DAVIS TRIES SUICIDE. The Fifth Avenue Burglar's Efforts to End His Life. Broke Up a Brass Buckle and Swa.l.5-ved the Pieces. Attempted to Shoot Hlmielf at the Time of lit. Arrest.

Despite the efforts of Supt. Byrnes and Inspector McLaughlin to conceal the fact, It leaked out this murnlns that Frank Davis, alias Sinclair, the burglur who was arrested at midnight Thursday, on leaving the residence of Arthur D. Graves, President of the St. Nicholas Bank, 7 West Fifty-ninth street, hod attempted to commit suicide in his cell at Police Headquarters. Davis himself acknowledged the fact this morning to an "Evening World" reporter who had an Interview with him, through the courtesy of Warden Fallon, in the Tombs.

The story ns told by Central Olllce Detective Price, who made the arrest, differs very materially from the prisoner's version, which seems to conllrm his confession of attempted suicide. Davis, according to Detective Price, was armed with a long revolver and attempted to use it upon the ofllcer when he waa arrested. "I knew," said Davis this morning, "that it was all up with mo once I got into the clutches of the police, because I had upon me sufficient evidence to convict me of ceveral robberies, I had determined long ngo to die rather than be Imprisoned, and I never felt in a more desperate mood than Thursday "The bullets fired at me while scaling the fence In the rear of President Graves's residence satisfied me that my visit had been anticipated. I felt that the household would bo awakened. There waa no alternative but to enter the house and attempt to escape by the front entrance.

The chances of success were desperate, but had no other recourse. "Once inside I Btopped a few minutes to consider. I believed that there were police outside, and felt that I would bo arrested the moment I opened the door. "I knew that arrest meant a long term of Imprisonment, and, being In poor health, I could not live through It. I determined to kill myself In the hallway, and took my revolver out with that in tention.

"I even went bo far as to cock It nnd place the muzzle to my temple. Then It occurred to me that while there was life there was hope, and I concluded to run the gauntlet and end my life In another way should I be apprehended. "I walked down the steps and stood for a moment, but saw no one. Then I started down the street and midway In the block Detective Price stepped out and placed a revolver at my head with the remark, 'Tou aro my "I drew my revolver, not for the purpose of injuring the officer, because I felt that to shoot him would avail me nothing-, but for the purpose of killing myself. "ell was quicker than however, and got the revolver away from me.

"I was tnken directly to Police Headquarters and sent downstairs to a cell. My pockets were stripped of everything. I knew from the remarks of the officers that I could oxpect no mercy; that they had pjenty of evidence to convict mo of three robberies at least, nnd I deter mined again to end my life. "I had no knife, not even a key, and I was for a time baffled. Finally, on taking off my coat and vest to lie down it occurred to me that I might open an artery with the sharp edge of my suspenders buckle.

"The guard kept passlntr up and down In front of my cell, and I knew that he would detect and probably frustrate such a plan, and so I determined upon another. "I broke the buckles, which were of; brass, Into small pieces and swallowed them five pleceB In all. I hoped that they might lacerato my intestines) and cause blood poisoning, resulting In eath. The laBt piece of the buckle was three-quarters of an inch long and had sharp teeth on the edge. It lodged In my throat and I could not get It down.

"I asked the guard for ft piece of Dread, which he gave me, and by that means I forced the piece of buckle down. Then I told him what I had done, and a physician was summoned, but he did not do anything for me. He saM that an optnatlon must be per-lormed, but that nothing would be done at present. "My suspenders were then taken away and the brass buttons cut off from my Pantaloons, "I have not as yet felt any 111 effects JJtctpt an occasional spasm of pain, but I know that the critical moment Is not for off. I Davis's eyes looked glass and his LV h.m,E!e.x!.'n.

A lHlKJitlon thnt threatens to dlprupt the Oestcrrelch-I'ngarlscher Jnetrer Bund, mutual benefit association, with local membership of about 700, which IncludeB some of the wenllhlest und best known residents tho cant side, has i been commenced In tho Superior Court. The Association Is composed of seven I companies, each of which lino separate officers and meeting places. There 1.4 a central body, composed of ilelCK.ites from the several companies, which makes tho general rules and arbitrates nil disputes arlstntr In or between tho subordinate bodies. The exercise of tho authority vested In this centnil body lino occasional great deal of satisfaction of late, with thu result. It Is fald, that few of the older and more Influential members determined upon a plan to unite the companies Into one body under the same rules and principles of government, thus filaclng every member upon equal fuot-ng, arforlng Hitiul prlvtlescs, and giving an opportunity for all tn be heard upon any question that mlnht urlso In tho Association.

On April 14 last, nfter considerable agitation, which caused more or les Ill-feeling, a committee wnB appointed by the Chairman of tho central lody tn formulate a plan of action whereby tho (even companies could be merged Into one. The committee was required to rermrt nt the next meeting. Tho report, however, was not sub-mttttd until May and It was In favor of merging the companies Into one general body. The utmost Interest, It appears, was felt In the report, and, as a consequence, thero wns full attendance of reprcsen- tatlves. After the reading of the report the President stated thnt It would be considered as having been rend twice.

In order to conform with the by-laws, which require that all amendments muHt be Hlgned by ten members and rend at two consecutive meetings. Philip Kraomer oppnsed tho President's ruling and submitted wiltten protest, whereupon the PreMdrnt appointed a commit ten to Investigate the legality of the proceeding. On May Mr. Krnemer, who Is tho principal opponent of the consolidation scheme, fecured an Inltmetlon from Justice Andrews, In Supreme Court, restraining tho Association from taking any action to merge the companies Into one. nnd also from drawing uiwmi thn fund of J3.SI0 In h-ink to the As sociatlnn's credit to pay endowments or rick benefits.

Yefterdny A. B. Jaworower as counsel for the Association, obtained an order from Justice Patterson, returnable next Monday, to show cause why thu Injunction should not bo st aside. There are many demands upon the Association for sick benefits, but none of them can be paid while the Injunction stands, and morn litigation, nn this account. Is likely to result.

The feeling Is bl'ter, and vhlchever way the court decides, the result will. In probability, be the same--thi total disruption of the Society. m-m YOUNG PREACHER GETS A YEAR.
