Butterworth had just entered his

shut and arose to meet the husband

body. With remarkable swiftness the
ring was removed from the fallen

DIES FROM SELF
INFLICTED WOUND
0than M. HartzeIl Succumbs
Twenty Hours After Firing
Bullet Into His Head
Retired Steel .Magnate Known
as Lonely Man Among San
Rafael Acquaintance

SAN RAFAEL. Oct. 20.-Death which
Othan NJ. Hartzell, the retired steel
magnate OF Pittsburg, sought yester-
day afternoon. when he sent bullet
crashing through his brain, came at
noon today. The end occurred only
after the physical struggle for life had
lasted for 20 hours The inquest will be
held Thursday evening.
Hartzelfs room at the hotel will be
opened tomorrow morning by the coro-
ner and A. T. de Forrest of San Fran
cisco. TO whom Hartzell wrote letter
intrusting the settlement of his affairs
in San Rafael and disposition of his
body
A large number of business letters
and several personal ones arrived to-
day addressed to the suicide. One of
the missives was from his lawyer in
Pittsburg. That the deed was premedi-
tated for weeks and possibly month
was established beyond doubt There
is question, however, as to whether
HartZell gave the real reason of his
suicide when he wrote that he killed
himself because of lonesomeness. Those
who knew him best in San Rafael seem
TO think that there was a much deeper
motive for the act and that this can be
explained in Pittsburg.
According to Manager F. n, Orpin and
club steward Jack Frost of the Hotel
Rafael. Hartzell was a man of precise
habits. Walking was his chief diver
sion. Every evening he would plunge
into the darkness and prowl about until
late. He was always alone on these
walks. Outside of Orpin and Frost,
Hartzell spoke rarely to any one. He
was an entertaining conversationalist
and would many times repeat the tales
of his struggles from poverty TO
wealth. Many times he spoke of taking
a trip to Japan, but he never mentioned
a definite date for leaving. He never
mentioned his family. and his business
affairs we're only spoken of in an OFF,
hand manner.
Hartzell had travelled extensively and
was familiar with both Europe and the
orient He had been west for two
years, during which time he lived at
Colorado Springs, Coronado, Seattle,
Portland and other points along the
coast.

Not Disuuaiify

SALEM, Ore, Oct. 20.-In sustaining

land fraud convict and lawyer, to dig
barment proceedings instituted against
him eon the grounds that he was con-
victed ia the United States courts OF
conspiracy to suborn perjury. the su-
preme court of this state today stated
in effect that the offense charged is

demeanor involving moral turpitude,

OFFICIAL CONCFALS
WOMAN'S SUICIDE
Deputy Coroner Admits Sup-
pressing News of Girls Death
to Protect Hospital
Police Start Investigation and
May Lay Case Before the
Grand Jury

BERKELEY. Oct. eo.-The attempts
OF local morgue and the Roosevelt
hospital authorities to conceal the
suicide OF Miss Ethel /. Buttimer. a
former st. Helena girl, who hanged
herself, caused a police investigation
today, and now both Deputy Coroner
Charles III. Jameson and Fred l. Shin
gle, manager of the Roosevelt hospital
and the city emergency hospital, ad-
mitted they had concealed the truth
when they declared that the death of
Miss Buttimer took place Sunday after
noon. Both said today that the sui
eide was discovered before o'clock
Saturday afternoon and the body re-
moved to the morgue by z o'clock that
evening.
For As hours both jameson and Shin
gle endeavored in every way to con-
ceal the death of the young woman.
Jameson said today that he had been
asked by Single to hide all knowledge
OF the affair until the inquest tonight.
This arrangement would have been
adhered to had it not been for the fact
that the news of the suicide leaked out
from other sources and q police in
vestigation was started.
Yesterday the body was embalmed
and prepared for shipment to the fam
lily home in st. Helena. 1t was the in
in connection with the case.
Jamesons actions in other morgue
cases which he has handled here for
the county caused Marshal August
Vollmer to set his detectives at work
when he heard of Jamesons delay in
making public the fact OF Miss Butti-
mer's death. Frightened by the police
probe jameson admitted everything
and declared that he had deliberately
concealed the suicide TO protect the
Roosevelt hospital.
On more than one occasion the police
and Jameson have clashed and the dep
uty coroner of this city is accused of
Withholding evidence of greatest value
to the police in their Investigations.
The police will further take I'D the
cudgel and the matter will be laid be-
fore Coroner c. L. Tisdaie with the de-
mand that a change be made in the
deputy coroner's office in this city.
There has been considerable talk here
of placing the matter before the Ala
media county grand jury, as Jameson is
held to have violated his oath of office.

With Southern Pacific
City Fathers Will Also Discuss
Proposition for $l,l50,OOO
Bond Election

OAKLAND. Oct. 20.--A special meet
ing of the city council will be held to-
morrow night for further considera-
tion of the proposed agreement between
the city of Oakland and the Southern
Pacific company, which has been drawn
up by the board of public works and
representatives of the railroad COM
water front affairs.
At joint meeting of the board of
works and the harbor committee of the
chamber of commerce this morning an
informal discussion of the proposed
agreement with the Southern Pacific
was held. Ex-Governor George C. Par
dee, M j. Laymance and Frank w.
Bilger represented the chamber of
commerce. After a careful considera-
tion of the report it was agreed that
the wording of the clause in the re-
port referring to the proposed removal
OF long wharf was ambiguous, and
City Attorney McElroy and the other
members of the board agreed that it
should be revised. The chamber of
commerce committee has given its Of
fetal approval to the proposed agree
ment.
In conjunction with the report of the
board of works on the settlement of
harbor disputes, the recommendation of
the board that a bond election of ST.
10000 be authorized, will also come
up for consideration at the meeting of
the council.
The discussion of these two issues
will probably monopolize the attention
of the council throughout the entire
