DROPPED FROM SIGHT,
Charles Blllman Tells His Friends
That He Intends to Com.
nit Suicide.
He Is Supposed to Have Tied Rocks to
His Body and Then Jumped
Into the Bay.

Charles Billman has been missing from
his place of business, 1919 Eddy street.
since Tuesday morning, and there is every
reason to believe that he has committed
suicide by jumping into the bay.
Billman was employed in the San Fran
cisco laundry as marker, which position
he has capably filled for more than three
years, and some months ago he made a
trip to South America for the benefit of
his health, returning to the City apparently
much improved.
1t seems, however, that in a few weeks
he was again taken sick and In conse-
quence became very respondent He told
several OF his friends at the laundry and
elsewhere that he was tired of living, and
before many days he would bid them all q
long farewell. That was the nearest he
ever came until Tuesday of saying that he
intended TO commit suicide.
tuesday morning he appeared at the
laundry as usual. but about 9 o'clock
asked to be relieved for time, as he was
not feeling we'll. Billman went immedi-
ately TO his room, donned an old suit anc
putting couple of gunny sacks and
stout rope under his arm started for the
Labor Com missioner'S office. There he
met couple OF friends, passed few
pleasant moments and then startled his
companions by announcing his intention
to take his own life. Bidding them a
hasty goodby, he started for Market street.
The friends started in hot pursuit.
Biilman, observing that he was followed,
jumped Car going in the direction OF the
ferry. That was the last time Billman
was seen, so far as known.
Wednesday night George Holbeck, 612
Pine street, who was Billman's closest
friend, received the following letter, posted
at p NJ. Tuesday:
George: Watch, chain, $40. CHARLEY.
In the envelope was found two Wells
Fargo receipts calling for a package val
ued at $50 and money package contain
ing $40.
Holbeck is confident that his friend
filled the sacks with rocks, tied them
about him and then jumped into the bay.
Blelman came to San Francisco about
ten years ago from Australia. He was
popular with those who knew him, being
sober, industrious and intelligent, and evil
IDENTIFY OF good family. Some of his friends
contend that he is the son of titled Eng
llshman and that he left home about
twelve years ago owing to some family
trouble.

party broke up he told Miss Crowley he
could not get it off his finger but would
return it to her the following day. In.

All trace of these Holsters has been lost,
and DR.. Smith as well as Captain Brice,
the new Fish Commissioner, wants to
know the reason of it. In the ordinary

at is good deal of mystery" said Dr.
Smith yesterday, who had just arrived
from Washington, D. c., ''and we want to
find out what has become of them.
Sometimes 1 think they are along the
coast in plenty, but are too sly to get
caught. The Eastern lobster is very cum
ming, and it is difficult to get him into the
trap unless the trap is made just right. l
have thought, maybe, the fishermen did
not understand these Holsters.
This lobster is to the crustaceans what
the fox is to the animal kingdom. He is
exceedingly shrewd, and in addition to
having trap that is just the thing, the
fisherman must manipulate it without
making any mistakes.
"The Government has made tour or five
attempts to get these Holsters started, the
last being in 1889. We planted them in
Monterey Bay, off the coast of Mendocino
County, and other places, as well as up on
the coast OF Washington.
The California lobster has no claws, but
the Eastern lobster has a tremendous
claw and there is more meat in it than
on all the rest of his body. The average
| weight of the latter lobster is about two
pounds, but there was one captured some
time ago that is now illustrated life-sized
in the reports that weighed twenty three
pounds. 1t was simply giant among the
Holsters.

Bets Were Declared OFF.

David Eiseman, an employe OF bookmakers
at the Ingleside racetrack, swore to complaints
in Judge Campbells court yesterday for the
arrest of w. T. Fitzgerald and John Doe''
Connors on the charge of misdemeanor embez-

handed pool ticket by Connors and paid him
SIS for Frank Eckart, the bookmaker. He
also paid Fitzgerald $23 for Pau Ridley the
bookmaker. Both Sums were paid as soon as
the race was run and before the judges had
declared the result. The horses were disuuall-
fed and all bets were declared off. Connors
and Fitzgerald refused to return the money,
hence the warrants.
