States Senate, and If
the Republicans get a majority of the
Assembly they have majority in the
Senate already. the Democrats would
lose a United States Senator.
Perhaps no man would rather see
Hill elected Governor under certain con-
dtions than w. r. Grace. Mr.. Grace
has an ambition to be United States
Senator and II he could make a bargain
by which his desire may be gratltied
1t might have tendency to unite the
opposing forces in the Democratic party.
But can Grace deliver the goods? the
practical politicians are asking Mr..
for multitude OF followers: man
with n BARI might win II he had no
other following than his footman.
The anti-machine Democrats prefer
Judge Gaynor to any other man for
Just to the people who elected him to
the Office OF Justice OF the Supreme
Court for fourteen years to resign
within a few months after his election
and put the people to the trouble and
expense of a special election.
1t appears, from an interview with
Judge Gaynor published this morning.

changed his mind and his a candidate
