II the board of control was gifted
with the power of mind reading and
was secreted somewhere around the
mayors office last night 1t would have
felt very perceptlble sensation of
warmth around the lower extremity of
the left ear.
The executive committee of the high
school alumni association was in ses-
sion there. The committee in its wise
discretion didn't say much, but from
some few remarks unconsciously drop
ped there was no mistaking that the
committee was exercising to it's fullest
extreme the indefeasible prerogative to
think.
Everything had been arranged for
the annual meeting and dinner and the
committee was resting after its labors,
waiting with pardonable pride and
pleasant anticipation for the enconiums
that the association would shower upon
1t when 1t would be seen how perfectly
lovely everything had been prepared
for the members entertainment, when
along comes the board of control and in
face of previously given assurances,
knocks everything endways by denying
the use of the high school.
Some of the committee wanted to
pass a resolution then and there con-
veying the associations compliments to
the board, but wiser counsel prevailed
and it was decided to wait until they
all get together at the annual meeting
and then, as Chairman Davidson clas-
sically put it, soc ct tuem."
Just how the emergency is to be met
the committee could not figure out, but
at all events 1t was resolved the affair
should occur and on schedule time at
that. Mr.. Davidson and Mr.. Beamish
were appointed a committee to secure
hall, arrange for the banquet, dance,
business meeting and such and report
progress at a meeting to be held Satur-
day evening in the mayors office. The
old Faraut hause, now used py st.
Luke's parish for a kindergarten, was
suggested as a convenient and well ap-
pointed place for the affair and it is
quite possible it will be held there.

0'HARA'S DESPERATE ACT
Committed Suicide by Hanging Himself
in a Barn Sin the Rear of
ZeidIer's Bakery.

Henry O'Hara. of Washington ave-
nue.. committed suicide yesterday af-
ternoon in a barn in Raymond court
in the rear of Zeidlers' bakery on
Franklin avenue, by suspending him
self from a beam. he used a leather
rein, one end of which was firmly
knotted to his neck.
The only explanation of O'Hara's
desperate act is that he was suffer-
ing from temporary dementia.
The exact time of O'Hara's act Is
not known. John LaBarne, the hostler
left the barn at noon, going out to
drive a wagon load of coal. At 8
o'clock he returned and at 3.45 La
Barne went upstairs to the loft to
get hay for the horses. The steps are
a steep flight. When La Barne reached
the top he was startled at seeing the
body of a man suspended almost di-
rectly above him. He felt the body.
1t was cold and life was extinct.
La Barne went to Lackawanna ave-
nue. and informed Patrolman Finley
Ross of his ghastly find.
A step ladder led from the second
floor of an opening to the loft. O'Hara
must have assembled the ladder and
carefully measured the required length
of rein that would clear his feet from
the floor. He then tied the rein to
the beam and finally looped it about
his neck and stepped off the ladder,
slowly strangling to death. What
caused him to select the barn as his
death place is not known. He was
rarely seen there.
DR.. Pennypacker, who was summoned
in the absence of Coroner Longstreet,
who investigated case at Carbondale
yesterday, judged that O'Hara had
been dead at least three hours be-
fore his body was found.
The remains were removed to Raub's
undertaking establishment, pending an
inquest by the coroner. O'Hara was
Go years of age and has lived in this
city since 1864. A wife and six chill
dren survive him.
