WEARY WOMAN
TAKES PO[SON.
Mae La PerIe Puts End to Her
Life by Drinking a Large

EXPIRES AT HOSPITAL
Screams for Help Are An

Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1016 Broadway. Nov. 81.
Despondent and weary of life, Mae
La Perle, 80 years old. took poison
this afternoon. An hour later she
died at the Receiving Hospital, where
she was taken by Policeman McSOr-
ley. who had been called to the wOm-
ans room in H. Davis lodging house
419 Sixth street.
The hospital surgeons said the
woman had taken carbolic acid, but
a seach of her room failed to uncover
the vial in which, il is supposed, the
poison was contained. Several hours
before she was found Mrs. La Perle
had tried at drug stores to buy car
bolic acid. A woman companion had
prevented the sale of the drug TO her,
by asserting that the applicant in
tended TO commit suicide But Mrs.
La Perle eluded her friend and got
the poison.
1t was at o'clock that occupants
of the lodging house heard screams
for help from Mrs. La Perle's room.
The woman was writhing in pain
when the startled people reached her.
The police were called and quickly
sent the sufferer to the hospital. She
was beyond relief. The hospital sur
geons said she had taken a large
quantity of the poison.
Deputy Coroner Henry Quellen took
the body to the Morgue. Mrs. La
Perle had been living at the Davis
house for several months. She was
supposed to have been married to
William La Perle, a teamster.
Among Mrs La Perle's effects the
following note was found:
''Alice-Please give George back
what money was left from last night.
and good-by. 1 am goind to end my
troubles. NAE"
Letters addressed to Johnny Strobe,
Isleton, Sacramento County, with en-
velopes stamped were taken in charge
by Deputy Coroner Quellen. Strobe
is supposed TO be Mrs. La Perle's faith
er. One of the messages, dated No
vember 26, invited Dear brother and
father" not to write again, as Mrs. La
Perle was going away. A note dated
to-day, however, announced that she
would go home Thursday or Friday.

Despite the action Of the university
authorities in dismissing w. T. Hale,
editor of the Daily Californian, from
college for one year, thus testifying to
the disfavor in which he is held by
the university faculty, friends of the
young student editor have determined
to give him a substantial testimony of
their admiration and esteem, before he
leaves this week for his home in San
Diego.
Hale was dismissed for criticizing in
sarcastic editorials the faculty and par
ticularly the military section of the in
structors. He ridiculed the order or
Captain Nance, that the potent. grave
and reverend seniors march in mill
tary fashion into the classroom. Hale
in his paper invited all and sundry,
on the day of the order was issued, TO
come up to the campus and see the
fun," or words to that effect. A SEN
sational riot followed, with reports of
which the press of the State were filled,
so that ii was found necessary, even
tually, for the university authorities
to take cognizance of the offenders.
Forty eight of them are now on proba-
ton, threatened with expulsion if they
90 not OBEY orders.
Hale was suspended for "a year, as
being indirectly responsible for the
riot. He persisted to the last in de-
claring his right TO criticize the facul-
ty, when justice demanded criticism,
but the faculty decided that he was
wrong, and President Wheeler gently,
but firmly, applied the official ak, and
the boy editors fate was at once the
sensation Of campus and college hall.

at testimonial banquet given by his
classmates and such alumni as are in
terested in the affair. He will sit at
the lead of the festal board and listen
to the eloquent words of youthful col
legians who wish TO show that despite
Hale's humiliation they esteem him
highly, and believe him to be a youth
of character and high ideals, in disgrace
temporarily, but deserving of tokens OF
regard.
Hale will receive a bound copy of
The Daily Californian which he edit
ed and in the volume will be blank
pages of paper, on which Will be placed
the signatures of those who attend the
dinner given to him. Richard OCon-
nor. 'O4 editor of The Daily Californian

ent conditions of the market. Con-
cerning the firms business, Mr.. Hawks
said:
While the election and campaign may have
had a quieting effect the realty business
that is fast passing away. When people are
seeking homes they are not as a general thing
deferred from doing so by political matters.
We have had numerous demands for four, five
and six room cottages to rent and have been
unable TO give prospective tenants what they
want There is an unprecedented call for
homes that rent for from $15 to $50 month.

that it will pick up with the close of
