INTENT UPON SUICIDE
BEGS TO BUY POISON
San Francisco Contractor Says He
Has Been Starving and Makes
Desperate Attempt on Ar
irving at Hospital

While begging for money with which
to procure poison to end his life, Jesse
Parsons, a stair building contractor
who came to Los Angeles six weeks
ago from San Francisco. was arrested
by the police at Second and Main
streets. He WAS taken to the police
station and later to the receiving hos
pital, where he is booked for medical
treatment
Despondent because of his inability
to secure employment Parsons wished
to buy poison to end his life. While
in the receiving hospital he attempted
to grab a revolver from an officer and
commit suicide.
Parsons stated that he was almost
starving and had been existing on free
lunches for more than week. He has
a family, consisting of a wife and two
children, living at San Francisco, and
because of his failure to get work -
support them was in despair.
He was given a meal and then put 90
bed in the hospital ward. He says
he is the uncle of Charles Parsons, who
conducts a drug store at Pasadena
and a brother of A. II. Parsons, who
lives in Oakland.

Although the widowed mother of

who was run over and killed by a
Southern Pacific train near Dolgeville
has not sufficient funds with which to
defray funeral expenses, the body will
not be inferred in the Potters field.
Sympathetic citizens of Alhambra,
where the body lies in an undertaking
establishment, are raising a purse to
provide a suitable funeral and burial.
Mrs Dennison of Alhambra started
the subscription list and the people of
that city are said to be responding
literally. An effort will be made to
secure enough money, so that there
will be sum to present to the mother,
who is in straitened circumstances. A

HUMAN PLAGUE

NO CASE oF'INFECTED PER-
SONS is FOUND
OFFICIALS BELIEVE ERADICATION
is CERTAIN
Thousands of Rats Trapped and Ex-
amined 5acteriologicaIly Before
Outbreak of Scourge Is
Traced to Rodents

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The plague
situation on the Pacific coast is said to
have greatly improved within the last
few months, and the officials, who have
been most active in the work of its
suppression, are encouraged to believe
with continued vigilance its complete
eradication is certain.
DR.. Walter Wyman, surgeon general
of the public health and marine hos
pital service, in a report to the secre-
tary of the treasury concerning human
plague and plague-infected rats in San
Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Contra
Costa county and Los Angeles, and in
Seattle, Wash, covering the period by
months from May, 1907, to October 81,
1908, show since this last named date
no case of human plague or of plague
infected rats has been detected on the
Pacific coast.
The report shows in May 1907, there
was one case of human plague in San
Francisco, and this resulted fatally. In
June and July there were none, but In
August there were eleven cases, of
which six resulted fatally.
In September the number of cases
had increased to Al, with 81 deaths.
In October there were 80 cases and "a
deaths, and in November the cases had
increased to SO, with IL deaths.
Trap Thousands of Rats
For many months the physicians in
charge of the work had trapped weekly
from 1000 to 5000 rats, which were ex-
amined bacteriologically with reference
to plague infection, is many were
found dead: but it was not until No
vember, 1907, their efforts to trace the
plague outbreak to rats were entirely
successful.
During that month thirty-one plague
infected rats were captured.
In December there were thirty-slX
human cases and eight deaths, and
forty-three infected rats were trapped
or found dead. During January 1908,
siXty-four plague rats were found, but
the number of human cases had fallen
to one
In February there was only one hui
man case, but the number of Infection
bearing rats secured had increased to
Iii; but since that month not a single
human case has appeared at any OF
the coast points under observation, and
the number of infected rats secured has
gradually fallen off, with fifty-eight in
March, twenty-four in April, thirty
two in May, three in June, two in July.
one in August, none in September and
two in October.
No Infected Rodent Found
Since then not single infected rat
has been taken.
AS to Oakland, the report shows dur
ing the last four months in 1907 there
were twelve human cases and seven
deaths, but no cases have developed
since then During the same period
however, 125 infected rats were found
! All of these, with the exception of one
