FORT WAYNE EDITOR
LECTURES ON SUCCESS
E. A. K. Hackett, editor of the Fort
Wayne, Ind., Sentinel, made an ad
dress before the summer vacation
school of the Y. M. C. A. yesterday.
His subject was "How to Make a Suc
cess of LJfe." He said in part:
"In tho rush of modern life, success
Is attained only when certain essen
tials are complied with. The flrst
essential Is to be In tune with the
divine law. You must get right with
God. You must avoid, sin, because
sin makes a wreck of life. Men (aye
been fairly on the road to success
when they turned their backs on God,
Bin has come into their lives and they
have become failures.
"The second essential for success is
hard work. No man ever gets to the
top round of the ladder without striv
ing for it. Read the stories of great
men, and you will find that their lives
were ■ lives of hard work.
"The third essential of success Is to
'do It well." Whatever you undertake
put your whole life Into It, and ac
complish It in the best manner it is
possible for it to be done. The busi
ness world wants a man who Is thor
ough, and that man very -soon climbs
to the top.
"In addition to the three things
named, success will be enhanced if
you "keep sweet.' Never be sdur or
disheartened. Carry sunshine with
you. Sweetness will make anything
go in this world."

LOS ANGELES HERALD
SHOOTS WIFE AND
ENDS HIS OWN LIFE
Mystery Veils Reason for Tragedy
in Home of Wealthy
Contractor
WOMAN IS EXPECTED TO DIE
Jacob C. Seeley. Rich Restaurant
Owner of Michigan, Fires
Fatal Bullets
Mystery attends the probable fatal
shooting of Mrs. Jacob C. Seeley, a
handsome woman 30 years of age,
and the suicide of her husband, a
wealthy restaurant keeper of West
Branch, Mich., at the home of Seeley's
stepfather, John G. Frankland, 4303
Halldale avenue, shortly before 6
o'clock last night. %
Seeley, who is about 37 years of age,
entered the house, went upstairs to
the room occupied by his wife, and, it
Is said, drew a revolver and sent a
bullet cnuih'lng Into her face. The
missile struck her left eye at an angle,
shattered the eyeball, then lodged In
the head. The unfortunate woman
screamed'and fell to the floor. Seeley
then turned the weapon on himself and
fired a shot into hia brain, the bullet
entering Just back of the right ear.
At the time of the shooting, Mrs.
Clara "Frankland, the aged mother of
Seeley, was tho only other occupant of
the house. She was reading In the li
brary downstairs, and "when the re
ports rang out she dropped the book
which she was reading and made her
way upstairs as fast as she was able.
STAGGERS TO FEET
As the aged woman entered the door
of the room in which the tragedy took
place Mi*. Seeley staggered to her
feet and groped about for support. The
unfortunate woman was suffering
greatly from shock and kept moaning,
"Jacob shot me."
Seeley was lying on the floor with
his head against a trunk in one cor
ner of the room. He was still breath
ing.
Mrs. Frankland became hysterical
when she saw her son. She knelt be
side him and begged the dying man
to speak to her. The aged woman
then summoned two physicians, but
the wounded man died before their ar
rival.
Shortly after the arrival of the doc
tors Miss Florence Frankland, a step
sister of the dead man, and the step
father reached the place.
Secrecy was observed by the rela
tives of the dead man, and when a
motorcycle officer, who was detailed
from the University police station to
make an investigation, entered the
house and began asking questions, he
says he was escorted to the- head of
the stairs and ordered out of the place.
Not desiring to create a scene and dis
turb the wounded woman, the officer
reported that he left the house and
was compelled to obtain his informa
tion outside the residence.
The family at first declined to give
out any information except the bare
facts that Seeley shot his wife, then
committed suicide. But when pressed
for details Miss Florence Frankland
said that Seeley evidently was despond
ent and shot his wife and ended his
life while suffering from a temporary
nt of insanity.
Miss Frankland then was warned
against discussing the affair, and closed
her report with a statement to the ef
fect that Seeley had recently returned
from a business trip to Mt. Hebron,
Wash., arriving in L,os Angeles Mon
day. !
OUT ON BUSINESS
Relatives stated that Seeley went
downtown on business yesterday after
noon. They said he had not been de
spondent because of illness, but prob
ably was worried over business affairs.
A few moments later, when one of the
physicians was asked about the case,
it was learned that Seeley had been
treated for swelling of his knees.
Just what occurred when Seeley first
met his wife after his return from town
late yesterday afternoon is not known.
The couple, it is understood, were to
gether in the room fifteen minutes be
fore the shooting began. One story is
to the effect that Seeley remarked that
he intended to kill her and shoot him
self. ' , | .■'
Mrs. Seeley was operated on at the
California hospital late last night. The
surgeons were unable to locate the
bullet, and say the patient is in a seri
ous condition and probably will die as
the result of her injury.
The dead man was possessed of con
siderable wealth, and frequently trav
eled about the country. Whether jeal
ousy enters into the case tho police
have not been able to determine. Mrs.
Seeley Is a pretty woman, of the blonde
type Seeley and his wife were on
amicable terms, and on no occasion was
he known to have quarreled with her.
The Seeleys came to Los Angeles six
months ago and since that time had
made their home with John G. Frank
l'ind a wealthy contractor. Since their
arrival In this city the couple had made
frequent trips to the different pleasure
resorts in Southern California and al
ways appeared to be in the best spirits.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Chamtoerlln an
uncle and aunt of the dead man, live
in San Diego.
The body of Seeley was removed to
the undertaking parlors of Connell
company and the coroner will defer
holding an inquest until Monday in
order to make a thorough investiga
tion of the case and learn the motive.

