GAS SUFFOCATES
TWO WOMEN
Mrs. Tillie Dieffenbacher
and Her Young Daughter
Asphyxiated in Their Bed

Mrs. Tillie Dieffenbacher and her
pretty seventeen-year-old daughter,
Alma, were found dead from gas as
phyxiation yesterday in their bedroom
at 26141s Larkin street. The fact that
two windows were open and that the
gas jet was only half turned on would
indicate that death was the result Of an
accident.
The two women had been busily en-
gagged on Friday night packing up their
few household effects, as they intended
to move yesterday. Worn out by the
work, they retired and slept only too
soundly. Whether one of them turned
out the gas and accidentally turned 1T
on again or whether they left the jet
burning and it was blown out by a
gust of wind will not be known.
One theory is that Alma, who was in
the habit of studying late at night,
turned out the gas and that the sleeve
of her night dress caught in the stop
cock as she sank wearily to her pillow.
The San Francisco call., 1904-10-30

The girl has been trying to prepare
herself to be teacher.
Marks that slightly resembled burns
made by carbolic acid were found on
the lips of both women at the Morgue.
This fact and whispers that Mrs. DEF
fenbacher was mentally unbalanced
led DR.. Bacigalupi to perform an autop-
sy. He found no traces of poisoning.
but sent the stomachs of both women
to the City Chemist as a precautionary
measure. The composed positions in
which the bodies were found in the bed
make all theories of suicide seem i'm
probable.
1t is more probable that while the
weary women slept the poisonous gas
slowly suffocated them. Though the
front windows of the room were open
there was no draft The doors OF the
room were closed and the wind formed
a barrier of air that kept the gas in
side.
At about II o'clock yesterday morn
ing a man in search of a fiat knocked
at the Dieffenbacher door. He re-
ceived no response. and as he waited
he detected the odor of gas. He noti-
fed Mrs. Eva Peach, who lives in the
fiat above. Mrs. Peach telephoned to
Mrs. George Miller, a sister Of Mrs.
Dieffenbacher
When Mrs Miller arrived a key was
found that fitted the door. Frantically
the sister rushed into the bedroom,
where Mrs. Dieffenbacher and her
daughter lay side by side in the sleep
of death. The room was so full Of gas
that Mrs. Miller was almost overcome
before she could fling open the doors
and windows.
Mrs. Tillie Dieffenbacher has been
widow for two years. She and Alma
have had a hard time making both
ends meet. The girls salary as a type
writer for the Nathan Dohrmann Com
pany was almost their only source of
income.
Among their few belongings scat
tered about in the confusion of packing
up were evidences of better DAYS. In
their poverty the mother and daughter
still clung to a few little trinkets that
might have been converted into money.
Among their effects was sketch book
belonging to Alma. The work showed
that the girl had considerable talent.
Mrs. Miller says she knows of no rea-
son why her sister and niece should trv
to end their lives. They were always
cheerful and hopeful. Mrs. Miller and
her husband were always ready to help
them Besides Alma, there are two
otner children, William, IL years old,
ana Gustave, years. The boys are
now In the Protestant Orphan Asylum.
Mrs. Dieffenbacher was about AZ
years of age. She was at one time an
inmate of private asylum for the in
sane, but was discharged as cured.

FINDS CHARTER
WAS VIOLATED
City Attorney Says Works
Board Must Obtain the
Consent of Supervisors

City Attorney Long yesterday advised
the Board of Public Works that special
authority for each improvement must
be secured from the Board of Super
visors, irrespective of budget provisions.
The opinion was asked in connection
with questions by the board:
1-As to the sufficiency of your au-
thority in proceeding with the repaving
and widening of Fourth street, the
funds for the cost Of which were appro-
priated in the last budget.
2-As to the sufficiency of your au-
thority in advertising for and letting
contracts for the repaving of H street,
specifically mentioned and for which
funds were appropriated in the last
budget.
The opinion says:
THE mere fact that the Board of Su-
pervisors itemized each Improvement
and segregated the various amounts,
instead Of allowing lump sum, does
not alter the fact that the ordinance
was one appropriating moneys for the
expenses Of government, and nothing
more.
The Board of Supervisors is the
source of authority, so far as your
board is concerned, in all matters per-
tanning to public improvements, as the
provisions of the charter indicate.
THE charter contemplates that the
Board of Supervisors shall exercise su-
pervisory control over all expenditures
when they are not specifically deprived
Of such control and the mere approval
of budget which makes available a
sum for particular purpose does not
deprive the board of the right to decide
when such shall be used. Conditions
may change or cost of proposed i'm
provement be increased to such an ex-
tent that it would be unwise to pro-
ceed, so that the discretion given the
board as to the advisability of the ex-
penditure may prompt the abandon
ment of a proposed improvement"
The effect of the opinion will be to
render nugatory the contract to F. M
Yorke & Co. to repave H street, as the
Board of Supervisors decreed that it
would not pay any demands on the
contract because the Board of Public
Works had never asked for authority
to do the work. The contract to pave
Fourth street has not yet been award
ed. although bids have been invited for
the same.

of George Benes. He was convicted
