SITS THREE DAYS
DEAD IN BATH TUB
Wife from Whom He Had Separated
and Who Had Instituted Suit
for Divorce Weeps Be-
side Body

o. NJ. McAuley, a silk salesman who
has been employed in several of the
leading department stores i'm Los Ange-
les, was found dead yesterday after
noon in bathtub half filled with water
at his rooming house, 2111a West First
street.
1t is thought he died of heart disease
as there were no indications of suicide
The tub in which he sat was half full
of water. but his head was far above
the surface, and there was no possi-
bility that he had been drowned.
McAuley rented the room which he
occupied last Sunday morning. About
2 o'clock he told the landlady, Mrs.
Mary E. Eagen, he wished to take a
bath and desired towels. These were
given him and he went to the bath
room. He was not seen again until the
door was broken down yesterday aft
ernoon. When found his underwear
was neatly folded on a chair, while his
clothing was hung on other ones.
McAuley came to this city several
years ago with his wife and three chill
dren from Atlanta, Ga, where he had
er coming to California he is said to
have began drinking and trouble be-
tween him and his wife arose. Recently
his wife, who now lives at Dayton and
Barrow streets, with the three chill
dren, began suit for divorce on the
grounds of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. The case was set for last Mon
day, but owing to the absence of Judge
| Munroe from the city it was postponed
until next Monday.

had committed suicide, but later she

The body was taken to Pierce Bros.
undertaking parlors and last night she
viewed it there and wept bitterly.
MY husband and myself had not
been happy for several years. she said.
He drank a great deal since we
came to California and / have been

about As years of age, and he was a
first-class silk salesman. He had been
employed in several of the leading
stores in the city. Our three children

Imposing Unique Punishment.

Forcing a cigarette smoker to give
up for one year the use of cigarettes
is the novel sentence judge IN
Pennsylvania has passed upon young
man brought before him for obtaining
goods under false pretenses. While
the course of this court could not be
followed exactly in many cases, there
is something in the spirit Of its ruling
that will appeal to all who condemn
indlscriminate punishment. The young
man might have gone to prison for
year, but that would have marred his
life. Be- ides there may have beea
members of his family dependent upon
him for support who during his alb
sence would have suffered quite as
much as he. Always pursuing con-
ventional lines of punishment some OF
the shadow of the punishment fails
upon innocent persons. This is new
table. But in this case the offender
s the only sufferer and no one doubts
that he will be very unhappy and SIN
cerely sorry that he ever went wrong
And what other ends can punishment
have in view?

that the end OF the general debate
on the railroad rate bin would be-
come apparent before the end Of the
present week and that then an agree
ment upon a day for a vote could be
reached. The statement was made
in response to a request by Senator
Tillman for such an agreement.
There was no other discussion of the
rate bill during the day. The ses-
sion was almost entirely devoted to
consideration of the conference re-
port on the bill providing for final
settlement of the affairs of the five
civilized tribes OF Indians.
After nearly three days of general
debate, with the postoffee appropria-
ton bill as the vehicle for discussion
of wide range of subjects, the
house reached consideration of the
bill itself. There were a number of
lively debates during the day but lit
tie progress was made with the bill.

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

washington, April 10.-For more
than four hours Senator Bailey
held the undivided attention of the
senate with a speech replying to Sen
ators Spooner and Knox. Senator
Bailey set out with the one end in
view of establishing the soundness OF
his contention that congress has
power to deny to inferior United
States courts the right to suspend
orders Of the interstate commerce
commission pending final decision OF
cases arising under the proposed
law. This he undertook to do by
citing ihnumerable decisions and
quoting many authorities. Senator
Hale announced his willingness to
accept the anti-suspension amend
ment and expressed confidence that
If Senator Bailey would on the other
hand agree to broad court review
there would be comparatively little
difficulty In reaching an agreement on
the bill. In response Senator Bailey
said he did not believe review by the
courts could be denied under the con.
stitution,
For seven hours the house had un.
der consideration the postofice APP
preparation bill. but in only few In
stances were its provisions consid-
cred. During a debate on a special
appropriation for railway mail pay,
bitter words were exchanged between
representatives from North Carolina,
Arkansas and Kentucky. Speeches
were made by Mr.. Bede OF Minnesota
and Mr.. Towne of New York. who
spoke in behalf ST the jamestown ex.

live to see the completion of the whole.

