ditionally made.
If YOU want to abolish the CITY

CLUbWOMAN ESSAYS
SUICIDE WITH GAS
Mrs. William Westerdahl Dis
covered Alone in Her Home
in Unconscious State
Threat That She Would End
Her Life Led to Search
by Son

ALAMEDA, Nov. 11.-Mrs William
Westerdahl, a prominent member of
the Adelphian club and of the cpngre-
cation of the First Presbyterian church.
was found in an unconscious condition
from gas asphyxiation last night in
room in her house, 1345 Broadway. The
discovery was made by her son, Ches-
ter Westerdahl who missed his mother
from his own home at 2215 Central
avenue where she had been stopping
and who suspected that she might have
gone to the residence at 1345 Broadway
to do away with herself, as she had
been respondent and threatened to take
her life.
Westerdahl went to his mothers
place and upon entering the house de-
tected an odor of gas. Going to his
mothers room he found the door locked.
He summoned DR.. Il. p. Tisdale. the
family physician, and S. II. Davis and
the door was broken open. Mss. Wes
terdahl was lying on a bed uncon-
scious and gas was escaping from a
rubber tube which she had attached to
a jet and placed in her mouth
Restoratives were administered, but
the patient remained close to death all
night and her condition this evening
was considered extremely critical.
Until last Saturday Mrs. Westerdahl
was patient at the Harrison SANTA
rum, where she was treated for ner-
vous ailment She is said to have re-
marked a few days ago to Mrs. George
Waggoner, neighbor, that if the
world did not look brighter for her in
a short time she would commit suicide.
Mrs. Westerdahl also worried, her
friends say, over the erection of a two
story dwelling nine feet wide on a strip
of land adjoining her residence on
Broadway. The freak house was built
by Charles Trolling and Mrs. Wester-
dahl said repeatedly that the structure
shut out sun and light from her house
and caused tenants to leave her prop
erty. Mrs. Westerdahl had long served
as head decorator for the Adelphian
club.

also a lover of dancing. The mother

Sive Ceremonies

PARIS, Nov. 11.-Victorien Sardou,

man.
Charles Frohman, speaking on be-
half of the American stage, attested
the grief in the United States, where, he
said. Sardou's plays had touched and
captured all hearts and were almost as
well known as those of Shakespeare.
Sarah Bernhardt sent the following
telegram:
