Is said, need not necessarily have resulted rom the effects of smoking, but was probably due to other causes Many of the young mans friends now deny that he smoked excessively, although there are several who still maintain to the contrary. It was agreed by all the doctors that to- bacco alone could not have caused his death.
 It was also brought out by the testi- mony or witnesses that Sukeforth was never Tn the habit of using drugs, that nothlng IS known of his having gone to a orug store to purchase them, nor have any of his friends given him any at any time. It was further shown that no pottleS or traces of a drug of any kind could be found in the room or about the young mans clothes Thus. while this theory will be generally accepted. the na- ture or the drug and the manner of ob- ta1ning 1t can only be matters of coniec- ture. And the mystery Of the young students early death can never there fore. be anything more than mere con lecture.
 The Coroner's. jury. after listening to the evidence offered, returned a verdict that death was due to some cause or causes unknown.

 Alameda

Shortly after the ferry-boat Garden City left the dock on her 10:15 o'clock trip to Alameda a gentleman standing in the forward part of the boat noticed a woman acting rather strangely in the saloon. He turned toward her, but as he did so she ran out hurriedly past him. He heard splash and cry, and, looking out, saw an arm stretched out above the water, and the cry, this time muffied, was repeated. He at once gave the alarm, the engines were stopped. boats lowered and a thorough search made, but no trace of the woman could be found. The only clew to her identity is an umbrella left in the sa- loon. It is an ordinary black umbrella, with a handle shaped like shepherds crook
