began a search. Frankel evidently had

lay face downward in a position that

Employees i'm a restaurant and cafe,
at No. POO Montague street. Brooklyn,
which Frankel opened few months
ago. were not surprised when the
news of his death came. When the
head bartender reported for work yes
terday morning Mr.. Frankel was not
there as usual, and the cashier found a
note in the safe directing him 10 pay
the employees and ending with the re-
mark, You will hear more from me by
evening" The first news that came
was that Of the suicide.
Mr.. Frankel had been unfortunate
recently i'm his business ventures. He
had interests in various hotels in New
York state, and one by one they ceased
paying dividends. For fourteen years
he had been proprietor Of the Hotel
Albert, at University Place and 11th
street. and through his large acquaint-
ance with hotel men he was enabled 10
make other investments. which in turn
proved unfortunate.
To stem the tide Mr. Frankel began
plunging. He took over the old Gilsey
House two years ago. but failed to re-
vive the hostlery into a paying con-
Germ. 4 little before that he pur-
chased Washington Park from Charles
Ebbets and became a partner of AL
bert Schwartje I'm its management, los
ing heavily on the investment.
His last attempt to recoup his falling
fortunes was the cafe in Montague
street. For some months he seemed to
take an interest in the business, but he
never mentioned il To his old friends,
and apparently felt keenly the change
from the position of metropolitan hotel
manager 20 that of proprietor of an
obscure cafe For some weeks, it Is
believed he had been practically with
out funds.
Mr. Frankel was born in Hanover.

with his wife and a step daughter,
