- HICAGO, Aug. 6.-The investiga-
ton by special Federal Grand
Jury Of the charges Of Illegal
rebates by Chicago railroads TO
the Standard Oil Company that was to
have begun here today, was postponed
at the last minute until tomorrow be-
cause the venire developed a shortage.

KEY ROUTE CREWS
QUIT WORK.
Eighteen Men on Night
Shift Walk Out When
Asked to Move Freight

OAKLAND, Aug. 6.-Refusing to
handle electrical supplies which were
being shipped from this city to San
Francisco to accommodate the General
Electric Company by the San Fran
cisco, Oakland and San Jose Railroad
on the Key Route ferry, the crews of
three of the ferry-boats, eighteen deck
hands in all, this morning quit with
out warning. The walkout, however,
did not prevent regular service on the
system today for the places of the men
were filled.
1t has been the practice of the COM
pany to handle no freight on the Key
Route ferry, but since the establish
ment Of the warehouses of the General
Electric Company at Emeryville this
rule has been suspended to accommo-
date that company, which has been
shipping electrical supplies to San
Francisco This freight has all been
shipped after the regular runs of the
boats were ended for the night.
Early this morning a quantity of
freight was at the Emeryville pier
awaiting transportation to San Fran
cisco, but when the deckhands were
ordered to load 1t on the boat they re-
fused to do so and walked out. The
crews of the two other boats followed
suit and the freight was not sent to
San Francisco.
AS it was the night crews of the
boats who walked out, their action did
not interfere with the running of the
boats today and before it was time for
the day crews to lay off this evening g
the places of all the men who quit
last night had been filled.

SHOPPERS WITNESS
WOMAN s DEATH.
Mrs. Jennie Miller Ends
Her Life In Store by
Drinking Deadly Acid
LEAVES SAD NOTE

Mrs. Jennie Miller of 522 Preeita
avenue committed suicide yesterday
morning by drinking carbelie acid In
Lutge's carpet store at Nineteenth and
castro streets She had apparently
been shopping, as she carried several
parcels in her arms when she came into
the store. As soon as she entered the
door she placed the parcels on the floor
and lifted small bottle of carbolic
ACID to her lips. She had swallowed
more than half the contents of the
bottle before a clerk who had stepped
forward to wait on her could knock
it from her hand.
The unfortunate woman fell to the
floor in eonvulsfons. She was hurried
to the Central Emergency Hospital,
where she died on the operating table.
In her pocket a postal card which she
mad written to her husband. Fred K,
Miller, was found. It read:
Dear Fred: l am tired Of living. I
have ended my life. never to be again.
You are my husband. / am your wife.
Mrs. Jennie Miller, 522 Precita ave-
nue."
The body was taken to the Morgue.
where an inquest will be held The
woman was about 40 years of age and
no motive for the rash act can be as
cribed by her husband.
The neighbors of the Millers say that
the couple appeared happy, but that
Mrs. Miller was sickly. At the Morgue
Miller ascrfbed the poor health Of his
wife as the only reason for her suicide.

The strange.t Oath.


A traveller who has just finished a
two years trip around the world was
asked what was the most curious thing
that had come under his observation.
After considering for few moments
he surprised his hearers by saying that
perhaps the judicial oath in the Isle Of
Man was about as odd as anything else.
The oath runs: by this book and the
holy contents thereof and by the won
derful works that God hath miracu-
Iously wrought in heaven above and in
the earth beneath in six days and
seven nights, I do swear that I will,
without respect of favor or friendship.

McENERNEY,S DEFENSE.
Mr. MeEnerney made the closing
speech, and in the course of his argu-
ment said that by reason of the de-
struction of records in the Recorder s
office 1t is impossible to show record
title in any property owned in San
Francisco, and that therefore 1t was
necessary for some judicial proceeding
to be devised whereby judgment could
be obtained establishing ones title to
property The we'll being of every COM
munity requires that the. title to real

DDS for determining any unsettled ques-
tions concerning 1t, he said.
The statute is not obnoxious to any
constitutional provision, he said. The
character of notice to be given in pro-
ceedings of this kind is a matter for
legislative determination.
The proceeding provided for by the
law is essentially proceeding IN rem,

ceeding jurisdiction OF the court at
