DUNLEVY WILL
SOON RETIRE
His Application Will Be
Acted Upon by the Pen
sion Board Next Monday
HAS HONORABLE RECORD
Vacancy VIII Be Filled
by. the Promotion of Lieu
tenant Joseph ]. Burnett

The Police DEPARTMENT will soon lose
the services of Captain Andrew ]. Dun
levy: who for nearly twenty years mas
been in charge of the harbor district.
At the last quarterly meeting Of the
Polh,e Pension Board an understanding
was reached. between him and the board
that he would retire at the next quar-
terlv meeting, which viii be held on
Monday AFTERNOON. In accordance with
This understanding the captain has filed
his application TO be placed on the re-
tired, list.
p. Captain Dunlevy with one exception
has the longest record Of service. He
5oined the force on May /. 1868. exactly
one month after Detective Sergeant
Robert Hogan became a member Of the
department. At that time he was 81
years OF age. He became a sergeant on
December 81, 1873, and a captain on
May 3. 1854. His record has been an
honorable one, and his bravery and
efficiency at all times won for him the
admiration Of his brother officers.
The retirement Of Captain Dunlevy
VIII be followed by the promotion of
Lieutenant Joseph J. Burnett, who is
next on the eligible list. 1t is probable
that Burnett will be- assigned to the
central district, with which he is> thor
oughly familiar, and that Captain Duke
will be assigned 10 the harbor district
The assignments are in the hands
Chief Whitman.

Her attorney insisted on having the
complainant ordered to appear in court
yesterday, and failing in that he sum-
noned a son Of Mr.. Whittier. The Judge
did not approve the energetic lawyer
method of procedure, and roundly
scored him for Dragging the young man

apparent motive than that of ascertain
ing from him where his father was to
be found. Then the continuance was
ordered.

SUICIDE DIES
ON FERRY BOAT
Stranger Swallows Poison
in Presence of Passengers
of the Steamer San Jose
HE EXPIRES INSTANTLY
Deckhands Prevent Him
Jumping Into. the Bay,
but He FOils His Rescuers

With a pound of deadly cyanide of
potassium. in his hand a man whose
identity was unknown to the spectators
killed himself yesterday on board the
Key route ferry steamer San, Jose. The
steamer left the ferry depot at the foot
of Market street at noon, and after she
had well cleared the .sIp on her way
toward Berkeley he ran to the rail and
attempted to jump Into the bay. His
attempt was frustrated by A. ]. Bert.
ram and Charles Mckenzie, deckhands.
who seized him just as he got one leg
over the rail and forced him back to
the middle of the deck. Remarking,
with a smile, that.it had not been his
intention to go overheard. he quickly
uncorked a large bottle, dumped a.
handful of cyanide of potassium into
his right hand and put it into his
mouth. John Wash, a deckhand, tried
to prevent the unfortunate man from
swallowing the poison, but while he
had hold of him the suicide fell to the
deck a. corpse.
The bottle contained one pound Of
cyanide Of potassium and was wrapped
in "a sheet of the London. Tit. Bits Of
the date OF February 8, 1904. In
pocket of his. coat was found a. six
ounce bottle containing a small quan-
tfty of very thinly diluted muriatic
acid. Nothing else was found in his
pockets save two small envelopes. such
as are. used as pay envelopes in certain
business places. On. one of these was
the number 2s3 and :"S13 So. Rohnbach."
The other had. the same name and
/ 80 CO., in pencil.on: it. -: -.
The suicide was about thirty years
old, stoutly built, fullfaced. of fair COM
plexion. blue eyes; brown. hair. and
reddish '.nustache. The hands. were
small. for the body and evidently those
of an. artisan in light work. The cloth
ing: was "a square. sack suit of black
I.cheviot; a soft: black hat and black
laced shoes. AZ card of the 'Barrnl
House. 115. 0Farrel1 street; was also

NEED NOT PAY DEMAND
I TO JUSTICES CLERK
City Attorney Renders an Opinion
Relative to judgments Obtained
AGAINST Municipal Employees.

City Attorney Long yesterday rem.
dered. an opinion that it is the duty of
the City Treasurer TO refuse payment
of a demand presented by Justices
Clerk McComb and drawn in favor Of
David Russell, a police officer. The

dered for such an amount of the judg-
ment debtors demand as may be re-
quired TO satisfy the judgment and is
not exempt from execution, and at the
same time TO audit and allow the ex-
cess in favor of the judgment debtor.

After Virginia Educators.

Virginia educators seem to be in de-
mand. The University Of Tennessee To-
Gated at Knoxville, is in search OF a
president to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation Of DR.. Charles Dab
ney who has gone to Cincinnati. The
election is to take place next Monday at
Knoxville. and while he is in no way a
candidate, it Is understood that the name
Of Rev. DR.. William FL Whltsitt, of Rich
n.ond College, will be presented to the
board Of trustees by some Of his enthu-
! siastic friends.
DR.. Whitsitt is one of the ablest schol-
ars and teachers in the South, and is a
man of great executive ability; and while
his many friends in old Virginia, especial
ly those directly Interested in Richmond
College, would resist, If they could, any
suggestion OF his removal from Virginia
and her educational interest, they recog-
nize the fact that his abilities eminently
fit him for any position in his line that
his native State, Tennessee. may see fit
to call him.

that tho owners OF property prefer ten-

1t lis not surprising that they refuse to
rent their property to houscholders who

that any rented house which contains
boys Ia morally sure to be defaced and
injured. No man can be blamed for

There Is lesson here for parents and
for teachers. 1t Is not too harsh to say
that Richmond Is cursed with boy van
dals. They are a terror to property
owners, and limo and again has 1t boon
reported to tho police authorities and to
tho newspapers that vacant houses have
been seriously injured by boys, who have
broken In and defaced tho walls and
sometimes stolen the lead pipes. Tho boys
of Richmond need radical discipline on
this subject First Of ssll. the little ones

idea that there should DO discrimination
against man and his wife because they

PARTY FAVORED
THE YOUNG MEN
New Faces Forged to the Front
for the Presidential
Struggle.

If the state Democratic Convention,
which met here last week, did one thing
more striking than another, it was the
putting is harness of so many young men
for the presidential campaign in Virginia
this fall.
a. casual reading Of the list Of cleo
tors will show that out Of the entire
number of twelve, there are only four
who have passed the fortieth mile-post
on the journey of life, and that ma
jority OF them are barely thirty years OF
age, some being a great deal younger
Judge D. w. Bolen, of the Sixth Dis
trict and Senator keezell. OF the Seventh
are the Oldest. and eN-Congressman
Tucker, one of the electors at large, is
Eext, while Judge Rhea, OF the Ninth is
a close second for Mr.. Tucker. Messrs.
Tucker and Rhea are yet on the sunny
side Of fifty, while next to them come
Messrs. Barksdale, Of Halifax and Hal
sey, of Lynchburg who range around
the forty mark.
The other six are all very young men.
They are: Messrs, Withers. Of Nanse-
mond; Pollard. of Richmond; Lassiter, OF
Petersburg: Garrett, of Mathews; Carln.
of Alexandria, and Allen. Of Amherst.
Not a single ono Of these young Demo-
Gratis has sprig Of beard. nos have any
of them passed far beyond their thirticth
birthday. Messrs Withers, Garrett and
Allen are considerably under. thirty, while
the other three are but little over. They
are all good campalgners, however, and
are expected to produce great volumes OF
eloquence for the Democratic ticket this
