him no relief, and although slowly

eat, but each time was obliged to

Three or four times his pain from
hunger became so intense that he told
his wife that unless he could get re-
lief he would end it all by death. She
pleaded with him not to take his life
and he promised to try to endure his
torture.
Yesterday afternoon Wolff and his
business partner, John Rose, spent
about two hours down town. Several
times Wolff complained Of pain. Rose
took lunch at a Robert street res
taurant, but his companion was unable
to eat.
They returned to the Park about 8
o'clock. Mrs. Wolff prepared some
toast and tea for her husband. He
sat at the table took a bite Of the
toast and then became deadly sick.

Shortly after he went to his room,
Mrs. Wolff heard the report of re-

him lying on the sofa dead. Blood
flowed in a torrent from his mouth
and nostrils.
Medical aid was at once called, but

pitaI List. 'Vs.

President Bridgman, Dean Crafts
and DR.. A. Shimoneck, chief of staff
of the Hamline university medical de-
partment, held a conference with the
county board Of control yesterday aft
ernoon. Recently Drs. H. j. O'Brien,
A. Schwyzer and Dr. Bacon resigned
from the faculty of the university.
President Bridgman sent to the
board Of control a letter to the effect
that the designations would make q
change in the membership of the staff
representing the university at the city
and county hospital.
The board took the position that any
changes in the faculty should not have
the effect of increasing the staff at the
county and city hospital. In other
words, the board Of control took the
view that the designations of the ply
sicians from the faculty of the uni
versity carried with them designations
from the staff at the city and county
hospital. The same view was taken by
the university officials
The names of those making up the

CIVIC LEAGUE WILL
FURNISH THE MATERIAL
Basketry and Rugs to Be Bought in
Wholesale Quantities.

Supt. A. J. Smith, of the city schools,
Is arranging a plan whereby the chill
dren of the school who are doing bas-
kerry and other weaving will save a
considerable sum of money. The chill
dren have in the past purchased the
supplies with which they constructed
their baskets, rugs and other articles
in the construction of which they were
drilled.
This year the school board has ap-
propriated money for the purchase of
supplies, but a large number of chill
dren, under the promise Of owning the
baskets after they are made, will con-
tinue to purchase the supplies used
Heretofore they have purchased the
supplies in penny punches" put UP
by the retail merchants. The cost OF
the material when purchased in that
manner is very high, costing four or
five times as much as the same amount
would at wholesale.
Mr.. Smith is negotiating with the
Civic league with a view to having
it purchase the supplies by wholesale
thus saving the children pretty
penny.
