Suicide After Separation.

Salisbury. Md, Dec. 2. Theodore H..
Henderson, painter. committed suicide
in the Central Apartments today by in
haling gas. Last Monday his wife swore
out warrant for him, charging disor-
DERBY conduct and drunkenness. and JUS

naming at their home in South Sails

Henderson seemed very respondent
last week and is alleged to have been
drinking. Last night he came in late.
This morning a strong odor of gas was
traced to Henderson's bedroom. The
door was locked. and, when frequent
raps failed to elicit response. the door
was forced open.
Henderson lay on the floor with tube
connected with the gas heater in his
mouth and the bed clothes wrapped
around his head. DIR. Potter said Hen
derson had been dead three or four hours.
The coroner's jury gave a verdict of
death due to inhalation of gas with sui
cidal intent.
Henderson was 80 years old. He came
here about three years ago from Attain
tic City and about one year ago married
Miss Emma Dorman. of Salisbury He
left her 81, 600 life insurance.

IMPROVEMENTS ARE ORDERED
AT THE STATE CAPITOL
C Commissioners Order Many Changes
in State Grounds at Their
Meeting

The swinging gates will be remov-
ed and a free entrence into the
grounds may be had. During the
winter months the iron gates are a
nuisance, as they stick and are often
bound with snow The walks will be
further improved and the state prop
erty in general is to get much
needed going over.
The Board is on the right track
All the improvements suggested by
Mr.. Brodigan are necessary for the
safety of the building and the ap-
ppearance of the place. The Capital
building has been for years dismal
old place, and with proper lighting
would make an attractive building.
The beautiful trees about the plaza
with some lighting effect will lend
charm that has long been needed.
The State Engineer has submitted
plans which will be acted upon as
soon as possible.

Clarence Mackey Enriches The
School With Liberal Donation

The new structure will be built on
lines of architecture as originally
drawn by Thomas Jefferson at the
University OF Virginia During his
trip East President Stubbs, accom-
panied by Walter d. Bliss. the San
Francisco architect, went to Char
louisville, Va. and spent several days
inspecting the architecture OF Thorn
as jefferson. Drawings were made
of the plans OF the principal buildings
and from these the designs for the
new structure will be made.
DR.. Stubbs in discussing the latest
gift of Mackay stated that the friends
of the benefactor requested that
their names remained concealed and
in Difference to this request he refus-
ed to make them public.
Mackay has already donated large
sums to the University OF Nevada,
and endowed the Mackay School OF
Mines. The statue OF his father now
decorates the north end of the quad
rangle and faces the Mackay build
ing. 1t is also due to the donations
of Mackay that the athletic field, the

President Joseph E. Stubbs OF the
University OF Nevada, who returned
several days ago from a several
weeks visit to New York, announced
yesterday that he had received a dom
alton of a quarter of million dollars
from Clarence Mackey and friends
of the latter with which to build
a new administration and library
building at the University. The
building will occupy the site on
which Morril Hall now staSds.
Mr.. Mackey, the benefactor OF the
University, practically assured Pres
ident Stubbs about year ago that
the donation would be forthcoming
means that work will be started
in the near future towards the
construction Of the new building.
Morrill, Hall, the oldest building on
the University campus, will be torn
down. For many years Morrill, Hall
was practically the entire University,
but as time rolled on other structures
were erected and to-day the college
institution boasts OF about dozen
different erections that grace the
quadrangle.

The State Board OF Capitol Com
misioners held meeting yesterday
and decided to make number OF
improvements about the state build
ing and grounds. Secretary OF State
Brodigan has been insisting for some
time that the necessary improve
ments and changes should be made.
He has evidently convinced the 9TH
er members that he is in the right
line.
The lighting system about the big
building and grounds is inadequate
in every particular Gas jets are
burning where electric lights should
be used. A couple of arch lights are
swung into the tree tops and prac-
tically leave the grounds dark. They
are to give away to number OF
small lights scattered through the
grounds and building. The lower
floor is to be re-wired and number
of such improvements made.

More Writs

This afternoon o. j. Smith, W. f.
Griffin and {. III. German, who were
arrested in Reno in the morning. ar
rived in this city on the motor. They
had telegraphed that they would be
here and file writs OF habeas corpus
before the Supreme Court under the
new arrest and indictments.
AT the present time the Supreme
Court has under consideration writ
of habeas corpus asked for by Oscar
Smith. A decision in the matter has
not yet been rendered
1t is possible for the parties arrest
ed in any county in the state to inn
mediately ask the courts for bail re-
lease. This will probably be the
course taken by the different men ar
rested in sections away from Eureka
County. Smith and the others in this
end OF the State are fighting to pre-
vent going 10 Eureka County and so
far have managed to keep away from
the town where the bank was wreck
ed.
The recent report of the Grand
jury OF Eureka County named ten
indictments, but in the report given
the public no names were given.
They appeared as Indictment a. b.
G., etc. 1t is only by the serving OF
bench warrants that the names are
made public.
In the report OF the Eureka Coun-
ty Grand Jury it censured the old
Banking Board severely 1t stated
that the Board had never lent assist
ance toward recovering the losses
sustained by the depositors. or in the
prosecution OF the bank officials and
that the Board had never produced
the data furnished by the late Exam
ner Van Fleete.
Quoting an excerpt from the re
port, it is stated that the influence
OF the old Banking Board seemed
from the start to have been exercised
more in the defense OF the bank
officials and in the defense of their
own neglect OF duty than in the in
terest OF the depositors."
In another section of the report it
is stated that had the board taken
steps to close the Eureka County
bank when their attention was first
called to its deplorable condition, the
results would have been much better
for the depositrs and all concerned.
with the exception of the officials OF
the bank, as the deposits OF the
bank at that time were many thous-
ands of dollars less than when the
bank closed, while the assets were
in much better shape. These are
facts shown by the books, notwith-
standing the statements the con-
rary issued by the banking board
