Science Carried Far,
Coroner Hammett continued his scientific
investigation of the case last evening AS
stated in The Star yesterday, he sent
piece of the bloody undergarment that was
found Tuesday night in Ford's room, to-
gether with a clot of blood from the
wounds in Elsie Kreglo's neck, to a micro
Scopist, in the hope that the examination
might prove that the blood on F'ord's cloth
ing had come from the murdered girl. Ply
sicians generally. however expect nothing
from this, for they say that it is almost
impossible to differentiate the blood of
human beings from that of some animal
notably that of dogs and hogs. much less
to distinguish blood as coming from one
person or another.
But later in the dag the coroner fairly
outdid himself in / is efforts to leave no
stone unturned. By his directions the eyes
of the dead girl We're removed from the
body, to be placed before a camera, in the
hope that on the retina of the eye there
might be an image of the murderer which
could be photographed. The operation was
performed by DIR. Eammetts son, who is
also a physician. and the coroner took the
eyes to DR.. W. H. Gray, the microscopist
az the Army Medical Museum. DR.. Gray is
an expert scientific photographer, and his
aid was sought in an effort to get the de
sired photograph.
DR.. Gray told the coroner thai there was
no use in attempting the experiment., as
the theory that the retina retains a dts
ticct image after death was long since cX-
ploded and abandoned. DR.. Hammett ad-
mitted that he was not very confident of
success, but insisted that the experiment
should be made. The cornea was clouded

The PETER Uend Resolution

The final vote on the PETER resolution
for an investigation of recent bond issues
Will be taken in the Senate at pm. today
An agreement TO this effect was reached
late yesterday afternoon, after several test
votes had been taken, which clearly dis
closed the sentiment of the Senate on the
resolutions. The first vote taken was on
the motion of Mr. Sherman to refer the
resolutions to the finance committee. This
was defeated-yeas, Ia; nays, 30. An amend
ment by Mr.. Lodge was then adopted pro-
Viding that the investigation should be con-
Quoted by the regular finance committee
instead of a special committee as first pro-
posed. Another amendment, by Mir. Villas
proposing notifications in the resolution
was voted down, the affirmative vote being
only seven. After these tests the agree
ment was reached for a final vote, when the
resolution is expected to pass
The voting came after MIR. Hill had added
another lively instailnTent to his speech, in
GLIDING sharp criticism of Mr.. PettigreM
and a personal exchange with Mr. Wolcott
when the latter tried to call Mr. Hill to
order.
In executive session yesterday Senator
Mitchell of Oregon moved that the seal Of

10 the Edltor OF The Evening Star:
The criticism of the Tawney bill which
appeared in The Star of May 3, and which
was written by clerk in the pension Of
flee" merits, think, reply. Most of the
statements made by the gentleman show
that he either could not have read the bill
at all, or; if he did read it, he did not read
it Understandings. His statements are SO
far away from the statements of the bill
itself that l advise all the clerks who read
his letter and who read this to get The
Star of May / or and read the bill They
will then get an accurate idea of it; SUCH
in fact as every clerk ought to have.
The clerk whose letter gays, The object
of the Tawney bill is good, but the modus
operandi of accomplishing it is bad and I'M
just for many reasons has the most ac-
curate conception of the provisions of the
bill and what they should be, and his letter
contains suggestions which every clerk
should study. l have been clerk for five
years. and am one of the great mass of
clerks who will have the burdens of the
unjust and inequitable portion of the bill
to bear, while the favored few get a good
thing-if the bill should become a law
This is the second draft of a bill on this
subject. If this contains unjust or inequit-
able features, then the first bill was a
monstrosity of injustice. l opposed the
first bill when 1t was in the committee and
many OF the grounds of my objections were
removed and do not appear in the present
draft
But it is not yet perfect. 1t has defects
that should be remeded if it is to become a
law and forced upon us for any reason.
1t is, however, in the hands of the COM
mittee on civil service reform, and is sub
ject to revision and correction.
There are arguments in favor Of a proper
plan of this kind and there are objections
in the minds of some which can never be
overcome. I do not propose to argue it
either way; write simply to suggest to the
thinking clerks to study the bill itself and
then to state your objections or arguments
in it's favor to the committee and to your
Congressman. You will thus be doing
something practical E. c. PALMER,
