RESPONDENT WOMAN
TRIES TO END LIFE
Wife of Well Known Physician and
Business Man Attempts to Com
nit Suiclde-Husband
Finds Body

Worry about her husbands business
affairs and fearing they were in fiancial
difficulties from which they could not
recover are given by the police as the
cause for the desperate attempt at sui
eide made by Mrs. G. p. v. Watson,
wife of a we'll known physician and
business man, at the family home, 1852
West Pico street, late Thursday night.
The woman is said to have drank a
quantity of chloroform, and fearing this
would not cause her death turned on
the gas in her room.
Every effort was made to keep the
facts quiet, and no account of the
woman's attempt to end her life was
received by the police until yesterday.
According to the report the attempt
was made during the absence of DR..
Watson. He returned sooner than was
expected and his attention was at
tracted by the escaping gas. He then
broke into his wife's room, where he
found her unconscious body.
DR.. Watson Immediately summoned
Drs Wellborn and Rooney, who sue
ceeded In reviving the woman.
Mrs. Watson has been in i'll health for
several years past and has been ex-
tremely nervous. 1t is said tales of her
husbands business ventures, some of
which have proved unfortunate, as re-
lated to her by one of the neighbors,
were the immediate cause of the at
tempted suicide. Stories of DR.. Wat
sons business relations with the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers association and
of a certain real estate deal were dwelt
upon by the neighbors until Mrs. Wat
son brooded over them. This, added to
her overweight nervous condition,
proved too much for her.

The recital given yesterday afternoon
before the Ebell by Miss Blanche Ruby.
assisted by Miss Lillian Smith and Miss
Elizabeth Jordan, was enthusiastically
received by large and representative
audience.
The vocal numbers rendered by Miss
Ruby were in French, and her pure ac-
cent attested that her study of that
language has been perfected in Paris.
She sang with such charming express
sion that even those listeners who were
not familiar with the foreign words
caught the motif of the melody and
were held by it's spell. The singer was
accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Jordan.
Miss Smith played two piano solos
and so delighted her hearers that she
was recalled again and again, her en-
cores being brief but beautifully rem
dered. The following is the afternoons
program:

who was killed by another machine.

club wished to reach, for which pur-
pose all it's directors has asked COM

For practical wear the shirt waist
frock still distances all competitors, no
other style of gown being quite so COM
Portable, so easy of adjustment or so
smart In appearance. The shirt waist
shown is an entirely new development
Of the idea popularized in "Peter Pan"
It is made quite without adornment ex-
cept that supplied in the natty turn
down collar, cuffs and pocket but its
style is beyond question. The collar
may be omitted If desired and any pre-
ferred style substituted for it, while
the sleeves may be made in either full
or shorter length. The skirt Is a pop
ular five-gored model, In sweep or
round length, and fits snugly around
the hips, while an inverted pleat pro-
vides the necessary fullness at the back
and assists the flare at the foot. The
trimming band at the lower edge
constitutes the only trimming, and this
may be omitted at pleasure. Serge,
cheviot or any of the new cloths are
suitable for making the skirt, while
taffeta, madras or linen may be chosen
for the waist The medium size re-
quires S-S yards S6 inches wide for the
waist and 1-S yards "a inches wide
for the skirt in round length, this guam
tity including the trimming band.
Two patterns: 6109-Seven sizes, 80
to A inches bust measure; 6099-eight
sizes, % to SO inches waist measure.
The price of these patterns is 20 cents,
but either will be sent on receipt of 10
cents.

BOARD HELPS ALONG
CONCRETE BLOCK TRADE
Coping and Railing Not Included in
Contracts for Macy Street
Bridge, but Only Pro-
vided For

lThe city engineer has prepared and
presented to the board of public works
plans and specifications for the con-
crete coping and railing for the Macy
street bridge over the Arroyo de Los
Pesos.
These were not included with the
main structure, as the city engineer
deemed 1t advisable not to do SO for the
reason that the railing can best be
made by concrete block manufacture.
Under the terms of the contract be"
tween the city and the Pacific Electric
Railway company, the city cannot &C.
quire title to the approaches or under
take any improvements thereon until
payment therefor is made to the COM
.pany, and the amount of such pay
ment cannot be known until all con-
tracts for construction are entered into.
To avoid possible delay. the board
induced the council yesterday to adopt
a resolution authorizing the board to
advertise for bids and to award the
necessary contract for the construc-
ton of the concrete coping and railing.
