MORBID OVER ILL HEALTH.
Hillard Allen Rents Room in Lick
House and~Turns on Gas.


Because he believed that he was
crippled for life Hillard Allen COM
mitted suicide by inhaling gas at the
Lick House yesterday. Allen hired a
room at the hotel early yesterday
morning. In the afternoon Matt Geo.
higan, an employe of the place at
tempted to rouse Allen. On receiving
no response he unlocked the door.
Allen was discovered lying upon a
bed lifeless. He had carefully plugged
UP the crevices in the door and win
dows with newspaper and turned on
the gas.
When he registered at the hotel AL
len seemed slightly under the influence
of liquor. He gave the name Of Lang
ford. The body was identified at the
Morgue by Ritchie L. Dunn, a brother
in-law of the dead man.
About two years ago Allen was
kicked by vicious horse. Since that
time his body has been enveloped in
q plaster of paris cast. This injury
made Allen, who was only % years
old, respondent. He feared that he
would never recover from it.
The young mans sister, Mrs. r. l..
Dunn, was broken hearted when she
heard the news. She rang UP the Cor
oner's office when she heard that "a
man named Hillard had committed
suicide" She asked if the dead man
wore plaster cast.
Allen had not been working since
he received the injury. He has been
living in Mill Valley part of the time
and sometimes with his mother in
Oakland.

MORE MONEY REQUIRED
FOR NURSERY BUILDING
Institution Owns Valuable Block and
Want of Funds Alone Stops
Good Work


The San Francisco Nursery for
Homeless Children needs assistance
for the erection of its new building.
The institution owns a block of land
situated on the north side of Lake
street, between Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth avenues and after many years
of saving the directors are in posi-
ton to begin on the construction of
the new nursery, but find that they
cannot bring il to a state of compile
ton without further assistance.
Many prominent men and women of
San Francisco have contributed lib
orally, yet the officers of the institu-
ton have found it necessary to make
an urgent appeal to the public for ad-
ditional aid that the work which has
been planned may not be impeded.
The amount subscribed so far reaches
SIS, 200, and $4,000 more is required.
The architects of the new building
are Meyer & O'Brien, who have gem
erously given their services gratis.
Among the gifts toward the construc-
ton are over 100000 bricks and the
Portland Cement Company has offered
all the cement required at cost price
Anything at all which can be used. in
the construction of the building will
he gratefully received. All donations
are to be sent direct to the San Fran
cisco Nursery for Homeless Children.

HUTTON GUILTY
OF CONTEMPT
Judge Cook Holds That the
Police Commissioner ViO-
lated the Pom Injunction
IMPOSES FINE OF .SlOO
Writ of CertiOrari to Be
Applied For to Take Case
Before the Supreme Court

Police Commissioner H. w. Hutton,
special chief of police for 1929 Du-
pont street." was adjudged guilty of
contempt of court by Judge Cook yes
terday afternoon for violating the in
junction restraining the police from
interfering with the restaurant bust
ness of Jean Pom, 1929 Dupont street,
and was fined 500. The case will be
taken before the Supreme Court on
a writ Of certiOrari.
When the case was called yesterday
morning Attorney 7. d. Riordan asked
for continuance, but Attorney George
D. Collins objected. The Judge CO.
incided with Collins, but continued the
hearing till o'clock.
At o'clock Attorney Riordan ap-
and Hutton'S defense, was proceeded
with. Chief Whitman, Policeman Keo-
hane and Captain Gleason were called
to the stand to testify as to the char
acter of 1929 Dupont street, but OBJ
jections by Attorney Collins were sus-
tanned.
Hutton denied that he ever had any
intention of violating the injunction.
He denied that he ever told Captain
Pon's restaurant. No arrests were to
be made till the women guilty of vio-
lating the law were at least a. block
away. He did not authorize the ar
rest of the woman Mary Duran on
June z. last.
After arguments Of counsel the
Judge said he was satisfied that Hut
ton had been guilty of contempt Of
court. 1t was evident that because
the police had not been making any
arrests he had taken upon ---lmself to
order that arrests should be made. To
prevent a clash with other courts he
would not impose a penalty Of i'm
prisonment but would impose a fine or
S100 so that the matter could be taken
before the Supreme Court.
Attorney George D. Collins filed with
the County Clerk the accusation Of
Mary Duran against Police Commits
sioner Hutton, then took the case to
presiding Ldge Lawlor for assignment.
The former accusation was withdrawn
because Judge Cook, before whom it
was to have been heard, had gone on
a vacation.
Mary Duran charges the Commits
sioner with having unlawfully re-
strained her of her liberty. She charges
that Hutton exceeded the authority Of
his office and asks the court to re-
move Hutton from his commissioner
shin.

ALLEGED THIEF ENDS LIFE.
Rather Than Face Trial Charles
Bredehoft Hangs Himself.

Bredehoft Hangs Himself.
Fearing disgrace that must follow
the exposure of petty stealing that has
been going on for several years,
Charles Bredehoft of 1921 Lily ave-
nue. committed suicide yesterday by
hanging himself in a hayloft at the
rear of IL Page street. His body was
found by William Young Of IL Page
street yesterday afternoon.
r Bredehoft was employed by O'Cal-
laghan & Nelson, dairy commission
merchants OF ia and 116 Davis
street, in the capacity of porter. Sew
eral days ago it was found that butter,
eggs and other articles were being sto-
len, Inquiry fastened the thefts on
Bredehoft. A warrant for his arrest
was sworn to yesterday by mem
Der of the firm, charging him with
petty larceny,
looking for him, Bredehoft drove his
team to the stable at the rear of II
Page street, put the horse in stall
and went up to the hayloft. There he
threw a rope over a rafter, mounted
a bale of hay, adjusted a moose about
his neck and jumped from the bale.
Shortly after 1 O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon William Young, having occa-
SION 10 RO lnlO lAlC 4OAb, N4oNONOAOo
Bredehofts limp body. With the as
sistance of Ed Matheson, a groom of
II Erie street, the body was cut down
and the Coroner notified.
Bredehoft was a German, 81 years
old, and leaves a widow, to whom he
had been married for eight years. She
was visiting friends when the body
was discovered and did not learn of
her husbands death until late in the
afternoon. She said she knew moth
ing about any alleged stealing and his
death was a great shock.
\ While the tragedy of the Bredehoft
crime was reaching a conclusion De-
tectives Ryan and Taylor yesterday
arrested Arthur Hewson, a bartender
employed in a saloon at the corner
of California and Davis. streets, on two
warrants charging him with receiving
stolen property. The warrants were
sworn to before Police Judge Conlan,
and it is alleged that Hewson pur-
chased goods stolen from Wheaton,
Pond & Harold, wholesalers of dairy
products at 10 Davis street, by Ed
ward Ramps, a porter. John John
ston, a go1between, was arrested on
Sunday night.
Ramps admitted, the police say,
that the pilfering had been going on
for three years. He has been six
teen years in the firms service and
was a trusted employe. No action has
been taken against him yet.
