The fact that the Washington Club rooms
were filled with highly cultured and fash
ionable audience Saturday afternoon, not
withstanding the inclement weather, was
tribute to the personal interest felt in Miss
Mary kimball, who gave her first public
piano recital on that occasion. The spon-
taneous and liberal applause which fol-
lowed every number she played and the
encores she received testified to the excel
ience of her work. Her program was
varied one, including gavotte and varia-
tions by Rameau, two preludeS and etudes
and the berceuSe by Chopin, two preludes
in the minor mode by De Koven; three
numbers by MacDowell. "Improvization,

EMBEZZLERs COMMIT SUICIDE.
Charles Brown and f. l.. Candy Were
Bank Officers.

A dispatch from Vancouver, Wash. yes
terday says: Charles Brown and E. l..
Candy, president and cashier, respectively,
of the First National Bank of Vancouver
which was closed yesterday by the con-
troller of the currency, committed suicide
last night two miles from this city by
shooting themselves with a revolver Their
bodies were found this morning lying to-
gether in a small clump of bushes. Both
used the same weapon. Candy evidently
died first, as the revolver was found in
Browns hand. Each put the muzzie of the
revolver to his mouth and blew the top
OF his head off.
The fact that Browns bicycle and an
umbrella Of Canby's were found a short
distance out Of town last night led to the
belief that they had taken their lives. A
searching party started out today, and af-
ter several hours search the bodies were
found.
Candy, upon being told by Bank Exam
iner j. W. Maxwell on Friday evening
that the bank would not be permitted to
open Saturday, went out in the yard be-
hind the bank and attempted to shoot
himself. His revolver failed to explode
He then returned to the bank, and he and
President Brown lett together, taking a
revolver with them.
When Examiner Maxwell confronted the
bank officials with the shortage of SS1 600
both men admitted their guilt. 1t is said
that Brown ana CanDV ndu Deen SDecu-
iating IN stocks. Beside Browns body
there was found a package containing $25
and a note saying that the money be-
ionged to his daughter. Upon Canby's
body the following brief note was found:
Ny Dear Wife: 1 feel what I am about
to do is for THE best. Forgive me If YOU
can, and try to- live for our dear children
God bless you all Goodbye. NED.
Brown, who was, lf1fty-four years of age,
had lived in Vancouver since 1862 Candy
was ifty-two years of age, and was well
connected. A ,,brotf{er is a paymaster in
the United States army.
Another brother, committed suicide by
jumping off the wharf at Vancouver sew
While Bank Examiner Maxwell. who is
now in charge, as receiver, has made no
official statement, At is known that the
bank has loaned a, large sum of money on
insufficient seepritiss. According to hts
report to the, CONTROLLER Of the currency
there is a shortages $Sl 600 In the bank 8
accounts, and It Isl, understood that a con-
siderable portien OF this amount was loan
ed to Brown and Candy on their personal
notes. About year ago the bank reduced
it's capital stock from 100000 to $4,000. At
that time about one-half of the so-called
bad assets were charged off, and have
been carried as asset since that time

Suggests Reference to Health Office

Mr.. VIM. T. Frizzer today wrote Capt
Beach, the District Engineer Commission
er, that he has noticed in The Star that
the opinion of the attorney for the District,
Mr. A. B. Duvall, in the Childs brick yard
case is that a regulation cannot be retro
active. That, Mr.. Frizzeli thinks, is good
law.
1T occurs 10 me, however, says Mr.
FriZzeu, that the health department
might take cognizance of the situation
after the fires are started in the kilns and
the health, comfort and convenience of the
people in the neighbo1 hood become affected
If this cannot be done, allow me to sug-
gest that, In view of the fact that many
of the people affected are poor and unable
to contribute to the expense of a law suit
the District might very properly petition
the Equity Court to restrain the operation
of the kilns, whereby offensive odors and
eff1uvia penetrate the neighboring resi-
dences.''

done very little literary work since his
! ambassadorial retirement five years
ago. The marquis's services to the
state-which have covered the period
from 1855 Cwhen he was attached to
Earl Russell's special mission to Wen

Gus enough to entitle him to the high
