The chamber of commerce rooms have
witnessed a round of love feasts since

tariff committee commenced to return.

Saturday night. B. F. Allen got back
Monday, and H. X. Snow, of Tustin,
reached Los Angeles yesterday morn

are the growers and the delegates re-
joicing.

man was brought into the police

They were not wheels In his head, how

which he Is accused Of having stolen.
He is colored man by the name of Hill

On the night Of July 9Th the four
wheels disappeared from a wagon be-
longing 10 w. F. Bosbyshell & Co., agri-
cultural and implement dealers. The
matter was reported at the police de-
partment but for time no trace Of the

wagon with four new wheels. He was

DR.. Elizabeth Palmer Found
at the Last Gasp
BY ACCIDENT OR DESIGN +?
THE IDEA OF SUICIDE SECUTED
BY HERSELF
And Her Friends Indignantly Deny
the suggestion-A Victim Of
Neuralgia

DR.. Elizabeth j. Palmer, whose Of
fees and rooms are in the Bancroft lodg-
ing house. No. 727 South Broadway, was
found in a comatose state yesterday
morning, and 1t was thought by those
attending her that the doctor had at
tempted suicide.
At 9 o'clock servant was told by the
landlady to call DR.. Palmer to break
peated knocks on her door. The host
ess quickly got stepladder and peered
through the transom. .,....",.. .--..r...
Or. Palmer was discovered lying mo-
tionless upon the bed, and all efforts to
arouse her on the part of those outside
the rooms proved futile.
Entrance to the rooms was finally eff
fected by raising a window in the hall,
and DR.. Palmer was found to be breath
ing heavily and unconscious.
A heavy linen towel, thoroughly satu-
rated with chloroform was lying across
the doctors mouth and nostrils, and
the rooms were filled with the odor of
the drug.
A messenger was quickly sent to the
offices OF DR.. Wilder Dwight, who re-
sponded promptly and administered the
usual restoratives. under which DR..
Palmer rallied and was soon pronounced
out of danger.
AS soon as she gained consciousness,
Dr. Palmer stated that she had not
thought of taking her own life, and ridi-
culed the idea Of suicide. She said that
she had been in great pain all OF the
night previous, and had placed cold
compress of cfloroform to her aching
side to alleviate her suffering.
BY some means wholly unaccountable
to her, the towel had been lifted to her
lips and she had inhaled SO much of
the fumes as to render her unconscious.
DR.. Palmer expressed the belief that
when the narcotic began to effect her
she mechanically raised her hand, and
the compress was transferred to her
face.
For several weeks past DR.. Palmer has
suffered intensely from attacks of neu-
ralgia of the stomach, and she has es'-
sayed to prescribe for herself.
A close friend, w. P. Larkins, a
Broadway real estate man, who has beer
a constant caller for some months past
has been waiting on her during her ILL
ness. 1t was reported that Mr.. Larkin
and DR.. Palmer had quarreled, and the
lady, becoming respondent, had en-
deavored to end her existence because
of the estrangement.
DR.. Palmer's friends, however, treat
the report with contemptuous denials,
and assert that Mr.. Larkin and the
lady have never had cause for estrange-
ment. They have been warm friends
for years, and each has arrived at an
age when their good judgment would
preclude the possibility of such a step.
Last night DR.. Palmer's condition was
such as to encourage the hopes Of her
friends that she would ultimately re-
cover.
Mr.. Larkin telephoned to The Herald
last evening that the report of DR..
Palmer's attempted suicide was arrant
nonsense and not at all founded in fact.
Mr.. Larkin was exceedingly anxious
that The Herald should make no use
of the story as stated above which, how
ever. had been thoroughly investigated
and verified.