a part of the loot stolen from the
Shapiro shop.

cated Vorrath's room where it is be
lieved a large part of the yewelry sto
len from the North Main street pawn
shop will bo found._ It is believed

for Vorrath's past record, the police
and detectives are searching for the
Siamese linguist's accomplice, who was
described by his victim as being 5 feet
S inches in height, smooth fined, light
complexion and of slight build.

to anyone yesterday concerning his
predicament. In his limited conversa
tion, he showed ready wit and nerves
steeled for any ordeal. He is 27 years
old and says he was born in Slam of
a German father arid Simaese mother.
He asserts he has traveled around the
world several times and is familiar
with the capitals of Europe and Asia.
.The detectives state that he has rep
resented himself to be a Siamese
prince.

CITY FOR BONDS
City Council Confirms Sale Made
by Treasurer Hance in
New York
MONEY IN THE TREASURY
Fund Is Enough to Finance Work
on the Aqueduct Until
Next Winter
Finnl documents in the sale of Owens
river aqueduct bonds to the New York
buyers were approved by the council
yesterday, when an ordinance and a
resolution confirming the sale were
passed. Just before this was done
$1,543,579.75 was paid into the city
treasury from several banks in the
city with which arrangements pre
viously had been made.
The money was paid over to City
Treasurer Hance and W. B. Mathews,
special counsel of the aqueduct depart
ment, in New York yesterday at noon,
and as soon a3 the deal was actually
consummated Treasurer Hance tele
graphed to officials here that the
money had been deposited in New York
banks.
The New York banks telegraphed to
their correspondents in Los Angeles,
and the money, in the form of bills of
exchange, was soon in the hands of
Chief Deputy Treasurer Powell.
Treasurer Hance's message said that
the New York Life and the Metropoli
tan Insurance companies had each
taken a half million of the bonds at
par and accrued interest, amounting
in all to $1,005,87 d, and the bond syndi
cate of Kountze Brothers and A. B.
Leach had taken $530,000 par value plus
accrued interest.
This money will finance the aqueduct
in good shape until next winter, when
the bond syndicate is expected to ex
ercise its option and purchase another
large block of the bonds. The city will
also have a big sum in the sinking
fund, so that it can buy some of Its
own bonds and use the money for
aqueduct development work.
