WILLIAM II. LEWIS SUICIDE.
A COlOred Man Who Shot Himself
While DesIs0ndent.


William H. Lewis, colored, committed
suicide yesterday afternoon shortly after
o'clock, by shooting himself through the
heart, as briefly stated in The Star. Death
was instantaneous Lewis was married
man, about thirty-one years of age, and
bore good reputation. He had been en-
ployed by w. B. Moses 6 Sons for a couple
Of years as driver, but during the Christ
mas holidays he began drinking to excess
and kept 1t up to yesterday. Lewis and his
wife formerly had comfortable home at
1915 r street, and had accumulated a con-
siderable amount of furniture. Little by
little the articles slipped away and the
proceeds were spent by the man for LIQUOR
Yesterday they were obliged to go back to
the wifes family. Lewis was to have gone
back to work this morning, but there is no
doubt that he brooded over his condition
and made careful preparations to take his
life. He returned to the house yesterday
afternoon about o'clock, and in a few
minutes he went into a small room on the
second floor, ostensibly to change his cloth
ing, telling his wife that he was going
away. A moment later she was startled by
the report Of a pistol. When she and an
other woman who was in the house ran
into the room they found Lewis stretched
out on the bed, and he died without utter
ing word. Coroner Hammett was noti-
fed, and, after making an investigat tion.
decided that an inquest was unnecessary
and gave a death certificate in accorda nee
with the facts. :.

Where the Credit Belongs.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In the article on "Organized Working
men," January 2 too much credit was
given Mr.. Gompers for labor done largely
by others; notably as your article states
ITO Mr- Gompers are attributable many
laws and the law making the first
Mo7day in September a legal holiday, to
be known as Labor day. This latter law,
when enacted by Congress, was signed by
President Cleveland, who presented Mr..
Gonpers with the pen with which the law
was signed
To cover JUS such claims at the time
this bill was passed. and to compel future
historians to make mention of the Fedora
ana D. A &C of he Knights of Labor,
these two bodies placed themselves on
record by resolution.
The Fedora ton said: ITO assist in keep
ing a correct record of this event it Is or
deTed by resolution that the credit of the
mittee of the Federation of Labor of the
District of Columbia" D. A. rs of the K.
of L. went a little further by adopting g
the following resolution:
That for he sake of historical accu-
raSy ii be entered the records of the
District Assembly that the enactment of
the Labor day national holiday law by the
Fifty-third Congress was due the initia-
tive of Plasterers' Assembly, No 1914; and
Excelsior Assembly. No 26I2 Knights of
Labor; to the Endorsement of the Fedora
tfon of Labor OF the District of Column
bia TO the management OF Millard F.
Hobbs, chairman of the legislative commit
tee Of the Federation OF Labor. and the
assistance of Hon James H. Kyle, senator
from South Dakota
