ENDS LIFE ON BOAT
Legal Adviser to Governor Of New

ACTION WAS RREMEDlTATED

Declares in Letter Found on His Body
That te Had Often Contemplated

New York. May 6.-Ernest w. Huff

of Cornell university and legal adj
wiser to Governor Hughes, shot him.
self on board the Albany boat c. w.
Morse coming down the Hudson river.
His body was found upon the arrival
of the Morse hidden behind pile Of
chairs at the extreme after part Of
the upper deck. On the body was
found an envelope addressed to the
coroner Of New York" and in this were
found two letters, one to the coroner
and the other to Huffcutt's sister, Miss
Lillian Huffcutt of this city. Later
Governor Hughes identified the body
as that of his legal adviser. The let
ter to the coroner read:
Please let the addressed have other
letter and body as soon as possible"
The other letter read as follows:
Dear Sister: l left for Ithaca to-
night, but decided to take my body
down to you in New York in order
that I might be cremated. You will
attend to that for ME. If you have
any difficulty call on my old friend,
De L., who will assist you.
81 am going down the river enjoy
ing the prospect of going out to sea.
The ashes l leave behind may be dis
posed of at present as the others pre-
fer, but eventually you will take them
to East Lawn and do not permit any
public services Of any sort anywhere.
If the immediate family want private
services in B. let 1t be soon, but have
no one else.
Deed Long Contemplated.
81 was never so glad to rest In my
life. Goodbye. l don't want you or
any Of the others to be troubled about
this. I've really postponed it often
on account Of others, but this time |
am doing it. After all, in the end, one
must have his own way Of escape"
Governor Hughes was greatly affect
ed by Mr. Huffcutt's death. The two
men had been close friends for many
years and the governor said he IS
completely at a loss to account for
Huffcutt's tragic act except that it
might have been the result of over
work.
81 knew Mr.. Huffcutt very we'll for
many years." said the governor, ''and
always regarded him as man Of bril-
liant attachments and one of the ablest
men Of his profession in the state"
Nervous strain due to long cOntin-
ued overwork resulting in insomnia is
the probable cause of Huffcutt's sui
eide. Mr.. Huffcutt was born at Kent,
Conn, in 1860 and was graduated from
Cornell university in 1884. He was
for a time private secretary to Pres
ident Andrew D. White at Cornell and
was an instructor in English at Cor
nell in 18S9-90. Later he was pro-
fessor Of law in Northwestern univer-
sity and Indiana university. In 1898
he returned to Cornell as professor
Of law and In 1903 he was made dean
Of the faculty of law at Cornell uni
versity. He became counsel to the
late Governor Higgins in 1906 and
was retained in that capacity by Gov
ernor Hughes.

Limit Number to Size of Ground.

Based upon complaints Of several people
against owners of poultry, the Kearny
Board of Health last night ordered the
ordinance committee to draw up an ordi-
nance governing the matter of chicken
keeping by people who have small plots of

of the board, has too many fowls for the
small parcel of ground which is considered
a menace to the public health. Mr.. Freer
has promised the board to reduce his
flock.
The same committee was also instructed
to prepare an ordinance regulating the
sale of butter by vendors, based upon the
ground that inferior goods are being sold.
Inspector Geisler also recommended that
every vender ave his name upon his We
hicle, so that he might be located If
wanted.
Health Officer DR.. James A. Exton made
a report of his attendance at the American
Health Convention at Atlantic City.

Rearrested, for Larceny.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hughes, matron of the
Fourth Precinct Police Station, and Police

street, was arrested last night by Police
men H~arrenberg and Laubensten while in
a saloon conducted by Walter Lashoske,
of 81 Hayes street, on complaint of the
latter, who alleged the prisoner stole his
gold watch and chain. The facts were not
clear enough, and Olosonski was allowed
to remain in the assembly room for some
time, and was closely questioned. 1t was
claimed that the prisoner had but five
cents in his clothes yesterday, and shortly
after he left the jewelry was missing.
When he returned he had a small roll Of
bills. When searched he had $14 in one
pocket, but he called in a woman friend,
who swore that she had loaned the man in
custody $40 last Monday.
Judge Herr today, in view of the himsy
evidence, paroled Olosonski for the Grand
Jury.

performing her duties in the assembly
room she found half of a pawn ticket on
the floor. Look at this she said. as she
displayed the piece OF paper. Policeman
Reichert examined it and, without voieing
his opinion, he s%crutinized the floor where
Oiosonski sat last night and he picked up
the missing part Of the pawn ticket and
compared it with that In Mrs. Hughes's
possession. 1t was part of it. The pawn
slip was from a place at Academy and Hal
sey streets and was made out for the MISS
ing jewelry. Reichert turned 1t over TO

who had been paroled about two hours be-
fore. He still insisted that he was iDno-
