BERGER's IOTEL.
Clara Schinn, a Waitress, Made 8
Probably SIcccsgfui Attempt at
the Ulinsts House.

DR.. Schenck was called last night to
Weinbergers Hotel, 10 and II East Louis
lana street. where it said of the
roomers was lying in his room in an uncon-
scious condition. The doctor hurried to the
hotel and found an old man suffering from
what was thought to be morphine poison
ing. The man was sent to the City Hos
pital. where he died last night.
The clerk at the hotel said the old man
came there yesterday afternoon and regis
tered as A. Williams, of Greenwood. AS
he wrote the name of Williams he seemed
disturbed about something, and the at
tention of the clerk was drawn to him. He
was assigned TO a room. Last night one
of the chambermaids in looking into the
room saw the old man lying on the bed,
dressed in his street clothes. She thought
nothing more of the incident and did not
notify the office until several hours later.
Then an examination was made and the
old man could not be awakened. On a
table in the room was a small paper con-
tanning morphine. This was taken to the
City Hospital.
Who the man is remains a mystery. He
is thought to be about seventy-five years
old. He wore a long beard and was dressed
In plain clothes. Nothing was found on
his person that would aid in identifying
him.

LINES To BE IMPROVED
MORTGAGE OF THE NEW LONG,
DISTANCE TELEPHONE COMPANY.
The Company Will Use in the Next
Few Year. 81 ,OOO, 900 I'm Inn
provements.

The New Long Distance Telephone Com
pany yesterday filed a mortgage for $1,000
600 to the Union Trust Company of In
dianapolis to secure payment on 200 gold
bearing 5 per cent bonds, payable in
twenty years. The bonds numbered from 1
to 800 are for $1,000 each and from sol to
12Oo are for $500 each. The mortgage covers
all the tangible property Of the company in
the following counties: Bartholomew,
Boone. Carroll, Cass. Clinton, Decatur. Del
aware, Fayette, Fountain, Franklin, Grant,
Hamilton, Hancock, Henry, Howard, Jack
son. Jennings, Johnson, Madison, Marion,
Montgomery, Morgan, Owen, Parke. Put
nam. Rush, Shelby, Tippecanoe. Upton.
Wabash, Wayne and Vigo.
The money will be used for the general
improvement of the service. A H. Nordyke
stated last evening that the greater amount
of the funds will be used to purchase new
copper wire for new circuits and additional
lines over the leads already In use in
various parts of the State. He said the
company will expend about $4,000 this year
and probably about 100000 next year, as
the service needs TO be enlarged on account
of the rapidly growing business. He said 1t
may be some time before 1t will be neces-
sary to use the total amount of the loan,
but the officers of the company deemed 1t
advisable to secure the 81, 100000 at one time
rather than drag along making several
mortgages to improve the system.

WOMAN ROUGHLY HANDLED
MRS. KITTIE HAUK ATTACKED BY A
MAN ON GREER STREET.
Near Her Home and Husband She Was
Waylaid-In Bad Condition from
the Shock.

Mrs. Kittie Hauk, wife of Charles A.
Hauk, Big Four brakeman. living at 40
Greer street. was mysteriously assaulted
last night about 10 o'clock within one
hundred feet of her home. where her hus-
band sat reading. She was badly bruised
about the neck and breast and one finger
was lacerated by her assaiant. Last night
she suffered so severely that she had diff
ficulty in breathing.
Mrs. Hauk said she and her sister-in-law
bad been down town visiting the latter
husband at the Union Station and were re-
turning home. She left her sister-in-law at
the corner OF Stevens street and Virginia
avenue and started home alone. AS she
turned into Stevens street she noticed n

Ill she got into Greer street. From Stevens
street to McCarty Greer street is very dark
and she again took the middle of the street.
AS she passed the first alley south of
Stevens street she agan SAW the strange
man coming out of the mouth of the
alley. He started toward her and she ran
toward the sidewalk. AS she reached the
curbing within two are three houses from
her own home the man grabbed her around
the neck. He did not utter any sound, but
forced her TO the pavement. She said she
grappled with him. but the tight hold he
had on her throat would not permit any
outcry.
After forcing her TO the pavement the
man fell with his knees against her breast
In the struggle she placed one hand against
his face, and he bit her finger. When he
loosened his hold on her throat she gave
several outcries. which attracted the at
tention OF her husband. The latter ran to
the front gate and saw his wife lying on
a patch OF grass between the curb and the
sidewalk he did not realize at once that

CLARA sCHINN TOOK ACID.
A Discharged Waitress Thought She
Wanted to Die.

Clara Schinn, who was discharged as a
waitress at the Illinois House yesterday at
noon, attempted TO take her life by swal-
lowing an ounce of carbolic acid. The girl
is in a critical condition, and it is thought
she will die
She is twenty-five years old and has been
working at the hotel for six weeks She
told the manager after her discharge that
she could not leave until late in the after
noon. The manager said she might re-
main until Friday if she had no place to
go. The girl was respondent. ii was seen,
and walked from the room. She went to a
drug store, where she purchased the poi
son. Returning to the hotel, she went to
James McCaffery's room on the second
floor and took the contents of an ounce
phial. A passing chambermaid in looking
into the room, saw the Schnn girl, and
she walked inside to ascertain the trouble.
The face of the girl presented a CHASTITY
appearance. The lips bore the marks of
the burns. and the face had taken on a
purple shade. Her eyes were closed and
the servant could not arouse her. DIR.

fed, and he hurried TO the place He gave
the girl emetics, but these were of little
value. He called the ambulance and the
girl was taken to the City Hospital.
Inquiry at the hotel failed 10 reveal any,
thing concerning the girls history or her
relatives. One woman volunteered the in
formation that the girl possessed a four
year-old child which was being reared by
a woman in this city.

THE climate of Porto Rico is naturally
healthful The temperature ranges from S.
to 80 degrees at San Juan throughout the
year. IT averages u degrees. The island is
swept by the constant trade winds of that
latitude so that the people breathe pure
sea air. There are very few swampS or wet
lands to produce malaria, and the only
cause for sickness or epidemic In the past
was the unsanitary condition OF the cities
and towns Particular attention has been
given to the matters of sanitation and
hygiene. An insular board of health, with
ample powers, has enforced rigid regula-
uons until the cities and towns are clean
and in good condition. The people have
been taught to take pride In their homes
and new methods of living. AS a result
there has not been a single case of yellow
fever in Porto Rico during the past four
years, and all kinds of so-called climatic
diseases have been reduced to a minimum
The mortality record during the past year
shows a less number of deaths than in any
known previous year.
There are probably $500 Americans in
Porto Rico. In and about San Juan. the
capital city. there are about six hundred,
making quite a colony for social purposes.
Life there is free and easy. The lines are
not tightly drawn-good behavior being
about the only requirement Of entrance TO
social circles. The climate is adapted to
outdoor entertainment and enjoyment the
year through. We have prosperous club
entitled the Porto Rico Yacht Club, Of
which. 1t happens, the FIVE leading officials
are from Indiana. We also have an excel
lent baseball association which provides two
games each Saturday afternoon for the
edification of the people. The interest that
the Porto Rican youth has developed in
baseball is remarkable and encouraging. II
must not be understood that the social life
we enjoy Is wholly among ourselves, as
Americans. The natives Of the better class
join with enthusiasm in entertainments of
every character. Many of them speak
English fuently and those who cannot have
learned TO understand well by. signs and
motions. They do not seem to be at all en-
barrassed because they do not speak our
language"
