ISAAC HYMANTHE VICTIM OF

ESCAPING GASA Prominent Merchant Found

Dead in His Bedroom UnderStrange Circumstances.

The Chandelier Was Torn Down, ButFriends Think This Was an Accident,

the Result of a Paroxysmof Apoplexy.

ISAACHTMAX,the Junior member of

the wholesale clothing firm of Stiner,Strauss & Hyman, was found deadyesterday morning at his residence, "17

Leavenworth street. That he committed

suicide is considered by the authoritiesas probable, although hip friends and rela-tives scorn the idea that he deliberatelyended hie life.

His dead body was found yesterday

morning by Mrs. Sarah Shoots, the land-lady of the house in which he livedfor the past fifteen years. Aswas her usual custom, she knock-ed at his room door at 7 o'clock,but, receiving no response, ?he concludedto postpone calling Mr. Hyman until 9o'clock, thinkingat the time that he wasfatigued. She again called him at 9o'clock, but met with the same result. Sheimmediately came to the conclusion thatHyman was either too sick to answe? orthat he had been stricken with apoplexy.She obtained a duplicate key to the roomand succeeded in effecting an entrance.

As she opened the door she was almostovercome by escaping gas. She immedi-ately ran to the street, where she attract-ed the attention of Dr. Van Meter, whowas passing the premises at the time.

Upon investigation the body of Hymanwas prononuced dead by the doctor, whoimmediately notified the Coroner.

"When the deputies from the Morgue ar-rived they found that the chandelier Inthe middle of the rcom had been entirelyremoved. The doors and transom weretightly closed, indicating that death wasdeliberate and not accidental.

Although the relatives of the deceasedmerchant maintain that the chandelierfpll and was not removed the fact re-mains that if it fell the globes on itwouldhave been broken and the connecting jointshattered. On the contrary, they were ina perfect state when found, one of theglobes having apparently been taken offthe chandelier and placed under the bedbefore the latter was removed.

When found the body was lying at thefoot of the bed with 'the head recliningon a small table beside it.

Mrs. Shoots, the landlady, says thatwhen she met Hyman, about 10 o'clockthe night before, he was in the best ofhealth and spirits. She, however, ad-mitted that he was slightly excited, butnot enough so to deprive himself of rea-son or induce him to commit the rashact that ended in death. She said that hefrequently complained of illness, butnever said that he was a subject forapoplexy.

He was seen the samp night by a Mrs.Hoffman about 9:30 o'clock, at the bicyclerace at the Pavilion. He talked pleasant-lyat the time, showing absolutely not theslighest indication that he was suffering.

The relatives of the dead man explainhis death as one of accident and not de-liberation. They maintain that he wasstricken with apoplexy four weeks agoand was at the time conveyed to the Gei-man Hospital, where he remained forover a week. Another stroke of thedisease visited him last Friday night andthey now claim in point of this fact thatwhile suffering under this last strokehe accidentally knocked the chandelierfrom its fastening while endeavoring togain his bed.

The body, by the request of relativesof the deceased, was taken to an under-taking establishment, instead of beingconveyed to the Morgue.Mr. 'Hyman was about 53 years of age

and was for years connected with thefirm of M. Hyman. Upon the death of thelatter he established the firm of Stiner,

Strauss &Hyman. The firmnow occupiesthe premises at 108-110 Sansome street.

The deceased leaves a daughter 15 yearsof age.

An inquest on the body will probably beheld some time to-day. The interment ofthe body willbe under the direction of therabbi of the Temple Emanu-El.

TO PRESERVE LIFE TENURE*{Teachers Meet for the Purpose of/.Fighting Objectionable Legis-

lation.A meeting of the public school teachers

ifBan Francisco was held yesterday aft-•irnpon at the Girls' High School to pro-\u25a0\u25a0'fest-against the enactment of certain sec-.Bone of Assembly bills 638 and 639, now.pending before the Legislature at Sacra-ittjnito. One of the features of bill No. 639\u25a0which the teachers propose to eliminate•!rom the bill is a paragraph reading as

'follows: "Provided, That on or before

ithe 20th day of June of any year theBoard of School Trustees, or City Boardof Education, shall meet and by ballot

!elect teachers for the ensuing year."The other feature against which influ-

;ence willbe brought is a clause providing:that holders of elementary or primary

(\u25a0'\u25a0rtlficatos shall not be permitted to;teach in California.

The first clause is calculated to destroy! the life tenure of teachers in this city,

and the last would deprive the State ofmany useful teachers.

