DEATH JN A SCHOOL
Headmaster of Bishop Scott's
Kills Himself.
DESPONDENCY, THEN SUICIDE
Bccansc e Was Not Ite-cns-aBea as
Instrnctor, Eugene I. Schaefer
Sends a Bullet Through
His Brain
Unhappy because he had been told that
he could nofbe engaged as .Instructor for
another year In the Bishop Scott Academy,
Eugene Luclen Schaefer, the senior mas
ter, committed suicide In the general
classroom yesterday morning about 8:45
o'clocX by shooting himself In the mouth
with a revolver. He died instantly. Rea
sons of economy a3one moved the school
authorities to dlspenss with Mr. Schae
fer's services.
Mr. 'Schaefer was 56 years old, and was
married, and lived with, his wife at 655
Flanders etreet. He vxxs born at Naza
reth, Pa., and 15 years ago came to Ore
gon and accepted an appointment as a
member of the teaching staff at the
Bishop Scott Academy. At the reorgan
ization -of the academy-one year ago, when
Dr. Hill retired from the prlnclpalshlp,
Mr. Schaefers friends hoped at that time
be would be appointed head of the Insti
tution. However, A. C. Newill took
charge, Mr. Schaefer continuing as eenior
master. (During th existence of the acad
emy u-nder the new Teglme it 'has been ex
cellently managed, but has not. been a
Dnanclal success on account of the small
number of pupils who applied for Instruc
tion. .Last Thursday the 'school trustees
Df the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
Oregon met and discussed plans for the
future management of the Bishop Scott
Academy on a paying baMs. In-the mean
time Mr. Schaefer had made application
for re-election, but in view of the finan
cial shortage it was decided that no more
highly paid instructors could possibly be
re-engaged for the ensuing year. In con
veying the decision of the board, the sec
retary, Mr. John K. Kollock, wrote Mr.
Schaefer this letter last Thursday:
Mr. Eugene I. Schaefer, Bishop Scott Acad
emy, city Dear Sir: Jt is with much regret
that I am compelled to inform you that the
board of trustees has resolved that it would
be impossible to engage you for the coming
school year. This action has been taken with
entire appreciation of your ability and of your
valuable services to the school, and is due
solely to the fact that the finances of the board
do not warrant the engagement of any high
priced Instructors. A committee has been ap
pointed to arrange for a proper testimonial,
and will communicate with you within a few
days. I remain, dear sir, yours, very truly,
JOHN K. KOLLOCK. Secretary.
The letter arrived at Mr. Schaefer's
house last Saturday morning, and after
reading it he handed it to his wife with
out saying a word and started to leave the
house. Mrs. Schaefer detained him and
spoke cheering words of counsel.
"Walt a bit. Things will come all right
yet," she eald, bravely. Her comforting
words had the desired effect, and her hus
band's gloomy fit seemed to pass away at
that time. Yesterday morning Mr. Schae
fer left home about the usual hour to re
sume his duties as master at the Bleho-p
Scott Academy without as much as con
veying a hint about the terrible purpose
he must have had in mind. The cadets
have a short period in the study hall of
the institution from 8:20 to 8:45 o'clock 1
every morning, and Principal Newill gen
erally presides at the desk for the first 10
minutes after 8:20 o'clock until Mr. Schae
fer arrives. But yesterday morning at
the tfcne Indicated Mr. NewIU was absent
discussing a matter of business with one
of the school trustees, and A. E. Bernays,
one of the masters, took charge of the
school -during- the interim referred to.
Punctual to the minute, Mr. Schaefer ar
rived at 8:30 o'clock. He was apparently
composed in demeanor, and was dressed
with his usual scrupulous care. "Good
morning,"1! said Mr. Bernays, pleasantly,
and Mr. Schaefer answered in a some
what listless manner. Mr. Bernays
thought nothing of this, supposing that
his frierfl did not feel well, and Jokingly
spoke about a "secret cupboard" which
Mr. Schaefer at that moment unlocked
and took from Jt some papers and a. gong.
He made no response, however, to Mr.
Bernays remark, and Mr. Bernays left
the room, little dreaming that he would
never see Mr. Schaefer alive again.
