DEATH WINS THE RACE
Wealthy Australian Brewer Dies
While on His Way to Say
Good-by to His Son.

Chicago May ii. T. Toohey, an Aus
tralian brewer, is dead here. Death came
after a desperate struggle, and he re-
manned alive almost week by the sheer
strength Of his will Mr.. roohey was en-
route from England to Australia. He
knew he would never reach his native
land. but his son had come to San Fran
cisco and he was determined to live to
see his boy. A year ago Mr.. Toohey real
tied that the. end was near. He was 81
and Ill Of consumption. He visited Eng
land and consulted famous specialists.
They told him there was no hope and
warned him that he soon would die. He
announced his intention Of returning TO
Australia. The physicians told him it was
foolhardy, that he never would survive the
voyage across the Atlantic.
4 Mr.. Toohey cabled his son to meet him
at San Francisco and get there as quickly
as possible as it would be the last time
they would meet. The father and son
started for the meeting place. All thru
the voyage the mans family thought he
was dying. Mr.. and Mrs. Toohey and
their three daughters reached Chicago
Saturday morning. The father wanted to
proceed, but physicians would not allow
it.
IT must get to San Francisco he said.
4 Yesterday he died. A few minutes be-
| fore a telegram arrived from San Fran
cisco It read: Il beat you here When
will you arrive?"
Last night the body started on the jour-
ney to Sydney, Australia Mr.. Toohey was
one of the wealthiest men in Australia.

A great deal of local interest has
been aroused by the announcement of
the return all summer engagement
of the Jessie Shirley stock company.
which opens at the Auditorium Mon
day evening in 1.-The Girl Left Be
hind Me-"
The Indians of "The Girl I Left
Behind Me-" are real; three promi-
nent chiefs from the reservation
have been engaged for this prOduc-
| ton. The characters they assume in
this play have been sketched with
vitality and vigor by the master hand
| of Belasco. The Indians In this play
| do what q genuine redskin would do
| under similar circumstances. 1t is
not surprising that 1.-The Girl I Left
Behind Me- has been considered the
great American play and columns
have been written describing its ap-
proach to nature, because 1t is a gen
orally known fact that the plot was
suggested by General Custer and the
all sweeping climax of the third act
is dramatization of a real occur
renee in the lives of the murdered
general and his wife in. the early '7Os.
