Kills Himself Rather Than
Ask for Financial Aid

NEW YORK, July 10.-Too proud
to ask for financial aid William Krie-
ger, proprietor of an employment
agency, lies dead today in a little
home, from which a city marshal
sought to evict him, his wife and
two children. Unwilling to face life
longer, krieger sent a bullet into his
brain, while his faithful wife down
stairs pleaded on her knees that the
city marshal give her time to collect
the overdue rent.
When the marshal asked for the
money Krieger clutched a photograph
of his wife and children, and then
turned the revolver upon himself as
his surprised wife went upstairs to
learn how it was that he had CON
cealed from her the fact that he was
in financial trouble.
HE was such good man that he
kept his troubles from me-" said the
fearful wife today. II did not know
that he had been failing in his bust
ness"

PRESSURE Low ON
MAD|SON'S HILLS
Highland Residents to Ask for
Better Water SuppIy-Pub-
lie Band Concerts.


MADISON, July 10.--As a result Of
a communication from Richard r.
Williams, sr., OF Madison avenue, a
special committee Of the Board Of
Public Improvement will again start
agitating for a more adequate water
supply for the high places of the
town Mr. Williams, who Joined the
board last evening at the regular
session of that body, stated that ever
since the DeBary fire, when palatial
residence was totally burned, he had
been wishing for such an addition
to Madison's facilities as would give
better pressure in his section of town.
He says that the pressure is made
quate at his home.
1t is proposed to effect this result
by an addition to the stand-pipe near
Wildwood Terrace and larger mains in
elevated parts of the borough. Plans
were submitted for an Improvement
of this kind about five years ago. The
matter was again taken up two years
ago and again defeated. Those who
opposed 1t did so on the grounds that
it was too expensive. Town officials
thought to remedy the inefficient
pressure by the purchase of an auto
pumping engine. This, however,
showed a propensity for not working
when needed most 1t is also calcu-
lated that during severe weather,
with poor roads, it would not get to
the scene of the fire in time to be of
any benefit.
