PLUNGES TO HIS DEATH
IN WATERS OF POTOMAC
Delay In Arrival Of Pulmotor Makes
Vain Efforts to
Save Life,

I'm going to commit suicide; here
goesr'
With this exclamation yesterday after
noon shortly before O'Clock Robert r.
Mothershead. thirty-six years old, who
resided at 1919 ~ street southwest. threw
MS hat away and leaped into the river
from Stephenson's wharf at the foot of L
street southwest.
About twenty minutes later his body
was recovered by the harbor police and
EFFORTS made to resuscitate him, but with
out avail. Owing to misunderstanding
In receiving the message sent by the har-
Dor ponce there was delay in getting a
pulmotor to the wharf.
As soon as Lieut.. Dean of the harbor
precince heard there was a man overheard
a physician and pulmotor.
1.-The body has not been recovered" he
said over the telephone, but 1 expect it
Will be out Of the water by the time YOU
reach here"
instead OF going to L street southwest,
1t is stated, the ambulance went to L
street northwest. Lieut.. Dean, learning
OF the mistake, telephoned to the bureau
OF mines and had Van II. Manning and
George +. Pope bring a pulmotor to the
wharf.
The two men from the bureau of mines
reached the river front about twenty min
utes after the body had been taken from
the water. While waiting for the pull
motor the police rolled the body to get
the water from it and worked hard to in
duce respiration. While Manning and
Pope were working to save the mans life
physician from Emergency Hospital ar
rived. He. too, labored hard over the
body, but finally the effort to restore life
was abandoned and the body sent to the
mOrgue.
Mothershead was in the ice business
He left his stable about o'clock yes
terday afternoon and went home
While there he made a remark to one
of his five children that suggested he
contemplated taking his life. but the
child was too young to understand
what his words meant
Leaving home, Mothershead walked
briskly to the river front. On the
wharf he met a cOlOred man named
Sam Johnson and addressed him:
Hello, Bud"
Thinking Mothershead had business
on the wharf. johnson made no effort
to stop him, and he was surprised 9
minute later when he heard the splash
Of the body going into the water.

Mothershead's last words as the latter

was summoned to the wharf.

hewitt gave a certificate showing the
ice dealer had plunged into the river
with suicidal intent.

enter school for the first time this year

SAYS JUVENILE COURT
NEEDS A NEW HOME
Judge Gesford of California Praises
Methods. But Condemns I'm
suitable Quarters.

Judge Henry c. Gesford of the superior
court of the state Of California, who is
in Washington attending the convention
Of the Red Men as great representative
from California, was an interested spec
tator at the session Of the Juvenile Court
yesterday afternoon.
The Jurisdiction of the superior court
in the western coast state includes juve
nile offenders, and a great part of his
work consists OF work with the younger
element. The judge was favorably i'm
pressed with the way the cases yesterday
were settled by Judge Latimer. and could
scarcely credit the fact that the present
judge has been sitting only about two
months.
AS is the case with all visitors to
Washingtons Juvenile Court. the judge
was disagreeably surprised at the miser-
able quarters in which the court is
housed. On his way to this city and at
other times Judge Gesord has made a
point OF visiting the children's courts in
a number of cities. and said yesterday
that the courthouse in this city was e.
tremely cramped and Inadequate, in COM
parison with the courts of other Ameri-
can cities.
Judge Gesford lays great stress on the
Importance of any court proceeding in
WHICH cullUToH uSuT6. Tie Is oil edIH nest
advocate of the principle of working up
through the children, with the idea of
preventing crime, rather than the punish
ment of crime in adult offenders. While
the judge, Of course. believes in the crimi-
nal court system Of the country, he be-
lieves in taking the potential criminal in
his youth and directing his abnormal
tendencies into normal channels and MAX
ing a good citizen of him.
1t is impossible for court to accom-
awning 6pllnnlqnf
Judge Gesford says, without the proper
surroundings in the children's court. The
bare, miserable looking room in which
children of both sexes and all races are
held at the court until they are tried
was deplored by Judge Gesford, and he
expressed the hope that the new court
house for the juvenile body. to be built
in Judiciary Square, for which govern
ment officials and others are working
would soon be an assured thing

| 1865: Il have gathered history from
Hawaii to Kauai. but there are many
things | do not know and which, not
having heard, cannot teach 1t
might be we'll to have four men like
myself paid each to go around his isl
and and ask the old people who are
still living for the facts and stories
about the places where they live
These men must be wise and we'll

many Of the residents are like stran-
gers to the places where they dwell
and do not know the history"
S. y. HaleOle, who probably was
one of the prominent citizens of Wal
luku, is the only source | can find for
the following statement in the Kuokoa,
vol. ". Nos. 16 and p. He says: Il
have been gathering the traditions
and history of Hawaii for eighteen
years ard have been writing about
kamehameha in the "Hoku ka Pa
kipika'"
According to Haleole, a historical
society was organized in March, 1863,
and his work was the story of Kane
hameha lie says he had "a great
book filled with historical material"
He outlines in his letter a very inter-
esting series of chapters of the life Of
Kamehameha |. He makes the follow
ing short statement concerning the
parentage of Kamehameha: at is be-
lieved that Kahekili went from Maui
Ito Hawaii) and met Ke-kui "a -po-iwa
(the mother of Kamehamehal, aud
they thought there would be a child
Then Kahekili said, 4 must return to
Maui. You wait for the childbirth. If
boy is born call his name Kameha-
meha after my brother, Kamehameha
nui.' Kahekili returned to Maui
where in a little while he became
king on the death of his brother Ka-
mehameha nui). There he heard
that a boy was born and named Ka-
mehameha. He sent two men to be
priests and teachers of Kamehameha
They remained with him until they
died. Some people say that Keoua
was the one who lived with Ke-kui-a-
poiwa and was the father of Kameha-
meha, who was born at Koko-iki in
North Kohala."
This Is the record of the founda-
ton of the first historical society and
the method of securing the facts upon
which all the Hawaiian history of all
the later years has been based.

OPPOSITION to the confirmation by the

Thomas for judge of the United States
District Court has originated with
Senator Henry F. Hollis, of New

is ascribed to the New Hampshire SEN

tary have kept him out of law prae-
tice so much that he is not equipped
