that had he never become connected
with politics he would be alive and
making a good living.
Diener killed himself with a shot
that went through the right temple.
He was seen by a night watchman to
enter the building through the base
ment entrance from Broad street
shortly after Z o'clock. He spoke
pleasantly to the Waterman and
passed on, as though making for one
of the lavatories. In few seconds
a shot was heard and Lieutenant
Maier and several detectives from
headquarters arrived in the corridor
at the same time. Diener's body was
living on the tiled flooring with the
revolver, still sns~Sing, grasped in
his hand.
Although it was plain to be seen
that death had been instantaneous
and that he had died by his own
hand, County Physician Mckenzie.
whose office is but a short distance
away, was summoned. He merely
viewed the body.
1t Is apparent that the intention to
take his life had been formed in the
mind of Mr.. Diener early in the after
noon, as he spent considerable time
visiting old friends about the city.
To one he remarked that he could
see no use in living when a man of
his age could not get a position, al
though he was active and willing to
work. At each place where he called
during the afternoon his friends
noticed he was low spirited. but he
appeared to think that things would
brighten up.
He went into the cafe of John d.

PETIT JURORS
MAY STRIKE
FOR MORE PAY
Sheriff Doesn't Allow Increase
Provided by the New
Law.

Rumors of a strike for more money
in the Court House were flying ABOUT
the corridors today. According to
the stories the hundred or more seek
ers after the raise will refuse to take
their pay unless they get what they
demand.
No they will not be county en-
ployes-the strikers will be pett
iurymen, if there are any strikers.
Some OF the members of the panel
when approached today were much
wrought up because, they say, the
sheriff is not going to give them the
raise provided for by the Legislature
in passing Senate bill 16. which the
Governor signed March 30. Some OF

that he had received no orders from
the sheriff about paying the jurors
at the new rate, but he Thought tnat
the matter would be decided TINS
afternoon. John R. Flayell, the sner-
iff's secretary, believed that the Jurors
will get the new amount.
Jurors say, however, that they have
been given to understand that they
will not get the money they are en-
titled to. If they don't a number OF
them asserted that they will refuse
their money and stay at the Court
House until they get it. The present
Jury panel concludes its term of SER
vice tomorrow, so that any action
the Jurors may take will not affect
the business of the courts.
The new jury pay law will cost the
county about $4,000 a year.

Former Alderman Commits Sui

Former Alderman Frank Diener, OF
the Second ward, shot and killed him
self in the City Hall last night. His
act is believed to have been due to
despondency over financial reverses.
He was not only well known in this
city, but had wide acquaintance in
New York, having been connected
with Kapes & Ryan's hotel and bath
establishment there for twenty-four
years, as well as having been con-
nected with the Knickerbocker Ice
Company for six years.

BRITISH CRUISER,
Firing, ALARMS

HIGHLANDS, April 22.--One Of
the British cruisers doing patrol duty
off the entrance of New York bar
Dor alarmed residents in this vicinity
shortly after noon today by opening
fire with her heavy guns, causing de-
donations which shook windows along
the coast. The cruiser was appar-
emily engaged in target practice.
The firing was very heavy and in
salvos, coming from the port bat
teries. The projectiles could be seen
striking the water two or three miles
distant from the ship. The cruiser
was about twenty-fhree miles east of
the Highlands and he&ding east.
One other cruiser was in the
vicinity.
Residents along the coast rushed
from their dinner tables to witness
the firing, which lasted twenty
minutes. Wild rumors circulated
that a German submarine had ap-
peared and was being attacked, but
this was merely conjecture as the
marine observers saw no sign of any
vessels except the cruisers.
The ship that was doing the firing
was of the four-funnel type. The
other was the converted merchant
ship Empress of Britain A third

Highlands yesterday disappeared
