Mrs. C. e. Wills Denies She Tried to
Commit Suicide-Dose Too

cover

Mrs. c. e. Wills of AIT Berendo
street attempted to commit suicide at
her home yesterday afternoon by TAX
ing morphine. She made the mistake
of taking too small a dose and also of
telephoning to her son George, who is
employed at Brauer & Krohn's tailor
ing establishment, that she had taken
poison.
AS soon as he received the telephone
message young Wills notified the po-
lice surgeons and the police ambulance
made a fast run to the house. Mrs
Wills was found in a stupid condition,
but she denied that she had taken any
poison and said that she had been
drinking and that it was the liquor
she had taken which had affected her
and not poison. She refused to go to
the hospital and the ambulance re-
turned to the station.
A half hour later another call came
from the house and the ambulance was
sent back with DR.. S. ]. Quint. The
surgeon found Mrs. Wills suffering
from morphine poisoning and had her
removed to the hospital, where the
usual antidotes We're employed and she
was soon pronounced out of danger.
On a stand table in her room when
the ambulance arrived the second time
was found a note written in lead pen
ell which stated; II cannot do more.
am so tired. If Kenneth were only
here!"
After she had been placed in care of
the matron at the central station Mrs
Wills again denied that she had in
tended to kill herself.

FRENCH STRIKERS
COINCIDE FAILURE
LEADERS OF MOVEMENT IN
PARIS SURRENDER
Postmen Seek Old Positions, While
Unions Raise Funds to Support
Those Who Are Now With

rBy Associated Press.1

PARIS, May 21.-The curtain was
runR down today upon the general
strike amid recriminations by the lead
ers. who tried to throw the RESPONSE
bility for the failure upon each other
and the defeated postal employees.
The end came when rev huhdred
Iaborers voted to resume work. The
General Federation of Labor then
threw up the sponge and tonight is
sued a manifesto trying to cover up
their retreat, explaining that the pos
tai employees were over-confident of the
success of their second strike, (which
everything shows was prepared and
instigated by the government, which
was DESTROYS of an opportunity Tor
avenging itself against the leaders of
the first strike"
The statement adds that the strikes
of the excavaters and other workmen
having sufficiently demonstrated the
solidarity of the proletariat and the
postmen, there is no reason to call out
other unions, notably the electricians,
who had expressed their readiness to
enter the fight
With the surrender of the federation
the strike Of the postmen collapsed en-
tirely. and the few still on a strike de-
cided to try to secure their old posi-
tions The postmen and a few of the
other unions are now raising a fund
from which to give the dismissed pos
tai employees $50 a month until they
can obtain other employment.

Fortune Favors the Graft at Time
When Threatening Gale Might
Have Caused Total
Wreck

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. May 21.-The Al
Ian line steamer Monaghan early today
freed herself from the ice pack off the
entrance to ST. Johns harbor, in which
she had been imprisoned for two days.
The heavy easterly swell which set
in last night broke up the Ice pack
and enabled the vessel to shake her
self free.
All night there was constant COM
motion in the great field. the big bergs
twisting and turning, while the pres
sure on the steamer was greater than
ever before.
Dawn revealed open water within
few miles of the steamer. A little later
a lead opened out. through which the
Monaghan steamed to comparative
safe waters. For this first hour or two
it was slow work, as the ice was still
heavy and continually driving In on
the steamer.
on getting farther off shore the foes
opened out more and at a. m, with
fairly clear water, the Monaghan
swung around and headed down the
coast and around Cape Spear in the
direction of Bay Bulls.
1t was thought at first that the Mon
golian might try to run into Petty
harbor, ave miles south, but her cap
tain decided to keep on to the more
sheltered harbor of Bay Bulls, where
it is expected the steamer will remain
until the mouth of ST. Johns river Is
cleared of ice,
In shipping circles the release of the
Monaghan is looked upon as particu-
Iarly fortunate, as the conditions last
night were threatening and an easterly
gale would have seriously injured the
vessel

YONKERs, N. Y, May 21-The will
of Susan Van Nostrand Pulver of
Hastings and objections to its ac-
ceptance have been filed in the sur
rogate's court. Mrs. Pulver gave her
whole estate to her daughter, cutting
off her husband, John, and her son,

1t is said that for many years Mr..
and Mrs. Pulver lived under the same
roof and ate at the same table, but
never spoke to each other directly, al
ways using a black cat as an inter-
mediary. Mrs. Pulver would say:
81 think I'll have some more coal,
don't you, pussy?" and the old gentle
man would get the coal without speak
ing to his wife. When meals were
ready, Mrs. Pulver would say to the
cat: ''Well, pussy, dinner Is ready for
the family. Call them in"
Before she died Mrs. Pulver trans.
ferred all her realty to her daughter,

DETECTIVES GO
ON STILL HUNT
MYSTERIOUS COFFIN CON-
TAINS DEAD CAT
OFFICERS THOUGHT MURDER
WAS COMMITTED
Owner of Pet Feline Which Died
Wished Animal Buried In Proper
Manner and Caused Much
Excitement

From way out in the Agricultural
park district came a frenzied message
to the police yesterday afternoon, the
substance of which was that two mys-
terious people had left the Hotel Locke
at Second and Hill streets with a cof-
fin containing a body, supposed to be
that of a child, who had died mysteri-
ously or had been murdered, and that
they were on their way to dispose OF 1t.
Capt. c. e. Dixon, who received the
message, at once assigned Detectives
Roberts and Walker to the case and
ordered them to find the persons and
learn the nature of their business, and
If crime had been committed, to bring
the guilty parties, with all the evil
dence they could secure, to the station.
Afire with the Importance of their
detail the detectives left the station,
and from the Hotel Locke traced the
people to Broadway, and there, after
time. found that they had boarded an
eastbound Boyle Heights car with the
mysterious box.
A description of the man and woman
having the box was obtained and the
officers secured Boyle Heights to learn
their destination. OF course the Ever
green cemetery was thought to be an
objective point, but no trace of the
people was had there. Finally it was
learned that they had got off the car
at the end of the line and walked far
Their east.
Out beyond the city limits the officers
went, with the trail getting warmer
all the time, and at last they reached
the home of Mrs. Emma Brooks at 239
Wellington street. Mrs Brooks was
and admitted she and her
husband had found a box such as they
described on their front doorstep, and
that they had buried it in the back
yard.
Spade and pickax were called into
requisition. and while Walker picked
away vigorously at the ground Roberts
made the clods fly with the shovel.
At last there was a hollow sound. 1t
was steel striking on wood, and the top
of the box was uncovered. Quickly the
box was removed from the ground, but
first the officers went to see that none
of the people had left. They might be
needed for witnesses.
Then the box was opened, and with
suppressed excitement a white cloth
which covered the object in the box
was removed. A body lay there, but
alas for the officers hopes! it was the
body of a dead cat.
Mrs. Spencer, who lives at the Hotel
Locke, had a very fine Angora cat for
a pet. The animal took sick and died,
and a pretty little casket was prepared
for it. Not wishing to go to the trouble
and fornality of obtaining a permit to
bury the body within the city limits, it
was taken to the house of Mrs. Brooks,
a friend who lives nine blocks outside
of the city, and there left for burial by
Mr.. Brooks when he came home.
Now just say cat to walker and Rob-
erts and they will say scat to you, but
in a much more forcible manner than
the dead feline could have done 1t.
