Willie Hayes, n ROunder, Took Nor
phine TO Escape Trouble.
Willie Hayes, a young white man, at
tempted to end his life with morphine
in a house run by Matte Monahan on
the east side early last night. He took
a large amount of the drug and was
unconscious when found by inmates Of
the house. 1t required several hours of
hard work to save his life.
Hayes had been threatened with ar
rest by a person from whom he is all
legged to have stolen SIS. This is sup
posed to have been the reason for his
wanting to end his life. To get the
money to buy the morphine he told the
woman who runs the house that he
had stolen coat from a man and sold
it to a negro for dime, and would be
arrested unless he could get ten cents.
Hayes spends a great deal of his time
at the woman's house, and she gave
him the money.
He left and in a few minutes re-
turned with the drug. With another
young fellow he was sitting on the
stoop, when he announced that he was
going to kill himself. He showed his
companion the box and il was imme-
diately knocked out of his hand
Hayes had already taken the morphine
out in his hand, though. and he swal-
lowed it before the other boy could in
terfere.
The young man then went into the
house and laid down after taking a
drink of whisky. In a few minutes he
was sleeping. Some of the inmates of
the house aroused him. by vigorous
shaking and managed to keep him
awake by beating him until the police
were notified and DR. b. Courshon was
hurried to the scene in the police pa
troll II required several hours work
to save the mans life. He was beaten
numerically at the order OF the doc

TROUBLE OVER MILK.
Question Of Sale Of a Quantity t

Frank c. Sanders, who conducts an es-
Establishment at TOO 7th street southwest.

ing that he has been obliged to sell to the
District pint Of milk for cents. at a loss.
or else go before the Police Court. He
submits that 1t is not right that he should
be compelled to sell to the District an
article which he handles in his business
at loss to himself.
Mr.. Sanders states In his letter that an
inspector of the health department called
at his place Of business and asked for a
half pint of milk. He did not keep milk
the pint bottle for the Inspector. How
ever. he sold the inspector the pint Of milk
for cents. He requested the Commits
sioners to take some action in the mat
ter.
DIR. VIM. C. Woodward. health officer, in
reporting on the complaint states that
under the law the inspectors are authorized
to demand a sample of any drug or article
of food in the dealers possession sufficient
for the purpose of analysis. The dealer is
entitled to receive the value of such sam
pies. In the case under consideration, DR..
Woodward says. the inspector asked Mr..
Sanders for a half pint of milk but after
some parleying the dealer gave him pint
and took the cents offered.
DR. Woodward mentions that there is
nothing in the law to require the de-
partment to purchase an original package
of any article to be examined. and main
tains that the department should not be
presumed to buy more than it needs for
the purposes of analysis.
Mr. Sanders will be advised in accordance
with this report.

BROUGHT THE PRICES DOWN.
Lieut.. Stone, Acting Governor of
Guam, Issued Warning to Merchants.

Lieut.. Stone, young naval ofhcer, ana
acting governor of Guam, has made an
attack on a local food trust and as re-
suit of mis- action has brought about
reduction in prices on the necessaries OF
life This fact is shown in orders re-
Gently issued in Guam. Lieut.. Stone, In
an official communication. under the cap
ton, Notice to those interested, says:
''The existing high prices on articles
coming under the class of 'necessaries of
life now charged by the merchants OF
this island, whereby the people are sorely
distressed. render it advisable for the
government to take such steps in estab-
fishing commercial selling prices OF GER
tain articles as may be found necessary
to relieve the distress of the people"
Continuing, he says: The government
Is in receipt OF information showing that
the existing exorbitant prices on food
stuffs-which are plainly not JUSTIFIED by
the necessity of first cost, freight duties,
&c.-are due largely to form or coliu-
sion or coalition on the part OF certain
merchants of Agana, whose combination
Is for the purpose of keeping prices up.
Such combination is evidently destructive
Of fair competition. to the benefits of
which the people are justly entitled. and
does, moreover, come under the prohibit
lions Of the code now in force in this
island"
The lieutenant expressed the hope that
the merchants would promptly adjust
their prices and Obviate the necessity of
governmental action. That they did is
shown by subsequent notice. issued by
Lieut.. Stone, in which he says: The act
ing governor takes occasion to give pub
lie recognition to the proper spirit shown
by all the merchants in interpreting the
meaning of the notice and furnishing to
the government schedules of prices and
suggestions of value In general the
prices submitted by the merchants are
deemed to be fair, and the government is
informed that there will be further re-
duction in the near future"
