HANGS HIMSELF
Boxmaker in Financial Straits Ends
His Life-Spouse Calmly Cuts
Him Down and Summons
Physician

AS Mrs. Herman Heider, on return
ing from work yesterday evening at 6
o'clock, pushed open the front door of
her home at 1923 Court street she
found the dead body of her husband
hanging from spike driven in the
inner side of the door. The mans
death was plain case of suicide.
The woman with remarkable cool
ness took butcherknife and cut the
quarter-inch rope by which the body
was swinging. She then summoned a
physician. AS there was no indication
of life in the body 1t was. removed to
Bresee Brothers undertaking estab-
lishment.
Dependency over business depres-
sion, it is thought, led Heider to COM
nit suicide. He and his wife were in
business together at San Fernando
street in small factory devoted prin-
cipally to making fancy boxes. OF late
trade has been so dull that Mrs. Hell
der has been forced to go into the
factory and work by hand among the
few employees. over this the husband
had brooded considerably.
Heider left a note written In German
that clearly indicated he took his life.
1t was addressed to his wife, and read:
"You will follow. Good by
HERMAN"
Heider was last seen at 3:15 o'clock
in the afternoon at the box factory.
He evidently went directly home and
took his life. To accomplish the act
he drove a spike in the door near the
top and attached a rope. Putting
moose around his neck he stood on a
chair and jumped off.

NEW YORK, July 6.-New Yorkers,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-Abraham
Ruef was released from the county Jail
tonight on bonds aggregating $1,560,000,
the largest amount ever given in a
criminal case in this state.
This sum is the aggregate bail upon
Seventy-eight indictments returned by
the Oliver grand jury, charging Ruef
with bribing the former board of super
VfSorS In connection with the granting
of franchises, to public service corpora
tionS and upon which he was taken In
custody March 8, 1907. Nine months of
that time he was kept in custody by
the prosecution as a sort of prisoner
of state" in charge of an eliSor, ap-
pointed by Judge Frank H. Dunno, and
half a, dozen private guards at an ex-
pense of about $1,000 month, but since
January 10, when the new administra-
ton went into Office, Ruef has been
languishing in the county jail.
Twenty sureties, including Ruefs
father, sister and himself, signed the
bonds. 1t developed today during the
examination of his sureties before Su-
perior Judge Frank ]. Murasky that
Ruef owned real estate in this city
which he recently transferred to his
father and sister upon which a real
estate expert on the witness stand
placed value of $1,095.556.
RuefS annual income from this prop
erty was $4,000. His father and sister
went his bonds to the amount of $780,
600, while other sureties qualified for
$4,000. OF the latter, Joseph Hirsch
and Leopold Hirsch signed five bonds
for $4,000 each, Louis Friedman six
bonds of 100000 each and surety COM
pany deposited a certified check Of
100000, equivalent to 100000 In bonds.
Ruef's next trial has been set for
July 15 on one OF the indictments charg-
ing him with bribery in connection
with the granting of a trolley franchise
to the United Railroads Although he
has been in custody for sixteen months
he has been tried but once, the Jury
disagreeing after being out forty-four
hours.
After leaving court Ruef vent to the
home of his parents to join them at
dinner, and announced that later he
would visit the county jail to bid fare
well to the prisoners and thank them
for courtesies shown him; also to re-
peat to them assurances of his inten-
ton to look after their welfare in the
matter of better prison accommoda-
tions.
MY time will be occupied with the
work of preparing my Defense" re-
marked Ruef. IT am glad to acknowl-
edge the fairness and courtesy of Judge
Muraskey, which are in decided con-
trast to the methods and attitude Of
the department from which the matter
of bonds was transferred Had these
bonds been presented to Judge Muras-
key or any other judge than the one to
whom under the law they were re-
quired to be presented they would have
been approved not later than June 90"

Explorer Hopes to Reach the Pole, but
lntimates That His Stock of
Bacon Is Rather
Limited
BY Associated Press.

BY AsSOclated Fresss
NEW YORK, July 6.-With only a
minimum amount of supplies and equip
ment, Commander Peary's exploring
ship, the Roosevelt, left the pier at
East Twenty street at L o'clock
today for the initial stage of her jour
ney toward the north pole.
over $4,000 is still lacking in the
estimate the explorer made some time
ago of the smallest amount of money
necessary for another attempt to place
the Stars and Stripes over the geo
graphical point never before reached
by human beings.
"I haven't the supplies and equipment
/ would like to have" said Commander
Peary last night, ''but still think we
will be able to pull through. With my
experience and knowledge of the coun-
try up there 1 think the expedition is
prepared for three years in the Arctic
regions If conditions are favorable and
/ have no lad luck. / will have, OF
course; to depend upon getting a good

on board the Roosevelt this after
noon, in addition to the twenty-five
men making up the expedition. were
members of the Peary Arctic club and
a party of invited guests. A govern
ment tug from the navy yard will con-
duct the Roosevelt to an anchorage off
City island and bring the party OF
passengers back to the city. From
City island the Roosevelt will proceed
to Oyster Bay tomorrow to be in
spected by President Roosevelt.
Commander Peary himself will not
sail on the Roosevelt from Oyster Bay
but will join her at Sydney, c. B.
The scientific equipment to be used
in this expedition is now on board the
Roosevelt and is probably the most
complete ever taken to polar regions,
consisting as it does of all the instru-
ments needed in meteorological, astron-
omical and tidal observations.
