FROZEN FIRE PLUGS.


The Authorities Looking for Some Way to
Prevent Delays at Fires.
The fire department was delayed some time
in getting stream Of water to throw on the
burning building at the corner Of 9th and
streets northwest. This was occasioned
by the condition Of the fire plugs,
which were moro or less frozen and
which had to be thawed out before the water
would flow. Capt. Rossell was interested in
this matter and determined to get full report
from Chief Paris Of the fire depart
ment. Chief Paris today reports that
engine No. (which went into service from the
fire plug at the corner of 9th and E streets, was
delayed two or three minutes by reason of the
frozen plug; that engine No. 2, using
the plug at 9Th and d streets, was
delayed half minute In getting water; that
there was no delay from engine companies No.
8 and 4. but that engine company No. 5, which
used the water from the plug on D between 9th
fore they could get the plug thawed out; engine
company No. 6, which used the fire plug
on 9th between ID and E. was delayed one
minute, while engine company No. Z, which
used the plug at 7th and E, experienced no de-
lay. There was delay, however, Of two min
utes reported from engine company No. 8,
which used the plug on ID between 9th and 7th.
1t is understood that Capt. Rosscll will have
the matter of frozen plugs carefully inquired
into, with the object of providing means to
prevent the freezing Of water therein. A num-
Der of suggestions have been offered, such as
packing the boxes incasing tho plug with
different materials.
Chief Paris, in conversation with a STAR
reporter today, said that the freezing Of the
fire plugs was a matter that called for the
earnest consideration of the Commits
sioners. The success of quickly ex-
tinguishing fire depended largely
upon the prompt supply of water, and
even minutes delay sometimes was most dam
aging TO the interests involved. He hoped the
Commissioners would devise some means for
remedying this most important defect Never
since his connection with the fire department
had there been such universal freezing.

found that the pistol shot had been fred from
inside the valise, and this caused friends Of the
dead man to advance the theory Of accidental
shooting.
There was hole through one end Of the
valise and tho linen in the valise the

death in the case.
One of the men who handled the body ad-

AN INTERVIEW WITH MISS HUNTER.
STAR reporter upon calling at the number
given by the colored porter who carried tho
note to Miss Hunter was told that the young
lady Was at home and upon be-
ing ushered into the parlor found
two young ladies there One, q
slight, rather prepossessing and refined girl
stated that she was Miss Hunter, and paused to
permit the reporter to mako known the object
Of his call. Both young ladies' were attired in
the house or waiting for some one to call before
going out.
miss Hunter" explained the reporter, II
am from The STAR, and wish to know IL you
are acquainted with a Mr.. F. G. bowman Of
Warrenton, VAR
The young lady was evidentiyj.greatly sur
prised by the question, and hesitated some lit
tie time before replying In the affirma-
tive. Her answer plainly indicated that
she knew nothing Of the suicide, and when
the reporter informed her of the fact her face
blanched, her head fell. and placing her hands
together she remained silent for several minutes.
Then, as far as her emotions would permit, she
hurriedly asked for the details Of the tragedy.
Distressed beyond measure, she bravely con-
troled herself, and in answer to the reporters
inquiries stated that che had known tho
dead man, and that she had sent him a short
time before a note in answer to one che had re-
ceived from him this morning. She declined
to state the contents Of either, and seemed
greatly disturbed upon learning that both
might be examined by the authorities.
HAD NO WISHES TO EXPRESS.
Miss Hunter stated that she had no wishes to
express in the matter, but asked that the sui
cide's mother at Warrenton and his cousin, Q
Mr.. Alfred Horner of the War Depart
ment, be notified. The young lady
firmly declined to say anything further
and as the reporter expressed his regrets at be-
ing the bearer Of so unpleasant news and
tired the poor girl threw herself upon a lounge
and burying her face in her hands gave full
vent to the grief which she had until then SO
bravely withheld.
THE coRoNER's CERTIFICATE.
Coroner Patterson this afternoon gave q GER
tifcate Of accidental death.

Mr.. staples' Big Free Lunch Continued ct
willard Hall Today

willard Hall Today.
Today was the fourth in the series of
charity banqusts provided through the
bounty Of Col. o. 9. Staples, proprietor Of
Wizards Hotel. and his wife. Over
1000 enthusiastic appetites were satisfied
The attendance was larger than on any
one Of the preceding days. The poor Of WASH
ington have accepted the hospitality Of Col
and Mrs. Staples with rush. They have stood
not upon the order Of their coming.
but have come. Messenger boys, boot
blacks and frozen out laborers with their
sisters, brothers, cousins and their aunts, were
gathered around the board. That element
which even in the sunniest season lives pre-
CAUTIOUSLY was well represented. There were
scores Of half-ciad people whose pinched
features and detected air out-taiked
words in telling the story Of want. The crowd
seemed oblivious to everything save their
plates. There was. indeed, no charge for extra
orders, and the guests avaied themselves
Of this privilege on an average five
times. In some cases whore the appetite,
plates Of soup were absorbed. However, six
or seven plates was considered good
record. The consumption OF bread was in
appropriate ratio. The loaves were not sliced,
but cut into thirds and eaten without
limit In the grand rush OF patronage the
ordinary white CHINA soup DOWis gave out
and the fine tinted porcelain ware used In
the service Of the hotel was called into requisi-
ton. The effect of this on some of the
guests was peculiar. Food was the only thing
talked about on the street outside the hall. Some
OF the benefciaries talked in q grateful strain
as to the munifcence of their entertainers, some
spoke if they had only received their
due, others discussed the quality Of the
grub" and all told stories as to how much
they had taken in. The people tilted their
plates, drank from the point o: their spoons
and bit their bread, but they got there
just the same. Aris.ocratic danes and
lassies descended from their high estate
and ladled soup in the interest OF humanity.
1t was a bit of socialistic realism to watch the
pretty heroines of upper tendon bali rooms
playing angel and mInistering to the needs Of
unfortunate men and women.
Mrs. Staples was assisted today by Mrs. VIM.
R. Morrison, Miss Kerner, Mrs. Hickey, Mrs.
Delano. Miss Corcoran, Miss Postlewait, Miss
Hough, Miss Mary Hough. Miss Davis, Miss
Hendley, Mrs. Dewitt, Mrs. II. A. Willard,
Mrs Phelps, Miss Ring and Mr.. Hyde Hickey.
The attaches OF the dining room and kitchen Of
the Willard hostelry were on hand to assist the
ladies.
good many distinguished looking folks were
in attendance today as spectators. Sealskin
coats were mingled with tatters, jewels with
tears and patent leather shoes with frosted and
unshod feet.
The charity feast will be continued tomorrow
from II to 2 and on each day during next week.

bullet had undoubtedly gone through the man 3
heart, 1t was believed impossible for him to have
made away with 1t after firing the fatal shot
This situation gave the affair the appearance
of murder, The door Was unfastened. The
man had been shot and instantly killed, and
there was no weapon to be found.
He could not have thrown it out Of the win
dow and it was not in his pocket. Search was
made and after some little time the revolver
was found in the valise on the bureau.
1t was evident from the condition Of affairs
that the suicide had stood before the bureau
and fred the fatal shot and had dropped the
pistol in the vaise, where pair OF soiled cuffs
and necktie partly covered the weapon.
The police were soon notified and they took
charge Of the room and the few effects of the
dead man and sent word to the coroner.
There were some papers and an envelope in
the valise and it is thought that the letter
received from Miss Hunter Yesterday was
among them-although q close inspection wa
not permitted. The note sent to Miss Hunter
today was sealed and Manager Jenison held II
to await the arrival Of the coroner.
