Bullet IN Head
KILLS HUTCH|NS
Second Vice President Of Fort Worth National Bank
Takes Own Life---Bank Affairs in
Good Order
tho bank corroborate his statements.
by Major Van Zandt.

tho bank corroborate his statements
by Major Van Zandt.
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding, Major X. NJ. Van
Zandt. president of the bank, issued
the following official statement at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon after
brief meeting OF tho directors:
"No man Is deserving Of greater
praise for purity Of life and integrity
OF conduct than Mr.. Hutchins. For
moro than thirty years / have been
intimately associated with him, ana
never during that time did he, to
my knowledge, offend the strictest
confines of propriety and morality.
He was an exemplary character, and
manifested all OF the Christian vir-
tues in his contact with men,
"The officers OF the bank can at
tribute his unfortunate death TO
nothing else than a mental and ply
steal impairment, doubtless the re-
suit Of very close confinement to his
duties. His recent acts as observed
by his family and those associated
with him, and communications left
by him, confirm this belief.
I'm his message he gave no spe-
ciflc reason for his act, but from
them 1t could be discerned that he
had brooded over conception that
one should devote his entire life and
energy 10 the cause OF Christianity.
His accounts with the bank and
elsewhere were, as they had always
been, correct in every detail.
Realizing that his physical condi-
ton was such as needed a rest to
avoid a general breakdown, arrange
ments had been made for him to take
n vacation OF n month. beginning
with the close OF business Saturday
night 1t was great shock to his
associates, therefore. when his death
became known Sunday morning"

FIRES BULLET
THROUGH HEART
CFrom Tuesday, Dally)

lfIVfn i uteudS 3 IdllN'J
Fort Worth, Fob. lt.-Eric C.
Gambrel, son of Rev. Or, ]. p, Gam
'brell president Of the Baptist board
OF missions of Texas, and himself a
brilliant attorney, shot himself
through the heart about o'clock
Sunday night. lie came here yes
'terday morning from Ardmore,
Okla, where he had recently opened
a law office, and registered at the
Worth hotel. During the day he tel
ephoned his friend, Mr.. Hopkins Of
Dallas, to come to Fort Worth. Mr.,
Hopkins came and had an earnest
conference with Mr.. Gambrell, at
which Mr.. Gambrell discussed his az
fairs freely, and declared his inten-
tion to end II all. He had neglected
his practice, which had dwindled to
nothing al Dallas, and he was about
making a new start In life at Ard
more, and Mr.. Hopkins called atten-
ton to his brilliant attainments, to
his eminent ability as an advocate
and a lawyer, declaring that success
or failure rested with himself. When
Mr.. Hopkins left Fort Worth at 2
O'Clock to return to Dallas, Gam
brell had promised him to return to
Ardmore last night and seriously
pick up the thread OF his affairs once
more. Later in the afternoon he
called at the Record office and chat
ted pleasantly with the men in the
office with whom he had recently
been associated and with whom he
was popular. With Mr.. McCaleb he
discussed the Hutchins tragedy, de-
claring a great sympathy for those
who find LIES burdens pressing
them harder than their strength
could resist.
Talked OF Suicide.
81 have great sympathy with the
man who breaks when he can bend
no farther" he said to Mr. McCaleb,
but as he had often expressed such
sentiment it gave no inkling of the
determination which he was harbor-
ing. He declined an invitation to
dinner, refused to become Mr.. Nc
Caleb's guest while in Fort Worth
and left the Record office after a
visit of an hour a bit distralt an
seemingly depressed, but with "A cor
dial, Goodbye, old fellow; I'll see
you tonight-maybe."

VOTE FOR
SCHOOL BONDS
Property Owners Authorize
$4,000 For New School
Building in Amarillo
(From Tuesdays Daily.)
For the bonds 500.
Against the bonds 101.

For the bonds 500.
Against the bonds 1O1.
BY a vote OF a little more than
three to one yesterday the property
owners OF the Amarillo Independent
School District decided to furnish
with a generous hand the additional
buildings that the growing needs of
the city have made necessary. This
decision authorizes the school board
to issue $4,000 in bonds and to use
the proceeds in erecting new build
ings.
Buy Polk Street Building.
About S1S,500 Of the cash from
the new bonds will go to the city of
amarillo in payment for the Polk
street school building which will then
become the property of the school
district Before the enactment Of the
present Independent school district
law. the only way that school build
ings could DO obtained outside of
large cities was by private sdbscrip-
ton, by direct investment of the
taxes, or as Amarillo did, by selling
bonds OF the city of Amarillo for the
purpose OF erecting city hall and
then using the money to erect
school building. The Polk street
building was secured by this means
shortly after the town was incor-
porated and the school district has
paid a nominal rental Of 81 year
to the city for the use of the build
ing Now that the school district is
enabled to carry.its own burdens the
city will be paid for the building and
the money can be used by the city
for strictly municipal improvements.
Plan -Four More Buildings.
AS the school board stated in the
address given out last week, it Is
planning to increase the size Of the
Polk street building and to build
new buildings on the north, east
and west sides. Definite plans for
this work have not been made but
superintendent Foster will present a
report at an early date indicating an
expenditure that will best meet the
actual needs Of the district AS the
district will be obliged to purchase
lots for the buildings on the west and
east sides 1t can easily be seen that
every dollar OF the $4,000 will be
in demand.
The Increased accommodations
that the new bonds will make pos
'sible will give the Amarillo district
school property worth much over
100000 and which in extent and
quality will rank among the best in
the state.

Palestine Women Are Finding Re-

1t does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity; they
must keep up" must attend to duties
in spite of constantly aching backs,
or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing
down pains; they must stoop over,
when to stoop means torture. They
must walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches from
kidney ills. Kidney causes more suf-
fering than any other organ of the
body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read of
a remedy for kidneys only that helps
and cures the kidneys and is endorsed
by people you know.
