SUICIDE
ACCEPTED
THEORY
Chicago Police Believe That
Hammond Lawyer Tried
to Kill Himself; More Evi-
dence Comes Out That
Doyle Was Involved.

Did Gerald A. Doyle. the Hammond
lawyer found in a Chicago park yes
terday, fear arrest upon his arrival at
De Pere. Wis, on account of his re-
sponsibility In connection with the al
legged passing of a number of checks in
Hammond; did he fear that he would
be disgraced on the eve of his marriage
with Helen Jones' pretty young So
ciety girl of De Pere, with his physical
condition. such that he did rot believe
himself capable of undergoing the:
strain of a wedding and did all these
things reduce him to sncif a state OF
desperation that suicide seemed to be
the only relief from the mental strain
from which he was suffering?
This is the hypothetical question that
the acduaintances of Gerald Doyle are
asking as a result Of what Is now be-
lieved to be an attempt at suicide on
the part of the young attorney.
sister Was Drowned.
One of the sensational discoveries in
connection with the Doyle affair is the
fact that his sister committed suicide
by drowning. This fact was discov-
cred in a peculiar manner
Doyle owed Manager Jack Glennon
s45 for board and room and made one
ing it. Finally GIennon ordered him
out of the place and retained some
books, a suit of clothes, a grip and
some papers.
In one of the books there was a
newspaper clipping which stated that
Miss Doyle, daughter OF NJ. j. Doyle OF
Menominee. Mich. had committed sui
eide by drowning.
Manager Glennon stated that Doyle
had given him couple of checks when
he did not have funds in the bank. Il
went to his Office said Glennon, 'and
told him what l thought of a man who
would do a thing like that. Doyle
went out in the building and borrowed
the money to save himself from prose
cution-"

H. HUBER
ON TRACK
ELEVATION

Henry Huber. who owns considerable
property on East State street has some
original ideas on track elevation. He
said today, " When track elevation
comes there will probably be an over
and under crossing at Holman sreet
and Plummer avenue.
Railroads always prefer to nave this
kind of a crossinf and save the expense
of interlockers and the delak that they
cause My suggestion would be that
the Michigan Central go over the
Monon, Erie and Nickel Plate tracks
and then have the tracks of these last
mentioned roads depressed that
State street would go over them
In this way there would be no un-
slightly elevation of tracks through the
business district of Hammond and such
streets as State and Sibley street could
just bridge the depression through
which these tracks run.

JUDGMENT AGAINST coRYE11.s

Last Monday Judge Charles Mccall
of Golden, sitting for Judge Shumate.
rendered his decision in the case of
Pauline Fawcett versus Perry c. Cory
ell and Minnie B. Coryell of New Gas
tie.
The judge found for the plaintiff in
the case and rendered Judgment against
Mrs. Coryell for $2O,474.75. That is, he
finds that Mrs. Coryell shall pay into
the Garfield County Coal and Fuel
company that amount. He also decides
that Perry C. Coryell shall pay into
said company $1,000, He further or
ders that the land in litigation AMI
which was acquired by Mrs. Coryell
through tax deed must be by her deed
ed back to the company and if this IS
not done within thirty days the clerk
of the court is authorized to make such
transfer. 1t further provides that the
Coryells shall pay all costs Of the suit
that have thus far accrued and all that
may accrue and pay an attorneys fee
of $4,000 for plaintiff attorneys, d.
NJ Campbell of Pueblo and S. ]. DeLa1
of Glenwood Springs.
The court further appointed George
Edinger receiver for the property of
the company and required that he give
bond of $4,000.
Inasmuch as the Coryells are the
owners of nine-tenths of the stock of
the Garfield County Coal and Fuel
company, the plaintiff, Miss Fawcett,
owning the other one-tenth, the judg-
ment will not effect them as seriously
as might at first appear since they will
get the benefit, to large extent, OF
the money they are required to pay
into the company. OF course the court
| costs and the costs of the receivership
will amount to considerable.

