Investigating a Suspected Murder
in st. Louis.
A BODY TAKEN FROM TEE GRAVE
Arrest of Thomas R. Howard on
Suspicion.
IS HE A OLSON Err?

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, August 15.-The body OF
Nancy Leathe, a negress, sister and heir
of Priscilla Henry, another negress, whose
bagnio has been for years the most no.
torious in the city of St. Louis, was ex-
humed by order of the coroner today, and
the viscera taken out for chemical eX-
animation.
descendant of the English family of that
name and broker of thirty years stand
ing, who has been the paramour of the
Henry woman and has had charge of her
affairs, is under arrest pending the result
of the investigation.
Some days ago Howard was arrested,
charged jointly with Florence Williams, a
to fraudulently transfer to himself the
Williams personating the Henry woman)
$4,000 worth of the S100000 worth of real
estate accumulated by the Henry woman
curing career of shame of many years.
Bond was given and Howard was released
but the Williams woman was held in jail.
The Henry woman had been i'll, but i'm
proved during Howard's brief incarceration.
From this chain of circumstances led to a
suspicion that Howard was slowly poison
ing her, and that he had also poisoned her
sister, who died some weeks ago.
The coroner seized a lot of medicine,
the Henry woman, and some that had been
given by him to the Leathe woman before
death. These medicines are being chemical
ly examined also. and report is expected
shortly. In the meantime Howard was re-
arrested. and is still held.

THE QUESTION Or WIRES
The Commissioners Want Them to Go
Underground
An Opportunity to Test Their Pow ers-
The Old Poles ON Thirteen.
and-a-Half Street.

Another effort has been made by the
foreground. This time they selected the
wires belonging to the United States Elec-
trio Lighting Company, along IL IL street.
Some time ago the electric lighting COM
pany made an application to the Commits
sioners for permission to replace its line
Of poles along that street with new poles,
claiming that the present line of poles was
dangerous, many of them being decayed.
An inspector was sent to examine the
poles. and he reported several Of them in
bad condition. but did not think the whole
line should be replaced by new poles. In
answer to this it was claimed by the cleo
trio company that many Of the poles were
rotting from within. They had been stand
ing for seven years. and that was long
enough for any pole to stand.
The application to replace these poles
was just the opportunity the Commission
ers wanted, and they Immediately sent
the papers to the attorney for the District
with the reGuest that he inform them
what, If anything, could be done toward
compelling the company to bury it's wir ss
of any specific legislation the Commits
sioners We're without power to bury these
wires. and that they had not the right
to refuse permit to the company to re-
place its poles with new ones, If the ne
cessity of the case demanded it.
When Congress meets, the Commission
ers, 1t is understood, propose to present a
bill giving them authority to order all
overhead wires underground.

Plan of the Directing Stockholders of
the Whisky Trust.
NEW YORK, August 15-Application
was made to Judge O'Bren in the SUI
preme court today by Louis Marshall of
counsel for the Directing stockholders OF
the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company
(whisky trusO for resettlement of the
order denying an injunction to restrain the
reorganiz ltion committee from bidding on
the seventeen distilleries which were sold
at Chicago yesterday for S9,s00,oOo by or
der of the United States circuit eourtA
Mr. Marshall said that while the refusal
of an injunction had permitted the reor-
ganization committee to bid at yesterday
sale. vet there seemed to be some question
in Judge O'Brien's mind as to the legality
of certain parts of the committees scheme
of rcorganiza ton. He said that the entire
plan of that committee was before the
court in the application for an injunction,
and he asked Judge O'Brien to so modify
his previous order denying the injunction
so as to prevent the committee from carry
ing out the scheme by transferring the
property purchased yesterday to new
company about to be organized with a cap
ital stock of $'5,000,060
He said that resettlement of the order
was asked for because the committee had
bought the distilIeres and would carry out
its plans before papers could be prepared
to enjoin them in another action. Decision
was reserved.

bill in equity was today filed by the
Funk & Wagnalls Company, a publishing
concern of New York city, against the
Quinby- Hutchinson Publishing Company of
this city asking for the appointment of a
receiver and requesting that all debts due
from the subscribers of the local firm be
turned or er to him.
1t is charged that the defendant COM

the Funk & Wagnalls Company for the
sale of the Standard Dictionary in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
Subsequently the Quinby- Hutchinson Com
pany fell in arrears to the New York firm
in the sum of about $1,000. An execution
in a judgment obtained in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia devel-
oped that the property of the local COM

CHOLERA IN JAPAN.
1t is Raging Among the Returned
Soldiers.

