yesterday another ivas added to the long and harrowing number of De self murderers The criminal victim is John II Schnell a saloonkeeper in busi ness at 713 Woodward avenue and who re sided with his wife and two young children at 1458 Beaubien street Schnell was 28 years old his wife 21 and the children are a boy of 2 and a girl nearly 4 Nirs Schnell is in poor health and it is not Improbable that the tragedy may prove a double one Last summer Schnell resided at High land Park and was engaged In the milk business fHe wps fairly prosperous and had an excellent start in life for a young man but was eager to do better With this object in view he sold out his little prop erty lor $800 and purchased the saloon of Win Dingeman 737 Woodward avenue The expenses here were too great and he was engaged In removing to 713 Woodward when he seems to have become hopelessly despondent regarding his business affairs and committed the deed He seems to have had the matter in contemplation since the' previous day for he said to his bartender Charles Gritliri: "You needn't come down very early to morrow: open new location had not been wholly finished and when the carpenter came about 9 yesterday morning to do some additional work he found the pro prietor sitting in a chair with his head fallen forward upon his breast and appar ently asleep He went to him and discov ered tha? he was bleeding profusely from a wound in the head lie started'out to give the alarm and met the bartender at the door Returning the two men made a hasty examination and finding Schnell still alive Harpet hospital was notified and the unconscious tuan conveyed to that insti tution It was there found that he had shot himself with a revolver the shot en tering immediately behind the right ear and traversing the brain lateraHy He lingered untik 12:15 in and died without regaining conSelous nesssA The pistol with which the self murder was committed was found qt his side and two employes' of the plumbing firm of Wat kins Ji Radcliffe next door say they heard two pistol shots in the place about 8 In the morning They were about bait a minute apart and the first was doubt less a trial shot to test the weapon Coroner Beatcher was notified soon after the death and took charge of his effects Some letters were found One di rected that his body be given in charge of Undertaker Cavanagh the second that his wife be informed of the matter in as quiet a manner as'possible and the third a pathetic review of his hopes and disap pointments was addressed to his wife One passage says "iou will Know what trouble Aid Thompson as a member of ell committee on pounds made quiry yesterday as to when the killing institution at the foot of Eighteenth and a half street would be operation He found that been accepted by the board and that nlans had been stove that is to supply the gas for killing the canines by asphyxiation It Is expected that the wagons will be running next Thursday It is likely that the catchers will find plenty of game At this time last year $5uuo in dog taxes had been col lected while this year only about $1500 has been turned in from this source The city attorney has refused to take complaints against persons keeping dogs without li cense on the ground' that it would be im possible to take care of dogs that might be captured The result has been that the city is overrun with worthless curs whom nobody wants and who are a nuisance to everybody Memories play queer tricks as was il lustrated yesterday afternoon at the sec ond meeting of the council committee on streets to consider the matter of making a park out of the center of Washington avenue and creating a double roadway Van Husan was one of the pro moters of the plan and he came back from a two weeks vacation full of energy to push it He got up and said to Robert McMillan: "You have said that it was two years since you signed this petition for making a park of Washington avenue I am certain that it was not more than sixty days for it was I that got your signa Mr face got very red when everybody In the room laughed and he said: memory is perfectly sound and I know It is two years since I signed that is two years since you were first asked to sign but you did not do so until sixty days you remember our conversation this asked Mr McMillan I said that I was mistaken In saying that I hud signed three years ago that it was only two Van Husan did not remember things that way and the question of which memory was belter was left unsettled Commissioner McVicar was ready to give figures on the cost of paving the avenue if a double roadway were established but he said the park board had not supplied the required data as to the cost of beauti fying the grounds McVicar said that ac cording to the bids received lor repaving the avenue in its present shape the cost per foot for the different materials offered would be as follows: Cedar on concrete5 per foot front brick on concrete $6 65: asphalt $9 65 Mr McVicar explained that the latter was for Bermudez asphalt which some of the property owners and Aid Gru now desired to have laid The price offered for this was $2 48 per yard but the Trini dad firm offered $1 75 per yard The com missioner said that If the property owners would agree to pay for the paving he would withdraw all objections to the plan He said the city would be paying its share in having to reconstruct the intersections ot several streets crossing Washington ave nue It was announced that property owners who had been anxious to have the park 11 cost ably they Nl and to more about the cost before agree ing to a plan whereby the property owners were to be mulcted and Mr McMillan for his neighbor Nir Vier said that the lat ter would not agree to paying anything Martin Butzel a member of the congre gation of the Temple Beth El said that many of the older members of the congre gation were opposed to the park plan "If you want to make a business street of Washington said Mr Butzel "cut down the trees and make cordwood of them We want no ornamental spaces on a busi ness street You want the ground clear fur There was some telephoning for City Counselor Speed to get his opinion on the question as to whether the property own ers could be taxed for the paving in case the park plan were adopted and the road ways were made thirty feet on each side instead of having one 40 feet roadway in the center of the avenue as at The former plan would entail one half niore paving with a proportionate additional cost Aid Thompson remarked that It was strange that the committee should have to wait for legal advice when under the Re publican administration the city was pav ing $20000 in salaries fur its legal depart ment Speed finally came along and said he was not clear as to whether the property own ers would have to pay for the paving in case the roadways were changed He said the thing to be determined bus whether the charter provision saying that repaving should be aid by general taxation covered the case or not He cited several cases where streets had been widened when they were repaved and the property owners had been compelled to pay the cost of pavln" the new added surface This had been the case on cratiot avenue on Brush street aild ort street west The counselor wanted time to consult the authorities how f' wa? decided to give him a week V1 and to give the park board a chance to produce the required es timate of the cost of beautifying the spot 'J'itlAL MACHIN RY ERED ALD TATT ERSON The schooner James Blaine which went ashore on

revengeful God forgave his ene mies and so should Christians To for give an enemy was more than making a sacrifice or an offering There were con stant bickerings in the Baptist church NN hen any trouble occurred the practice was to stay away from the church to stop the subscription or to do something else equal ly foolish If the people W'ere spoken to about It they would say they had no re sentment that they did not counte nance anything wrong Christians would withdraw from the church when they did not find things to suit them they were not pleased with the Sunday school superin tendent with the chorister or with some one else orgiveness in the Bible sense of tne term was a lost art in tne Baptist church The unforgiving separated the in dividual from God The Baptist church throughout

there was in any of the other i churfthe HgdLXgnot bfilleve there could be no forgiveness until one was 'a for giving spirit It would be unscriptural The Christian should be always to for give It

people were like the rest There weie members of his cnurch who had said be fore witnesses that they wished they could cut out his entrails and hang them on a tree II Chapman recommended the Chris tian
