ORDERS A PROBE
INTO THE CAUSE
OF METZ'S DEATH
County Physician Advises In
vestigation and Police Head
quarters Takes Up Case.

Samuel Metz, brother of Repre-
sentative Metz, of Brooklyn, former
" comptroller of New York city.
died suddenly last night in the rear
room of the liquor store of Williant
Bohrer. Al Waverly avenues County
Physician Mckenzie has ordered an
investigation into the causes of the
mans death and Lieutenants Kuhn
and Conlon of the police head
quarters staff are working on the
case.
Bohrer. the owner Of the liquor
store. said today that he was stand
ing in front of his place last night
when Metz asked him for permission
to use his iavatory. AS the man
looked i'll, Bohrer allowed him TO
enter, Metz went into the back
room of the saloon and sat down.
He appeared to be sleepy, and after
letting him rest about twenty min
utes, Bohrer shook his shoulder. He
then realized that Metz was i'll and
called DR.. B. III. Wolf, Of 40 Waverly
avenue, who, after making hurried
examination, called an ambulance
from the City Hospital.
A. brief examination satisfied the
ambulance surgeon that Metz was
dead. Captain Vogel. of the Fourth
precinct, was then notified, and he
assigned Plainclothesmen Sehnitt
and Miller to the case, but they were
later superseded by Kuhn and Con-
Ion. Metz's body was removed to
Holes morgue. where DIR. Mckenzie
performed an autopsy today.
County Physician Mckenzie said
that it seemed to him that Metz had
been overcome by sickness in the
street and had fallen. His death was
directly due to heart failure. His
left ear was injured, there being a
small bruise back of it. Both OF his
arms and his knees were scratched
and cut.
Metz was employed as a salesman
by a Photographic supply house in
New York. He occupied a furnished
room at 129 Quitman street Mrs.
Metz and four sons live in an apart
ment at Ill Elizabeth avenue.
Mrs. Metz, when seen today, said
that she had notified Congressman
Metz of his brothers death and ex-
pected that he would come here from
New York some time today.
Il do not KNOW now my huSDanu
died" she added. Mr.. Metz and my
self have been separated for some
time; but I intend to see that his
body is properly cared for, and as
soon as the autopsy is performed I
will make arrangements for his fu-
neral. We are very sorry for Mr..
Metz, although we have not seen him
for some time. 1t seems too bad that
he had to die alone"
Bohrer, the saloonkeeper, and
Charles Wolpert, of 129 Quitman
| street who was with Bohrer at the
| time Metz died, were taken to police
! headquarters this morning and aues-
| toned. The two men were allowed
to go home, but will be called on as
material witnesses.

1t has been recognized as a FORTH

that a system of checks and balances
has been provided through which the
banks can mitigate the possible in

secure stronger banking control are
still regarded as necessary. There
has been a widespread expression of
confidence in the personnel of the

the men placed at the head of each

are that the reserve system will
prove boon to business in general.

Police Captain John H. Ubhaus, has
brought suit against the trolley COM
panies of San Francisco to be COM
pensated for the death of nef nus
band, who was killed recently by
being run down by a street car.
Trolley officials contend thGt the
former Newarker was feeble and that
physical infrmities made him unable
to get out of the way of the ear. In
support of their contention they as
sert that the policeman was retired
after thirty-one years. service on the

Affidavits will be sought here by
Mrs. Ubhaus to contradict this assef-
ton and prove that the captain re-
tired while in good health, because
he was assigned to night service.

by land and sea, uncertainty as to his

A special passport from the State De-

safe conduct into Germany should his
quest take him into that warning land.

are now on sale.
Mr.. Tully is also the author of The

comes from long engagement in New

won for himself conspicuous laurels.
and his Interpretation of the Persian
poet Omar Khayyam is said to be ex-
ceptionally fine.
The play is based upon the life, times
and "Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam, the
merry-souled poet Of the eleventh CEN
fury. whose enchanting Quatrains as
translated into English verse by Ed
ward Fitzgerald are known probably
wherever the English language is
spoken. Briefly, it relates how the
young and impulsive Omar. singer of
sweet songs and lover of red wines,
Wooed and won the beautiful Shireen

how the two we're ruthlessly separated
for many years; how they remained
faithful to each other through all the
storms and stress that befell them; how
Omar reared and loved the little Shi-

heart; how he learned at last that the
little Shireen was also his own daugh-
ter. and how, in the end, peace and
happiness came to the poet and his
long-lost Shireen.

"The Heart of Paddy Whack."

Chauncey Olcott is coming next week
to the Columbia Theater in an entirely
new Irish comedy, 1.-The Heart of Pad
dy Whack," which is said to provide
the star with a role requiring finely
shaded serious work. Miss Crothers
was engaged by Henry Miller to write
Mr.. Olcott's new play, because Mr.. Mil
Ter decided his star was entitled to an
engagement in New York on Broad
way, and something out of the ordi-
nary run of plays was demanded for
the purpose. Mr. Olcott, in the part of
a middle-aged Irish gentleman. who
finds his winsome ward stealing into
his heart when he thinks his duty
points to marriage for her with
younger man, will be in contrast to
his usual role of a rollicking and care
free Irishman. Not that The Heart
of Paddy Whack" lacks comedy. for
there is said to be plenty of fun in it.
The play is simple and straight
forward story of sentiment, with its
scenes laid in rural Irish town in
1880.
Mr.. Olcotts songs are always inter
esting, and this season his repertoire
will include quartet of new ballaos
as well as one or two of the favorites
