Dspondney Ovr Finanoial Trouble
Lead to Suicide,
Seatle, Wash, June 1. Captain D,
Wheeler, who for 60 years has sailed
the Pacific, died a suicide's death in
Wayside Mission hospital yesterday,
Two days before, as these dispatches
have told, Captain Wheeler swallowed
a mixture of opium and whisky. The
physicians found him In a dying con
dltlon. They worked with him, and
he began to rally to such an extent
that they thought he would recover.
He grew worse yesterday, and died
from the effects of the poison. He was
76 years old.
Despondency caused by financial
troubles and lack of employment is
given as the cause of the rash act
Wheeler had $35,000 worth of property
In Los Angeles, Cat. He allowed It to
become Involved In litigation. At last
he gave a power of atorney to a young
lawyer In California to dispose of the
property at 116,800. 'Wheeler sent a
signed deed for the property, the name
to be filled In by the attorney. Wheeler
received no money nor reply to a num
ber of letters sent there. He finally
brooded over the loss which he be
lieved he had sustained until he became
mentally unbalanced. Then he took
the poison. ,
Captain Wheeler wrote to a married
daughter, the wife of a millionaire at
Manila, P. I, telling his troubles. The
daughter begged her father to return
to her, and she sent him a ticket He
could not bear to be dependent upon
some one else, and sought death rather
than face his poverty. His age kept
him from getting a ship as master.
There Is scarcely an old seafaring
man on the coast wha does not know
Wheeler. They will see that he gets
a respectable burial,