Superintendent of Schools Webster pre-'sided and Colonel C. H. Murphy, who In

!company with W. D. Kingsbury went toiSacramento to protect the interests of the;teachers, first outlined the bills which!were the subject of contention, and spoke

Ibriefly upon the efforts of the committeeto promote wise measures and kill dan-gerous ones. He introduced a resolutionwhich expressed the sentiment of themeeting as being opposed to the particu-lar bills which contain these clauses.

Colonel Murphy, \V. D. Kingsbury andPresident Bergerot were appointed a com-mittee to take charge of the fight and in-structed to proceed at once to Sacra-mento, there to use every effort to pro-tect the interests of teachers of SanFrancisco and to kill the objectionablefeatures of bills now before the Legisla-ture, If possible.

MRS. BERTSCHIS ROBBED OF

COSTLY JEWELSA Bold Thief Makes a

Rich Haul.

GEMS VALUED AT $2500

DARING DAYLIGHT BURGLARYAT THE BELLA VISTA.

Apartment of an Army Officer's Wife

Entered— Sixty-five Dollars in

Money Also Taken—

PoliceHave No Clew.

i

A daring burglar entered the apart-

ments of Mrs. Lieutenant W. H. Bertschat the Bella Vista Hotel last Thursday

afternoon and succeeded in making1 oneof the richest hauls that has beenbrought to the notice of the police during

the past year. The thief got away withtwo thousand five hundred dollars' worthof diamonds and jewelry and sixty-fivedollars in cash. The bold robbery hascreated consternation among the guests

of the hotel, as they fear that their apart-ments may be looted at any moment.

Mrs. Bertsch, who is the young andhandsome wife of Lieutenant Bertsch ofthe Fifteenth Regular Infantry, now sta-tioned In Cuba, has only been a guest atthe hotel for about a month. Her beau-tifully furnished apartments are on thethird floor close to the elevator. Aboutnoon last Thursday Mrs. Bertsch left thehotel to go downtown on business. Shelocked the door of her apartments beforeleaving and hung the key on a hook inth^ elevator, quite a general custom ofthe guests at the hotel. When she re-turned home at 4 o'clock Mrs. Bertschhad occasion to open the top drawer ofher escritoire, and to her amazement shediscovered that in her absence a burglarhad entered the room and carried oft herdiamonds and money.

The costly gems were encased in aheart-shaped repousee Bilver Jewel caselined with blue velvet, and when Mrs.Bertsch left her apartments to go down-town it was lying in the left hand sideof the drawer. The money was wrappedup in a statement of her account for themonth at the hotel and was lying be-side the Jewel case. The thief lifted thejewel case out of the drawer carefully,pocketed the money, closed the drawerand left the room in the same conditionas when Mrs. Bertsch left to go down-town.

As soon as Mrs. Bertsch discovered herloss she telephohned to Chief Lees andhe detailed several of his Hawkshaws tofind the thief. The detectives went atonce to the hotel and took a descriptionof Mrs. Bertsch's jewels, and ever sincehave been scouring the town in searchof a clew to the identity of the bold day-light maurauder. The pawnshops havebeen thoroughly searched, but the miss-ing Jewels nave not yet been located.Mrs. Bertsch firmly believes that therobbery was committed by some of theemployes of the Bella Vista. She has in-formed everybody connected with the ho-tel that she willgive a reward of $100, oreven more, for the return of the missingJewels and no questions asked.

In addition to their intrinsic value. Mrs.Bertsch considers her lost jewels price-less, as many of them are gifts from herhusband and other members of herfamily.

The guests of the Bella Vista are bothalarmed and mystified over the lootingof Mrs. Bertsch's apartments. Thetime-honored custom of hanging theirkeys on the hook in the elevator has beensuddenly abandoned and the proprietor ofthe hotel has placarded the walls withwritten notices requesting the guests toleave their keys at the office when theygo out.

The robbery promises to go down in therecords of the Police Department as an-other one of unsolved mysteries of ChiefLees' regime.

The only persons having access to theapartments were Mrs. Bertsch, the Chi-nese servant and the elevator boy. all ofwhom had keys. The detectives whoan working on the case, are quite posi-tive that the Chinese servant did not com-mit the robbery, as they say it is not thecustom of the Chinese to steal Jewelry.The elevator boy is also above suspicionbecause, when Mrs. Bertsch left the hotelshe left the key to her apartments in hispossession, ana it is not likely that hewould chance almost certain detectionunder the circumstances. Everybody in-terested in the case is having a ratherhard time trying to figure out how thethief gained access to the hotel, and thento Mrs. Bertsch's rooms, without beingseen by somebody. During the day thefront door is always locked and the col-ored bell boy sits at the door to receivethe cards of visitors. The key of theroom was not removed from the elevator,so the boy claims, during Mrs. Bertsch'sabsence.Taking all of the above circumstancesinto consideration. Mrs. Bertsch is con-vinced that somebody in the hotel com-mitted the robbery. About a month agoa Chinaman who pretended to be a laun-dryman got Into the hotel and succeededIn stealing several valuable pieces of jew-elry from one of the guests. He madehis escape, but was afterward arrestedby Detective Ed Gibson.""Iwas never more surprised in my life

