HIS IDENTITY is UNKNOWN.
Mystery Surrounds the Hancock
StUtue Suicile

The body of the man who committed
suicide on the coping surrounding the
Hancock statue on the corner of Sew
enth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue
northwest. remains unidentified at Lees
undertaking establishment, which is be-
ing temporarily utilized as the morgue
Mr.. Lee said last night that n num-
Der of persons have called, but that
none Of them could identify the remains.
1t is supposed by the police that the
man was a stranger in the city, who
was looking for work, and that, after
spending his money, he became discour-
aged and shot himself
The body was dressed in suit of blue
clothes of good quality, a pair of tan
shoes, slightly worn, colored shirt, with
white collar. and a brown fedora hat.
The latter had a hole in it where the
bullet had passed through and the marks
showed that the weapon had been held
so close to the hat that the powder had
burned the cloth.
The suicide is stepped in mystery, and
it is probable that it will be made the
subject of investigation by the police.
The person who accompanied the NOR
tally-wounded man to the Emergency
Hospital told reporter of The Times
that he had known him for twenty
years. His name was Frank Frazer, he
said, and he lived at the Slater House.
AT that place, however 1t was said that
he was not known there.
Search for the man who gave out this
information has proved futile, although
every effort has been made to apprehend
him.

The story of any day in the Stock
Market now is equally as good as that of
any other. There has been a succession
of evil days with no trading and no
tendency worth chronicling except that
toward greater dullnesS. Yesterday was
only different from Wednesday in that
1t was worse. There was no buying by
the commission houses, and the room
traders even had very little to say.
Prices had no decided trend necessar-
ly. The outlook is not favorable for bet
ter things for some time to come.
There is nothing in the immediate future
that will put new life into the market
as far as can be seen now. If the street
would not see a bull argument in the TAX
ing of Santiago there is no particular rea-
son why Porto Rico should be considered
more important. Peace will bring an ad-
vance, it is believed, but this may be far
away. The indicat tons now are some
what hopeful, but there is Still a per-
sistent belief in many peoples minds
that Spain will not consent, for a long
time, 10 give up Porto Rico, Cuba, the
Philippines and the Ladrones. Buying
on long margins should be safe as there
is apparently nothing in the situation
that can cause declines. There is how
ever, anything that should tempt specu-
lators seeking quick profits.
Inc DonQ market was more interesting
yesterday than the stock market end of
the exchange. A prominent feature was
the trading in Iron Mountain 5s. There
has been persistent though quiet buying
in these bonds for some time past. 1t be-
gan when they were at 80. Yesterday the
price went to par. In some of the bond
issues that have been prominent there
was profit taking yesterday. There is a

afford should he utilized. There
skill and experience should be the
absolute considerations. That skill
and experience may have come from
the military academy or advance
ment through the ranks of the state
militia: it may be the experience of
responsibility in actual warfare, but
these requisites should be the prompt
ings. 1t is on this very point that the
trouble has arisen. Gov. Tanner. of H.

only have expected the government to
consider their political graft and en-
trust them to commandsfOr which they

men. 1t is the unseemly attempt to
force politics into matters that con-
Germ the general welfare of the nation

when every sense of propiety, to say
nothing of patriotism, should dictate
political abnegation and personal self
sacrifice.
