CITIZEN
CALLED TO REST
One of Hibernia Bank Founders
Passes Away After an
Eventful Life

John McHugh, recognized in the
early days as one of the foremost citi-
zens of San Francisco, founder and
first vice president of the Hibernia
bank and a pioneer in the shipping
business of the Pacific coast, died at
his home, 6S5 Fourth avenue, Monday
morning, at the age of IS years. The
funeral will take place today from
st. Mary's cathedral, interment to be
in st. Mary's cemetery in Oakland.
McHugh was born in Ireland and
came to the United States when he
was 81 years of age. Ever an ar
dent patriot, he, soon after his ar
rival in New York, identified himself
with the movement to free Ireland,
and in 1S4S went 10 the penal settle
ments in Australia and Tasmania in
an effort to aid in the escape of sew
eral Irishmen who had been convicted
for political crimes.
From Australia he came to Cali
fornia, landing here in 1850. Though
without means at the time it was not
long before he was established in
commission business, being a member
of the firm of Brennan & Co. He gave
up this for the shipping business.
In 1853, he, with several others
founded the Hibernia bank, John Mel
being elected. president and McHugh
vice president. Not alone was he
prominent in business circles. Much
of his time and money was given TO
the church and he and John Sullivan
We're the men who were instrumental
in the building of the old ST. Mary's
cathedral at Dupont and California
street, which is now known as the
Paulist church.
Business reverses met him while at
the height of his career. His large
real estate holdings fell away from
him and 30 years ago he was forced
to secure position as a clerk in the
Hibernia bank. He held his position in
the bank for 30 years. but II years
ago he became blind and was forced
to retire. Since that time ne has been
living quietly with his only living
child-Miss Minnie McHugh-at 6S5
Fourth avenue
McHugh despite his reverses, MAIN
tanned his optimism to the very last
Five minutes before ne died he ex-
claimed Everything is fine. And it's
going to be better" Death was due
to old age.

CAPITALIST LEAPS
TO DEATH IN BAY
William Streichan of Vallejo,
While Deranged, Jumps
From Steamer
Grew Fails TO Recover Body and
Floating Hat Is the Only
Identification


VALLEJO, May 25.-Through the
recognition of his hat, left behind him
on the steamer Arrow, from which he
jumped to his death in the bay last
night, it has been established beyond
doubt that the suicide was William
Streichan, local capitalist. who disap-
peared from his home yesterday even
ing while his mind was temporarily
deranged. The hat was brought to VAL
lejo today and positively identified by
friends and relatives of the dead man.
Streichan leaped into the bay while
the Arrow was bound to San Francisco
early last night Judge J. III. O'Leary
of this city saw him jump, but was
not close enough to distinguish his
features or otherwise identify him. The
steamers crew worked for an hour en-
deavoring to locate the body. but failed
to do so, and the Arrow went on to
its destination. The identity of the
suicide remained mystery until the
hat was recognized today
Streichan was a resident of Vallejo
for 26 years and is survived by a
widow and several nephews. He owned
two of the largest business blocks in
the city and other valuable property
in the county.

Game Too Plentiful

PARIS. MAY 25-Maior Louis, l.. Sea-
man, L. S. A. has arrived here from
Momhassa, where he met the Roose-
velt party He says Selous and Cum
ninghame are the best hunters In
Africa. and that the. former president
lis having the time of his life.
Major Seaman. who hunted with Doc
tor Guitera of New York over the Ath
plains. along the Nairob river, where
Roosevelt is shooting, brought out $50
specimens of big game. He reports
animals so plentiful that after six
weeks hunting he and Doctor Guitera
were completely satisfied with the
sport. When he left. he said. he would
rather shoot snipe on the wing that
elephants.
Never have the western cattle
ranges seen so many animals. he said.
One. day we counted 40 zebras, ga
zelles and other animals within a seq
ment. comprising a tenth. of "A jcircle
There were fully 5000 in sight, New
ertheless. the animals are hard to ap-
proach. as the herds keep out SEN
tinels.
Major Seaman considers the rhino-
ceros and the buffalo the most dan
gerous TO hunt as they invariably
charge. which means death to the
hunter if the animal is not killed or
crippled. Lions, on the contrary. he
says, are natural towards, adding:
THE lion never fights except when he
is wounded or driven to bay
Major Seaman, who is an expert in
military sanitation, was greatly inter
ested in the sleeping sickness. He
brought back the first news of the dis
covery of Doctor Schrin. German.
which completely upsets the theory of
the English commission, that the
tsetse fly only transmits the malady.
Doctor Schrin proved that the fly be-
comes infected, thus establishing "a
cycle as is the case with the mosquito
in yellow fever. The fly remains in
oculated for 80 days. This discovery
renders more difficult the extinguish-
ing of the dread disease.
The disease has claimed 500, 900 vic
Tins and, according to Doctor Seaman.
not a single person attacked has ever
recovered.

TALES ARE FAKES,
ROOSEVELT SAYS
Hints at Newspaper Bribery and
Says No Correspondent Is
With the Party
Is Enjoying Himself and Sur
prising Natives With His
Workmanship

NAIROBI, British East Africa, May
25-A staff correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press returned to Nairobi this
morning after two days visit at the
Roosevelt camp as the guest of Colonel
Roosevelt.
The camp was located on the Heatley
ranch. on the banks of the Nairobi
river. Roosevelt and his son Kermit
were in remarkably good health and
they were delighted with the success
of their expedition. The accuracy of
the rife fire of Roosevelt and his son
had astonished not only the settlers,
but the members of the party.
Kermit killed recently, at close
range. a hyena that had attacked him,
and he also came near making a record
bag of female warthogs in given
space of time.
Today the party is staying at the
Heatley ranch. but tomorrow Roose-
velt. his son and Edmund Heller are
coming into Nairobi. Major Mearns
and J. Alden Loring viii remain at the
Ju ia ranch until Wednesday, collect
ing birds and mammals
Roosevelt is annoyed at certain spe-
ciaI dispatches. which. it is reported
here. are appearing in American or
English newspapers. He requests the
Associated Press to send out the follow
ing statement:
NO newspaper has a representa-
tive with the party. nor any other
means of gaining information of the
party's doings beyond what is gen
orally known. Any special dispatches
appearing are in all human probability
sheer inventions. Moreover, the de-
tails which purport to be thus obtained
can only be due to bribery, and it is
safe to state that a dishonorable man
giving a bribe and a dishonorable man
accepting the same would be willing
to invent untruths for money or traffic
in other forms of dishonor."
