COMMITTED
SUICIDE ON STREET
DETAILS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO
PAPERS REGARDING DEATH
OF WELL KNOWN ISLAND MAN.

OAKLAND, August 1O.-Despondent
over financial and domestic trouble,
Charles H. Bishop, clubman, follower
of the races and a cousin of c. R.
Bishop, a well-known banker of HO-
nolulu, last night ended his life by
shooting himself in the head at lone
ly spot at the corner of Twenty-second
avenue and East Twenty-eighth street.
The shot which ended Bishops life was
heard at about 10 o'clock last night by
several residents in the neighborhood,
but the body was not found until this
morning.
A woman who refused to give her
name notified the police this morning
that the body of a man was lying on
the sidewalk at the spot mentioned.
The police in turn notified the Coroner
and the remains were removed to the
Morgue, where they were later identi-
fed by James S, Durham, a relative of
Bishop
Bishop was so years old. He had
been separated from his wife, who has
been residing with her sister Mrs. K.
T. Waite, at 2418 Durant street. Mrs.
Bishop is at present in Ross Valley.
Three sons survive, two of whom are
at the Hitchcock Academy in San RAJ
fael and one in Honolulu.
Bishop returned a short time ago
from Seattle, where he had been fol-
lowing the races. Since his return he
had been drinking heavily. At one time
he was prominent in fraternal and
business circles in Honolulu
Among Bishops effects were life

relative, said Bishop had encountered

received endorsement, Holloway said
that the expert appeared rather to have
followed new lines of his own. in draw
ing the report, and to have rejected the
Patterson theories. "The report calls
for some considerable alterations in the
plans said the superintendent. "It
is impossible to say off hand just what
the alterations amount to-"
In the matter of the pipe through the
middle of the dam, which was one of
the main causes of complaint by Pat
terson and others, Kellogg disagrees
with the kickers. He does not recon-
mend that the pipe be changed in To-
cation. He does recommend, how
ever, that it be further reinforced
1t is said that but little of the work
already done at the dam is affected by
the report. But the changes called
for are believed to be very considerable
Holloway and Rowland will figure them
out, and then the question of what shall
be done in the matter will come up for
discussion. This will be taken up with
the governor next week.

A
BOAT FOR
SETTLERS
NOW REGARDED AS HIGHLY
COMPLETED ARRANGEMENTS.

There seems little doubt in the minds
of local people that the mission of Col
lector E. r. Stackable 10 the Azores
has proved a success In fact letters
received from him today in the S. S.
Alameda mail indicate that he had
finished his arrangements in the
Azores and is now in London negotiat-
ing for the charter of a steamship to
bring the new settlers to these islands.
r. c. Stackable. the acting collector
of the port, who is a brother of the
Collector, received two letters from
Stackable. Both letters were written
at Ponta del Gada, Azores. One bore
the date of July 20 and the other July
90 In the first letter Stackable COM
plains that the work was not progress
ing as rapidly as he desired, but he eX-
plains that the Azores are a lazy mans
country, and the business hours are
very short. He stated that if all went
well. he would go to London August
IL for the purpose of chartering a
steamship. In the last letter he does
not report about the progress of his
negotiations but repeats his statement
regarding the chartering of a steam
ship to convey the settlers to these ISL
ands.
The fact that he was in London on
August 10 as shown by his cable to
Mrs. Stackable, is taken as an indica-
ton that he has completed satisfactory
arrangements about securing settlers
from the Azores and had gone to Eng
land for the purpose of providing
transportation for them.

TENNEY HEARS
FROM THE AGENT

e, D. Tenney, member of the Board
of immigration, received three postals
and a private letter from Mr.. Stack
able, immigration agent in the Azores.
The letter was postmarked July 20.
In the private letter to Mr. Tenney
Mr.. Stackable stated that things were
progressing favorably, and if they con-
tinued to do so he would leave the
Azores and proceed to Italy and then
to London where he would charter a
steamship with which to transport the
immigrants.
Since that letter was written 1t has
been learned here that Mr.. Stackable
is in London. 1t is therefore thought
that he was successful in his mission
and had gone on in order to obtain
the ship.

ADAMS STOPPED
HIS SALARY
SUPERVISOR-AT- DIDN'T
TAKE PAY DURING HIS LONG
ABSENCE.

The immediate reason for the resign
alton of Supervisor Adams is said to
have been a cable sent from here sug-
costing that he had better withdraw
in view of his continued absence.
Adams, when he left, didn't expect to
be away very long, but when he was
detained he ceased to draw his salary
as supervisor, taking pains to send
notice here to stop his salary.
On receipt of news that Adams alb
sence was likely to be delayed for some
time, cable was sent from here sug
costing that he vacate the office, and
Adams Immediately cabled his resign
alton.
