SIMON woRM&R DEAD.
The Banker Was Found Dying of Apop1exy
 on the Sidewalk.

on the Sidewalk.
 NEW YORK, July 31.-After playing a game of cards as was his nightly custom, Simon Wormser, the banker, left his home, S36 Fifth avenue at 9:30 clock last even- ing in his usual good health. Ten minutes later he was found dying on the stoop of the house 70 East Sixty-six street. Be- fore medical assistance arrived he was dead. Apoplexy was the cause.
 Simon Wormser was 70 years old. He was born in Landau, Bavaria, and had been a widowcr since 1878. He leaves four children, all sons. They are Maurice M. Alexander J., Isidore and Louis w. The first three are members of the banking firm, while Louis W. is studying law.
 Simon held a small government position in Bavaria, which he gave up to come to this country in 1858. He went to Califor- mia and was followed two years later by Isidore. They started general merchant disc store near San Francisco under the name of s. & I. Wormser. As all pay ments were made to them in gold, they gradually drifted into the banking busi- ness. In 1866 Simon came to this city and established the present banking house. Isidorc came in 1873, and the old sign oi $. x l. Wormser was hung out.
 MT. Wormser was director in the Man haitian Elevated Railroad company and on the boards of directors of several trust companies. He was also a member of tht Progress and other clubs and of a number | of benevolent organizations.

Injunction Against ''The Crime of Centu-

 SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-Judge Mur- phys courtroom looked as if the Durant trial were in progress, but it was not In- stead the actors and managers of the All cazar thcater held the boards in an en- deavor to show why they should not be punished for contempt for playing The Crime of Century, in defiance of an or der of the court. The case of Mir. w. R. Daily, the manager of the company, was first called. His attorneys endeavored to show that the play had no reference to the Durant case, but Judge Murphy said it made no difference if they played Ham let;" the play itself cut little figure. It was the violation of the injunction of the court instead of taking legal means to have the injunction set aside that consti- tuted the contempt.
 The case was not finished and was post pOned until Saturday. In the meantime Daily will rest in jail until he can procure bonds. When the play was stopped, Daily announced on the stage that the perform ance would go on as usual, but Judge Murphy made the actors promise that they would make no further attempt to pro- duce the play, and they were allowed to go.
