Eighteenth avenue, and who is the COM
plainant in suit now pending before

trouble.
Helbing, who is SO years old, went
to Aitken's Office in the Monadnock
building for the purpose of signing a
deposition. Aitken says that Helbing
entered his private office while he was
out and rummaged through some pri-
vate papers which were lying on the
desk. Aitken further says that when
he returned Helbing used offensive Ian
guage.
According to Helbing, there was a
young man in an adjoining room when
he entered the Office who arose and
asked Helbing what he wanted. Hell
bing, according TO his story, said that
he had come to sign the deposition and
seeing that document lying on the
table, proceeded to examine it. Hell
bing admits that when Aitken returned
there was some discussion over the dep
oSltlon, during Which Helbing says he
made uncomplimentary references to
the elder Aitken.
At this juncture. HeIbing says Frank
Aitken, the elder Aitken. who had come
in in the meanwhile. and an office en-
ploye, jumped on him and threw him
into the hallway. This Frank Aitken
denies

sioqs since the suit started almost two
years ago to settle matter out of court.
but that her attorneys induced her to
continue.
Frank Aitken denies this and says
that on the contrary Helbing has al
ways blocked attempts to settle out of

Hazel Hall. a blond haired girl IS
years old. living at 2715 Golden Gate
avenue. committed suicide at the ocean
beach yesterday afternoon by drinking
carbolic acid. The act was witnessed
by Louis Jacobson, a guard of the
Golden Gate life saving station. who
was patrolling the beach about half Il
mile north of the station.
Jacobson observed the girl gazing
over the water as if in deep medita-
ton Instinctively the life guard knew
that all was not right with her. Quick
ening his steps, Jacobson was about to
call to her when she raised her hand
to her lips and fell over into the warm,
dry sand.
On reaching her he saw at a glance
what had happened. At her side was
an empty bottle labeled 'carbolic acid

meantime paSSer by had been told
to telephone to the Park emergency
hospital. Picking the girl up in his
arms, Jacobson carried her TO the
boulevard, where the automobile was

park and to the hospital, but died on
the operating table q few minutes
after reaching the infirmary.
At the girls home Mrs. Hall refused
to make any statement. She denied
having the note which was addressed
TO her and which the morgue officials
had delivered to her.
1t was ascertained from neighbors
that Hazel Hall had kept company until
recently with John Torey, who lived at
the Hall home, and Hazel had told her
girl friends that they were engaged.
Some weeks ago Torey left the city, it
being understood by the neighbors that
he had gone to New York. Until re-

ordered the men to undermine the en-
bankment and was welding a pick

cut into the embankment about eight
feet when the overhagning mass of
earth, loosened and weakened by the
recent rains, crumbled in Palazzotti.
Gotta and Rattara jumped for their
lives as the first handfuls of dust and
clay fell about their ears but Musanto
delayed an instant and the instant cost
him his life. The heavy masses of
clay smashed him down, killing him on
the spot.

broken in two, lay by him. The body
was taken to the morgue. Musanto
was so years of age and lived at 311

On Standing Alone


A child reaches definite epoch OF

others. And in exactly the same way
does man reach a definite stage of

creeds OF others and to think out the
thoughts OF himself. A creed is era
die in which an infantile mind is
rocked to sleep. When person
