to find Judge McEwen to perform the
ceremony. After a two hours search
he was found at a dinner at the Thir-

couple appeared. The officials of the
club induced them TO have the cere-

Ice-Body Cut Down.
Man Had Been Discharged from Two
Jobs Lately, and Had Taken TO
Heavy Drinking.

Robert Ellis. aged about 40 years.
a German committed suicide this
morning by hanging himself The cause
for the act is attributed 10 loss of his
job and dependency biseght on by
heavy drinking The method used by
lEilts in ending his life was rather
unique
He lived In a shanty at the rear OF 133
west Fourth South street. over the
door was a large horse shoe. nailed
there presumably for the purpose OF
bringing good luck. Eilts made a moose
from his suspenders and placed 1t
around his neck. Then climbing on a
box CT chair he tied the other end
of the suspenders to the horse shoe
kicked the support from under him and
dangled at the end of the improvised
rope.
DISCOVERED BY NEIGHBOR.
He was discovered by Mrs. Trumbell.
who lives in the front part of the house.
She quickly notified the police and Ser
geant Johnston and officers Carlson.
Lyon, Golding and Moore hurried to
the place in the patrol wagon, The
body was hanging in frons OF the door
and 1t was almost impossible to open
the same because OF the weight against
It. Mrs Trumbell called at the place
this morning for the purpose OF collect
ing rent due from Ellis. She knew
he was In because she saw him stag
ger into the place this morning. After
knocking at the door for some time, she
tried to open it. but was able to push IL
back only II short distance. She dis
covered the body and notified tho
police
Sergeant Johnson tried to cut the sus-
penders but could not reach them, SO
he broke the horseshoe from its fast
enings and tho body fell 10 the floor.
LIFE WAS pXTINcr.
When the officers entered the room
the body was quivering and 1t was be-
lleVed that the man was still alive.
| They worked over him for few mo-
| ments. but all TO no purpose as life
was extinct. Justice Dane Il. Smith
was notified and after viewing the re-
mains ordered the same sent to Halls
undertaking parlors. No inquest will
be held RS the case was clearly one OF
suicide.
VICTIM or DRINK
But little could he learned about Ellis.
He was q German and had been IN salt
Lake about a year He was employed
at the Royal and at Franklin's as -
pot washer. He was discharged from
the latter place four days ago because
of his habit OF getting drunk. After
losing his job he began drinking more
than ever. Early this morning he went
into Third South street saloon and
begged for drink. This was denied
him and, after hanging about for
awhile he went 10 his room and hung
himself The officers made a search
of the room FOR letters. etc. but found
nothing TO indicate whether or not the
man had any relatives In this country
In his trousers pocket was five cent

They Thought Our Navy a Bluff
But Now They Sit Up
To Notice.
PLANS RoUT SKEPTIcISM.
Continuation of Voyage Around the
World Breaks Down Every Con-
yiction Frenchmen Held.

Paris, March l4.--News of the de-
cisIon to send the American battleship
feet back to the Atlantic coast oy
way of Australia and the Suez canal
Is received here as a browning revela-
ton of the efficiency of the American
navy The statement that the cruise
IS to be extended In this manner has
opened the eyes of the French public
which had been led TO believe that
the American navy was good deal
of q bluff" that the cruise around
South America would demonstrate the
incapacity of the vessels, and that IL
it was accomplished the ships would
be ready for the scrap heap. Even
in French naval circles the belief was
that the long voyage would develop
structural weaknesses in the vessels
themselves. or at least serious break
downs in the engine rooms.
ASToNISHES FRENCHMEN.
In view of these opinions. the an
nouncement that the fleet arrived at
Magdalena bay ahead OF her schedule.
ready for target practise and in bet
ter condition than when it sailed from
Hampton Roads in December, has
created all the more astonishment
Many French officers now frankly
say the impressive demonstration
given by the American fleet, of its
ability to keep at sea. raises the AM
ericqn navy TO an equality with that
of Great Britain, and that If the re-
turn journey is as successful as the
trip around South America has been,
the American will have demonstrated
that she has no superior in the world,
SIT UP TO NOTICE.

Thomson, is so impressed with the re-
suit of this cruise that he is instruct

In full report of the condition OF the
ships and the lessons OF the cruise The
lack OF boiler accidents during the
voyage already has called out criticism
of the contrast furnished by tho
French navy where trouble in the en-
CINE room is constant and NJ. Thorn
son has been interpellated as to why
the government does not use the Amer
lean type of boiler which is now being
manufactured in France.
A salient feature OF the cruise which
is attracting attention here is the sue
cess obtained from the American sys-
tenn OF employing line officers in the
engine rooms. This procedure up to
the present time has been, regarded
with much skeptlcism in French naval
circles.
