ILL HEALTH CAUSE
Friends Say Ainsworth Suffered
From Chronic Aff1ictiou

Deep sorrow was expressed here and
in Sausalito last night when news of
the death of Captain Daniel J. Aims
worth of the revenue cutter Rush was
received. Ainsworth's long service in
Pacific waters had brought him fire.
quently to this city, and his associates
in the service had learned to respect
him highly for his good qualities as
an officer and man.
Brother officers in the revenue serv-
ice ascribe his suicide to despondency
over i'll health Captain Ainsworth
was a sufferer from a complication of
stomach trouble and catarrh and while
he was reticent about discussing his
affiiction it was evident to his associ-
ates that it troubled him greatly.
For 25 years Captain Ainsworth had
been in the revenue cutter service. For
Is years of that time he was attached
TO the cutter Bear, stationed for the
most part at St. George island and
other points in the far north. Part of
the time Ainsworth was detached from
sea duty and was alone on shore in the
solitudes of the north. There he ac-
quired the habit of silence, and after
that experience seemed to hold himself
aioof from his fellows.
Captain Berthals of the revenue cut
ter Bear, now at Sausalito, spoke high
~ of Ainsworth last evening. He said
that Ainsworth was one of the best
men in tf1e service highly educated and
a widely read man.
Captain Berthals said he did not see
how Ainsworth could have been inter-
ested in the court martial mentioned in
the dispatches unless he had preferred
charges against subordinate.
Ainsworth came of good family. He
has a brother living in Portsmouth, n.
IL. and sister who is married to an
officer in the navy.

lying on the floor with a bullet hole
in his head. The body was lying in
front of mirror. and revolver lay
where it apparently had fallen from
the hand that had pulled the trigger
No one aboard the vessel will VEN
the suicide. other than to say that
within the past few days Captain Aims
worth had been worried and had acted
strangely. A court martial is in prog
ress involving the conduct of some of
the officers aboard the vessel, but Lieu
tenant Buhner, who is temporarily in
command since Ainsworth's death, says
that no charge against the captain had
been contemplated so far as he knew.
a few days ago Ainsworth had ap-
piled for a leave of absence to visit
his sick mother in Portsmouth. n. H..
but telegram received Saturday night
denied him this.
Captain Ainsworth was As years old
and unmarried Born in Boston he en-
tered the revenue cutter service in
1888 and was assigned to his first work
in 1885 as third lieutenant OF the
teen years ago he served several
months as governor of Pribilof islands.

he was appointed December 2s. 1905.

the message being from the battle
ship Maine Of Evans feet. At 3
o'clock yesterday morning the oper-
stor at the wireless station at Mare

he was in direct communication with
the Maine Though 1900 miles away
the message was clear. Mare island
acknowledged receipt, but further COM
munication was cut on on account of
other stations intercepting the flash
and interfsring with the atmospheric

Mare island established a record in
