TAKES OVERDOSE Of
ARSENIC TO END LIFE
Miss Catherine Heilfinger A..
tempts Suicide.

Despondent over the loss Of Ter post
ton in the Government service several
days ago. Miss Catherine Heilfinger, liv-
ing at 1442 Florida Avenue northwest
drank quantity of arsenic last night,
so the police claim, with suicidal intent.
She was discovered before the drug had
completed its work The prompt ac-
ton of Policeman Kittle and the sur
geon at the Emergency Hospital saved
her life. She was reported out of dan
ger last night.
Miss Heilfnger is about fifty-ona
years of age, and had been employed in
one of the departments here for num-
Der of years. Owing to the expiration OF
her term she was dismissed several days
ago, and according to the story told
by other persons living in the hous:.
she was downhearted and brooded over
the loss OF her position.
1t was said last night that there was
another reason than that given for Miss
Heilfinger's attempt at suicide. She WIS
unmarried but it is said that she had
been taking care Of child for some
time, and it was the thought nf losing
the child. by It's parents claiming IT,,
that caused her to seek to end her life.

In speaking of the wound in McKee's
head. Coroner Nevitt said:
Everything about the condition of the
deceased indicates that he shot him
self. The hair about the temple was
not scorched, as 1t usually the case. but
was actually burned. The flash of the
gun must have been dead against .hs
scalp. The cheek and temple around
the wound were thickly market with
powder spots, showing beyond question
that the shot was fired at close range.
I would estimate after having witnessed
many of the tests Of expert witnesses IN
the Boaine trial that the range was
about four or FIVE inches
"The course Of the bullet was upward
and outward from the point of en-
trance, which showed that the pistol
was pointed slightly up when 1t was
fired. The body had been removed to

VALE OPENS SEASON
l BY MAULlNG TRINITY

NEW HAVEN, Sept. 27.-Yale opened
her football season this afternoon at the
Yale field by slashing old victory over
Trinity. Yale pushed Trinity's eleven
around entirely at her own will, and
finally called the game with a score of
40 to 0.
The Trinity team proved miserably
weak. and did not even furnish the
practice which the varsity men are In
the habit Of receiving from the Blues
own college line. The visitors proved
to be in bad physical condition. and in
the second half the play was delayed ex-
ceedingly because half of the Trinity
team was compelled to lie down to re-
cuperate.
The game was one that failed to show
up the Yale material for this season
The field was muddy and slippery.
Yale's big score may be attributed to
inexperience OF the Trinity team, and
the excellence of ELS play
II was the desire of the coaches to
give every man who had proved to be
anything at all during the past two
weeks trial. ana consequently Holt
was the only one of the Yale veterans
who played through the entire game.
Less than three minutes suficed for
Yale to make her first score. From that
time on twenty-five and thirty-yard
runs were regular feature.

CORNELL FINDS HARD
. PROBLEM IN COLGATE

ITHACA. N. Y, Sept 27.-Cornell de-
feated Colgate today by the score Of .
to 0. And It was lucky goal made by
Coffin after a free catch early in the
second half which gave the home team
the victory. Cornell had not been fac
ing her rivals more than thirty seconds
before It was seen that the contest
would be close one.
Cornell has only simple plays at her
command, and the attacks of the half
backs were resisted with determination.
1t was easily seen that the Ithacans
could not score by line plays, so kicking
was resorted to. but in this department
Brewster was but little superior TO
Runge, the Colgate fullback. On the
other hand. the visitors had gu te
strong attack, and the right side of the
Cornell line frequently gave way to the
we'll executed formations of the oppos-
ing side.
II was early evident Ithaca was UP
against team as heavy as itself.

COLUMBIA GOLF CLUBS
HANDICAP BOGEY GAMES
Alexander B-itton Won the Cup in Yes
terday's Contests, One Down, With a
Medal Score of ss.

| The second of the series of weekl,
contests open to members Of the Co
iumbia Golf Club was held yesterday
afternoon on the clubs course. Fol
lowing the plan of changing the char
acter of contests as often as possible
during the series, yesterdays tourney
was devoted to handicap bogey."
1t is style of contest seldom seen
on local courses, and the results were
watched with considerable interest by a
very large attendance of members and
their friends.
Mr.. Alexander Britton won the silver
cup l down. with medal play of Ss and
a handicap of 4. The victory was a
popular one, and his work yesterday
stamps Mr.. Britton as one of the most
promising players of the club. Mr.. E.
P. Brooke came second, 2 down, with a
score OF S6.
The eighteen holes were played o~e,
temporary green's, as the green commit
tee decided on account of the heav..
rains that to use any of the old green's
recently put in shape would perma-
nently injure them.
The going" was quite heavy, and ma ay
of the players found 1t interfered con-
siderably with their work. The balls
were generally covered with clay from
driving into soft places. and as result
good direction was nearly always i'm
possible, and putting" was often of
a "wobbly" nature. because of the caked
condition of the balls.
Because of these conditions the scores
made were very creditable.
Thirty-five members were entered in
the tourney. but only nine handed in
completed cards.
Following are the scores made:

TO BE GIVEN UP.
The Triscornia Coaling Station at
Havana

Just after the occupation of Havana by
the United States troops in 1898 the War
Department secured by lease a large ware
house belonging to private persons located
at Triscornia, across the bay from the city
of Havana. About 1900 tons of coal be.
longing to this government are still in the
building. The War Department also built
a railroad from the wharf at Triscornia
connecting with the existing interior rail-
read system few miles from the bay The
CUBAN government naturally does not care
TO see manifestation of foreign presence
near Havana. and 1t has signified a dispo-
sition to discuss with the United States au-
thorities the subject Of the removal of the
coal and the abandonment of the place az
a coal station. incidentally the subject of
the transfer of the railroad Is involved.
II Is practically settled that the United
states Will have to abandon it's coaling
station at Triscornia in Havana harbor.
Mr.. Squiers has made it plain that the
Cubans do not like this sign Of foreign au-
thorlty, and the officials here are inclined
10 believe that their objection is we'll
founded. Besides the Navy Department
mas really no use for a coaling station
there IN the present state Of Cuban af-
FAIRS, SO Secretary Moody. to whom the
matter has been referred by the State
Department will probably have the coal
"hlch now lies In the warehouse put aboard
a collier and carried away 1t had been
hoped that by this time the negotiations
which are to be conducted under the Platt
amendment for the acquisition of coaling
stations in Cuba would have progressed
TO point where the coal at Triscornia
could be taken to some other point on the
island. But owing to the decision of the
administration to delay all other negotia-
lions until the reciprocity treaty can be
cohsummated, this matter has dropped into
the background unfortunately, for 1t is
realized that delay adds to the difficulty
IN securing good locations.
