AGAIN, ANOTHER SUICIDE
Charles EndI Ended His Life With a
Bullet Yesterday
He Was Single, Of German Descent, and for
Some Time Past Has Been
Dispirited

Charles Endl ended his life, shooting
himself through the heart with a revolver
at 7:40 am. yesterday, in his room at
the Hotel de Strasbourg, 504 Alameda
street.
Martin Lippe, young man employed
about the hotel, was with Endl shortly
before the shooting occurred. He had
stepped out into the hall a moment,
leaving his com panion in the room, ap-
parently reading, when the report of a
pistol was heard. and he rushed back and
found Endl lying on the floor dead, with
3S.caliber revolver lying at his side.
Other members of the household were
attracted by the noise. and soon large
crowd had gathered about the place. A
police officer took charge of the room un-
til the coroner was summoned, when the
body was removed to the undertaking
rooms OF Booth d Row, on Main street.
Charles Endl was born in st. Louis
thirty-five years ago. He was a single
man, of German descent. He came to
California several months agu and had
been employed IN the kitchen part of the
time since by his uncle, OF the same
name, who is proprietor OF the Strasboure
hotel. Endl was farmer and was very
much dissatisfied with having to wash
He had become entirely well. and his
relatives were urging him to secure some
EN- ployment at which he could bc con-
tented. He dropped about the place con-
tinuallv and always appeared despond:
ent and moody. Despite the efforts OF
his uncle and cousins to cheer him up.
by offering to find place for him on
ranch, he continued in his low spirits.
and insisted on being sent back 10 his
home in st. Louis. Though his cousins
claim never to have heard him talk of
suicide, a friend who knew him init
m mately says that he had spoken Of killing
himself several times of late.
An inquest was held over the remains
at Booth & Rows undertaking rooms
Yesterday afternoon and a verdict of sui
eide was rendered in accordance with the
facts as above.

GOOD ROADS

So much is said about good roads that
we propose to vary the subject little ana
utter few words about bad roads, which
are altogether too common in this great
CONN mmonwealth, and particularly in Los
Angeles county. The difficulty with our
roads is that nobody gives any attention
to keeping them in order. If they are
once improved that is an end of the busi-
ness until they become from pure neg
lect almost i'm mpassable. Such negligence
is not observed in reference to anything
else. The farmer looks after his fence
and repairs any defect he may find, and
SO the mechanic is constantly looking
after his tools and machinery to see that
they are IN good order. The housewife
sees to it day by day that everything
about her esta blishment is in place, and
if her husbands garments are worn or
torn she patches them: but when it
comes to public roads, which need atten-
tion more than anything else, they are
allowed to go to destruction before every
body's eyes. They are worked and
that is an end of the matter for a whole
year, and it may be for years. notwith-
standing the same roads get to be in
most horrible condition. The ioadmaster,
or road CONN issioner, acts precisely as
if he had done his whole duty in the
premises. and looks upon the destruction
of his work with heroic indifference. The
most frequently travelled roads, no inaU1o.
how badly cut up during the rainy sea-
son, are left in that condition all summer
and perhaps through another rainy sea-
son. The wear and tear upon wagons,
harness, horses and mems tempers 60 for
nothing, and the result is We have bad
roads the year through and year after
year, when a little timely attention would
give us such roads as we ought to have.
Here is the weak point in our road system.
The stitch in time is never taken. Our
roads are allowed to go to waste and
nobody looks after them. Our ways
should be mended as well as our high
wavs.

"FLUSH TIMES IN IRON"

The condition OF the iron market has
always been regarded as an index to the
general condltiontof trade. For some rea-
son the iron market is always the first to
feel changed conditions in mercantile cir
cles. "Flush times in iron" has always
led to flush times In other branches of
trade. Why this is the case is not hard
to figure out. This point is well covered
in an editorial in the New York World,
which says:
The Worlds Pittsburg dispatches show
a condition of the iron market which
puzzles the experts. They looked for a
reaction from the depression of last year.
but the reaction is so much greater than
they expected that it has not been ac
counted for.
Heretofore the building of new steam
railroads has been accepted as suthclent
to explain the uneXplalnable in the iron
trade, but it is clear we are too near the
limit in that direction to expect long
continued demand in that direction such
as has prevailed in the past.
While this is true. 1T must not be Tor
gotten that we are Just beginning to build
railroads of another Kind which will make
q large demand on our rail mills. 1t is
by no means impossible that in the next
twenty years we may lay more miles OF
track for electric roads than we have put
down for steam roads in the last twenty.
The probabilities for the increased use
ci structural iron are even stronger. The
demand for ii Is already great and is no
doubt one of the principal causes OF the
present activity in production. In all large
buildings in the cities iron is now used
tu an extent that would have heen thought
in posi- bic few yeaIs ago. The odern
city building is stone, iron and brick.
Wood is disappearing from it except Tor
finshlngs.
In addition to such special causes as
this there is highly satisfactory genera
cause in the increasing prosperity OF tn e
county. From the girl at the typewriter
IN the merchant office to the locomotive
engineer. almost if not quite all who
work, work in iron or with it. More iror
means more work and better opportu
mites for everybody.

although it was impossible to state 1us'
what turn her injuries may take.
The name of the boy who caused the
accident could not be learned.

An Event Of Surprising Interest and Pleas
ure Last Evening

An Event Of Surprising Interest and Pleas.
ure Last Evening
Westlake park last evening was scene
of gaiety and spectral beauty. The night
air was redclent with the perfume of rare
flowers and resonant with the measures
of merry laughter and sweet music. The
lake, the avenues and the pavilion were
brilliantly Illuminated, and the whole
picture was enlivened by the presence of
animated youth. The occasion was
boating fete given by the Y.W.C.A., and
it was most gratifying success. The
purpose was to raise funds for the erec-
ton and equipment of summer house
for that organization.
The splendid entertainment was due
in a large measure to TIE efforts of Miss
Bristol, chairman of the outing com nit
tee of the organization. In all that has
been accomplished for the advancement
of this worthy organization this young
woman has always been foremo ost figure,
and her rare executive ability and untlr-
ing efforts have been a potent influence.
1t is gratifying to record that what she,
with the associates, have done has re-
suited. within less than two years, in
establishing one of the leading social and
reform organizations OF the coast, and in
gathering mem bership numbering
about two hundred young women.
Notable anon those OF Los Angeles
who have lent their talent to this worthy
project is Miss Morse. general secretary
of the national organization, who is now
in tho east attending the general as
SENT of the training school depart
ment. For many years she has eXerted a
powerful influence on social and moral
lines in this city and state, and her name
now lends luster to the annals OF the
Y.W.C.A. of the nation.
The musical programme was furnished

was fully equal to the best work of that
popular oreanization. The selections
were made douoly effective by being rom
dered from a special gondola, arranged
for the musicians use and which was
