San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 25—Frank Ross Chambers Jr., member of a wealthy New York family, visited the grave of his 17-year-old daughter, Mary Louise, yesterday, returned to his apartment in San Mateo, and shot himself to death while brooding over the girl’s suicide two weeks ago. A private detective employed to guard against any attempt Chambers might make at self destruction, was in the next room. He rushed in as Mr. Chambers fell dead.

The daughter committed suicide in the same apartment on account of jealousy toward Mrs. Beatrice Chambers, aged 19, second wife of her father.
