POLICE SERGEANT ENDS LIFE WITH GAS Zoll Brooded Over His Inability to Pay Hospital Bill of $175. WIFE FINDS BODY IN BATHTUB. Zoll Owed L. I. College Hospital and Was Threatened With Suit--Had A Fine Record.

Covering with a blanket the bottom of the bathtub in his apartments at 170 Court street, Sergeant John W. Zoll of the harbor police service, put the free end of a tube leading from a gas cock into his mouth and inhaled the g8.3 until he was dead. He was found at 6 o'clock this morning by his wife. It is thought, by those who knew him well, that he killed himself because mentally deranged by continual worriment over his financial affairs. According to Mrs.

Zoll their troubles began last August, when her husband was operated upon for appendicitis at the Long Island College Hospital. The charge of $18 per week, the un- derstood, covered all medical attendance, but it appears he was mistaken, for a biil totaling $175 was sent him. Although the operation was successful, the heavy expense incurred worried Zoll greatly. He delayed paying the bill and Mrs. Zoll said this morning that her husband had been notifled that if the claim was not settled by November 6 suit would be brought.

Realizing the notoriety that would re- sult from such an affair Sergeant Zoll promised to pay the money, something he was really unable to do. These worries, together with anxiety over his physical condition, fearing that he would be unable to earn a living for his family if the incisions made by the surgeon's knife should reopen or his bronchial trouble develop seriously, were, it is claimed, directly responsible for his self-destruction. Police Surgeon Walter Brouner and Dr. William Hutchinson of 205 Clinton street, the family physician, held a consultation two weeks ago Saturday, which resulted in the police doc- tor ordering the officer to report sick and go home and rest. Had Sergeant Zoll lived another month he would have been seventeen years a policeman.

For nearly ten years he was a patrolman in the Amity street precinct. and from there was transferred to the Adams street station, where he patrolled for two years. From the Adams street precinct he was sent to the Grand avenue district 88 a sergeant, five years ago. After two years of duty there he was assigned to the harbor service. Hig superiors are unable to recall ever having received complaints against him, and except when he appeared as a witness, his face was never seen in the trial room.

He was the father of four children, three girls and a boy, the oldest of whom 's May, 16 years old. Zoll was 41 years old. Children loved him dearly, and ne delighted to invite a crowd of them to his home for a good time. His last litile party to the youngsters of the neighborhood, the celebration of Halloween, is still fresh in the minds of the entire neighborhood in the center of which he had his abode. INOCULATION FOR TYPHOID.

Engineers' Club Hears Lecture on How It Is Done in Army. In drawing a deadly parallel between the methods in use and their respective results in typhoid inoculation, as done in the Army of the United States and 'among New York City's poor, Captain Robert S. Allyn stated some interesting facts in his talk, last night, at the Brooklyn Engineers', Club, 117 Remsen street, on "The United States Army Camp in Texas." The captain stated that every soldier and civilian connected with the troops at this encampment had to be inoculated with typhoid prophylactic, that out of 14,000 troops in camp at San Antonio during the Mexican Revolution, there was but one case of typhoid and that was contracted by a civilian teamster in the town vi San Antonio, and he had not been inoculated. Each trooper is given three "shots" at intervals from seven to ten days, and from the care used in administering the "dope" there is very little resulting sickness. infection or proud flesh.

Here in Brooklyn and Manhattan, the captain said, where the finest doctors and medical attention are cases of infection and sickness, resulting supposed to be found, a there are many from these inoculations, among the children of the schools and the poor of the tenements. Captain Allyn showed some very interesting pictures of scenes of army camp life, one group of officers showing the familiar faces of Herman A. Metz, Colonel Barthman, Major Baldwin, Captain Morris, Captain Scott and other offers known in local military circles. New York State's allotment of officers was thirty men, of which number New York City furnished sixteen men, and eleven were from Brooklyn. The clubhouse was well filled, and chorus singing, led by E.

H. Blunt, the director of the glee club and orchestra of the engineers, was indulged in for an hour preceding the lecture. REFEREES APPOINTED. By Garretson, J. -Matter of U.

Teutons Relinquish "Duck's Bill" and Get Tract in the Northern Congo. Paris, November 3-The contents of the Franco- German accord officially given out today show that Germany recognizes the right of France to establish a protectorate in Morocco, while both nations engage to obtain the adhesion to this accord of the other signatories to the Algeciras agreement.

France as compensation for German recognition of her protectorate in Morocco, cedes to Germany about 250,000 square kilometers in northern French Congo, touching the German Kameruns. The territory ceded is Inhabited by about 1,000,000 negroes, and has a commerce valued at $2,400,000 annually. The new German frontier 'starts at Monda Bay and extends to the Sanga River, thence to Kandeko, thence through the Congo, Anally attaining Lake Tehad by way of the Ubanga and Logone rivers. France retains the right to run railroad lines across German territory so as to connect the different parts of French Central Africa. The accord does not affect.

Togoland, but Germany cedes her "Duck's bill," a tract so called from its shape, extending from the Chari River to the Logone River. France and Germany agree to submit to the Hague Tribunal all difficulties arising from the operation of the accord. In reference to Morocco, France agrees to safeguard the economic equality and commercial liberty for which provision is made in existing treaties. The only reference to commercial rights in the ceded territory is the mutual agreement to take over the rights and obligations in connection with the companies holding concessions there. GERMAN MINISTERS RESIGN IN CHAGRIN Berlin, November 3-The revelation of dissensions in the Government on the eve of the Moroccan debate in the Reichstag has greatly weakened the positions of Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and the Foreign Secretary, Herr von Kider- Waechter.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies, Dr. today renewed his request that his resignation tendered last summer be accepted. Later in the day the Chancellor requested all audience with the Emperor, to whom, according to an inspired statement, he recommended the immediate acceptance of Dr. Lindequist's resignation. The Colonial Seeretary asked during the summer that he be permitted to retire because of his dissatisfaction over the compensation which Germany was to receive for certain concessions to France in Morocco.

The Emperor refused to relase him because the Franco-German negotiations were pending. Last Saturday Dr. Lindequist denied that he intended to withdraw from the Cabinet. The Chancellor of the Colonial Herr von Danckelmann, also resigned today, and it is believed that the explanation in his case will also be found in dissatisfaction over the German compensation.
