LOS ANGELES OIL MAN
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
George Hocknell Fires Two Bullets
at His Head With Serious
RocuIfc

LOS ANGELES, March 15.-George
Hocknell, president of the Hercules
Oil Refining Company and part owner
in several other large business enter
prises in Los Angeles and Southern
California, is lying at the home of
his ranch foreman at Ontario suffer-
ing from a dangerous bullet wound in
the throat fred by his own hand with
suicidal intent. While lying on the
ground at his ranch he pulled a pistol
from his pocket and fired two bullets
at his head, the first passing through
his hat, failing to injure him; the Sec
ond taking effect in his throat and pro-
ducing a serious wound. 1t is not ex-
pected, however, that the shot will
prove fatal. Hocknell has been a suf-
ferer from sciatic rheumatism for ten
years and it is thought his continued
ill-health preyed upon his mind and
led to the attempt to end his life.
Hocknell is married and has a wife
and one child living in this city.

as a bluff, because he wanted to run
for President. And that was but a few
months before the university opened

quadrangle.

Causes a Heated Argyll
ment on Floor of House
-A

WASHINGTON, March 15.-During
the discussion of the postoffice appro-
priation bill to-day the recent report
Of the Postoffice Department regarding
Congressional solicitation of clerk hire
allowances and rental of quarters to
the Government was again brought
up. Griggs of Georgia got into an
argument with Cooper Of Wisconsin as
to the authorship of the document. ana
insisted, over the protest of Cooper,
that 1T was prepared under the direc-
tion of General Bristow. He defended
the committee, of which he is mem
Der. in giving publicity to the report,
saying that the United States is too
powerful and too great to convict any
man by suppression of the facts. He
said the members of the House, after
threats to tear the roof off the de-
partment," had turned tail and stated
that the department should investigate
the Congressman.
Burton of Ohio delivered a carefully
prepared speech on. the question of in
creases in national expenditures, and
warned the House against extrava-
gance.
The right OF the President to utilize
the yachts Mayflower and Sylph was
questioned by. Cochran of Missouri,
who argued that there was no author
ity of law for it.
The claim of the letter carriers for
increased pay also was espoused by
Cromer of Indiana. He spoke of the
insuff1ciency of the pay Of the rural
mail carriers, and said they should not
be deprived the privilege of acting as
agents for newspapers.
Townsend of Michigan gave notice
of an amendment he would offer to the
bill to increase the salaries of rural
free delivery carriers to $500 a year.
He submitted statement of cost to
which, the carrier was put for the
maintenance of his horses and wagon.
This expense was given as s464 for the
first year and 1894 for the second.
After agreeing that general debate
on the bill be limited to five hours, the
House at $50 adjourned until to-mor-
row.

KILLED WHILE
At THEIR WORK
Explosion of Toy Pistol
Caps Ends Lives of Three
Persons and Wounds Eight
FIRE ADDS TO HORROR
Bodies of Victims So Badly
Burned That Identifica-
tiOn Is a Difficult Task

CHICAGO, March 15.-Three persons,
two of them being boys, were killed
and eight others injured to-day by an
explosion of toy pistol caps which COM
pletely demolished the two-story brick
manufacturing plant of the Chicago
Toy Novelty Company at Western ave-
nue. and West Eighteenth street. The
wrecked building caught fire immedi-
ately after the explosion and the bodies
of the dead were so badly burned and
mangled that it was impossible to rec

clothing. The building was occupied
by three firms, employing nearly 100
persons each. 1t is believed some
others may have been killed, but until
the debris. which is piled fifty feet
high, can be cleared away the exact
number of dead cannot be ascertained.
The known dead:

doing duty in the neighborhood when.
six teamsters attempted to leave the
stables with teams. The pickets by
signal summoned twenty helpers. The
drivers were stoned, it is alleged, and
dragged from the wagons, the as
sailants fleeing when a patrol wagon
loaded with policemen arrived.
A second battle started later at the
company's South Side barn. Escorted
by police, a number of wagons sue
ceeded, however, in getting half way to
a railway freight house, followed by
threatening crowds.

with their escorts, stopped at the Erie

Fifteenth streets. Girls in the crowd
tried to cut the harness and prevent
the wagons leaving the freight station.

long whips and aided by dozen po-
lice officers and detectives, drove back
the throng. Girl strikers tried to per-
suade the union freight handlers to re-
fuse to handle the goods from the
wagons. but the freight handlers de-
cIined to enter the fight.

Blackburn Holds Up to Cen

STRONG DEFENSE MADE

Kentuckian's Fiery Speech

WASHINGTON, March Is. = The
conduct of General Wood while he was
in Cuba serving as Military Governor
during American occupation was held
up to censure to-day in an executive
session of the Senate lasting two
hours by Senator Blackburn. one of
the members of the Committee on
Military Affairs, who Joined in the
minority report against the confirma-
ton of Wood to be major general.
The speech of Blackburn is said to
have been one of the continuous flows
of oratory for which he is famous,
and, though puctuated throughout
with denials and questions from
friends of the nominee, was, it is said,
we'll connected comment on the evil
dence given in the committee hearings.
He did not conclude his remarks and
will have the floor at the next execu
tive session.
The programme as it is now ar
ranged provides that Senator Quarles
shall follow Senator Blackburn in a
speech favoring confirmation, Senator
Teller is TO address the Senate in oppo-
sition and Senator Foraker is to close
for General Wood. If no general ap-
preparation bills are reported to the
Senate to take the right of way it is
thought now an agreement to vote on
the nomination will be reached this
week.
None of the Interruptions of Senator
Blackburn consumed more than five
minutes. Senator Foraker and Sena-
tor Alger were the most persistent in
denying statements made by the
speaker and some of the passages at
arms proved interesting.

A Question Often Asked by Those AZ

A Question Often asked by Those Az
ficted With Piles.
Is a strained joint durable? Is To-
cal Inflammation durable? OF course,
if properly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old chronic" who
has always persisted in the wrong
treatment, and naturally he discour-
ages them by telling them that their
case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every case
be cured by careful and skilIfuI hand
ling is allowed to sap the energy of
thousands who might free themselves
of the trouble in a few days.

most aggravated case of hemorrhoids
in an astonishingly short time. 1t re-

Thousands who had resorted to ex-
pensive surgical treatment have been
cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in a
number of instances persons who had
spent months in a hospital under a
pile specialist.
1t is a remedy that none need fear
to apply even to the most aggravated
swollen and infamed hemorrhoidal
