8 TITE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, AriUL 7, 1902. TARES POISON AND FLEES Bill Hill Vanishes After Drinking Plenty of Morphine. SO DECLARES ONE TOM HOOPLER rllrr Investigate the Story " After Von t haae Kind the Uomii and Try ate Her. Rill Hill, ss.ed 30, who lives In room 17 Id the apartment house at 30 North Six teenth strewt, drank four ounce of lauda num at 1 o'clock yesterday morning and then ran from her room to escape all attempts to save ber life. If the atorr Tom Hoopler told the police la true. Hoopler Is a waiter In the Vnlted Blatea restaurant and lived with the woman. When he went to room 17 at 1:15 o'clock this morning the woman -was there. He gave her a flower, when, according to Hoopler'! story, she said: "You can put this flower on my coffin, Tom." Hoopler says she hns been talking for tome days about killing herself and that they have had a number of quarrels. He says ebe bought an eight-ounce bottle of come dark liquid and, although he aays he taw the bottle, she kept It hidden from him. This was several days ago, and as nothing happened and she appeared to re cover from her depression he thought she bad given up the Idea of taking ber own life. At 1:15 o'clock yesterday morning, Hoopler aayt, when he found her in the room, she bad partly disrobed and had taken off her shoes. Bhe appeared In physical and mental distress and her eyes had assumed a glazed appearance. He handed her the flower, and when she made the remark about plac ing It on her coffin he says he recalled that she bad the bottle of dark liquid. He asked ber for It. Bhe at first decllaed to tell him, but finally showed It to him, with half Its contents gone. He aays she admitted drink ing it. "I then told her I waa going for a doctor," says Hoopler, "when she said she was not going to hafe a doctor try to save her life. I didn't answer, but ran down the hallway and stairs to the street and telephoned to the police station, saying a womaa had tried to commit suicide, giving the street num ber, and asked that a doctor be sent. When I returned to the room she was gone." Hoopler then waited at the entrance to the apartment house until the patrol wagon arrived wltb Sergeant Hudson and Police Burgeon Benawa. They, accompanied by Hoopler, who appeared to show genuine interest in aiding the officers, searched the room, all the hallways, alleys, back yards and outbuildings in the immediate vicinity, without finding trace of the woman. Hoop ler said ahe could not have gone Into any of the other rooms In the apartment bouse. The police believe this, as any one learning ber supposed condition would not bave given her shelter without giving notice of the fact. Dr. Benawa says everything seems to In dicate that liquid taken was laudanum, and as the bottle, half filled when Hoopler last saw it, bad also disappeared, she prob ably carried It with ber In her flight. The woman la 6 feet 8 inches tall, weighs about 160 pounds, baa light complexion, blue eyes and dark hair. At a late hour In the morning the womaa waa found by Sergeant Hudson wandering on the street near the corner of Sixteenth and Chicago streets. She waa taken to the police station, where she admitted having drunk morphine In liquid form. She aays the poison sickened her and she threw it up. Dr. Benawa says he believes her lite la not now In danger. Amusements. At the Boyd. Mr. N. C. Goodwin and Miss Maxlne El liott, under the direction of Oeorge J. Applet on, in "An American Citizen." a comedy In four acta by Madeline Laicette Kyley. The cast: He res ford ruger of Baxbury, Brown & Cruier. afterward called Carew n. v.. uoonwin Peter Barbury J. R. Crauford Kgerton brown K. H. Tyler Blr Humphrey bunn F. O. Hayly Willie bunn Fred Tlden Otto Stroble S. M. Hall l,uca J. Yates 61ms Neil O'Brien Servant L. E. Woodthorpe Corola Chapln Alice Ingram I,adv Bunn Florence Haverlelgh Georgia Chapln Gertrude Gheen Annette Susanne Ferry Mercury Master Willie Sheedy Beatrice Carew Maxlne Elliott As not Infrequently happens, the best was reserved for the last by Mr. Goodwin and his players. "An American Citizen" Is by far the best conatructed play, with the pos sible exception of "In Mlzzoura," this pop ular actor has ever undertaken. It Is so much stronger In its dramatic possibilities, o much superior from both a literary and an acting standpoint than "When We Were Twenty-One" that there is no ground for reasonable comparison. The story of the piece Is interesting, probable and told In a rational way, at no point depending tor effect on accessories. Mr. Goodwin's part In It, well remem bered here, is an amplification of the char acter he assumed in "A Gilded Fool," and really affords him little- room for new ef forts. Yet it is one which fits htm well and ha makes it entertaining In the ex treme. One excellent indication of his growth aa an actor Is afforded by hia treat ment of the pathetic passages. He no longer Indulges, as was bis wont. In liberties with tbe situations, and Instead of guying give genuine Interpretation to the soften emotions. This is a distinct advance, and marks his Increase in breadth as a come dian. Mlaa Elliott finds much more to do In "An American Citizen" than In others of tbe playa ahe has appeared In. Her ad vance, too, is noticeable. It waa In this part ah was Introduced to Omaha, and. truth to tell, she was little mora than an animated doll since then. Her experience baa been of some advantage, though, and wlille she does not attain to all the part, admits she certainly makes It more worthy of watching than she did.

