CAPTAIN OF
REVENUE BOAT
KILLS HIMSELF
BODY OF OFFICER FOUND IN
BATHROOM
known to Friends and Asso-
ciates, Takes His Own
Life

BY Associated Press.
SEATTLE, March S-For some reas-
on, so far unexplained. Captain Daniel
]. Ainsworth, commander of the reve-
nue. cutter Rush, committed suicide at
an early hour this morning.
The act was committe in the bath
room of the vessel. The room door
was locked and to gain entrance First
Liuetenant A. Fl. Bunner was forced to
force the window. He found the body
lying on the floor with bullet hole in
his head. The corpse was lying in
front of mirror and a revolver lay
where it had apparently fallen from
the hand that had pulle dthe trigger.
No one had heard the shot. No one
aboard the vessel will venture an opin :
ion as to what impelled the suicide,
other than to say that within the past
few days the captain had been worried
and had acted strangely.
A courtmartial was in progress in
volving the conduct of some of the off,
GERS aboard the vessel, but Lieutenant
Buhner, temporarily in command of the
vessel since Ainsworth's death, says
they did not involve the captain and
that no charge against him was con-
templated so far ais he knew.
A few weeks ago Captain Ainsworth
had applied for a leave of absence to
visit his sick mother at Porthmouth.
N. H., but a telegram received only
Saturday night denied him this.
Captain Ainsworth was AZ years old,
unmarried. Born in Boston, he entered
the revenue cutter service in 1885, and
was assigned to his first work in 1886
as third lieutenant on the cutter Dex-
ter at Newport, r. I. Fourteen years
ago he served several months as COVER
nor of Pribilof islands. The command
of the Rush, to which he was appointed
December 26, 1906 was his first as
signment as captain.