than when Ireturned home Thursday aft-ernoon and discovered that my jewel caseand all had been stolen, said Mrs.Bertsch last night. "Iset the $66 asidefrom other money Ihad in the room, in-tending to settle my account with it. Theroom was not disturbed In the slightest.

When Ireturned the first thingIdid wasto open the drawer to get the money

which was wrapped up in a statement otmy account here at the hotel. My eyeinstinctively fell on the vacant spot

where my jewel case should have beenIt was gone Ilooked for the money, andthat too was missing. Iran across the

nafl and reported the matter to my moth-

er and she advised me to report the casetO"Thlefdefectives came here and ques-

tioned everybody connected with the ho-

tel but If they had any suspicions they

did not relate them to me. Most of theWeb were gifts, and Iwould not part

wHhth^m voluntarily for twice theirv^lue in money. Itis rather strange howa person could get into this hotel and get

out again without being seen by some-body Ibelieve that the thief was some-body who knew just where Ikept myjewelry. Detective Ed Gibson is workingon the case, and Ihave confidence in hisability to find the thief." ._..,_

Mrs. Bertsch has furnished Chief Leeswith a complete description of the stolenjewelry Mrs. Bertsch is a woman ofculture and refinement, and her jewelswere strictly in keeping with her per-sonality. Among the stolen jewelry was !a lady's gold watch, a beautiful Marquis iring set with three opals, and severaldiamonds, several plain diamond rings, acat'seye link bracelet, twelve diamond i

breastpins, several amethyst rings andbreastpins, a diamond star breastpin witha heart of pearls in the center, a Mar-quis pearl ring set with costly olivlnes,two gold neck chains and a lady's watchwith gentleman's silk ribbon fob withgold buckle.

MANSLAUGHTER IS CHARGED

SAYS THE OLD MANMETDEATHACCIDENTALLY.

Case Taken Tinder Advisement—By a

Singular Coincidence Defendant's

Father Attempted to CommitSuicide Yesterday.

The preliminary examination of As-

semblyman Charles F. Kenneally on the

charge of manslaughter was held beforeJudge Mogan yesterday. Attorney Din-

kelsplel appeared as special prosecutor,

and Attorney Ach represented the de-

feK>nneally was accused of causing the

death of William Quane. the old printer

who lived in South Park, at ThW andBrannan streets, on December B last

The case has been continued from time to

time since then, owing to the Aaaembly-

man's enforced attendance at Sacra-

mento during the balloting for Lnited

States Senator.The most important witnesses for the

prosecution were Frank Cook and George

F Lawson. Both testified to having seenKenneally and the old man quarreling,

and Cook swore that Kenneally struck

Quane, who staggered back and fell.

Lawson differed with Cook inasmuch as

he swore that Kenneally pushed the oldman back and his feet got entangled in

a leash by which he was holding twogreyhounds, and he fell. Both testifiedthat Kenneally picked the old man up

and got some whisky for him at a saloon

near the scene of the affray.

Kenneally In his own defense testifiedthat Quane had been owing him a billfor $8 for storage of his wagon and buggy.

On December 29 he met him and askedhim when he intended to settle *he bill.Quane made use of strong language andsaid he would not pay a cent. The oldman grew angry in discussing the mat-ter and raised his foot to kick defendant,who put his open hand on his breast andshoved him back. Quane stumbled overthe leash attached to the two greyhounds

and fell, striking on the back of his head.Defendant did everything he could forhim and sent him home in a bus. Heswore positively that he did not strikethe old man.

The Judge said he would look over the

evidence and would render his decisionSaturday.

By a singular" coincidence the Assem-blyman's father, John Kenneally, at-tempted to commit suicide in his houseat 19 Gilbert street yesterday afternoon.He has been a sufferer for over a yearfrom asthma, which made him despon-dent. Yesterday afternoon he took arazor and slashed his left forearm. Thenne dre%v the razor across his throat butwas only able to make a flesh wound.He was sent to the Receiving Hospital in..! Patrol wagron and Dr. Thompson

stitched and dressed the wounds. Theold man declared that he would makeanother attempt, as he was tired of lifetie was taken home last evening-.
