When told that he would have to be de.
tanned in the hospital till taken before the
Insanity Commissioners tomorrow morn
ing, he raised his hands and said: "My
God, what shall do? They will tear nv
house down as sure as l am a living man.
Can nothing be done to get me out of thisP
L can give substantial bonds for my ap-
pearance on Monday. You can see I am
not insane"
The old mans fear for his house was so
real and his appearance was so free from
insanity that Judge Slack was communi-
Gated with. The Judge went to the hos
pital, and after brief conversation with
Simpson he wrote OFT an order for his re-
lease.

Simpson left the hospital and laid his

was told that he would be properly pro-

SUICIDE OF JOHN MUTH.
Despondent Over Business Re.
verses, He Fatally Shoots
Himself.
Was at One Tine the Agent of a
Large Milwaukee Brewing
Concern.

John Muth, at one time Pacific Coast
agent of the Schlitz Malt Extract com.
mitted suicide by shooting in the park
yesterday. He was despondent over his
financial affairs, and took this means of
ending his earthly troubles.
The body was found by Thomas Monroe,
foreman in the park, who was attracted to
the scene of the shooting by the report of
the pistol. He found the body reclining
on bench, with the head thrown back,
near the Haight-street entrance of the
park. Blood flowed from wound in the
right temple. The man was dead.
Foreman Monroe telephoned to the
Morgue. and Deputy Coroner O'Brien had
the body removed. An inquest will be
held. Letters were found in the pockets
of the dead mans clothing showing that
he was financially embarrassed. He had
been trying to raise money for several
months, but his efforts in this direction
were unsuccessful. He had difficulty with
his partner in business, and some time ago
dissolution of the agency resulted. Since
that time Muth went from bad to worse.
So he determined to take his life, and with
that intention he purchased a new pistol
yesterday morning and repaired to the
spot in the park where the deed was con-
summated. He lived at $40 Golden Gate
avenue.
The deceased has brother living in Los
Angeles. He was a native of Germany
and about So years of age.

SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY
1t Will Put a Municipal Ticket
Into the Field This
Year.
WILL ORGANIZE THE STATE
The Rapid Growth of the Organization
Within the Past Four or
Five Years.

The Socialist Labor party is making
active preparations to put ticket in the
field during the coming campaign. Not
only is it their purpose to enter into local
politics, but they will get out and work in
all parts of the State. This is a part of the
plan for eventually taking hand in Ma
tional politics.
AT the last Presidential election the So
cialists polled $4,000 votes in New York
and Massachusetts, for Mr.. Wing, the can
didate for President of the United States.
There are at present in San Francisco six
branches of the party, two American, Ger
man, French. Jewish and Italian. There
was project to organize an rish-Ameri-
can branch, but it was found undesirable
to have too many branches speaking the
same language. It is the wish to do away
with the Language branches as fast as
possible. and consolidate all in one broth
erhood as soon as all are able to express
themselves in the prevailing language.
These branches have been selecting the
members of the State executive commit
tee, and on next Tuesday night these re-
turns will be made at the Temple at lis
Turk street. This section will at once
take In hand the work of organizing the
State. In all probability E. I. Kingsley
Will be the State organizer, he being the
only nominee for the position named so
far.
In this city the first work will be to
organize in the Assembly districts, begin

George w. Simpson, Locksmith,
Arrested on Complaint of
a Neighbor.
RELEASED BY JUDGE SLACK.
Simpson Says His Neighbors Want
Him Out of the Way to Tear
His House Down.

The question of whether George w.
Simpson is insane and dangerous person
to be at large will be determined by the
Insanity Commissioners tomorrow.
Yesterday morning Louis Helbing, 529
Frederick street, went before Judge Heb
bard and swore out warrant for Slmp-
sons arrest on the ground of insanity.
The warrant was handed to Policeman
Durkin who placed Simpson under ar
rest and had him taken to the City Prison
and then to the Receiving Hospital in the
patrol wagon.
Simpson is locksmith, aud lives in an
old shanty at 613 Shrader street. The
retary of the Odd Fellows Cemetery As
sociation, and Simpson has occupied the
building for many years.
The surrounding buildings are all hand
some family residences, and for years the
owners have been endeavoring to get
Simpson away from the neighborhood, as
the shanty was an eyesore to them. They
have dumped their garbage in his lot and
have done other things to drive him away,
but he has refused to be driven.
Two weeks ago last Wednesday Simpson
had Policeman Moran, whose beat is in
that neighborhood, before the Police Com.
missioners for neglect of duty. He had
subpenaed about fifty witnesses, men and
| women, to testify against the policeman,
but after the Commissioners had listened
to the evidence of about half a dozen they
dismissed the case, President Tobin re-
marking that it was the most frivolous
ever brought before the board. When the
waiting witnesses were notified of the re-
suit they broke into cheers, and Sim pson
did not show his face among them, but
waited till they had all left the CITY Hall
Yesterday afternoon when taken to the
hospital Simpson declared his arrest as
an outrage 'It is DONE" he yehementIv