GOVERNOR VET0ES
ANOTHER BILL
Refuses to Pay Water Com
missiouers From State
Funds Is Wrathy
CITES SOME REASONS

Denver, April Ex-Governor Shafrotb
today vetoed Representative Hasty's
and Senator Stephan b | which pro.
vided that the state shall pay the ex.
penses of water commissioners and their
deputies, instead of the counties pay
ing these expenses as heretofore. In
vetoing the bill, the governor gave as
his reason that it would increase the
expenses of the state three hundred
thousand dollars bienniallv. an increase
which the state cannot afford at this
time. He discussed at some length tn
schools, experimental stations, depart
ments and organizations that are main
tanned at state expense for the beneft
of the agriculturists of Colorado and
stated that they are now receiving
more direct benefit from state expendi
lures than any other one class of citi-
zens. He referred to the assessment of
local property by county assessors and
maintained that these assessors com
peted with each other to see how low
a valuation they could put on local
property, which naturally reduced the
revenues that can be derived for state
purposes off this property. He main
tanned that until the assessors began to
place something like the froper value
on local property it would be folly to
add burden of three hondred thousand
dollars biennially to the already over
appropriated state revenues.
The present assembly has sent the
governor five bills-four of which he
has vetoed.

buying a lot. If reason and common
sense entered into the matter the peo.
pie would see that they must be the
ultimate loser if valuable property is
destroyed. They are the ones who pay
for this kind of fight
The Glenwood case has been in the
courts for long time. The company
claims an exclusive franchise to sup
ply the town with water. The town
claims that it can build plant of its
own. The company asks an injunction
restraining such action. Charles S.
Thomas appeared for the company
when the case first came into the fed
eral court. Possibly because of the
senatorial race in which he is one OF
the "dark horses,' he has turned the
case over temporarily to his partner,
Mr. Nye. Attorney Thomas was in
the court room for time yesterday
afternoon.
1t is the contention of Attorney
Rush for the town that under the laws
of Colorado there can be no exclusive
franchise and that the people have a
right to build their own plant if they
see fit, even though the value of the
property of the company which was
granted the franchise is destroyed. At
torneys for the company contend that
while it is impossible to issue an ex-
elusive and irrevocable franchise under
the laws of this state, the city has no
right to build by public taxation a
plant to compete with the one to which
it has already issued a franchise. This
is the main issue involved in the case
and Judge Lewis requested the attor-
neys to confne as much as possible
their arguments to this point.
The contention of the attorney for
the company was that it is rank injus-
tice for the municipality to build at
public expense plant to compete with
and drive ont of business private
enterprise. That franchises might be
granted to competing companies, they
admitted, but that the municipality
should conduct competing plant at
loss and make up the deficiency by
public taxation they claimed was re-
pugnant to the ends Of justice.
1t was after several hours of argu-
meni upon this question that Judge
Lewis expressed the opinion that it
was the people who were the ultimate
losers when such fights were under
way. The thought that the people
could be so blinded by politicians that
they sought to destroy property and
work against their own interests by
building a useless plant, seemed to
strike the Judge as point that was
overlooked by the learned attorneys
in their arguments. The need of a
common sense settlement of such ques
tons he showed to be. most apparent.

EDWARD KNoPF CALLED HENCE

Edward Knopf, well known to nearly
every resident of Glenwood, died at
2:45 yesterday morning at the home of
his brother, Joseph Knopf, of Denver,
from heart failure.
Mr.. Knopf. who was 80 years of age,
had lived in Glenwood about two year7
He worked for several months for Abe
Cohn and later started on his own ac-
count to pediling fruits and vegeta-
bles over the town. The past winter he
lived in Marble and recently came
down from that point because Mrs
Knopf, who is delicate in health, com
planned of the high altitude.
But it soon became evident that Mr..
Knopf did not leave the high country
any too soon for his own good and
about week ago he suffered an attack
of heart trouble from which it seemed
for awhile he could not recover. HIS
physician advised that he be taken to
Denver or some place lower than Glen
wood and he went at once to Denver
to the home of his brother, but med;-
cal skill was unable to stay the raw
ages of the trouble which has been for
years insiduously undermining his vi
tality.
Mr.. Knopf, by his upright conduct,
made many friends in Glenwood who
will greatly regret to learn of his sud
den demise.
Deceased leaves wife and one so7.
His home people live in Richmond,
Indiana.

NAVIGATION FULLY OPENED
First Arrival in Port Under Sail
for Nearly q Month.

