Woman Ends Life in
WeStlake Park
Startles Man on Bench
Beside Her
Acting on Her Brothers Advice, Mrs
Daniels Takes Walk - Suicidal
Impulse Seizes Her and She
Drinks CarboIIc Acid

Mrs. Emma Daniels of 1912 West
Fourth street committed suicide in
Westlake park by drinking carbolic
acid early last night.
Alexander West, who had accompan-
led the woman to the park, hastily
summoned the police ambulance, but
the woman was taken to the Good Sa-
maritan hospital in an automobile be-
fore the officers arrived.
Mrs. Daniels expired shortly after
reaching the hospital. She made no
dying statement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniels came to Los
Angeles from Chicago.
+ Neighbors say that their home life
on the surface has been apparently
ideal. They say, however, that Mrs.
Daniels was acquainted with Alexander
West in Chicago and that she has been
seen with him in Wetslake park and
gone walking or boatriding with him.
1t is said that Mrs. Daniels met West
yesterday at his bicycle shop at $50
South Alvorado street. which he runs
in conjunction with her brother, Frank
GOebel.
Goebel noticed that his sister looked
pale and suggested to West that he
take her for a walk in the park The
couple strolled for while on the drives
and finally sat down on a bench.
Vests attention was attracted away
from Mrs. Daniels for a minute and
when he turned to look at her again
she was pressing vial to her lips.
West grabbed the woman's hand
from her mouth, but too late to save
her life. He ran like mad to the BIZ
cycle shop across the street and yelled:
Get the nearest doctor, quick"
Mrs. Daniels has one son, Howard,
II years of age. Her husband seemed
distracted when the news was broken
to him.
The body was taken to Breese Bros

number of people hurt by debris.
The excursion steamer Liberty, filed
with pleasure seekers, caught in the
storm near Alton, ILL.,, was driven
through the Mississippi river at un-
controllable speed and dashed into a
dixie on the Missouri side.
Rocking and toppling with the ter
rorized passengers huddled in the cabin.
the PROV of the boat was forced upon
the government dixie while the force of
the wind hurled chairs into the river
from the deck and shattered the cabin
windows.
The boat held firmly on the dixie, how
ever, and when the storm had abated
sufficiently the government boat Lucia
transhipped the passengers and landed
them in Alton.
The wind blew at a velocity of thirty
miles an hour and was accompanied by
incessant lightning and a heavy down
pour of rain and for short time hail
stones fell.

rying Prison Sentence

By Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, July 26.-At today's
session of the Hartje trial counsel for
Augustus Iartje called witnesses to
refute the story told by the coachman,
Tom Nadine, to the effect that while
Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje was in Mem
phis Hartje met a blonde woman in
Schenly park and took her to his home
in the carriage driven by Nadine.
new sensation in the case is prom
ised before the week is over. Josephine
Wright. whom Augustus Hartje had
been charged with visiting at No. 24O
Second avenue, was placed on the
stand and stated that Hartje had never
visited her. 1t is said that witnesses
will be placed on the stand by Mrs.
Hartje to rebuilt the Wright testimony.
1t Is reported that informations are to
be made and these informations are to
be based upon the Wright woman's
evidence.
The unusual spectacle of a husband
giving evidence, that If produced in a
criminal court would tend to convict
his wife of crime, the punishment for
which Is imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. was seen this morning.
Wilbur Ashby, the husband of
Blanche Ashby. formerly a domestic in
the Hartje household, swore that his
wife had told him she had lied in the
Q6pOSlI1OnS Sne nldue IOT
and that she had been promised money
for doing so.
Ashby also swore that his wife had
told him that Mrs. Hartje had declared
to her she was sorry she had not re-
turned to live with Hartje when he
asked her to go back to him. At this
statement Mrs. Hartje showed more
astonishment than she exhibited at any
of the testimony hitherto.
Tn tha OrnSS-aYaninatiO11 lattau
which Ashby had written to Mrs.
Hartje was placed in evidence. In it
he told Mrs. Hartje that if f'she could
pay Blanche for speaking for her
Hartje could do the same" This took
some of the wind out. of the sails of the
Hartje side, as all the testimony on
that point had been to the effect that
Ashby had written that if Mrs. Hartie
could pay Blanche 'for lying" Hartje
could afford to pay for the truth.
One of the closing events of the. trial
will be to show where and swheh the
Nadine love letters were secured.
This, 1t was reported this afternoon,
would be done tomorrow.

RUDYARD KIPLING
WRITES A SATIRE
BY Associated Press.

BOSTON, July 26.-The Standard
this morning publishes a poem by Rud-
yard Kipling entitled South Africa
which the Standard calls an eloquent,
yet condensed statement of the British
case" in that country.
1t is a satire on the governments al
legged haste to frame new constitutions
for the South African colonies, under
which some persons fear that Boer as
tendency will be again established in
the TranSvaal.
Mr.. Kipling reminds Englishmen of
the price paid to "lose the yoke meath
which our brethren lay" and condemns
the alleged treachery by which the
colonists will be again betrayed into the
hands of the Beers, saying:
"Our rulers jugglingly devise
To sell them back again."
In this connection it is said the gov
ernment contemplates a majority OF
British representatives in the pro-
posed Transvaal legislative assembly
Nevertheless, the opposition in the
house of commons will vigorously fight
the proposed constitution.
