Colgate team presented only four men in

lower in the record column and third

hope of retaining last years honor van

their record of straight runs is still UNI

JlNKOWIqZ'S DESPAIR.
When His Debtors Daughter
Married He Tried to Kill
Himself With Gas

Moritz Jankowitz, a dry goods dealer,
at No. Ais Washington street, Hoboken.
made an unsuccessful attempt TO end mis-
life last evening because he feared that
one of his debtors intended to defraud
him.
About seven o'clock last evening the
tenants over Jankowitz's store detected
a strong odor of gas throughout the
building. Micnael Bowes, a plumber, who
owns the building, was notified, and he
turned off the gas at the meter until he
discovered the leakage,
A room in the rear of J~ankowitz's store
was found locked, ard Policeman McKen-
ma was called INTO investigate. The door
vas forced open and Jankowitz was
found lying on a table in the room with
his shoes off and two comforters under
mis- head. He seemed surprised when the
door was forced OPEN. Mckenna forced
him into the hallway. 1t was found
that two gas jets had been turned on and
gas flied the room.
Il thought it was strange remarked
J~ankowitz, when brought into the hall
way that no more gas flowed into the
ROOM
Jankowitz did not know that the gas
had beeIfturned off when the Grants de-
tected the Odor in the house. City Ply
stefan Simon attended J~ankowski. and
said that he would recover as he had not

Policeman McKenna that he did not want
to live any longer because Daniel RoSen-
dorf, of No. 5l9 Bloomfield street. owed
him a large sum of money and hat he
feared that Rosendorf. intended to de-
fraud him.
1t appears that Rosendorf's daughter,
Lillian, was married last evening in the
Quartette Club Hail to Marcus Bischoff
of New York. 1t was a brilliant we'd
ding. Jankowftz, it appears, has known
R~osendorf many years and has had bust
ness dealings with him. When he learned
ried in luxurious style he feared that
Rosendorf was paying the expenses of the
wedding and that he intended to defraud
Rosendorf owed him. Jankowitz was not
invited to atteAd the wedding and it
preyed heavily upon his mind. As a re-
suit, he became respondent and decided
Jankowitz had nothing to say when he
was taken to Police Headquarters, but
confessed hat he intended to commit
suicide. Captain Hayes ordered him
locked up. City Physician Simon said that
it would be necessary to watch JankowitZ
as he was in a respondent mood and
would probably carry out his threat to
end his life unless he was watched by the
police. The dbormen watched Jankowitz
during the night but he made no further
effort to kill himself.
Jankowitz lived with his wife and four
small children on the top floor of No.
422 Washington street. two doors above
his dry goods store. Mrs. Jankowitz told
the police that her husband had frequent
ly threatened to commit suicide owing to
a depression of business and that she
watched his movements. He left home
last evening saying that he would go to
his store to light the gas for the night
but never returned. Mrs. Jankowitz be-
came hysterical when she learned that
her husband had tried to end his life by
asphyxiation.

girl, small for her age, was before Police
