looked forward to with great interest is
that Of the appearance of James j. Corbett,
the worlds champion. who will be seen in

the genuine as time and the confines Of

point in the play, inasmuch as 1t gives the
spectator a reasonably clear idea of all
that was described with such great partic-
ularity in the newspapers for months
previous to the Corbett-Sullivan contest
In this scene Mr.. Corbett spars four rounds

Casper wagonheld,WhO Took Trough
ON Rats" ON the Cars.
Considerable excitement occurred yester-
day afternoon shortly before 4:30 o'clock at
It'll street and Pennsylvania avenue. A
man riding on 14th street cable car was
suddenly seized with commissions of most
violent nature. Several passengers en-
deavored to quiet him, but the sick man
fought like a fiend in an effort to release
himself. Officer Heller. who was standing
on the corner, rusned to the scene, and af-
ter satisfying himself as to the condition Of
the man, summoned a carriage, and after
o severe struggle removed the patient to
the Emergency Hospital.
1t was learned that the sufferer was
Cacocr Wagonfield. a carpenter. thirty
eig-t years Of age. With a box of Rough
on It's" in his hand he boarded The car
near the Capitol and Immediately began
swallowing the poison. This he continued
to do until 1t affected him as described
At the hospital the cries and struggles of
Wagonfield were terrific and II required four
men to hold him. He prevented the sur
geons from using stomach pump, and all
they could do was to inject apofhorphne
hypodermically. The sufferer at noon today
was much better than he was last night
and Dr. Bell the resident physician Of
the Emergency Hospital is of the opinion
that he will recover although, he says
cases of arsenic poisoning frequently re-
suit in death after a few days.
Wagonfield's wife died several years ago,
leaving two children, a boy and a girl. After
her funeral, II is said, the bereaveJ husband
sold all the household effects and went on
spree. His mother-in-law took charge of
the little girl, while the boy was cared for
by another lazy. Wagonfield was not seen
by his rel: tives until a few weeks ago.
when he appeared greatly excited over the
death of fellow workman, which occurred
by accident At the Schneider flats. Moth
ing more was seen Of him until the incident
of yesterday. He has a mother, Mrs. Rus
covitz living in Anacostia.

ISOLATION, nor should Mr.. Gardner ever have
recommended them. had he shown as much
anxiety in our interests as he had to sell
his stock.
1T is proper to answer the charges and
insinuations made on the part of Mr. Gard
ner and the officers of the Commercial Al
lance that this committee was engineered
by or through the influence of rival insur-
ance organizations or their agents. We
stamp this assertion as absolutely I'M
founded and untrue. Not a single member
of this committee has been actuated by any
sueh desire or motive. nor have they either
individually or collectively made use of
their position to the detriment of any one
company for the benefit of another The
subject of insurance has never been touched
either at their public meetings or in their
private consultations. 1t is true the chair
man of this committee is the agent of an
insurance company, but he has never al
lowed one word to be uttered to the detri-
ment or the assessment plan, or in favor of
any insurance company. And the argument
advanced by Mr.. Gardner and by the off,
GERS OF the New York company have been
made for the purpose of influencing public
opinion and creating a suspicion as to the
integrity and character of this committee
There is not member of the COMMITTEES

Policy Holders Not Consulted.
1--WE entered into the Investigation Of this
whole matter as policy holders with de-
sire not to injure, but also not to shield
any one. trusting that If any errors had
been committed they were those of judg-
ment and not of intent. Big We regret to
say that the developments and the various
statements made by Mr.. Gardner do not
bear out the hope entertained by friends of
his on the committee, and that the transac-
tion from the start up to the present mo-
ment does not vindicate Mr.. Gardner's judy
ment and certainly does not deserve the

examining the DOCKS ana after such eX-
animation declined, giving as a reason that
they were not satisfied with the condition
as they found 1t. Pending these matters
Mr.. Gardner threatened that If the board
would transfer the business he would Sc
cure an injunction-the very thing the poll
cy holders have been at last compelled to
do. But when this transfer was supposed
to be imminent, Mr.. Gardner implored the
board of directors, with a great deal of
feeling, not to do so, as it would deprive
him Of the means of livelihood.
unfortunately. the statements made by
Mr.. Gardner have crippled the future use
fulness or possibility OF the Washington
Beneficial Endowment Association, the
younger members having gone out or GO
ing, leaving the elder members, those near
the brink OF the grave, without hope, and
no remedy, except the dividend that may
come from the assets of the company, pos
sible damages from the stockholders, or to
pay high rates to a company of uncertain
future.
Your committee refrains from stating
their opinion of the legal status; that is in
the hands Of able counsel. the near future
will develop what the policy holders can or
