Police Commission Takes Final Action
in Case Which Had Inception
Three Weeks Ago in
Bar Fight

The saloon license of Henry Tostman
of 456 South Main street was revoked
last evening by the police commission.

duty about three weeks ago. 1t was
stated that Tostman interfered with
officers who were about to arrest man

torn off, when Tostman is alleged to
have asserted that the officers author
ity vanished with the star.
The police commission. after hearing
the charges, adjourned for few mo-
ments, after which they announced
that the license was revoked.
Three weeks ago Detective Tala-

Insanely Jealous because she thought
her husband was untrue to her, Mrs.
Charles $. Smith attempted to commit
suicide by swallowing chloroform at 19
o'clock last night in her room at the
Hotel Salisbury, S41h South Spring
street.
Her husband smelt the fumes coming
from his wife's bedroom and when he
saw the woman apparently lifeless on
the bed he ran into the office and told
the proprietor. Jacob Gordon, that Mrs.
Smith was dead. Running into the
room Gordon saw the woman was in a
dying condition and Immediately sum
moned the patrol wagon. When taken
to the receiving hospital 1t was found
the woman would probably survive
Gordon says the man and woman
have been quarreling for several
months and oftentimes he has heard
loud talking coming from the room.
Last night the young couple retired
to their rooms early and talking which
denoted that they were quarreling
violently emanated from the room, Cor
don said.
Accuses Husband
Gordon says the woman was insanely
jealous of her husband and took him
to task a great deal about women who
she claimed were unduly intimate with
her husband.
Smith, in speaking of the affair, said
his wife was 10 years old and was
annoyed because he had given orders
in his capacity as chef in West
Fourth street restaurant to the wait
resses. Smith refused to give the name
of the restaurant where he says he is
employed.
Late in the evening the woman was
taken home by her husband, the man
walking in front and the woman fol-
lowing in his wake. She would not dis
cuss her suicidal attempt.
