SAYS POLICE VENT
THEIR POLITICAL SPITE
BILLIARD ROOM PROPRIETOR is
INDIGNANT
J. S. Allen Asserts That Two Officers
frequently Tried to Get Commits
sion to Revoke His License and
Finally Succeeded

Declaring that the police commission
had taken snap judgment and acted on
prejudiced reports of officers who were
unfavorable to him, j. s. Allen last
evening asked the police commission to
reconsider it's action Of last Tuesday
evening, when his billiard license was
revoked. The board voted to grant him
hearing in two weeks, when Chief
Auble will return from his trip to the
east.
Allen asserts that Officers Glenn and
Stephens, who are on the beat near his
place, 701 East Third street. have tried
on various occasions to get his license
away from him, and also intimated that
the action of the commission in taking
away his license was largely actuated
by political spite.
1t was reported to the police commits
sion last Tuesday evening that Allen
was conducting a blind pig in con-
nection with his billiard hall, and it was
chiefly on this report that his license
was revoked.

CAT SPARKS CAUSE FIRE
Highly Excited Felines Ignite Gas and
All Lose Their Nine Lives
at Once
Special to The HeraId

at OnCe
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 12-Electric
sparks from the tails of highly excited
cats, which were about to lose all of
their nine lives at once, exploded the
gas into which they were thrust in the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
building on West One Hundred and
Second street
The tank was blown up and employees
were injured, but the cats died, al
though, like Samson, they worried more
men in their death than in all their
lifetimeS.
John P. Haines, retiring president of
the society, advanced the electricity
theory to explain the explosions. These
latter have not been frequent and Mr..
Haines usually has been morally Ger
tain that careless use of matches or
cigarettes has been prevented. But the
watchfulness demanded around the gas
tank and the solemn denials of the sur
vivors led him to consider other sources
for the explosions.
A driver employed by the society was
disabled in one of these explosions, and
has been paid a pension ever since the
salary he heretofore drew stopped.
One million cats and dogs have passed
ciety's gas tanks.
When the death sentence is imposed
they are taken into the chamber of
execution, where metal and wood air
tight tank, ten feet long and five feet
wide, awaits them. Into this gas is
introduced, and when it is full two ami
mails at a time are put through door
in the top. They invariably make q
rush to escape the executioner's grasp
as he releases them. In ten seconds
they fall asleep, but they do some
scurrying first especially the cats
whose vitality Is great.
The gas mixed with air In the tank
Is a highly explosive compound. Cats
can see trouble long way off, Theil
suspicion Of the human race is deep
seated and intense. II Is a well known
domestic fact that an excited cats tai
swells up and all his hair stands OF
| end.
II is equally well established scien.
tifically that any day when the atinos
phere Is dry cats back Will develop
II rubbed, enough electricity TO give of
! bright sparks. Hence the explosion.

Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DIR. Miles Nervine.
1t assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole

RATES LOWERED IN NEVADA
Development Of State and Increase in
Traffic Are Responsible
Ry Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO. June 12.-The an
nouncement is made today that the
Southern Pacific will reduce the passen-
ger rates in Nevada about 20 per cent
on or about July l.
1t is said that in proportion to its rail-
road mileage Nevada has during the
past twenty years had less local travel
than any other state, owing to the
sparsely settled country and lack of
development.
Recently, however, the reclamation
and mining enterprises have begun
what the railroad believes to be a new
era of progress, which it is hoped to
accelerate by means of lower rates.

FIRES A BULLET
INTO HIS BRAIN
UNHAPPY LOVE AFFAIR CAUSES
RASH ACT
San Francisco Blacksmith Whose Shop
Was Burned Out in Fire Takes
Own Life at Hotel
BroWnstone

William O'Connor. aged %. formerly
of San Francisco, shot himself in the
head early yesterday morning in his
room at Hotel Brownstone, 427 East
Fifth street.
Dependency over an unhappy love
affair with some girl now in this city
is supposed to be the cause for the
suicide.
Mrs. Viola Shaw, who occupied an adj
joining room, heard the report of a
pistol about 4:30 O'Clock and she at once
notified the landlady.
Together they entered the room, and
found O'Connor lying upon his bed with
a revolver by his side.
Death was probably instantaneous.
The bullet entered the head through the
right temple.
Lau 1hs and Chats
Monday night O'Connor laughed and
chatted with Peter Sweeney, the night
clerk, and said he expected to go to
San Francisco in few days. Although
in good health and apparently in a
cheerful mood, except when speaking
of his love affair, guests at the hotel
stated OConnor had often said ne
would put u bullet in his head if
things went against him.
He mailed a letter late Monday night
pelleVeu 10 De addressed 10 ms sweet
heart, but the clerk did not know her
name.
O'Connor arr ived in the city week
age He said he was formerly a black
smith, but his shop was burned out in
the San Francisco fire.
Only a small amount of change was
found in his pockets at the under
takers.
The inquest was held late in the af-
ternoon and verdict of suicide was re-
turned. O'Connor's relatives are all
living near San Francisco, as far as is
known.

Class Reunion.

The third reuulon OF the Lam bert
Vile High School Glass of 99 was
held on~rnesday, July 10, eight ont of
fifteen of the class being present
The class had planned to drive to
Cotalossa aud to take their supper
there, but owing to the stormy wealth
er they did not start until after six
o'clock and decided to take ride in a
di fferent direction. In spite Of the
still threatening weather it was very
merry party that climbed INTO the big
wagon provided for them with their
banners for 80 hanging from either
side. Taking the river road they
passed through Stockton and on to
Sadly Ridge. Stopping near the
Baptist Church, they decided to stay
in the wagon and eat supper, the
ground being too damp. Lanterns
were suspended from the sides of the
wagon and the young folks ate with
keen relish the good things provided
for them. After supper. they took a
long drive through the surrounding
country, returning home through
Ringoes and Mt Airy, and down the
York road. Many of the old school
songs were sung aud school pranks
recalled and the evening was thorough
ly enjoyed by each one, the only re-
greet being that more OF the class could
not be present. 1t was suggested by
one of the class that at the reunion o (
1908 a large basket should be fastened
to the wagon so that all of the class
babies could go along aud thus take
more of the old classmates.
Those attending the picnic were :
Mr.. and Mrs. John Folkner, Misses
Blanche Finger, Ethel Flummerfelt,
Mabel Hoagland, Grace Pierson, Rob
ert Phillips, Edward Thorne aud Jos
eph Lear.
The reunions of this class occur
every two years and are looked for
ward to by all of the members with
great interest aud although all are
unable to attend reunions, letters are
sent by those who are obliged to be
absent, with greetings to their old
classmates. No other class of the Lam.
bertville High School has maintained

the members of 80 that they may al.
ways hold these reunions, which are
enjoyed so mnch by all of them.
