THE CLAIMANT GONE
Death Of BILLY" McGarrahan at

AFTER YEARS OF rRUlTLESS STRUGGLE
A WelLknown Figure Passes OF

FINAL SCENES OF HIS LIFE

The McGarrahan bill. that has been be-

known to man. Poor old McGarrahan. worn

Of April Mr.. McGarrahan. after the Senate
had passed his bill. went to Providence
Hospital. suffering from what was called a
general breakdown of the system. Nobody
who knew him well was surprised. for the
patient old man had long been fading away
and his most intimate friends knew that
the faithful body was weakening. At the
hospital he was received with the most ten
der care. and after few days he recovered
strength and insisted upon going to the
Capitol. where. he told the sisters at the
hos14tal. his affairs needed attention.
They humored him and let him go over to
the great white building that has held his
hopes and fears for many a year. For
three or four days he went back and forth,
sleeping at the hospital and sitting around
the Hobbies of the Capitol In the day, still

Murder of q Well-Knovn Indiana
Lawyer.
ALBERT 7. BECK FOUND DEAD IN BED
A Hole Had Been Cut in the
Shutter.
RESULT OF THE INQUEST

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April 24.-Albert
T. Beck, a well-known lawyer Of this city,
and formerly law partner Of Congressman
Bynum. was found dead on the floor Of his
sleeping room this morning. A shot was
heard by the family about o'clock. When
Mr.. Beck failed to respond to a call at 7
o'clock, his room was entered and his body
was found lying partially dressed with q
bullet in the bowels. The floor was covered
with blood and the window of the porch
was open. While the suggestion Of MUIR
der has been made, his friends think 1t IL
a case Of suicide. He was about fifty years
Of age.
Later-The coroner, after investigating
Lawyer Beck's remains. decided that he
had been murdered. Beck was found lying
on his bed undressed, with a ghastly wound
behind the left ear. There were signs OF a
struggle. The shutter had been sawed OF
so as to admit an arm. and blood was found
in the yard, and bloody tracks led to the
sidewalk. where they were lost. A strange
revolver was on the floor and Beck's re-
volver was found in a drawer.
The house where the crime was commit
ted il located at Goth and Ashland avenue,
in the northeastern portion Of the city.

CARBINES SUPPLIED
The Treasury Watohmsn Also Are Armed
With Revolvera
Prosecutions Taken to Insure ths
safety Of Uncle SANS Cash Box
From Mob Attacks.

The precautions taken for the protec-
ton OF the Capitol building have been
duplicated in the case Of the Treasury De-
partment to an extreme degree. Although
the authorities disclaim any apprehension
over the approaching invasion of the ma
tional capital by, large numbers of un-
employed men from all parts Of the coun-
try, they no longer attempt to disguise
the fact that they are taking every pre-
caution for the protection of public prop-
erty. 1t is confidently believed that the
local authorities are fully capable of deal
Ing with the situation. 1t Is deemed best,
however. to have all the federal forces in
this vicinity fully prepared to render
prompt assistance in the preservation Of
the peace and in the enforcement Of the
laws in the event Of its becoming neces-
sary.
Realizing that the Treasury Department
with its vast stores of gold, silver and paper
money would probably be the first point Of
attack by a reckless mob the authorities
have directed their attention to strengthen
ing the defenses of that building The
force Of watchmen has been increased and
their arms have been put in perfect condi-
ton. The force numbers seventy men all
told. under Capt. ]. d. Putnam. They are
all veterans OF the war and have seen ac-
tive military service. The building IL pro-
vided with perfect Geographic alarm sys-
tenn and the entire force can be summoned
to any given point by the simple touch Of
q button.
All the rooms and vaults where money
ard securities are kept are In telegraphic
communication with the office of the cap
tain OF the watch, and there are means
OF summoning the local police. the marines
at the navy yard, or the regular troops at
washington barracks without delay.
The Vaults Closed.
As has been already stated. the vaults
and rooms of the treasury where money IL
handled are now closed to the public, and
II Is said that all the small doors Of the
building will be closed and that admis-
sion will be confined to the main entrances
on each front Of the building.
This will allow q better concentration Of
the force Of watchmen and give better con-
troll over the movements Of visitors.
AT the request Of the captain Of the
watch, the force has been armed with the
latest improved Springfield carbine, In ad-
which they were already provided. The
new arms were received this morning. to-
gether with a supply of ammunition.
All the old revolvers have been cleaned
and reloaded, and the force Is now in con.
dition to repel any ordinary attack.
Merely u Precaution.
A Star reporter asked Capt. Putnam what
all these warlike preparations meant. and
he said that they were taken merely as q
precaution and with no possible apprehen-
sion that they will ever be called into use
He did not think there was the least dan
ger Of any trouble, but 1t was only the part
Of prudence to be prepared for 1t In case II
should come.
