TRIES REPEATEDLY
TO COMMIT SUICIDE
Prisoner in City Jail Deprived of
Opium Is Crazed by Loss
of Drug and Wants
to Die

Frank Hildebrand, a man said to be
addicted to the use Of opium and who
has been without the drug since Feb
ruary 13, when he was arrested on sus-
picion and placed in the city jail by
Patrolman e. L. Jones, made three at
tempts last night in the jail to commit
suicide. Being deprived of the drug is
said to have caused the prisoner to
make the effort to kill himself.
Hildebrand was discovered by the
night jailor shortly before 10 o'clock
hanging from the bars of his cell in the
upper tank, with a 'knotted piece Of
rope and wire bound around his throat
and fastened to the. bars He was ull-
conscious and it required thirty min
utes to revive him. When revived ne
promised not to make another attempt
to kill himself and was locked in his
cell
Twenty minutes later he was found
hanging from the cell bars with a pair
Of suspenders knotted around his neck
and fastened to the door of the cell
He was taken to the dungeon and
placed in solitary confinement with
only clothing enough to cover his
body. He was detected a few minutes
later beating his head against the stone
wall Of the cell in an effort to dash out
his brains.
Dr. E. H. Wiley, police surgeon, at
tended the man and soon had him
quieted, but a watch was placed over
him for the remainder of the night

MERSEREAU ELIGIBLE, BUT
MAY DECIDE NOT TO RUN
Will Not Enter Three=Cornered FiuFt.
Pressure Being Put on
Mayor Farley

PASADENA, Feb. 15-City Attorney
j.. Perry Wood has finished his investi-
cation of the claim that Councilman
j. d. Mersereau, candidate for mayor,
is not eligible for the office because he
has not been a registered voter in the
city of Pasadena for five years. At
tOrney Wood holds, and cites cases to
prove his contention, that the phrase
in the charter calling for a qualified
voter of five years standing means a
man who is qualified to vote, not a
man who has actually been a voter.
Whether Mr.. Mersereau will run or
not is a question, even now that he is
declared eligible In a statement given
out today, he says:
Il do not believe that Judge Magee' S
supporters will consent to allow him to
withdraw, and L do not think mine will
allow me to step out in favor of Judge
Magee. This will mean either a three
cOrnered fight or that both will with
draw and a third man be entered. I
will not be a party to a ree-cornered
fight"
There is a persistent rumor af1oat
that both Mr.. Mersereau and Judge
Magee are to withdraw from the con-
test and that Mayor Thomas Farley
will be urged by his party to accept
again the nomination for the office, al
though he has persistently and determ-
inedly stated that he would not be a
candidate. Today Mayor Farley said
he knew nothing of the rumor and
most decidedly, was not a candidate

IN SANTA ANA AND VICINITY

SANTA ANA, Feb. 15.-Burglars en-
tered the Hawley gun store on West
Fourth street last night and stole
thirty-f1Ve revolvers and a safety razor,
the total value approXimating $400.
The thieves forced the fastening of a
window in the rear of the store and
went out the same way, leaving no
further clew than footprints, that may
or may not lead to their arrest.
George Christensen, II years old,
whose parents live at Tustin, was ar
rested today for forgery. Christensen
came into Hawley's gun store this
morning and presented a check for
$3.50, signed by ]. r. Johnson and made
payable to George Alexander. Chris

ster, but as he couldn't get the check
cashed the deal fell through.
Joe Nieblas was arrested today,
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon, and this evening was securing

URGED BY MAYOR TO
TAKE POSTAL BALLOT
CITIZENS ANXIOUS TO HAVE
HORSE SHOW
Directors of Board of Trade Consider
Exhibition and Polo More Inn
portant Than Mere -.
Oak Trees
Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA, Feb. 15.-Mayor Thomas
Farley has suggested to the Horse Show
association that it take a postal ballot
of the city to determine whether or no
the five scrub oaks at Tournament park
be removed, as the association desires,
or whether they shall stay as orna-
ments to the park.
The mayor promises to abide by the
result of such a ballot. The association
has not given an answer to the pro-
posal, but is going ahead with the plans
to give the horse show on some other
plat of ground, if one can be found
unencumbered and large enough for
the playing of polo.
The city commissioners today refused
to reconsider their previous vote re-
fusing to cut the trees down, although
they were presented by a petition
signed by the directors of the board OF
trade, acting as private individuals,
urging such action.
The petition set forth that the horse
show and polo game, with the proposed
establishment of a permanent polo club
in the city, was of far more Importance
to Pasadena than the presence of five
struggling oaks.
