Whether the Drug Was Taken with
Suicidal Intent Uncertain.

Atlanta, Ga, July n.-Dr. T. L. Gavey
of Oakland, ILL.,, killed himself here to-day
with an overdose of cocaine.
1t Is denied that he did it with suicidal
intent, and because of the doctrine of sui
eide, great trouble was experienced by the
press in getting the particulars.
DR.. Gavey was an habitual user of NOR
phine and cocaine. Some months ago he

Is usual In such cases. He is supposed to
have suffered great agony. Whether in
tentionally or not, he swallowed ten grains
of the drug and had no chance of life.
Owing to the noise he made the case at
tracted much sensational attention.

EnsInnd's Bank Holidays.

Edward Parritt In the Independent.
With regard to our English bank holi-
days, Il has often occurred 10 me that peo-
pie are liable TO get more out OF them than
can be got out OF the popular holidays
In this country. In the first place. three
out of the four occur on Monday, with
the result that the cessation of work in
connection with them extends over three
days-Saturday afternoon, Sunday and
Monday: and people are thus enabled 20
get away for a longer period than would
be the case n the bank holidays occurred

OF family reunions, the effect Of this ar
rangement Of the holidays Is remarkably
good. as may be seen by any one who

STILL KICKING OVER THE SEALS.
Collector Milne Answers the Criti-
cism of Prof. Thompson.

NoAACCtOE NhAAhe &AhsWtES the OrlIA-
cism of Prof. Thompson.
Victoria, B. g., July ia. r. Milne
collector of customs at this port, has
made a public statement, replying to the
criticism of Prof. Thompsons sealing re-
port, made by ]. H. Liebes, the sealing
expert of the American Commercial Com
pany.
Mr.. Milne says his report, which Mr..
Liebes attacks is absolutely correct, the
figures being given by the captains Of
schooners under oath and verified by dis
interested exports who spent the season
on different schooners. He says nobody
can tell male from female skin after
they have been in salt two or three
months, so 1t would be useless to have
skins examined here upon the arrival of
schooners.
A test was made of this two or three
years ago, and it was found impossible to
tell one skin from another with the ex-
ception of old bulls, which can be told by
the name. Mr.. Milne charges that the
officials at Washington include catches of
Puget Sound schooners to make it appear
wrong. He has the evidence of Capt May
nard of the Natural History Society, who
visited the island several years ago, that
most of the pups were killed by sand
storms. Canadian sealers are preparing
statistics to prevent, If possible, the Brit
ish government from meeting the view of
the United States and modifying the regu-
lations.

BRUNswICk's WATER WORKS.
The Owners Offer 20 Sell 10 the City
for 1925, 600.

Brunswick, Ca, July 1.-THE Morning
News correspondent learned to-day that
the secret sessions OF council held recent
ly bore directly on the water works prob
lem. 1t Is probable that as result a pro-
position to sell will be submitted to coun-
ell at its next meeting by representatives
of the bond holders. This proposition will
offer the plant for $4,000. payable yearly
at the rate of $4,000 per annum. The pres
ent rent paid by the city is 81 coo annual
~. The proposition win give the city the
option of throwing up the contract
a anytime she secs ut, and the payments
made to go as rent. but it will bind the
bondholders to sell regardless of any flu
ture disposition on their part to with
draw from the trade. Il was generally
conceded that the city had abandoned all
idea Of purchasing the plant, and so an
nOuneed locally and generally through
the press. This, the first lntlmation to
the contrary. will prove a
great surprise to Brunswlckians.
The people are unanimously in favor OF
the city owning it's water works system.
The question OF purchase and price Will
be discussed when the bondholders make
their proposition to council.