A boy named Clarence D. Xovell, one of
he academy pupils, is excused from
chapel service, and he remained in the
room with Mr. Schaefer, "The clocks
must be fast this morning," remarked
Mr. Schaefer, and then he added: "Go
Into the hall and Usten for the telephone
bell, and tell me when it rings." He
doubtless wished to get rid of the boy, so
that bo could be alone at the terrible mo
ment Trhen he took his life. The boy
obeyed, and remained In the hall "until the
cadets came from the service in the
chapel, an Interval of about 15 minutes
No report of a revolver Teached the lisl
tenlng boy; but In that time Mr. Schaefer
had fired tie lata! shot. The Janitor work
ing in the manual training school stated
afterward that he thought he heard a
dull report, but thought It was a noise in
the street. The Lovell boy then walked
into the room where he had left Mr.
Schaefer, and found him motionless in his
chair. Under the Impression that the
senior master bad fainted, the boy gave
the alarm, and then it became known that
Mr. Schaefer had killed himself.
Before the dead man. lay a sealed letter 4
oirectea to his wife, and on his knees lay
the revolver with which he' had committed
aulclde. The letter to Mrs. Schaefer was
afterward, found to be as follows:
My Dearest Janet: Tou have always been
kind and good, and noble and true. The ter
rible wrong done me by a conscienceless school
board has left me sick and heartbroken and
brain maddened. Good-bye, dear.
There was no signature. Principal New
ill was communicated" with bv telephone
by his wife, and on learning about trie 1
irageay ne nurned to Mr. Kollock's office
to get legal advice as to the law officers
with whom be ought to communicate.
The police and Coroner's officials were no
tified, and Mr. Newill walked to the acad
emy and learned the nature of the sad
occurrence. On hearing that Mrs. Schae--fer
had not been told what had happened,
Mr. Newill, accompanied by a mutual
friendr called on Mrs. Schaefer. The lat
ter was too sick to see her visitors, but
on being told that Mr. Newill had some- i
xning important to communicate she
agreed to the Interview. Her husband's
last message wag handed to her in the
sealed envelope, and she broke the seal
little dreaming of the nature of its con
tents. In concern, she asked what had
happened, and as tenderly as possible the
visitors told her. "Women friends arrived
and took care of her.
The Coroner's inquest into the case took
place yesterday afternoon, and witnesses
were examined as to the above facts. Mr.
Ko!lockwas examined, and he told about
the letter he had written Mr. Schaefer;
and. the letter was read to the Jury. "The
letter was mailed about 2 o'clock Friday,"
proceeded the witness. "Mr. Schaefer
called to gee me Saturday morning and
stated he thought that a great injustice
had been done him in -the matter, and
thought be should have1 bten reappointed.
He seemed to be a little nervous at' the
time. It was difficult to know, however,
what his feelings were. I told him he had
better see the othr members of the
board, and that It was purely on account
of the financial condition of the school
that he could not be reappointed."
In giving hfe eidence. Mr. Bernays said
In part: "Mr. Schaefer ypoke to mt last
Saturday, referring to what he called his i
dismissal. He did not appear to be men
tally depressed, but- he seemed to feel it
keenly. He told me he intended to see
other members of the school board about
the chatter. .1 tried to persuade him that
he could not look upon it in the light of a
dismissal. It seems to me that Mr. Schae.
fer had been quiet and reserved since he
recently suffered from an attack of the
grip. He was a man who did not show
his feelings very much."
The medical autopsy showed that the
bifilet entered through the back of Mr,
Schaefer's mouth and lodged in his brain.
The Jury decided that Mr. Schaefer com
mitted suicide by shooting himself while
suffering from a nervous, greatly weak
ened and depressed mental condition,
"which condition had been caused by se
vere illness, followed by business disappointment."
DENIED BY SEARS.
Motion to Strike Out Part of Com
plaint in L-imber Suit.
In the suit of the Pacific Mill Com
pany against Inman, Poulsen & Co., to
recover $240,000 damages. Judge Sears yes
terday denied a motion to strike out a
considerable part of the complaint. The
Pacific Mill Company for cause of action
alleges that Inman, Poulsen & Co. oub
scrlbed for stock in the mill and agreed
to make regular shipments of lumber to
the Hawaiian Islands, and afterwards re
fused to do so or take the 'stock. The
mill company set forth at length In. the
complaint that It would have realized
large profits on cargoes of Oregon pine
lumber, which It is charged were not sent
as per agreement and large damages, be
cause of loss of these profits, are de
manded. In fact, these allegations make
up a principal part of the complaint.
Judge Cake, as counsel "for the defense,
moved to strike out all these parts of
the complaint as too remote, and argued
that the contention that large profits
would have been realized was mere specu
lation. Judge Sears decided to alfow the com
plaint to stand, holding that proof may
sustain the averments concerning loss of
profits, but saitl that he -did not Intend his
decision in this respect to bind the trial
Judge.
