Almost every native Of Iceland. even
the peasants and fishermen, can speak
at least one foreign language besides
his local Danish dialect Some years
ago It became a fad to study Ian

only one tongue is looked down upon
as extremely ignorant. English leads,
then come German and French. Pa
pers in these three languages are
read extensively in Iceland. and may
be found in all the village reading

SPEEDS BULLET
THROUGH BRAIN
J. II. Williams Ends Life in
Presence of Landlady and
Sons After Taking Drink

J. H Wftham. a former real estate
broker. chose a sensational way of end
ing his earthly cares last night. He
walked leisurely into the drawing-room
of the residence of Mrs. Laura MolIet,
1922 Mission street, where he roomed.
and in the presence of the woman and
her two sons sent a bullet through his
brain, after first taking a drink of
whisky.
A combination of financial difficulties
and unrequited love for Mrs. MolIet
was the direct cause of the mans rash
act For some time he had conducted
a real estate brokerage business at S19
Market street, but short while ago
the business failed and since then
Wftham has known severe financial
strains.
on top of his money troubles the
suicide conceived a violent love for
Mrs Mollet. She was not partial to his
affections and treated him distantly
whenever he proposed the making of
love in her presence. This seemed to
dwell heavily on Williams mind and,
before putting an end TO his existence.
he left a note to Mrs. Mollet stating
that as he was moneyless and despon-
dent he had decided to die and there
fore she would be free TO marry whom
she should choose.
Witham was also known as J. H
Hall and was about 40 years cid. He
was a shrewd business man. but SEEM
ed to have been down on his luck late
". He tried to borrow money from his
Iandlady earlier in the day, but the
woman refused to contribute. The body
was removed to the Morgue.

GRAND JURORS
ON NEW TACK
VIII Investigate Changes
of Election Boards the
Night Before Primaries
REGISTRAR SUBPENAED
Probing of Frauds at Polls
to Be Left in Hands Of
the Merchants Association

The Grand Jury viii investigate some
reports that have been received by it
that on the night before the recent pri-
maries a number of changes. were made
in the personnel of a number of cleo
ton boards through realIotment by the
Registrars office. A subpoena has been
issued for Registrar Adams to appear
with the records of appointment and
allotment at the next session, which
will be held on Thursday.
This is a new phase of the investi-
cation of the election frauds and one
that the Grand Jury will take particu-
larly into its own hands. The prose-
cution of stuffing at the polls will in
all probability be left altogether to the
Merchants Association, for the Grand
Jury about arrived at the conclusion
Yesterday that it would be inadvisabIe
for it to take the matter UP.
A subpoena was also issued for Reg
istrar Adams to bring the rosters in
the several districts involved. The ros-
ter already in the possession of the
Grand Jury is that of the Seventy
third Precinct, where Charles Wyman
is said in the charge now pending in
the Police Court, 10 have voted ille-
gally. But it is desired TO have other
rosters placed in safety deposit boxes,
where they may rest secure anu De
available if needed in contemplated
prosecutions
These records are to be held for the
use of the Merchants Association.
Foreman Lilienfeld ignored a subpoena
from the Democratic contest committee
to bring the roster of the Seventy third
Precinct before it yesterday. He took
the position that the committee was
without authority to- compel him to
attend. and his objection to carting the
records about the city was that he
could take no risk in entrusting them
tS the keeping, even temporarily, of
political or other committees that might
wish TO investigate. The foreman in
tended no reflection on the committee.
but he deemed it sufficient that the
Merchants Association should conduct
the Investigation of the alleged mis-
conduct at the polls The rosters and
other records will at all times be avail
able for the association and it is ad-
Visable that il shall have full control
and access of all the avenues of evil
dence.
Former Registrar Walsh was before
the Grand Jury yesterday as the re-
suit of a voluntary communication
from him that he could enlighten its
members as to suspicious changes of
boards of election officers. But when
put under oath he had no evidence
whatever to give
