JOHN A. FRANK DEAD
WAS SANITARY OFFICER FOR
MANY YEARS.

John A. Frank, sanitary officer in the
police department, whose serious illness was
mentioned in yesterdays Star, died of pneu-
monia at his home, 502 G street northeast,
this afternoon, about 1 O'Clock. No man
ever served in the police department whose
death brought sorrow to a wider circle of
friends than does that of the popular SAM
tary officer. Born In Virginia in 1914, he
came to this city when he was quite a boy,
and became connected with the police de-
partment as station-keeper in 1880. Rec
ognizing his ability, the superintendent of
police detailed him at headquarters as sani
tary officer after he was formally sworn in
as member of the force During the per-
Torrance of his duties for number of
years he had charge of the work of looking
after the INDECENT sick and sending home
persons who We're here without means of
returning to their places of residence.
This work brought him in contact with
persons of all classes, and he became well
known in all sections of the United States.
Grams in several of the homes as We're some
of the officials of those institutions. Most
of the old soldiers who had had dealings
with him knew him Capt. Frank, and
even after he gave up the work of assisting
them many of them called upon him when
they came to this city. 1t was with genuine
sorrow that Major Sylvester learned of the
death of the sanitary officer this afternoon.
The deceased was a member of Justus H.
Rathbone Lodge, K. of p. His wife and
five children survive him. Three children
now married were those of his first wife.
Arrangements for his funeral have not yet
been made.

dressed woman, who a moment before had
applied for transportation to New York
drew tiny bottle of carbolic acid from her
satchel, as she sat in the Office of the Board
OF Charities in the basement of the Dis
trict building yesterday afternoon, pulled
out the cork, and was IN the act of rails
ing the vial to her lips when DIR. Percy g.
Smith, attending physician In the Office
seized her hand. The woman struggled to
regain possession of the poison and to ac-
compllsh the expressed purpose of ending
her life, but the bottle was wrested from
her and she was turned over to the ma
tron.
Asked for her reason for wishing to COM
nit suicide the woman told a pitiful tale of
abuse at the hands of her husband and de-
ciared positively that she would not return
to him She further said that she wanted to
get to New York, or anywhere away from
Washington, and there end her life so that
none of her friends or relatives would know
what had become of her. Mrs. Kerwin, one
of the inspectors of the board of charities
investigated the case, and discovered that
the womans husband was a drunkard and
that much OF the story of brutal treatment
she told was undoubtedly true. Efforts
were made to induce the woman to make
one more attempt TO restore happy home re-
latfons, but she persisted In her determine
ton not to return to her husband With no
other possible course suggesting itself at

wouldbe suicide cared for temporarily at

ROSIE LAMBERT.

On July 9th, 1906. the death angel visited the home of our friend, Mr. Q. W. Lambert, planter, of near Me Daniel, and took thence the spirit of his lovely and promising daughter, Rosie, aged F years. She was striek- en with congestion, and though loving hands and science ministered to her. she passed away to that better world. where there k no sorrowine. The precious remains were laid away tine following day in the Yocona ceme- tery, Elder l. II. Cason, of the Bap- list church, this city, performing the religious ceremonies. In such loss, 1t seems mocking to offer words of sympathy. The heart broken parents and others 10 whom she was so dear, cannot understand now, why she was taken. Death loves shining mark, ' is an old and true saying, but from the standpoint of world benefit this is the worlds greatest detriment. May God comfort them.
