DRIVES HER
TO SUICIDE
Grief Causes Aged Mrs. Eta
Hussey to Swallow Fatal
Dose Of Carbolic Acid.

OAKLAND. July a-Grief over the
tragic death of her son drove aged
Mrs. Eta Hussey to suicide last night.
Charles E. Hussey. proprietor of the
Bon Ton saloon on Eleventh street,
near Broadway, died today at Provi-
dence Hospital from a stab wound re-
ceived in a brawl with a man named
Scarcely six hours after his death his
sorrow stricken mother sought release
from her anguish and drank carbolic
acid. She died in an hour
Hussey was stabbed just outside of
his saloon. He was On his way home.
Shortly after midnight. as he was pre-
pairing to leave, a man, afterward
identified as John Feeley, attempted to
gain entrance to his place of business
to get a drink. Hussey told him that
the saloon was closed for the night
and bade him go away. Feeley lay
in wait for Hussey and when the sa-
loon keeper walked into the street at
tackled him.
Hussey struck at Feeley and the lat
ter drew a long dirk and stabbed him
in the abdomen. The assault was wit
messed by George Schultz. F. Clark and
NJ. v. Cobell, who accompanied Hus-
sey. Schultze gave chase to the man
and caught him, but Feeley fought
him off and escaped. He has not yet
been retaken.
Hussey was operated upon at Prov
idence Hospital and later taken to his
home at 572 Jones street. His alarming
condition caused his removal to the
hospital again, where he died this
noon.
The mother had been despondent
over the affair and was greatly
wrought up over his condition. Mrs.
Mary Thomas. a friend, residing at $40
Twelfth street, went to watch over
Mrs Hussey this morning, as the
collapse Her state OF mind became
worse when she learned this afternoon
OF her sons death.
While her friend was absent for a
minute Mrs. Hussey slipped quietly
downstairs to the basement and there
drank the contents of vial of car
bolic acid Before she lost conscious
ness the respondent woman fired two
shots from a pistol, which she had
carried with her. The reports at
tracted Mrs Thomas and Miss Eu-
genie McLaren, a roomer at the house.
The two women rushed to the base
ment to find Mrs. Hussey gasping in in
tense suffering. In one hand was
clutched an envelope. The emptied
vial OF poison and the pistol were on
the floor. The shots. it is supposed by
the police, were fired to attract atten-
ton, though Mrs Hussey might have
tried to shoot herself. and, falling,
drank the poison. The suffering wo-
man was removed to the Receiving
Hospital. but she died soon after.

OF WORLDS
RICHEST MAN
How John D. Rockefeller Is
Amusing Himself in
France.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

CoMPEIGNE. France. July s.-"But
what does the richest man in the world
find at Compeigne to amuse him?"
A Frenchman at the Hotel Ritz in
Paris asked the question. He had seen
Gates and Schwab, Vanderbilt. and
James Hazen Hyde at play. and having
been at Compeigne during the winter
he wondered what opportunity Rookie
feller. the richest of them all. found in
the quaint, provincial town Of old
France during the summer-to cruise
in his yacht, bet a million, break a
bank, race his thoroughbreds or speed
his automobile.
The simple answer is that Rockefel-
ler does none of these. He has never
owned a yacht; he has never bet
million. except perhaps in the way of
business in Wall street: he has never
broken a bank. though he has taken
few, also in a business way; he is shy
of horses. and, while he has an auto
mobile, II is not for pleasure, but sim

then, no amusements? Certainly. And
how does he >amuse himself?
Rockefeller finds his recreation in a
drive through the forest, walk into
Compeigne. a romp with his grand
daughter a snin on his hfcvcle a ro n =
golf with his physician. Most of all he
enjoys a quiet walk beneath the shade
of the Avenue Royale and the chats
with the few associates that he has
called about him since his arrival here
These chats cover the widest possi-
bic range of subjects. His chief forte
is to ask many questions. He seldom
ventures an observation except upon
the most common topics unless he is
directly asked for his view, and then
his answer is given slowly and delib-

NEW YORK, July. "a witness
whose testimony may be of consider
able Importance in connection with the
white-Thaw murder case is Warren
Hammond, who at one time was en-
ployed by Thaw as a valet. Until to-
day 1t had been supposed that when
William Bedford, Thaw's valet. died
the testimony of the only person who
ever occupied the position of a body
servant to the young man had been
irrevoeably lost. Hammond. however,
acted as substitute for Bedford during
four months when the latter was i'll
about three years ago. 1t is expected
that Hammond will be examined at the
District Attorneys Office tomorrow.
Among the persons questioned by AS
sistant District Attorney Caravan today
was Charles Harnett, who was en-

testimony tended to contradict the dis

in medicine from the Washington and
criminology, lies physical and mental
wreck in the city jail, the victim of his
too deep study into the ways of Grim
inals.
Il studied criminology for nine years
and went deeper into it than most men
have" said DR.. Patterson to-day.
Nearly all the men convicted of
crimes are criminals by nature. They
really are not to blame for what they
do My own case shows that. 1 had
no need or excuse for criminal action,
but have the trait in me and it has
had to be gratified If a man is a
criminal 1t will come out in any en-
vironment, and if he is naturally
straight his environment is not going
to make any difference"
DR.. Patterson is accused of forgery.
His parents are wealthy and live at
Salina, Kas., swhere he had wife and
children. About one year ago he was
arrested on a similar charge and his
parents paid the amount of the forgery
to save him from prison. He is slave
to drugs, also.

Two young women whom the District
Attorneys Office has been eager to In
terview are Miss Paula Desmond and
Miss Gertie Grant 1t is alleged that
these young women were followed and
annoyed by detectives who had been
employed to watch White.
Paula Desmond. whose real name is

Both Miss Grant and Miss Desmond
are known to have been friends OF

The activity of the District Attor-
ney's Office in running down all clews
IN the theatrical district is largely due
to the story told Assistant District At
torney Garvan by Edna Mcclure. a
show girl and former friend OF Mrs
Thaw. Miss Mcclure told the Assist-
ant District attorney that White en-
tertained number of guests In q
Broadway restaurant one night. Thaw
saw White enter the place. He began
to abuse White, Miss Mcclure says. and

and apparent deep thought. He is fond
of humorous anecdote and treasures
up the funny stories that DR.. Biggar
tells.
One story which Rockefeller thinks
is intensely amusing is that of the
grateful rattlesnakc which, having been
cared for by the kind hearted man,
caught a burglar in his benefactor's
house one night, and, curling itself
about the burglars arms. raised win

by majority of the Republicans in the
House Of Representatives, and they
thought they could get up bitter fight
in the party by uniting with Republi-
can minority to defeat the will of the
majority. But the Democratic leaders
have again shown how incapable they
are of understanding the purpose of the
Administration or the disposition of the
Republican members of Congress.
So far at this session the Democratic
representatives have had and used one
opportunity to unite with Republicans,
and instead of working with minority
that was friendly to the President and
his policies they have thrown their sup
port to Republican insurgents who were
trying to defeat the joint statehood
bill which was endorsed by the ADMIN
istration. The first battle came off last
week and on Thursday, the 25th ult., the
three dozen Republican insurgents,
plus every Democratic member of the
House, were made to bite the dust.
When the roll was called 1914 Republic
ans voted for the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona as one state and
for the admission of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as another state. The
combined vote of the insurgents and
Democrats against the bill was $50.
Score one victory for the Administra-
ton, won without the assistance of the
Democrats.
