A certificate OF death by suicide has
been issued IN the case OF Conrad
Genenger, thirty-eight years old. for
mer sailor in the United States navy.
who died yesterday morning at Homec-
pathic Hospital from poisoning by illu-
mlnating gas.
Dependency over the loss OF several
positions is believed TO have caused
.Genenger to commit suicide. although II
is considered likely the man was not IN
his right mind. as he had once been a
patient at the Government Hospital for
the Insane. He was discharged from the
hospital as cured
Genenger was found unconscious on a
bed in his room at GIG NJ street north
west by the landlady. Mrs. Virginia
Brown. who detected the odor OF gas and
went into the room TO investigate. The
man was partially dressed. He died an
hour later al the hospital without regain

Daniel SuIIy's Priest Is Strong, HUI
man Characterization, with Senti-
ment, Humor and Pathos
lntermingled

1.-The Matchmaker" in which Daniel
Sully is appearing at the Majestic thea
ter. is an old time heart-interest play,
full of throbs and thrills and unhandy
villaining, with an abundance of good
comedy and bright lines. Mr.. Sully ap-
pears in the role of a benefcent priest
in Boom City, Idaho, during the IRON
tier days. The part fits him so per-
fectly that the lines and business seem
less like acting than the spontaneous
incident of the action. In Father DAILY,
the priest, Jerreld Shepard, the author
of the play, has achieved "A remarkably
well drawn Characterization, moving
and appealing in it's broad humanity
and refreshing and natural in its senti-
ment and humor.
Most of the characters are drawn
with clearness and trenchancy. The
play includes several stron~ situations,
but is marred by much wide, loose talk
and incident, and a decided weakness
in the Women's parts, both in the lines
and the acting. Gertrude Earl is the
best of the women actors in the role of
the priests ward, young girl who was
born in the mountains. reared in the
priests house in Nevada frontier
town and talks like Avenue A. Julius
Wright gives good characterization of
Jim Carter. a wealthy ranchman, who,
foiled in his villainy by the canny old
priest, turns out to be not so bad after
all.
r. A. Stewart appears as Willie
Beekman, a New Yorker. Mr. Stewart
does not seem quite clear as to just
what kind of person he is trying to
impersonate, and the audience is left
equally in doubt. Evidently the near
riding breeks symbolic over refine
ment. Possibly there are other clews

MAN VII USE CHECKS ARE
WORTHLESS IS ARRESTED
William Hildebrand, a Fruit Peddier,
Is Locked UP on Charge
of Suspicion

William Hildebrand, fruit peddler,
was arrested last night by Patrolman
Brown on a charge of suspicion. Hill
debrand gave check drawn on the
Ocean Park bank to the Wheatley Pro-
duce company for the sum of $1,000 in
payment for a load of oranges. The
check was returned, marked no funds.
Hildebrand is an eX-convict, having
served time in the state prison for
counterfeiting and for larceny. More
recently he was engaged in the fruit
business in Ocean Park with a man of
the name of Armbruster. This bust
ness failed and he came to Los Angeles
and started a peddling wagon. He is
alleged to have defrauded several pro-
duce dealers of large sums but to
have settled the matter by making part
payment on the bills against him. Two
other checks drawn on the Ocean Park
bank, in which there are no funds to
meet them, are said to have been given
by him to the Los Angeles market.

the show only once would not be able

The play seemed to be keenly en-
joyed by the audience last night, and
it is doubtful if more appealing
character than the wise old priest has
yet appeared at the Majestic.

sixth weeks run at the Belasco theater

management has assurance of another

more. Meanwhile Miss Florence Reed

liant young Muscovite star, will ap-
pear tonight in 1.-The Dolls House at

to the amount of S5O00 The stock was
valued at $4,000, with insurance of
about one-half that amount. w. S.
Heineman, dealer in oriental rugs, who
occupied a part of the store, was dam
aged to the amount of $1,000.
The fire was discovered at 800
O'Clock and an alarm from box Al
brought all the downtown apparatus
of the fire department to the scene. The
fire was confined to the basement and
its origin is a mystery. When dis
covered dense clouds of smoke were
pouring from the basement and for a
quarter of an hour it was impossible
to reach the seat of the flames because
of danger to the firemen.
The blaze started in lot of Grated
and boxed furniture in the rear of the
basement. and it's timely discovery pre-
vented what would have been g dan
gerous and costly fire.
Four lines of hose were run into
the rear of the basement and a
''spreader'' was attached to line and
run through a hole cut in the floor of
the vacant storeroom at No. 322, ad-

place until the fire was drowned.
Handsome and costly picture frames

figures until he could get into the
basement and make an examination

Ted Richards by His Presence of Mind
Saves Himself from Elec-

Ted Richards, who has made numer-

yesterday afternoon while giving an
exhibition near Eastlake park. After
cutting loose from his Montgolfier
Richards parachute landed him among
some electric wires, alongside of which
were high tension wires carrying $4,000
volts.
The superintendent of the power
house and other spectators momen-
tarily expected to see Richards grasp
the wires, contact of two of which at
one time would have electrocuted him
in a few seconds. He maintained his
hold on but one wire, however, and
worked his way to the pole without
touching any other. Notwithstanding
the fact that Richards realizes the dan
ger he was in, he says he intends to
fill his contract by making another