DIVORCE SUITS.
Carr Case Dismissed Mrs. Allison
Granted a Separation.
The contested divorce suit of Mabel E.
Carr against Robert Carr was dismissed
by Judge Sears yesterday, who decided
that both parties are at fault. The parties
were married In Portland In 18SS. and have
two children. Mrs. Carr, besides asking
for a divorce, demanded a division of cer
tain real property. Judge Sears held that
the charge of desertion made by Mrs.
Carr was not established by the evidence,
and, after reviewing the case otherwise,
decided that there was no ground for di
vorce. The-court said it was not sufficient
that the parties concluded that they could
not live together. This case was stub
bornly contested by bothi parties, the trial
lasting several days. The Carrs lived at
Holbrook, and afterwards in Polk County.
Mrs. Carr was formerly a schoolteacher.
Alice Geneva Allison was granted a di
vorce from Thomas J. Allison by Judge
George yesterday on the ground of gross
and habitual drunkenness on the part- of

pelled to leave him In the year 1S96. Her

GOOD FUN AT Y. JW. C. A.
3IIXSTRELS ENTERTAIN LARGE AND
APPRECIATIVE CROWD.
Jolces Come Fast and Furious Grand
Triumphal Entry and. Artistic
Acrobatics.
The minstrel show at the T. M. C. A.
auditorium last evening was a howling
success, and the large audience was thor
oughly appreciative. The entertainment
was opened with a pianoforte selection by
Professor George Houghton, after which
SJdnev Beck, Sam Jordan, Fred Jones
and Charles Ringler did the grand over
ture, entitled "The Tale of a Bumble Bee."
These blackened gentlemen were very
amusing, and their antics were Quite
clever.
The triumphal entry and grand march
of the funmakers then began, and Inter
locutor M. M. Ringler soon had Tils "coons"
ranged In the usual minstrel show fash
ion. Jokes, songs, and other stunts of
high degree followed, and the Jolly fun
makers kept things in an Uproar for near
ly ari hour.
The second part of the programme In
cluded ring and trapeze work by VIggers
and Leffler, a melody of popular songs by
the "Pickaninny" quartet, and various
musical and trrmnastic numbers. The
tumbling by "VIggers and Bailey was es
pecially nne, ana tne comic coon sketch
by Beck and Davis delighted the audience.
The whole show was good, Professor Ring
ler and his local talent furnishing as
amusing an entertainment as Portland has
seen in many a day.
SAVAGE LEAVES TOWN.
Illness of His Mother Calls Him to
Denver.
It is stated that Charles Savage, who
was. acquitted Saturday on the diamond
robber charge, left Sunday evening for
Denver to see his mother, who is again
vers sick. The excuse given by Savage
for .going away on November 22. 1901, five
days after the diamonds were stolen, was
that his mother was- ill. The authorities
thought this was a mere pretext on his
part to account for his stldden departure,
but at his trial he proved that he went
to his mother's bedside, and that she was
attended by four physicians. His haste
to leave here again Is commented upon,
but the reason appears to be the same as
it was before.
Frankie Thomas is still in JaiJ, on a
charge of receiving stolen goods, and
cannot be tried before June 18, as the
Jury has been discharged until that date.
She will have to remain in confinement
in the meantime, unless she can give ball.
-which It is understood she will try to
do. Deputy District Attorney John Man
ning says he will not dismiss the case,
but that she must stand trial. Tester
day on motion' of Mr. Manning Judge
Sears made an order that the diamonds
which have been recovered and which
were Introduced In evidence, be returned
to their owner, Albert Lowenthal.

a mile above this place, and enjoyed a

"What JIaJor D. E. Hall, General Claim Agent for O. R. & N. Co., says about Dr.
B. E. "Wright as a dentist.
I wore partial plates for many years ox tried to wear them, both upper and
lower, with a great deal of discomfort to me. until about six years ago. 1 called
on Dr. B. E. Wright, to have an aching tooth extracted, but he didn't extract it.
He treated the tooth and relieved me of my pain and explained to me that he
could do bridge work for me and do away with my wearing plates.
I gladly consented and the doctor did the work; it has proven all he claimed for
It, and more, too.
Six years have passed and during that time I have enjoyed eating vas I had not
for years previous, and the work is Just as good todav as It was when he first
placed it in my mouth, and I shall ever feel grateful to him for the valuable service
he rendered me. I pan conscientiously recommend any one who is in need of den
tal services to call and see the doctor, as I am sure he will do exactly as he says,
and hla ability as a dentist is unquestioned. D. E. HALL.
