ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Cornelius Holland, Suffering
From Injury, Cuts His Throat

His mind slightly affected as a re-
suit of an injury sustained over two
weeks ago when he was struck by 81
baseball which flew over the fence
of the downtown park, Cornelius Hol.
land. a switchman formerly employed
by the Northern Pacific, attempted to
end his life yesterday morning at his
home, 166 Edmund street, by slashins
his throat and left wrist with a pocket
knife.
Since the accident, which occurred
Aug. 81, as Holland was walking on
Twelfth street, he had been unable to
work and he suffered from pains in the
head. The BAH struck him in the tenn
pie and knocked him unconscious. He
was taken to the police station in the
ambulance, where he was revived by
Dr. Moore.
Holland apparently recovered from
the shock, but during the past few
days he suffered from pains in tho
head. He did not complain much and
his relatives did not think that his
condition was serious.
Yesterday at noon, however, he was
missed from about the house and was
later found lying in the cellar, COW
cred with blood which flowed from a
cash on the left side of the throat and
another on the left wrist, the tendon OF
which had been severed. Holland was
still conscious, and groaned that he
wished to die When being carried ur
stairs he tainted, but was revived be-
fore reaching the hospital.
1t is said at the hospital yesterday
that though he is extremely weak from
loss of blood, he will recover. He lost
a great amount of blood, for he lay in
the cellar for nearly an hour, between
IL: 80, when he was last seen, and 70: 80
when he was found.
Holland is thirty-seven years old and
unmarried. He resides with his father
Jeremiah Holland.

WILL TALK II Owe &
Street Railways Objection to
Fire Ordinance Considered


Although he said that the street rail.
way company had not treated the board
of fire commissioners right in that i,
had withheld from the board its APP
parent true reason for opposing the
ordinance now before the city council
regulating the places where cars are
to be stopped. Commissioner Schweize,
last evening secured from the fire board
an agreement that active work for the
measure will be postponed Until the
officials of the- company can be inter
viewed.
'sIt seems to me that the real reason
for the opposition of the company is
that the enactment of such an oril1.
nance would increase the liability OF
the company in personal injury cases. .
| said Mr.. Schweizer. There is not on
the part of any member of the board a
desire, to unnecessarily fembarrass the
company and create an i'll feeling that
will make more difficult the settlement
of claims. but it seems that it shoulo
nave come out in the open. 1t is ap.
parent that the company has other
reasons than those that. have been
| stated for not wishing this ordinance
to pass, but we are absolutely in the
dark
In the subsequent consideration Mr..
Schweizer stated that it was evident
that the real opposition of the COM
pany had not been stated, likely be-
cause the legal department of the com.
pany forbade. 1t seemed to him that
the company should have treated the
commissioners .Sas- men of business
sense who did not wish to do unneces-
sary injury. If the ordinance as it
stood should increase the liability OF
the company beyond reason he did not
believe that the. commissioners would
insist upon its passage. :
President Warner said he believed
the ordinance would add protection to
the street railway company, to the fire
department, and to the public. He did
not favor entering an agreement with
the company, believing that the ordi :
nance was needed to enforce the stops
| asked for The penalty. he argued,
would -forcibly call to the attention OF
the employees. of the company the fact
that Trey Were required to make stops
at certain points, whereas the mere
order of the~company might easily be
evaded-A
In the absence of President Warner
f-the- ordinance will be in charge of Vice
President Schweizer, who announced
that he would ask that it's considera-
ton be postponed until he can have d
heart to heart talk with some officer
| of the company" and If possible learn
| the real reason for the opposition.

papers under his arm, was standing at

when a man hurriedly approached,
slipped paper from under the
youngsters elbow, tossed coin at
him and then boarded passing car.
Instead of appearing pleased at hav-

boy uttered a yell and started up the
street in pursuit of the car, bawling,
Stop thief" at the top of his voice.
He caught the car at Ninth street, and
rushed inside. Gimme that" he de-
manded, grabbing the paper away
from the man who had taken it from
him.
The boy swung off and walked away
before the astonished passenger had
recovered his self-poss essio1. Then
matters were reversed, for, in his in
IGignation, the passenger alighted and
started after the boy. The latter made
no attempt to escape. You young ras-

the boy defantly. Il amt sel.in' pa

he turned the pages back, revealing
to the surprised citizen several nice

worked in an art store and was on his
way there with the prints when the
hasty individual mistook him for a

worth of art works.
