Javowsly and Boarders Locked Up,
but Court Lets All Go
Later.

Mrs. Anastatia Javowsky. 20 years
old, of 1870 Broome street. committed
suicide Saturday night by taking car
bolic acid. The cause that led to the
woman's act, was due to some differ
ence between her and her husband over
some money that she received from
several boarders.
After the woman took the poison the
Fourth Precinct police were notified,
and the woman was taken to the City
Hospital. where she died a few min
utes after she was placed in the re-
ceiving room.
The woman's husband and several
of the boarders were locked up until
yesterday morning. when Captain
Vogel, County Physician Elliott and
Detective Slutsky. of Prosecutor
Young's office, made a thorough inves-
tigation of the trouble that led to the
woman taking the poison, but they
could not find anything on which to
hold any one criminally responsible.
All of the prisoners were paroled until
this morning, when they were dis
charged by Judge Herr.

Disclaims Having Had Any
IntimatiOn Of Legal OppO-

today when asked IL current rumors of
pending suits to that effect were true.
"Of course, we don't know what the

added I'VE only know that there is
but 2 per cent. of the stock outstand-
ing and that a good portion of this is
represented by proxies which have
been sent In to us since the resolution
of the board of directors was an
nounced"
As the EVENING STAR told before the
dividend declaration, some Of the outstand-
ing stock In the United Electric Company
is held by men politically and personally
unfriendly to President Thomns N Nc
Carter, but the few shares SO held make
but small fraction of / per cent. out of

WOMAN.SI JICIDE
ONCE LIVED
HERE
Mrs. Ida Woods, Adopted
Daughter Of One-time
Local Halter, Ends Life.

The local authorities have been asked
to look up the relatives or close friends
in this city of Mrs. Ida B. Woods, who
committed suicide in her apartment in
Harlem several days ago, but as yet
have been unable to find anyone who
might assist them in any way.
1t has not been learned why Mrs.
Woods ended her life.
According to information gathered by
an EVENING STAR reporter, Mrs.
Woods WAS the adopted daughter OF
Charles Aston, for many years we'll
known hat manufacturer on Liberty
street. He lived at 151 Orchard street,
in the house now occupied by DR.. Will
lam S. Disbrow. Mr.. Alston died some
ten years ago, and DIR. Disbrow bought
the property from the estate. Mrs.
Alston died some years prior to that
time. Mrs. Woods was the only heir,
with the exception of a brother of
Mr.. Alston, but all trace of him has
been lost so far as could be learned.
Mrs. Woods had one child, Alston
Woods, and it was learned that her
marriage to Marshall Woods was an
unhappy one, suit in chancery grow
ing out of the birth of the child. Mr..
Woods disappeared some years ago.
not long after the death of Mrs.
Woods's foster father, and has not
been heard from since.
Mrs. Woods left this city and for
some years kept in touch with her rela-
tives and friends in this city, but for
the past six years nothing had been
heard from either her or her son. She
was about 40 or as years old. Her son,
II living, is about 81 years old.

5 YEARS FOR MAYOR
CROWDS CHEER SENTENCE
ON EUGENE E. SCHMITZ.
Remarkable Scene in Court When Judge
Names Punishment for San Fran
cisco's Executive.

