Jealousy Is Believed to Have
Turned On the Deadly Fluid

Love. jealousy and intemperance in
and an attempted suicide last Sunday
night in the lodging house at 624 Kear-
ny street. AS the result of a sighted
woman's rage William Henry Evans
lies on a slab in the Morgue and Annie

On Sunday afternoon at o'clock they
arrived at their lodgings drunk and
quarrelsome One of the inmates named
Florence Bell informed Deputy Coroner
Charles Meehan that Evans threw the
Newton woman out of the room and
threatened to have nothing further to
do with her. After the woman had
pleaded for a while he relented and al
lowed her to re-enter. 1t was then that
she declared that If Evans should at
tempt to cast her off she would commit
suicide or turn on the gas on both of
them.
F. A. Emerson, a friend of Evans,
called at midnight, and receiving no re-
sponse to his knocks notified Landlord
Siersted and suggested that he should
force an entrance, but the landlord
said that they were in a drunken sleep
and he did not wish them to be dis
turbed.
Emerson called again at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning and knocked again
at the door of the room occupied by
Evans and the Newton woman. Not
obtaining a reply and detecting the
odor of Illuminating gas, Emerson
forced the door leading from the ad-
Joining room to Evans and found
Evans lying dead across the bed, fully
dressed except his shoes. The woman
was in her nightgown, unconscious. The
keyhole was plugged with the end OF
towel. Two burners feeding gas cook
ing stove were open. The woman was
taken to the Harbor Hospital for medi-
cal treatment and the body of the man
sent to the Morgue. The hospital sur
geon SAYS the woman will die.

NEED NEW BUILDING.

That the general public is beginning to ap-
preciste the needs Of the City and County Hos
pital is shown by the fact that in a recent
election the city voted to issue bonds to the
amount OF a million dollars for the erection OF
a new building.
Another speaker will present to you a state

ports it's charity hospital and will compare it
with similar institutions in other cities Suf-

propriates less per patient than any other hos

I have said that the salary list is some

of the Home for the Feeble minded at
Glen Ellen, Sonoma County. DR.. Daw-

the way of finances and new buildings.
He said that the institution was totally
inadequate for the number OF persons
in it, A waiting list has to be main

in the Care and Treatment Of Insane
Dr. Hatch said in part:
The best way to treat insane people is to
care for their morals We should have hos
pital for the keeping and treating OF the
slightly affected insane, so that they might
be kept from the asylums. There are many
cases of alcoholic insanity that would never
go farther than this hospital. If there was
such a hospital these cases might be easily
studied and better treated. If the cases are
incurabe or acute then the subjects can be
assigned to asylum.
The hospital should be equipped with builG-
ings for the holding of subjects for observa-
ton Many of insanity, II quickly
treated can be readily cured
There should be wards where the conval-
escents can be placed. The insane not con-
sidered hopeless cases should be provided
with work A colony might be established,
where they could be put TO work and get
plenty of exercise. / think that the State
should do away with the legal process in COM
mftting subjects to the asylums; do away
with any semblance of criminality or courts
in the committing of weak minded people

We have three prime causes of insanity.
which help to fill our asylums. Much of the
correction of these causes can be done by char
liable institutions and cannot be done at the
asylums where it is too late. 1 refer mainly
to alcoholism. In a certain part of Germany

inmates victims of drink In others the
percentage rs per cent. Another cause Of
insanity is that dread disease syphilis. Twen-
ty-five per cent of all the cases l know Of
have resulted from this terrible disease. The
last cause is intermarriage of persons afflicted
with some disease. causing the offspring to be
affected by heredity. The task of correcting
these enumerated causes is utopian. know. but

by DIR. Hatch. He said:

was present and it listened TO several
papers, all Of them dealing with med
icine and the treatment of disease.
The City and County Hospital was
the subject of much discussion at the
morning session. Papers on this in

ford and DR.. William Watt Kerr. The
subject was discussed by DR.. James
Ward, president of the city Board of
Health. and DR.. A w. Clark of the

San Francisco has never had reason to be

done but mighty little TO better things since

as a temporary structure to house the patients
while a proper permanent building was being