VICTORIA, B. c., August 15.-Although
passengers arriving by the oriental liners
that have reached Victoria this week agree
in the statement that cholera Is working
frightful havoc in japan, the newspapers
of that country contain no reference to the
devastation of the plague. This is proba-
bly due to the fact that the disease finds
its victims chiefly among soldiers recently
returned from the front, ard the govern
ment therefore takes advantage OF the
law relating to the press censorship to its
fullest extent.
According to officers of the Victoria and
more recently arrived Empress. OF Japan,
the military has suffered loss of thou
sands during the past few months. and the
principal stations in Japan are at present
converted into great hospitals. The For
mesa expedition has proved especially dis

A HOT DAY.
A State of the Weather That Called
for the Remarks About Texas.

Stnte of the Weather That Called
for the Remarks About Texas.
Another man from Texas f1oated into
Washington on the front end of the present
hot wave and was in a gun store on the
avenue near 18th street this morning buy
ing some cartridges to shoot ortolan with
when the season opens. He was there
also to casually talk about the weather
He took another view of Texas torridity
to that expressed last Saturday by the re-
doubtable Hon. Sampson Hoptoe. He
leaned confdentially over the counter to
the clerk and told him he ought to go
to Texas If he wanted to see hot weather.
THAT is" he explained, ''hot accordin'
to tn thermometer. 'Taint nothin' to see
tn mercury git up to LOG in the shade
down there, but it don't feel anything like
as hot it does here because the airs
dry. Why, you can stand out in the sun
down in Texas on hot day and hold up
piece of meat on a fork and broil it.
sub: just as good as you could on grid
The same results would not seem I'M
reasonable to have baen expected in WASH
ington today If the experiment had been
tried, although a good many people might
think that the fork would have melted be-
fore the meat got cooked. 1t was hot to
the point Of danger. because of the great
amount of wetness in the atmosphere. The
thermometer rose only degrees above the
record OF yesterday, ana the OIlclal TUBE
at the weather bureau marked a maximum
OF 81 degrees by 2 O'Clock, but the air felt
as If the heat was up toward the hundred
mark, and the perspiration poured out of
myriads of pores and trickled down necks
and stood on foraheads without any APP
parent tendency to evaporate and dry up,as
it should have, even under the influence of
the steady breeze that was blowing All
this d:sa ereeable combination of uncomfort-
able conditions made the Washington pub
lie get even hotter under its cellar than
usual, and the weather bureau came in for
an unusual amount of vigorous vitupera-
ton. Consequently there is tendency
on the part of the community to believe the
announce nent that tomorrow will be
cooler, for pretty nearly everybody has
settled down to the conviction that August

one foreman and one fellow workman that
they have known him from twelve to TWEEN
ty years. that he is a skilled workman, and
other necessary testimony, all attested by
notary, with seal attached. The applicant
certifies, under oath, that he served an ap-
premiership of five years. also, at the print
ing business. His application is returned to
him with the order of the commission that
ne must furnish corroboratiye testimony
that he actually served an apprenticeship.
Now, to a man who has been a Journey
man printer for over twenty years it may
be an utter impossibility to furnish proof
that he served four or five years as an APP

IS Kept OF the employees excepting the time
whether The Evening Star could furnish

easy enough.

person can take the elementary or educa-
tional examina ton and has nothing to do
with the practical examination whatever
Many cases might be cited of men skilled
IN the various trades connected with print
ing VINO never served an apprenticeship.
The ablest proofreader in New York the
head of the proof room OF the greatest pa-
per in the world, is not a practical printer
The foremost color printer in this country
To-Day IN my opinion, never served day as
an apprentice. foreman of the stereotype
room of one of Washington's dailies never
was stereotyper's apprentice. From this
1t Will be seen that it is not absolutely
necessary to have served an apprenticeship
to be skilled in trade any more than that
serving an apprenticeship makes a compe-
tent workman. Membership ill a trade
union is prima facie evidence that a man is
competent workman. and should at least
be sufficient evidence of eligibility to take
the educational examination for printers in
the government printing office.
In my humble opinion the age limit sho I'D
also be abolished. There are very few
men at any of the trades but what are
more skilled at forty-five than at twen-
ty-ffve, and in several of the branch
es it. requires service of many years
to acquire the skill necessary to fill the
most important positions. 1 venture
the assertion that seventy per cent of
the positions of foreman, proofreader,
maker-up, ETC., in the first-class printing
offices of America are held by men of
forty-fve and over. and why these men
should be debarred by their age from seek
ing place in the government printing office
is beyond my comprehension.
l am also of the belief that there should
at least be a minority representative on
each of the practical examining boards, who
does not hold position under the public
printer. The reason for this is obvious.
