SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1S-Carey
Manker died in the Emergency Hos
pital today, a suicide.
Three years ago Manker was presi-
dent Of the Bank of Pearl, Ills. the
biggest man in the little town, his
opinions and likes and dislikes re-
ferred to by all.
But he wanted to become a Morgan
and began specializing in stocks and
grain. The marget went against him
and he lost all his own money. Then
he borrowed" from thu banks. Final
ly, badly involved he invented safety
appliance which would make a bank
burglar-proof He organized a com
pany to exploit the invention and
financed It with the banks cash. Ths
scheme did not pan out successfully
and Manker took all Of the cash he
could get hold of and fed.
For three years he wandered
through thu west hoping to get back
on his feet and restore the stolen
money "The way of the transgressor
was hard" and he went from bad to
worse. Finally he drifted into this city
and tried to drown his conscience In
the cheap product Of the barrel house
Three days ago he hunted policeman

willing to so back to Illinois and pay

He kept his courage up until last
night
But the strain proved too much and
IN the darkness he got out small

plunged 1t into his throat When dis
covered, he was dying

CITY REGISTRAR
FORCES ONE ISSUE
VIII No Longer Issue Burial
Permits on State Regis
trar'S Papers

AS a result Of the contention over
the granting of burial permits, Secre-
tary Malcom, of the Board Of Health,
yesterday afternoon has taken up the
subject with City Solicitor Hastings
Mr.. Malcom said today that Mr.. Hast
ings informed him that all undertakers
must secure burial permits from Mr..
Malcom for interments within the city
no matter whether the persons die in
Wilmington or in the county outside
the city and as the ordinance pro-
vides that a burial permit must be is
sued on a death certificate issued by
physician, such certificate must be
turned over to the city registrar.
Acting on this advice Mr.. Malcom
today notified all undertakers that he
would not issue burial permits for
interments within the city unless the
undertaken produces the physicians
certificate.
The trouble has been that the State
Board of Health insists on issuing
burial permits for persons who die
outside of Wilmington and are in
TERED here. Dr. A. u. Frantz being the
State registrar for this district The
cemetery companies, however, refuse
to accept a state permit and will
bury only on permits ISSUED by Mr..
Malcom. the city registrar.
Undertakers have been. in the habit
of going to the state registrar when
a person died outside the city to Sc
cure a burial permit on the doctors
certificate OF death. and then take
this permit to Mr. Malcom and get
ting a city permit. The latter con-
tends that under the ordinance he
cannot issue a burial permit on a
permit issued by the state. but must
have the doctors certificate and has
demurred. He has now settled the
question to his satisfaction and the
letter he mailed today to the under
/ takers is the result

In order that Mayor Fern have no
further doubt as to the value of fly
screens, it has been suggested that
he make himself familiar with some
of the forms adopted in a city like
New York, for he will have another
chance to assist to pass an ordinance
That will MAKE the vendors of perish
able goods enclose their shops with fly
screens. The last time that it was
before the Supervisors it was passed
by them, but vetoed by the Mayor.
and there was not then majority large
enough to override the veto.
