himself yesterday by jumping down
the elevator shaft from the seventh

Mcclure admitted that he had
jumped down the shaft with suicidal
intent. He was taken to the Harrison

so strangely that his hands and feet
were strapped to a chair to prevent
him from trying again to end his life

POLICE CHIEF ADVISES

DURING REGATTA WEEK THE

GUARD AGAINST THEFTS

II you are a bondholder and ac-
customed to keep Standard Oil and
other securities in the house. or if
YOU are housewife and are in the
habit OF leaving the silver spoons and
other valuable things lying around
somewhat carelessly, it may well to
remember that during the regatta
week there will be many strangers in
the city. Already many are here. 1t
probably will be the part of wisdom
to see that things are placed in safe
place, and especially that doors and
windows are not carelessly left open
while everyone is downtown,

STREET WORK TWIST
ING WATER PIPES
BIG CUT ON WEST CONNER
cIAL CAUSES SLIGHT
TROUBLE.

The work OF the contractor in i'm
proving West Commercial street ha,
thus far caused very little trouble OF
damage to the homes that lie in tht
lower ground directly to the north
\ Yesterday, however, il is understood
the water pipes in the home OF Mrs, J
X. Smith at l23 First street were
badly twisted apparently by the great
mass Of earth used in the ill directly
to the south of the house.
The most interesting question that
has arisen in connection with the i'm.
provements on West Commercial
street relates TO the proposed abut-
ment at the rear OF the property be-
longing to Postmaster John Hahn
According to statements made at the
city hall, when the plans and speci6-
cations of this Improvement were for
mulated ii was not contemplated that
any bulkhead would be required at
the Hahn property, inasmuch as it
seemed TO have been the impression
that Mr., Hahn would good naturedly
permit sufficient filling in his yard to
act as a natural abutment for the
graded street, provided and we're
needed, But it appears that Mr..
Hahn's property is cultivated clear to
the street line; flowers and berry
bushes grow there, and in addition to
this, the contemplated filling in his
back yard clearly would hardly add to
the value nor the sightliness OF his
place. Therefore he objects to the
filling, it is understood, and the neces-
sity of a bulkhead arises.
For clear understanding OF the
situation it must be promised that
to the west of Mr..
Hahn's property bulkheads were pro-
vided for, and naturally are to be paid
for by the general, assessment dis
trict These bulkheads to the west
were constructed. especially in front
OF the Mrs. Trullinger property. But
SO vast was the weight cfshing
against the Trullinger abutment that
it has begun to bend and give, and
one Of the poles is already cracked
One might easily guess that this
bulkhead, which does not wear an ap-
pearance of great strength, is likely
to give away and if it does the house
would probably be given bad shak
jag up and would be half buried. 1t
is said that the contractor, Mr.. Foote,
has purchased the Trullinger house
very recently and intends to fill in the
lot and raise the house to grade,
which apparently is an excellent
means of avoiding the possible dan
ger from -hc bulging bulkhead.
The bulkhead at Mr.. Hahn's prop
erty would not necessarily be very
high. The only question is, whetheAI
he should pay for it, or should it be
paid for by others within the improv-
ed district; or, should he be COM
PEELED to pay for even a part Of it
when it may be argued that the i'm
provement is OF no benefit to his
Meantime the question of sliding
property in this locality may arise
later, especially as to homesteads to
the south which lie on the hillside
and the cutting down OF the street to
grade simply has tendency to cut
away the support of the properties
in question.
