Has Been on Stage.

Has Been on Stage.
Prior to this marriage. the young wom
an had been well known as an amateur
actress. Then she turned to the stage
professionally and made her debut in
1890. with Nine. Modjeski's repertoire
company. Six weeks afterward she
joined a stock company directed by Har-
ry Corson Clarke.
1t was in August. 1908, that Janney.
then stationed at Governors Island, was
ordered to the Philippines. Mrs. Bru-
guiere. who. after her divorce, had re-
sumed her maiden name of McKissick.
was in New York and had met Janney.
He asked her to marry him and accom-
pany him to the Philippines. and she con-
scented. They went to Jersey City few
hours before the transport sailed and
were married by Justice Of the Peace Le-
hane.
Two years later came Janneys suicide.
His natural gayety and companionable-
ness made his act all the more shocking.
Apparently in the best of good will he
went with his wife to dine at the home
of his superior officer.
Recognizes Silver Cooler.
The dinner party went on merrily till
the Japanese servant brought in the
champagne in the silver cooler. Janney
recognized the vessel as his and de-
manded an explanation. When he learned
that his wife had presented the cooler to
Col. Ames he flew into rage, got up
abruptly and rushed out Of the house.
Lieut.. Jordon, another guest. went in
pursuit Of him. But he did not find jan
ney. who had gone straight to his own
quarters and secured a revolver. Then he
returned to Col. Ames' house and en-
tered by the back door. He stalked into
the room where Col. Ames and Mrs.
Janney were sitting still at the dinner
table and before their eyes sent a bullet
into his brain.

Third Husband.

SACRAMENTO. Cal. June 29.-The
secret marriage has occurred here Of
col. Robert F. Ames, L. 8. A., Of New
York, and the widow Of Lieut.. Clar-
"nce NJ. Janney, who shot himself to
death in Col Ames' home in Manila,
March IL. 1910. in the presence Of that
officer and Mrs. Janney. who. it now
appears. June 6. became Mrs Ames. the
CEREMONY being performed at the home
~ Mrs Janney's brother, Judge r. r.
.IcKissick.
When Janney shot himself there
lung for a time a mystery about the
manner of his death. Col. Ames. then
lieutenant colonel of the 18th Infantry.
was tried before a court martial.
which. however. decided that Janney
had without doubt taken his own life
and that Ames' connection with the
Ease did not lay him open to suspicion
or censure.
The case stirred army circles in the
Philippines until the Washington au-
thorities had to take a hand and call
half dozen courtsmartial In order to
clear the atmosphere. But out OF IT
came only much gossip. and the one
fact that Janney had shot himself
because he had discovered that his
wife had made a gift to Col Ames of
silver champagne cooler that had
been given to Janney as q token OF
esteem by brother officers In the 18th.
Were Romantic Couple.
Janney and his wife enjoyed great
social popularity at the Manila army
post. They were romantic couple. He
had been q soldier Of fortune. fighting In
the Cuban insurgept army against Spain
and enlisting I'm several South American
revolutions. He went into the United
States army as a private, but in about
three years attained second lieuten-
ants commission. He was a man Of Gull
ture and came of a well known Vir-
ginia family, and. despite his having
arisen from the ranks. experienced no
social snubbing from his fellow officers
ar their families.
The career of the woman who has
now become Mrs. Ames was equally ro-

sick. daughter Of Judge McKissick
Of Oakland. Cal Her first marriage
was in 1898 to Peda Bruguiere, son OF

DR.. RUSSELL IS FINED:
VIOLATED HEALTH RULES

For failing to follow the District health
regulations requiring formal notice Of the
existence Of contagious diseases, DR.. Muir
ray A. Russell. member Of the visiting
staff of st. AIMS Infant Asylum, was
fined IS by Judge Aukum in the Police
Court today. In imposing the fine Judge
Aukum said that the physician was
guilty merely Of technical violation Of
the law, and for that reason he believed
the ends of justice would be served by
a nominal penalty. Sister Agnes. su-
|perintendent Of the asylum. had been
charged by the District with violations
OF the regulations. also. but the case
has been settled amicably.
At the height Of the recent epidemic In
light cases Of measles DIR. William C.
Fowler of the health department discov-
cred three death certificates from st.
AIMS Infant Asylum. dated May 8. and
IL, giving measles as the cause Of death.
No reports showing that notice OF the
cases had been given the health office
could be found. An investigation was
made ending In the trial today. The re-
uuirements of the health ONCE are that
prompt notice Of cases of contagious
desease shall be sent to the health officer.

II went to the asylum after receiving
the death notices. with another official of
the health ONCE. We found an epidemic
Of measles raging there forget the ex-
act number of cases, but / think there
were twenty-three or twenty-four. An
investigation showed that apparently no
effort had been made to report their ex-
istence to our ONCE. The present charge
against DR.. Russell was made because he
was the physician who had signed the
certificates OF death, and because of state
ments he made at the asylum. Several
days after our visit the contagious ais
ease reports on the children who had
died came to our office properly made
out. They were signed by DIR. Russell"
