In court to-day Mr. Dickinson referred
the court and the other attorneys to the

The passage then narrates that the
long session Of this court aroused the
CRITICISMS Of Jethros the father-in-law of
Moses, who said: '"rhe hing that thou
doest Is not good, Thou wilt surely

DECIDE ARREST
WAS JUSTIFIED
Police Commissioners Pass on
Case That Threatens, COmpli-
cations With Chinese Nation
REPORT READY FOR MAYOR
Say Tom Kim Yung, Consulate
Attache Who Killed Himself,
Was Not Unjustly Treated

The Police Commissioners Of this city
and county have rendered a decision
generating Policemen John Kramer
and Joseph Brodt from all responsible
ity in connection with the death OF
Tom Kim Yung, an attache of the Chi
nese consulate, who committed suicide
about four months ago. A copy OF tnelr
decision will be forwarded to Mayor
Schmitz to-day and it will eventually
be presented to the Chinese Govern
ment by the authorities in Wasnlng-
ton in response to its request Tor an
investigation.
The case is one of Importance, mas
much as it bids fair to create interna-
tional complications. Though a deter
mination has been arrived at by the
Police Board, il may by no means De
conclusive, and much conjecture is IN
dulged in regarding its disposition oy
the Chinese Government when II Is re-
ceived bv them.
Tom Kim Yung was arrested by Po-
licemen Kramer and Brodt for a Sc
rious offense He offered resistance,
but was taken to prison, charged ana
brought into the Police Court. BefCre
the case was concluded his lifeless BODY
was found in the consulate one morn
ing, he having committed suicide py
the use of opium and gas. note left
by him stated that he could not bear
disgrace and proclaimed his innocence
SoCn afterward the Chinese Minister
at Washington requested the Secre-
tary of State to institute an inquiry
and to place the blame where 1t be-
Ionged. The Secretary of State in turn
forwarded the request to Governor Par
dee and the Governor turned 1t over
to Mayor SehmitZ. The Mayor, after
due deliberation, ordered an investiga-
tiC,n by the Police Commissioners and
the board heard the case on three d1t-
ferent afternoons. At each session por-
tions of the testimony were taken and
the incidents leading up to the arrest
thoroughly sifted. The commission re-
served it's decision until last night,
when a written decision generating
the policemen was ordered sent to the
Mayor.
During the meeting of the board last
night James S. Hester, formerly of
Texas. applied for a liquor license at
the corner of Pine and Laguna streets,
and his request was granted. As he
passed out it was discovered that he
carried a large revolver in. his pocket
and instead of going back to his busi-
ness he. was taken to the City Prison

Effie May Driscoll, wife of DR.. E. p
Driscoll of 1641 Polk street. took a fatal
draught Of carbolic acid at about 8
o'clock yesterday morning. The only
witnesses in the case are DR.. DriscolI
and Miss Hughes, whose parents con-
have apartments.
SWALLOWS CARBOLIC ACID.
According to the statement of DR..
Driscoll, his wife had been ailing for
some years and had frequently threat
ened to commit suicide. A few months
ago she procured a bottle of carbolic
acid from his office and secreted it in
their apartments. 1t was discovered by
her son, who brought it to DR.. DriscoIl
From time TO time during fits of de-
spondency she had reiterated her de-
sire to be out of the world. The recent
deaths Of several of her friends. who
were suffering from troubles similar to
her own, had added greatly to her de-
Spondency.
Early yesterday morning Mrs. Dris-
coll entered the doctors Office at 1888
Polk street and secured a bottle con-
tanning about two ounces of carbolic
acid. Returning to her apartments she
drank a portion of it and fell scream
ing to the floor. Miss Hughes respond
ed and at once summoned DR.. Driscoll.
He worked for an hour and half, but
was unable to save the life of his wife
He attributes her speedy demise after
swallowing comparatively small
quantity of the poison to the fact that
it was taken on an empty stomach.
Mrs. Driscoll leaves a son IA years of
age, the result of her former marriage
to a man named Hitchcock She had
been married to DIR. Driscoll about six
years, and he says their family rela-
tions were always amicable. She was
80 years of age and a native of Missouri,
but came to this State with her parents
when q child and was reared in the
vicinity of Hanford.
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-17

Two women, feeling that life was no
longer worth the living, attempted sui
eide early yesterday morning. Both
attempts were evidently cases of eX-
treme dependency, resulting from
physical ailments. AS a result one
woman is dead and the other lies in
a precarious condition at the City Re
ceiving Hospital. One used a cheap re-
volver of small caliber and the other,
the wife Of physician, took carbolic
acid with fatal results. Both were still
youthful enough, in the ordinary course
of nature to have had many years of
happy life before them, but they chose
a direct plunge into eternity to an un-
known future in this world and a nat
ural ending.
Julia Henrietta Lowe, a divorced
woman employed as a domestic at 2440
Jackson street. attempted to end her
life at an early hour yesterday morn
ing and incidentally had the police
securing the neighborhood for hours il
search of an imaginary burglar. At the
Central Emergency Hospital, where she
now lies lowering between life and
death, the woman appended her maine
to a romantic story Of a midnight
struggle with a burglar, which she aft
erward confessed was pure fiction.
About 2:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon the occupants of the house were
aroused by screams for help. Mrs.
Lowe was found lying on the floor Of
the dining room, bleeding from wounds
in each breast. When questioned as
TO how she had received her inquiries,
she told a sensational story of a stru:g-
gle with a burglar, who, after wound
ing her, had fed from the house.
MAKES CONFESSION.
The woman was removed to the
Emergency Hospital and the police at
once notified, Detectives Coleman and
Braig being detailed on the case. At
the hospital it was found that the
wounds had been inflicted with a pistol
Of small caliber at close range, as the
womans clothing was powder burned.
To the detectives she stated that she
was aroused during the night and
found a strange man in the dining
room. She did not scream, but al once
