quested the commission to adopt meas
ures to better conditions at Buena

How an Oakland Insur-
ance Man Passed Away
SUICIDE IS SUSPECTED
Drinking, Gambling and
Shortage in His Accounts
Lead to. -Untimely Grave

The body OF H. AlIaire, city agent
Of the Oakland office Of. the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, was found in
Golden Gate Park last evening by W.
S. Horton.
A confusion over the left eye showed
that Allaire had either been. murdered
or had committed suicide. He was
found lying on his right side about 900
yards from what is known as Obser-
vatory road. In his pocket was found
a pill box containing powder. The
powder was taken to a drug store
and analysed. The chemist pronounced
1t morphine.
The man was we'll dressed and wore
patent leather shoes. What made the
affair look like murder was the blood
on one side Of Allatre's face and a
small hole over his right ear, that
looked as II 1t might have. been made
by small caliber gun.
An official Of the Equitable Life As
surance Company, on hearing Of the
discovery Of AIlaire's body last night,
said: Il fear that his death Is due to
suicide, as he has done. a. great deal
Of gambling of late and has gone a
pretty hot pace He is also consider
ably behind in his accounts. He has
been very respondent for the last few
months and 1 am not very much sur
prised at his DEATH"
Allaire had been missing from the
office for several days and a search
was about to be made for him. From
the appearance oshis body tits thought
that he had beeh dead two or three
days.

Oakland office OF the Equitable Life.
Assurance Society, could not be 10
Gated last evening and the exact
amount of shortage in Allaire's ae-
counts has not as yet been ascertained.
