"OLD DOC GROSS" ENDS
HIS LIFE WITH POISON
Takes Fatal Dose to Give
Sonny" a Chance to Make
Future for Himself

Old Doc" Gross is dead. The veteran
herb and oil doctor, who for years has been
familiar figure in almost every city in the
country took his own life i'm a hotel at
Broad and Filbert streets today, when he
realized, the police say that he was han
dlcap to his son.
Doc" was cripple. His full name was
Philip H. Gross He was graduated from
Rush College, Lake Forest III. Many years
ago he shot himself accidentally and had
20 use crutches, His son, Reginald G. Gross,
has been his fathers bosom companion slnca
he was five years old. The son now il
twenty.
Together they toured the country, mostly
on foot Father and son were inseparable
The two differed in opinion on this point
alone: DOC putting aside his own feelings,
wanted the son to make future for him
self The son refused TO leave the father.
After broodiug over his sons future,
Doc decided to commit suicide. the police
say. Father and son slept together in the
hotel last night Shortly before 8 o'clock
this morning the doctor reused the son and
said
Sonny Che always called him Sonny)
go out and get me pitcher of ice water" 4"
When the son returned the cripple was
lying face downward on the bed. Death
was almost instantaneous Beside him was
half-flled poison vial which. like the Han
hlbal of old he had carried for years.
Tue son Is NeiBluB on collapse lie wept
piteously as he told how his father had car
ried the poison with him so he would not
have to suffer much in case he was injured
in a wreck ] yer since his shooting acci-
dent he dreaded pain.
Doc" is said to have come from
wealthy family, He ran away from home
when lad and was too proud to return.
lie made his headquarters IN Chicago He
knew all about herbs and oils. and is cred
lied with having saved many lives.
The body will be sent Ia Au7urn, n, Y.

MAYORS VETOES POINT
TONEW LOAN IN SPRING
This Interpretation Is Put on His
Turning Down of Land Con-
demnation Bills

Fearful OF infringing upon the city's
badly reduced borrowing capacity by the Ap'
proval OF land condemnation bills. Mayor
smith and his financial advisers have put
a stop TO any such legislation pending n
final decision as to whether the voters should
be asked this spring to authorize new
loan. In addition to the borrowing capacity
for transit and port purposes, the city in
the next six months viii be in position
legally to authorize loan OF approximately
$ts.o0O,Oo0
The final act OF the Mayor before leaving
for the South was to refuse his approval to
measures providing for the condemnation
OF three plots of ground. Had he signed
the bills the borrowing capacity Of the city
would have been reduced to the extent OF
St2b,0O0. His action in declining approval
is taken by municipal financiers TO indicate
the possibility of new loan legislation this
spring. They argue that II n new loan were
not contemplated there would bc no reason
for the rundown.
INDEBTEDNESS DOUBLED
Last year the voters authorized loans ag-
gregating S1l4,525.0O0 and doubled the
amount of the citys bonded lndebtednesn
At the same time the move nearly exhausted
the 'city's borrowing capacity for all but
port and transit improvements.
IL was generally supposed that all OF the
needs of tho city for years to come had
been cared for in the big loan That such
was not the CAGE is apparent now that Di-
rector Datesman of the Department of Pub
lie Works, finds himself cramped for money
for such important undertakings as bridge
construction, highway paving, sewer build
ing and street repair work
There Is urgent need for s4oO0 600 or
$500, 900 with which to construct the Henry
avenue bridge over the WssahiclSon Creek,
to carry this avenue and the new RoXbor
ough high speed lines TO De constructed
from City Hall via the subway under the
Parkway to Twenty-ninth street, by ele
waited via Twenty-ninth street to Allegheny
avenue and over the proposed bridge to it's
terminus In the Twenty-hrst Ward. Three
years will be required to build this bridge,
and II work IS to be started in the next
twelve months money must be provided in a
new loan.
NEEDS OF WATER BUREAU
Perhaps the most important Improvement
20 be considered in connection with a new
Joan program is the urgent need of the
Water Bureau for $1,000. 900 to be used in
the construction of main feed line to
South Philadelphia, the construction of new
power plants increased filter capacity and
new mains for number of sections east
of the Schuylkill River. In the event of
any effort being made to have the voters
approve loan In 1917 great emphasis viii
be laid upon the need for money for the
upbuilding of the city's water plant.
Dependent upon future loan legislation is
the completion of the Art Museum, the Con-
ventlon Hall and many other projects for
which enough money has not been provided
IN the loans authorized last year.

OLD LANDMARK
WIPED OUT BY fire

The Mick" Johnson home on the
Coldwater Creek, two and a half miles
southwest of town, was burned to the
ground Saturday evening, together with
most of its contents, entailing loss of
about So, 900, partly covered by insur-
ance. Tne FIRE is said to have been
caused by an over-heated coal oil stove.
on which supper was being prepared by
a niece of Mr.. Johnson, who was absent
for a moment. In attempting to re-
move some of the contents of the burn
ing structure Mr.. Johnson received slight
burns and the attending excitement all
but put him out. The barn on the south
side of the road was threatened for q
time but escaped without loss.
The home of Mr.. Johnson was one Of
the landmarks of the county, being the
site of the home of his father, Uncle
Jimmy" Johnson, as he was known half
a century ago, and who died early in the
seventies. The Johnsons, Nick" as
we'll as his father, were early canal boat
men, and The Democrat man well re-
members when their craft was put into
winter quarters at the old waste weir at
the mouth of Coldwater creek, and their
names we're familiar on the Miami and

WELL SPENT LIFE
COMES TO AN END

As the result of a stroke Of paralysis {
few weeks since, combined with age anC
poor health, George LAY, for many years
a we'll known business man OF Celina
passed away Tuesday morning at his
home in this city. He had only been
confined to the house since last Satur.
day, but that he was in rapid decline was
noted by his friends on the return OF
himself and his wife from their winter
home in the south this spring.
Mr.. lay came to Celina about thirty
five years ago, first engaging in the drug
business. In the oil boom period he al
most bankrupted himself in a big busi-
ness venture which caught many Celina
people. In the latter part of his busi-
ness career he run the hardware store in
the building now occupied by Hight, the
druggist, from which he retired about
twelve years ago and erected what is now
known as the LAY building, putting busi-
ness cares behind him.
Mr.. Zay was born in Germany and was
~ years of age. He came to this eoun-
try when a lad of twelve. He was
veteran of the civil war, a prominent
Mason and a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
The deceased is survived by a wife and
one daughter, Mrs. Orel Myers.
Funeral services were held from the
home yesterday afternoon and his re-
mains taken to Wapakoneta for tempor-
ary interment.

YOUNG Fl. RECOVERY
MAN DECLARED INSANE

Russell Stoner, age 10, of Ft. Re-
covery, was adjudged insane Monday
afternoon in probate court. Exam
lining physicians were DR.. w. G. Rob-
eson, of Ft. Recovery, and DR.. D. H.
Miller, of this city.
Teh unfortunate lad felt that he
was full of eectricity and while he
stemed rational part of the time, he
generally toked at random, that some
one was aways trying to kill him with
electricity. He narrated a trip to
Judge Younger, that he took around
the world, in an automobile, Stude-
baker body and Ford engine. The
trip he stated was made in one day
and was full of wonders and myster-
les.
Deputy Sheriff SCHNEIDER and Glen
Stoner, as assistant, took him to To-
ledo Hospital Tuesday morning.