would be proper to leave all details of the con-

After that no more Investigations along that
line were made. 1t is a matter of regret now
that the many casual remarks Mr.. wsmerding ling
made on the subject were not recorded, but it
is certain that they lett no impression that he
had any idea that the school might be estab
lished outside the limits OF San Francisco
County. His comment on Mr.. Alyord's snp-
gestion of The Potrero looks like strong affirma
tive evidence, does it not?
The first hint that the school might be estab
lished outside the limits of San Francisco was
enuine surprise to those who were near Mr.
Wilmerding all through the time he had the
subject under consideration. The Regents of
the University having the weight of the re-
sponsibility resting upon them are entitled to
much consideration. They should be in

TaE'kI[ [nfBD|NG SCHOOL
-
The Aged Capitalist Intended 1t
to Be Erected in This
City.
Three Reputable Citizens Tell What
Was Contemplated When the
Will Was Made.

Since the Board of Regents has had
under consideration the establi shment OF
the Wilmerding School of Arts there has
been much speculation as to the wishes OF
the late ]. C. Wilmerding when he by his
will provided for the school. The ques-
ton of where the donor intended the COL
lege to be erected has been caused by the
recent claims of several communities for
the establishment of the school in their
midst, as against the claim OF San Fran
cisco, Mr.. WiImerding's home. Through
the efforts of j. r. Freud of the Mer-
chants Association it is now conclusi We
that the intention was that the schnol
should be in this City, and nowhere else.

more names than sufficient for the desired

purpose.
While this work is in progress the or
ganization of the State will be in progress.
There are now chartered sections in San
Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Los Angeles,
San Diego, and the section in Santa Cruz
will receive its charter as soon as the State
executive committee assemblies The So
cialists in Los Angeles are preparing to
enter municipal politics this year and put
up a ticket of candidates for the city
officers.
The State organizer will probably begin
the ball rolling there will visit Stockton
for the same purpose. 1t is more than
likely that socialist tickets will be put out
in several OF the California cities named.
The vignette that will appear on all of
their tickets will be the mechanics arm
and uplifted hammer. This was adopted
at the last socialist convention held in
New York and has been generally ac-
cepted by all of the socialists in the United
States. Many in this City are now wear
ing the button of the party. A week or so
ago lot of these buttons were received in
this City and are now extensively worn.
They groundwork is in red enamel and
the arm and hammer are in black and
white. AttEe bottom are the letters S. L.
p, in white enamel.
The National Convention of the Social
ist Labor party will be held in New York
on next July 4. There was not dissenting
voice as to the selection of that date. AT
that convention candidates for the posi-
tions of President and Vice. President of
the United States will be nominated.
Delegates to the National Convention will
be sent from nearly every State in the
Union. Four years ago the socialist rep
resentation was confined to the New Eng
land and Middle States. Reports state
that the party is spreading out, particu-
larly in the Southern States. Large num-
bers have been recently converted to the
doctrines of socialism in Texas, Colorado
and the Northwestern States.

The ladies who have charge of the San
Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children
at $40 Harrison street yesterday held re-
ception to friends of the institution. The
object of the reception was to interest the
people in the home and its wards, who
are now seventy in number. The eldest of
these are II and there are seventeen under
3 years of age. The visitors were enthusi-
astic in their commeDdation of the bright,
cleanly appearance of the children, and
the homelike appearance of the institu-
ton was favorably commented upon.
An interesting programme was ena cted
IN the kindergarten room as follows:
Vocal solo, Miss Wagner; recitation, Miss
Beveridge; "Shining STAR Japanese drill,
Misses E. Catherine Lusa. Marguerite
Larzelere, E. Josephine Larzeiere.i Char
Iotte E. Parks, Ellen Stone, Isabel Lervin,
MilIie Redell, Sadie Phillips, Eva E. Jef-
fiery and Carrie W. Morris; games and
songs, nursery children vocal solo, Miss
Anita Taggard; vocal solo. Miss Belle
Scotchler; recitation, Mrs. Langsboth.
The institution is comparatively young
and the ladies hope by interesting people
in the children to enlarge their subscrip-
ton list
