DEATH OF W G. OLIVER,
RumorS That He Committed
Suicide Because Unable to
Pay His Creditors.
He Was Addicted to the Use Of Opium
for Inducing Sleep and Died
From an Overdose.

The sudden death at 7:3o o'clock yester-
day morning of William G. Oliver, junior
partner of the firm of Valleau & Oliver,
printers, 4o3 Sansome street, has occa-
stoned much surprise and speculation
among the employees of the firm.
Rumors of various nature were afioat
last night as to the cause of his death
That he took an overdose of opium is the
only one in which any degree of reliability
may probably be placed.
Mr.. Oliver has been troubled for some
time with insomnia and has been in the
habit of taking opium to induce sleep.
Mrs. Oliver was awakened early yester-
day morning by the peculiar breathing of
her husband and, becoming alarmed. sum-
moned Drs. Jones and De Witt. When
the physicians arrived, Mr.. Oliver was I'M
conscious and remained so until the
moment of his death at Z 80 o'clock.
There is an impression IN the minds of
many that Mr.. Oliver voluntarily sought

A Notable Corner.

For fortv-fve successive years DR.. Glib
bon's Dispensary has been located on the
southwest corner Of Kearny and CONNER
cial streets, and until recently, when it
was removed to the northwest corner OF
the same streets.
During this almost half century DR..
Gibbon has treated with great skill every
conceivable disease, and has in thousands
of cases restored the very worst subjects of
suffering humanity to perfect health.
Dr; Glbbon has always enjoyed large
and lucrative practice. Of the thousands
of men and women who sought his SER
vices when sick it would be almost impos-
sible to single out one who has other than
the greatest faith in his ability, both as q
physician and surgeon. His long resi-
dence in this City as practicing physician
and surgeon ought to be sufficient to rec
ommend him as a competent and consci-
entious medical man.

death because he was unable to meet the
demands of his creditors

death because he was unable to meet the
demands of his creditors.
At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning meet
ing of creditors took place at the firm OF
Valleau & Oliver and adjourned immedl-
ately after the news of Mr.. Oliver death
had been conveyed to them.
The firm was heavily in debt to several
business houses of this city, and it was
rumored that the creditors had met to
compel assignment.
The residence of Mr.. Oliver is closed to
all outsiders. His family absolutely refuse
to make any communication with regard
to his affairs or his death.
Mr.. Oliver was born in Albany, n. Y,
in 1916. He has been in this State twenty
one years. He formerly was secretary and
treasurer of the Telephone Company and
also was treasurer of the United States
Carriage Company. For the past two
years he has been connected with the firm
of Valleau & Oliver.
Samuel Valleau, senior member OF the
firm, has been an inmate at the Napa In
sane Asylum for a number of years. The
whole responsibility of the business of a
consequence had fallen on the shoulders
of Mr.. Oliver.
Mr. divers life insurance amounted to
about $1,000.

THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS
How the Appropriation for
This Year Is to Be
Expended.
A New Bicycle Track to the Ocean
and Big Annex for the
Museum.

Within two or three weeks the Park
Co mmissioners will get their annual
appropriation and work will be COM
menced upon number OF projected i'm
provements in the park. The appropria-
ton this year will be larger than ever
before, 100000 being the amount set aside
for park purposes this year.
The first work to engage the attention of
Superintendent McLaren will be to
obliterate the unsightly ruins of the Mid
winter FAIR and cover the site with lawns,
walks and driveways. This in itself is d
work of no small proportions, as there is
an area OF about seventy acres which, as q
preliminary move, must be covered with
two feet OF loan. Every bit of this loan
will have to be carted distance of more
than two miles.
Concert Valley, the big basin in front of
the museum, will require good deal of
work before it is ready for concert pur-
poses. 1t will not be made deeper than it
now is, as was at first proposed. J. d.
Phelan was III favor of excavating for a
depth OF ten or fifteen feet in order to get
shelter from the strong winds that at
certain seasons of the year sweep in from
the ocean. This idea, however, has been

along the western entrance. The whole
| Enclosure will be terraced, the lawns will
be improved, and on the site of the pres
ent electric tower commodious band
stand will be erected. The sum of $40, 900
Is set aside for improvement on the Mid
winter Fair area, not including the
museum annex, plans for which have just
been completed. This building will be
constructed of brick two etories in heipht
| and 60x113 feet in size.
On the first floor there will be three large
halls, one for the mineral exhibit, one for
colonial relics, and one for an art gallery.
The upper floor has not been assigned as
yet An Important piece of work this
| year Will be the construction of a bicycle
track, to parallel the main driveway, from
| the Haight-street entrance to the ocean, a
distance OF something more than four
miles.
The boulevard will also be completed.
This, however, is but a matter of few
| months, as only one mile remains I'M
finished. All of the space fronting the
! present band-stand, now given UP to con-
cert purposes, is to be laid out for tennis
courts and croquet grounds.
There are some other plans for improve
ment this year, but all of minor import
ance In comparison with the work as out
lined above, which will probably exhaust
the appropriation. At least this is the
opinion of Superintendent McLaren, who
is enthusiastic over the plans laid out for
