teachers object TO the new contract ana
ask for a weeks extension OF time Tor
the signing of the contract. The latter
request was granted. as all OF the con

today.
That part OF the contract to which ne
teachers objected was that which holos

Union Depot Improvements.

Within the next two weeks work viii
commence upon the construction of five
additional tracks at the union depot for
the passenger train service The addi-
tional tracks have been badly needed for
several years and it has only been with
the most careful scheming and planning
that trains have arrived and been dis
patched without a congestion. On one or
two occasions all of the tracks in the
depot yards have been blocked with
trains and it has been found necessary to
use freight tracks to place some of the
trains before others could leave.
Before leaving for the east Resident
Engineer Campbell said that the plans
for the new tracks are now in the hands
Of Vice President Kruttschnitt for his
approval and when returned the work will
be rushed to completion.

GABRIEL ZWEISLER
ENDS EARTHLY CAREER

Gabriel Zweisler, the carriage and auto
mobile trimmer, who was sent TO the
chain gang on Wednesday and THURSDAY,
before he had a trial in the police court.
and later dismissed by Judge Murphy, died
at the police station yesterday afternoon
at o'clock from poisoning, supposedly
carbOlic acid, taken with suicidal intent.
The old man was picked up on lower
Twenty fourth street yesterday after
noon a few hours after he had been re-
leased from jail. He was hurried to the
police station and DR., Morrel attended
him. Everything possible was done to pro
long his life, but to no avail and he died
within few hours,
Early Wednesday morning Zweisler was
arrested by Officers Chambers and Had
lock in a hay loft near the corner OF
Twenty-first street and Adams avenue.
He appeared TO be in an intoxicated con-
ditiOn When he was arTaigned IN police
court he pleaded not guilty and his case
was set for Thursday morning. As he
was leaving the court room, through some
mistake he was sent TO the gravel pit
with the chain gang.
On Thursday when the mans case was
called in court the blunder Of some one in
sending the man TO the chain gang was
discovered and the man was returned
from the chain gang to the jail. When
he was taken in court yesterday morn
ing the man was dismissed by Judge Muir
ply. as it was apparent that he had been
punished enough for a misdemeanor.
Shortly after his release the man must
have procured the carbOlic acid. which he
diluted with water and drank. He then
went out onto the street. where he was
found a few hours later by Officer Vance.
While en- route to the police station in the
patrol wagon a bottle Of peroxide was
found in his pocket and when the officer
attempted TO take it the man made a
struggle for il. While en- route TO the
police station the mans face was almost
black from suffOcation resulting from the
paralysis of the respiratory system.
The body was removed to the Richey
undertaking parlOrs where it will be held
pending the funeral arrangements. The
man was about 60 years of age and had
! been engaged i'm carriage and automobile
painting for the past two years. As far
