its «xlat«nc« was not noted in. the

and be announced nuaself as willing
to l*nd It his shipmates between pay
days, taking artioles of value In se
curity «nd demanding repayment with
Interest when the uext pay day ar-
Hred. That was where he made his
blander, for his patrons declared that
hi« rates of Interest were exorbitant
and began to grumble.
The grumblings reached the ears of
Commander Eberle. who ordered an In
vestigation. Davis* desk was searched.
n»d therein was- found a number of
watches and other valuables neatly
ticketed— all tbe personal effects of
Dm vis* shipmates and tbe younger . ap
prentices. Commander Eberle . ordered
all the property restored to its right
ful owners, and gave instructions for a
summary court martiaL The court
martial was held, the evidence taken
and Davis ordered into confinement un
til a decision could be reached and*
penalty imposed. The findings of. the
court have not yet been announced.
"I don't see what was wrong about
it." said Davis, when he faced hi* ac- j
cusers. "They have pawnshops and loan !
money on shore and I don't see why we
shouldn't do it aboard ship."
"That is not what we have a navy
for and that is not why you are In the
navy," was tbe rebuke of the superior
officer. • "They do several things on
shore 'that we do not do aboard ship.
Moreover, on shore they license the
pawnshops, and you have not yet-pro
duced any license to operate ona."
•The charge might have b«en a much
mor« serious one," said Commander
Eb«rle in discussing the matter yester
day. "If we had found that Da\ls had
accepted any government property in
pawn it might have gone very hard
with him. As it was. I ordered an in
vestigation when X learned of it, be
cause we do not want such practices to
exist. I think this will serve to stamp
oat the evil and discourage any others
from emulating Davis* example.,. The
findings of the court have not yet come
to me' for approval, and I do not know
what they are."

Such was, the.' farewell" bicssigeiwrit-'.
ten ; - by Baron William yon Meyerinck,
late teller of the Union state bank, who
shot himself when a shortage in his ac
counts was discovered.' It- was brought
out at the coroner's inquest held last
night In Larkspur and was offered as
part of the evidence of the baroness.
The jury brought. in a verdict of sui
cide, with reason .unknown. ' ', .;-..: '*X~zi*~~'j
The baroness testified, to . arriving
home shortly after 6 p. m. In the even
ing -and hearing from her servant that
the baron was asleep. She said she did
not care to disturb him. An hour later,
dinner being ready, she told the servant
boy to awaken him; but the latter, fail
ing to receive an answer from his calls,
returned, saying that the*baron was ill.
"When I went into the room," she
said, "I found the baron's ; head Cov
ered with a pillow. I removed the/pil
low and found he was dead. His pistol
was in his hand. On a small table was
a note written. to me in. German, show
ing he had taken his life." . -
Asked if she could give any reason
for the act, she said she could not, un
less It was that he became despondent
on being discharged from his, position
on his forty-third birthday, :and. then,
after a week's delay, being- forced" to
content himself with a smaller position.
Off the witness stand she said the sole
reason for her husband being dis
charged from the Union state bank was
because he knew the inner workings of
the .bank and the officials feared; he
would tell all to the bank examiners.
Among the letters ; found on his per
son after death were some from bank
officials T complimenting him upon 'his
work and thanking him forthe interest
and zeal he had shown."**- Others -were
letters of recommendation. \u25a0'•'-'\u25a0 i
The other witnesses were the son,-!
Herbert, and the servant; Lee Young.
The son said he knew/nothing of the
actual death, having been in Santa Crux
at the time It occurred. He testified
that he thought his father must have
become despondent' at having lost his
position. : Lee Young told of finding the
baron in his room.v \u25a0 '•-\u0084