Those OF the north who still look

10 the lookup. During the afternoon
there was much driving, but that was
family affair. No vaudeville per
Torrance was on, in fact there is no
provision in the civilization of Ard
more for that form of entertainment.
Occasionally a bootlegger is over
taken with liquor; but the speedy and
inconsiderate justice with which his
capture is followed leaves little en-
couragement for others engaged in
the business. The express company
sometimes is raided, usually on Sat
urday afternoon. While l was there
the United States marshal visited the
office of the Wells, Fargo & Co. ex-
press company and hauled away
load of mysterious packages. Some
were marked 'corsets," others
pickles." etc, but the marshal had a
discerning eye and made no mistake.
When these bundles were opened each
was found to contain bottle which
was promptly smashed on the rock
pile at the rear of the federal court
building. For a time the air bore a
fragrance that suggested Madison on
the eve of an aldermanlc election,
then all was peaceful and decent
again.
The best of all is, the people there
beneve in the quiet of dry town.
They say that If the liquor interests
in congress defeat the 21-year prohi-
bition clause in the statehood bill,
they will enact law OF their own.
And the town is not dead. A city
can be built and made to prosper
without drunkenness, as is proven by
Ardmore. The federal census OF
1900 gave the city $500 population;
the 5-year census of 1905 showed
more than $1,000. All this without a
drunk, a pauper or a poorhouse! 1t
takes pride in the record and adver-
tises to the world that it is dry and
proposes to stay so,-that those who
want whiskey may go elsewhere.
There may be a lesson in this for
older and more staid communities.

He was frequently interrupted by
other senator's. Senator Lodge spoke
in support of the practice for grant
ing lower rates on goods intended
for export than on those used in
domestic consumption.
The feature of the proceedings in
the house was a speech by Mr. Coch-
ran of New York who launched into
a defense of the Hepburn rate bill
and the high position taken by the
house not only in the exceptional
character of the legislation, but in
the dignified way in which the bill
passed the house. In this connection
he ridiculed the constitutional debat-
ers in the senate. Increased pay

has been a fruitful source of i'm

Washington, April 1S-Immediately
after the journal had been read the
house plunged into consideration of
resolution offered by Mr.. Gardner Of
Massachusetts to have eXpunged from
the record certain remarks rejecting
npon ,le integrity Of -dr. Bennett of
New York. Acrimonious words were
general. The debate grew in in
tensity of expression and the minorlLy
leader, Mr.. Williams, had severely
impugned the motives of Mr.. Bennett,
who had secured the passage of
Joint resolution some days ago waiv
ing the immigration laws in the case

drawn into the discussion and there
seemed imminent a clash between the
Pennsylvania and the Mississippian,
when Speaker Cannon ordered both
gentlemen to their seats and directed
that the supplementary language
used by Messrs. Dalzell and Williams
be stricken from the record. Owing
to the fact that none of its members
was prepared to speak on the rail-
road rate bill, that measure was LAID
aside in the senate. Among the bills
passed was one increasing the pen
sions of ex-soldiers who lost limbs;
another retiring and pensioning petty
officers and men of the army, navy
and marine corps after 30 years OF
service at three-fourths regular pay,
and third bill increasing pensions OF

suggestions That May Keep One
From the Doctor.
A person in good health, with fair
play, easily resists cold, but when the
health flags a little and liberties are
taken with the stomach or with the
nervous system chill is easily taken
and, according to the weak spot of the
Individual, assumes the form of a cold
or pneumonia, or it may be jaundice.
Of all causes of cold probably fatigue
is one Of the most efficient. A jaded
man coming home at night from a long
days work, a growing youth losing two
hours sleep over evening parties two
or three times week or a young lady
heavily doing the season." young chill
dren Overfed and with short allowance
of sleep, are common instances of the
victims of cold.
Luxury is favorable to chill taking.
Very hot rooms, feather beds, soft
chairs, create a sensitiveness that leads
to catarrhs. 1t is not, after all, the cold
antecedent conditions that give the at
tack chance of doing harm. Some
Of the worst colds happen to those who
do not leave their house or even their
beds, and those who are most invul-
nerable are often those who are most
exposed to changes of temperature and
who by good sleep, cold bathing and
regular habits preserve the tone Of
their nervous system and circulation.
Probably many chills are contracted
at night or at the fag end Of the day,
when tired people get the equilibrium
Of their circulation disturbed by either
overheated sitting rooms or underheat-
ed bedrooms and beds. This is espe-
cially the case with elderly people. In
such cases the mischief is not always
done 1nstantaneously or in a single
night. 1t often takes place insidously,
extending over days or even weeks