SAN FRANCISCO, July s-Mayor
Eugene e. Schmitz, convicted of extor-
ton was today sentenced to five years
in the San Quentin Penitentiary. He
was convicted of extorting s1175 from
French restaurant keepers of San
Francisco.
AS the last words of the sentence fell
from the judges lips the great crowd
that had stood throughout the drama
tic scene sent up a thunderous cheer.
Good for you shouted a man In the
back of the room. His ejaculation was
echoed and reechoed by one after an
other of the spectators. Several threw
their hats into the air; others
scrambled upon chairs to look over the
shoulders of the crowd. The greatest
confusion prevailed
Attorney Farall. of the defense, raising
his voice above the din, called out to Judge
Dunno:
"Your honor, this cheering is a very un-
seemly occurrence
'.NVell.p retorted Judge Dunno with spirit.
'1f we had sheriff worthy Of the name
It would have been stopped instantly
Sheriff Thomas O'NeIll was standing in
side the rail- He turned TO the court and
protested. Nobody could have stopped
that" he declared.
The sentencing OF the convicted Mayor
was In one respect without parallel in
the criminal annals of San Francisco.
Half dozen times Judge Dunno was in
terrupted by Schmitz, who protested in
strong words against the delivery of
lecture" instead of the pronouncement OF
Judgment. He accused the Court OF un-
necessarily humiliating him and giving OPP
portunity for further humiliation by the
reporting of his remarks in the press.
Once, replying to the prisoner, Judge
Dunno said:
such brazen effrontery is probably no
more than should be expected, and 1t Is
the duty of the Cour to bear II with pa
tience."
Al another time Attorney Metson. Of the
defense, interposed vigorous objection In
support OF his client ito the courts lee
ture" Judge Dunne's reply was that MI
Metson instead of interrupting the proceed
iugs ought to be given a day in court to
answer the charge that he had attempted
to tamper with the jury which convicted
Schmitz!
Metson restraining himself calmly an
swered I'm the same spirit. saying that he
was ready to answer any charge that was
made against him.
Judge Dunno warned Metson that another
interruption would provoke Jail sentence

UNCLE SAM TO
HELP BUILD
SHIP CANAL
Possibility Of Federal Aid
Considered by Army Engi-
neer and COm'r Book.

To discuss the subject of ship canal
between Newark and New York Bay,
a conference was held today between
Board of Works Commissioner Frank
j. Book and Engineer Wright, of the
engineering corps of the United States
Army.
Mr.. Wright came here to inquire as
to the advantages of a deep waterway
between this city and the seaboard, and
especially wanted to know what had
been done in the matter of reclaiming
the meadows.
Mr.. Book expressed the opinion that
federal aid should be as readily forth
coming in the matter of redeeming un-
inhabited land In this State as in the
reclamation of the desert lands of the
West He outlined the advantages both
to New York and Newark that the re-
clamation of the meadows and the in
creasing of wharfage facilities would
mean.
Mr.. Wright concluded the interview
with a promise of further conference
on the subject in the near future.

Carl SchOnit Charged With
Taking Germania Schuetz-

CASE TO GRAND JURY
Amount Involved Drawn From
Bank on Check..NationaI
Body Ordered Treasurer
to Prefer Charge..Ac.
cused Gives Security.

Carl Schonit, a trustee of the United
biggest German organizations in the
city, is held in $500 bail for the Grand
Jury on the charge of having srhezzled
$500 of the organizations money.
He was arraigned in the Fourth Pre-
cinct Court this morning, and the COM
plant was made by Adam Schrimpf.
of 81 Sixteenth avenue, who is the
treasurer of the Schuetzenbund.
Before accepting the complaint Judge
Herr made thorough investigation of
tie matter and he found that Schonit
was willing 10 make good the 5000.
Schrimpf was not, and he claimed that
he had been instructed by the national
officers of the organization to make the
complaint,
1t appears that several months ago
5000 of the organizations funds were
with avn from a bank, and for some
tifiiS nobody appeared to know Tho
got the money or where 1t went to.
Mr.. Schonit, as one of the trustees,
demanded that investigation be made.
He notified the national officers of the
organization, and they made another
investigation. They entirely exonerated
the treasurer and then instructed him
to make complaint against Schonit.
Schonit was very much disconnected
over the turn that matters took today,
but Mr.. schrimpf said he had no al
tentative but to make the complaint.
Ech5nit offered $1,000 worth of real esl
tate As security, which was accepted.

NEW YORK, July s.-Admirai Dewey,
who is sojourning for the summer at
Richfield Springs. N. Y. is quoted to-
day as saying in regard to the transfer
of the battleship fleet to the Pacific:
1T is a pity we have not ships enough

the interests of peace it is best at this
time that our fleet should be in the

This cruise or transfer or whatever
you like to call 1t Is mission of peace.
I do not think 1t likely that this coun-
try will become seriously involved with
any power. But If trouble should come
by any chance 1t is well to be fully
prepared for it.

of police hears of riot, does he With