ALSO AN OVERLAP OF FIFTY THOUSAND City Officials and Employes Will Have ta Walt t nlll Next Tax Is Col lected Before Drawing; Salaries. The city of Soutb Omaha is out of funds. By the pssssge on Friday night by the council of tbe appropriation sheet every cent in the funds secured by the levy of 1901 was paid out. In addition to this there I an overlap of not less than $50. 000. Every city fund Is now In the red Ink column and will be for tome time to come. The new city council will have prac tically no funds to work on and the mem bers, Including the mayor, will be forced to worry along without salaries until tbe new levy Is available. This Is probably the first time In the history of the city that the salary fund bas been exhausted before tbe change in administrations. Firemen and policemen were hawking warrants about the streets yesterday, but they could not find any one willing to run the chances of advancing money on city paper at this time. Of course It la un derstood that a portion of the overlap men tioned has been caused by the payment of former overlap out of the funds available from the 1901 levy. There will be no ready money for the new council to handle until the middle of the summer, when the Board of Review complete its labors and the tax commis sioner turns In his final report. In speaking of the condition of the city yesterday a business man who pays heavy taxes said: "The city at this time is in a worse financial condition thai It ever bas been. This, in my opinion, is due to a great extent to the policy ot Mayor Kelly and some of the member of the council. Of course some Judgments bave bad to be paid, but the running expenses of the city have been increased to an extent far beyond the income. Another thing is tbe fact tflat the overlap bas been Increased and no attempt bas been made by the Kelly administration to decrease it." Improving street Car Servlee. While the county commissioners have ap propriated a certain sum of money to be expended on the grading of South Thir teenth street in order that the street car line which now ends at Canton street may be extended, there is no certainty that tbe extension will be completed until late In the summer. Members of the East Side Im provement club and the South Side Im provement club of Omaha have been urging that this line be extended ao as to connect with the Missouri avenue line. The first thing was to place the street In condition for tbe laying of rails and this I now being done at tbe expense of the county. An offi cer of the street railway company satd yes terday, in talking to a Bee reoorter. that tbe work of relaying tracks In the northern part of Omaha would take some little time and when that was completed the old rail on Vinton street, from Sixteenth to Twen tieth streets, would be replaced wltb heavy rails. By laying heavy rail on Vinton street the entire South Omaha line will be equipped with heavy rail and the servlee will bo greatly Improved. After the Vinton street work is completed the force will be sent to the Thirteenth street extension. Jones Oeta Basy. Sanitary Inspector Jones was engaged Saturday In Issuing order for a general cleaning up. Over forty notice were served on property owner and the work will be continued for week or more.

' BOERS COUNT ON HORSE EXHAUSTION erwt of lletlrf In I Itlmnte Victory I the F.nd of the Kqnlne Market, ott In Sight. (Copyright. 1902. by Tress Publishing Co.) LONDON, April 6. (New York World Cablegram Special TeU gram.) The ex pectation of peace resulting from the pres ent negotiations Is steadily waning. The Boer leaders In (he field are still Irre concilably opposed to surrendering their Independence, It Is said in official quartets here. At the same time it is an unmistakable fact that the British government Is far more anxious now to come to terms th.in at the beginning of the summer campaign. This anxiety Is due In part to a desire tbtt the coronation snould be preceded by peace, but In a far greater degree to the Increas ing gravity of Lord Kitchener's position, owing to the steady lessening ot tbe re mount supplies. Tbe Australian horses are evidently use less, while the Argentine animals, even after six months acclimating, which (he wastage and pressure at the front render Impracticable, are little better, and the European supplies are becoming exhausted. So England's reliance now is mainly on American sources. Dr. Leyds has agents wherever England Is buying horses, and the calculations and plans of the Boer generals are largely based on the Information he Is sending them on the steady exhaustion of the avail able horse market of the world. That Is the secret of the Boer belief In ultimate victory. The sensation caused by the atrocities of tic Australian irregulars has been deepened by the studiously bald and be lated official avowal of the war office. The policy of concealment having failed, it Is bitterly resented by the Jingo press and the statements published lndlcatin that horrors on a far larger scale than the dry official pronouncement implies are iu cluded In the wholesale ill treatment and murder of Boer women and children. It is freely suggested In conversations here that these criminal excesses by the Australians illustrate the doctrine of atavism, the ringleaders coming from the colonies which were originally convict settlements. Theso admitted barbarities obviously are the foundation for the continental accusa tion which Conan Doyle claimed he dis proved in his recent pamphlet. KING ALFONSO VENTS SPITE Criticise Iten-spapers for Sllahtlng HI Coronation for Klnig Edward's. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) MADRID, April 6.
