HENRY NELSON PILLSBVRY, Philadelphia, April 4.~While tempor- arily theane as a result of a delicate operation, Henry Netson Pillsbury, the American champion chess player, tried to jump from a fourth storey window of the Presbyterian hospital 'on Thurs day evening. He was only prevented by Mrs, Pillar y, who calmed him af- ter several phy +ifians and nmses had bean straggling WM him for ten min utes. Fillsbhury had been in ill-health for two or three years. Years of excessive smoking had shattered his nervous system and made it impdssible for him to participate in chess tournaments, When he was winning fame as a bril- liant che:s player it was his custom to smoke one strong, black cigar after another. Two years ago at Monte Carlo Pills bury collapsed 'after competing sue cessfully with the best che:ss players of Europe for two weeks. During the past winter he was unable to play at all, and he and Mrs. Pillsbury, 'who was a Miss Bush, of Brooklyn, had to move into rooms on 'the fourth floor of a boarding house, Pi'lsbury's circumstances have heen such that he has to depend upon friends for aid, and it is believed that his inability to earn a livédlihood an: longer by chess playing has also prey ed on his mind ~4 THE NATIONAL COUNCIL Meeting Yesterday to Agenda Paper.
