ARTIST ENDS HER
LIFE BY OWN HAND
Young Woman Refuses to Be
Argued Out Of Intention
by Friend.
SHOOTS SELF IN TEMPLE

San Francisco, Jan. 2l.-Miss Betty
De Jong, prominent member of the
San Francisco art colony and a
painter of International reputation,
died early today from a self-inficted
bullet wound in the head. The police
said today they had virtually complet-
ed their investigation of the case and
examination of DR.. William S. Porter,
well known physician Of Oakland,
who was in Miss DE Jong's studio
when she shot herself. After several
hours of questioning he was permitted
late last night to go to his home
An autopsy was performed today,
revealing, the police said, no new
facts. An inquest will be held in a
few days.
DR.. Porter told the police that his
relations with the young woman were
nothing more than those of two per-
sons mutually interested in art. He
is president OF the Alameda County
Art association. He met Miss De
Jong, he said, last year during the
Panama-Pacifc exposition. at which
she had several exhibits.
About three months ago, according
to DR.. Porter, he began sitting for a
portrait by Miss Dc Jong. He said
he was to have had a sitting yester-
day afternoon, but was unable to Keep
the engagement and called at the
studio to so inform the artist. Miss
De Jong, he said, asked him to re-
turn before going home. This he did
shortly after o'clock. Almost I'M
mediately after his arrival, the physi-
clan declares, Miss De Jong began
discussing suicide, all the while hold
ing small revolver. For three hours,
the physician said, he tried to per-
suade the young woman not to think
of such thing and endeavored to
have her fix her mind on her art and
future. Finally when he was about to
leave, he said. Miss De Jong shot her
self in the temple.

BUILD RIGHT LIFE,
is WORD TO GRADS
Rev. Titus Lowe, to Com
merce High Glass, Tells What
Their Aims Should Be.
MUST PRESS ON AND UP

Easily attained ambitions are will o
the wisps; youths dream are usually
mirages, and the real business of the
young man or woman, is not to make
fortune, keep out of the poor house
or gain a name, but to build a life,
Rev. Titus Lowe, pastor of the First
Methodist church, told members of
the mid-year graduating class of the
Omaha High School of Commerce
when he preached the baccalaureate
sermon yesterday morning.
Rev. Mr.. Lowe advised the young
people to emulate the Apostle Paul,
and keep the upgrade by pressing on.
They could not do better, he said,
then to hold toward life the everlast-
ing, winning attitude of Paul
Should Prefer the Home.
The Methodist pastor took rap
at women who seek careers, asserting
that, though he had no intention of
criticizing the type with bobbed hair,
skirts cut mot just right" whatever
way that is, he was glad that God
didn't make many of them. Most
women should and do prefer the home
career, he averred.
! Rev. Mr.. Lowe warned the gradu-
ates of what he termed moral pit
falls" The average young person, he
asserted, does not know of the long
reach of evil and its all powering grip.
ut is absolutely suicidal when young
people let one hour of passion over
turn a whole life's building of moral
character. You will never find real
joy in the heart of the manw no turns
his back on the ten commandments" !"
The practice of complimenting
young people too much when they
start out in the world and achieve
their first successes was deplored by
Rev. Mr.. Lowe.
One Dangerous Thing.
at is a dangerous thing to say TO
young people that they're getting
along fine he declared. Don't make
them think that they've reached their
goals early in life. They should keep
striving and pressing on like Paul.
Life has little time for towards and
bunglers."
Rev. Mr.. Lowe expressed a hope
that a new generation will grow up
in the United States that will make
impossible at Washington pork bar
rels and log-rollings.' He asserted
that he was strong believer in the cf-
hciency of old age

keep it clean as long as I'm in Office.
There are no ifs, I-didnt-know-such-
places-existed excuses, nor any hem
ming and having on my part. The lid

satisfied with living conditions in the
county Jail"

FUNSTON GIVES REASON

Washington, Jan. 2l-More than
$4,000 National Guardsmen now on
the Mexican border, have been desig-
mated by Major General Funston for
, return home and muster out of the
federal service.
All these organizations will be
started homeward as soon as trans
portation facilities can be provided.
Their departure will leave between
$4,000 and $4,000 men of the Guard
still in the federal service, doing
border patrol.
Nothing On Withdrawal.
War department officials continue
to withhold comment on reports that
the movement of General Pershing's
regulars out of Mexico soon will be
under way and the statement an
nouncing the Guardsmen are desig-
mated for relief does not CONNECT
these orders with the withdrawal
plans in any way. The understand
ing has been, however, that with the
return of the expedition in Mexico
and readjustment of the border pa
troll, all of the state troops gradually
would be sent home.
Follows Old Rule.
The departments statement said:
General Funston has selected these
organizations chiefly in accordance
with the rule of returning first those
longest i'll service on the border. To
some extent, however, this rule could
not be followed without unequal
weakening of the border guard and
the departures from it are so explain
ed. The total strength of the organi-
cations selected is 25,243."