Except for some little drift ice that
does not at all interfere with navigation
even by sailing vessels. the river is now
as free of ice as it is in midsummer. and
vessels can go and come from this por.
at will, provided the wind is right. The
disintegration of the ice began Wednes-
day, when the warm weather set in, and
was completed by the rain yesterday.
The schooner William F. Villas, with oys-
ters aboard, sailed up the river yesterday
as far as Alexandra, and this morning
came up to this city. She found no ice
to stop her. and made good progress up
the river. She is the first vessel to come
into port under sail for nearly a month";
but others will follow her example unless
another freeze comes, and even then
several days of cold weather will be re-
quired to cover the river with ice. The
ice, according to reports. still covers many
of the creeks tributary to the river, but
it has softened up considerably, and
would offer but little obstruction to
tugboat, though it is still hard enough to
prevent sailing craft moving through it.

TRYING NEW BREAD FOR ARMY
May Be Adopted for Use in the
Field.

Good progress has been made at the
Washington School for Army Cooks in
the development of a new field bread.
Commissary General Sharpe telephoned
directions to the school one day last
week for the baking of an experimental
batch of the new field bread, and the
next day a number of Ioaves were de-
livered at the department.
The new bread resembles in appear
ance the old style of German rye bread,
although it is made from white -four.
The outside crust is very hard and Of a
dark color. With some improvements.
Commissary General Sharpe is of the
opinion that the bread can be kept fresh
for twenty days. One Of the most de-
sirable qualities of the bread is that it
can be baked in an ordinary army field
oven. II is considered more desirable
than the compressed style of field bread
which was tested in the camps of instruc-
ton last year.
II the new field bread is adopted the
commissary department will change the
character of the hard bread which is
now in use. With the new field bread in
use. the hard bread will be treated as an
emergency ration as bread of last
resort Soldiers will not be called upon
TO eat hard bread or the old hard tack.
except under extraordinary conditions.
when pressed for food supplies With
portable field ovens the army can be
supplied with soft bread even while it is
on the firing line.

Lost Cannon.
the Editor OF The Star:


In 1855 l prepared for a Chicago pub
fishing house a history of Franklin coun-
", Pa. with headquarters at Chambers
burg. While I was thus engaged I was
Informed by Mr.. s. b. Hege, formerly
a resident of the county, and now a popu-
lar and efficient railroad representative
in this city, that when Lees army re-
treated from Gettysburg, in July, 1856;
u left two cannons near Marion. in that
county. and buried them i'm the mud.
This fact he mentioned AS d mere Incl
dent that occurred TO him.
Some time ago ] published in the Public
Opinion of Chambersburg the incident as
related by Mr.. Hege. and called for ad-
ditional light OH the subject In a re-
cent issue of that live paper I. J. Schaff
confirms the incident as related by Mr.
Hege, and says: The ground being
thoroughly saturated with the rain the
roads were in wretched condition, and i'm
places became impossible. The teams
had to he driven afeld 4 number of
cannon were removed over the same road
and several of them stuck in the mud and
had to be abandoned. They were dis
mantled. placed in the center of the high
way and teams driven over them, inbedd-
5ng them so deeply in the mud as to pre-
vent their being found
The writer concludes: THE cannon are
well worth unearthing. for they would be
interesting relics OF those troublous
times
II is possible. that some Confederate
romrade has a recollection of these cir
cumstances and is able TO give such infor
nation as will enable a water witch or
cannon witch to locate the lost property
definitely. In that case Mr.. Hege's hint
lnay bear a fruitful realization.

SUGGESTION OF FOUL PLAY.
Friends of Dead Sailor Believe He
Was Murdered for Money!.

j. G. Esterline, first-class fireman on
the u. S. s. Tallahassee. whose body, cut IL
twain, was found on the railroad tracks
near I'd and l streets northeast Satur-
day night, was a native of Pennsylvania,
although he resided in Baltimore at the
time Of his enlistment in the navy.
Many friends of the dead man called
at the morgue yesterday. Coroner
Nevett was told by some that Esterline
usually carried considerable money on his
person, and the suggestion was made that
he might have been robbed before he
was killed.
The police found only 81 in the pockets
of his clothing. His friends are positive
that he had considerable more than that
sum in his possession when he left the
ship Saturday to enjoy a shore leave
Of two days.
Before leaving the ship Esterline told
some of his companions that he was
going to visit relatives in Baltimore He
had purchased a ticket for a trip to
Annapolis, however, and the ticket was
found in his pocket.
Coroner hewitt thinks that Esterline
wandered into the railroad yard and was
accidentally killed by a train.
In order to give the police an oppor-
tunity to make q further Investigation
Coroner hewitt swore jury over the
body at the morgue this morning and
adjourned the hearing until later. The
body was turned over to an undertaken
to be prepared for burial.
