AN INQUEST ORDERED.
investigation To Re Made of Case of
Alleged Murder.

The colored male infant thrown on a lot
rear 9th and + streets northeast Sunday
night and picked up Ivy Policeman Archan-
bault published in Mondays Star died
yesterday at The house of Mrs. Robinson
No 1r2j 18th street. A certificate giving
congestion of the lungs as the cause Of
death was given by Or. Julia K. Hail who
Is the physician designated to attend wards
of the board of children's guardians.
Upon the strength of this certificate the
body was buried in potteT's field yesterday
afternoon. Although it is supposed to he a
case Of murder, the police were not il
formed of the death until today, when a
reporter gave them the Information. Had
II not been that MI Parsons, one of the
health office clerks, noticed a foot note on
the death certificate giving the informa-
tioh that the child had been abandoned,
there would. IN all probability, have been
no inVe< tieatIon Of the crime.
Health Officer Woodward, who learned IF
the case IRON reporters, made some in
Guili@=, and had the coroner advised of the
facts. When this had been dorc the coro-
Hcr concluded he would hold an inquest
ard gave an order for the disintermcut Of
The body and its removal to the morSue.
AZ autopsy Will be made tomorrow morn
Ing and jury of inquest summoned.
Tie child, as already stated, was found
on a vacant lot about 10 o clock Sunday
night. S3me pedestrians We're attracted to
the lot by hearing the infants cries and
Policeman Edward Archambauit who vert
there to make an inyes ga ton found The.
Child. 1t was thought that the baby was
rot more than an hour ola and that ii was
white. although the death certificate states
that IL was cOlOred.
The child was nude. and this. the police
Il ink, is evidence of the murderous intent
of the mother or others responsible for its
being placed there.
The officer took the infant to a house
near where it had been left to die and later
1t was conveyed to the Bruen Home No.
4:G NJ street where it was kept until Mon
day. AS infants of this age are not kept
there, tho waif was taken the next morn
ing to the house of Mrs. RobiuSon a nurse
but death ensued in a few hours. Coroner
Carr is anxious that the identity of the
persons connected with the affair be learn
ed in order that the jury may be able to
fix the responsibility.

REDI CTIOS IN SALARIES.
Capital Traction Director Discusses
COmpany's Recent Action.

At Il recent meeting of the board of
directors of the Capital Traction Com
pany 4 number of changes we're made IN
The salaries of the executive officers. In
Speaking OF this acton one of the directors
said to Star reporter today:
such changes as were made were in
large part the result CT the report of Il
committee of the directors appointed by
that boGy before the receipt OF the re-
quest from certain stockholders that the
subject be considered. and, as the director
who repI esents the New York stockhod
ers, was chairman of that committee,
whose report WIS unanimous. ii is but
fair 10 suppose that that large interest in
the road was satisfied with what was
done.
The total reductions made involve a saw
Ing TO the company OF about Sl4 900 per
;.nnum, and. if it is found in the future
that any further cutting down can be
done, without affecting tn. efficiency of
the service. + am quit" sure the directors
vii! promptly act IN that direction.
The pay OF the directors. which was
formerly 800 d meeting, was reduced by
the directors themselves 4 year ago to
so a meeting. and at the meeting just held
To so a meeting to each director when i'll
attendance. The presidents pay was re-
duled from Sl5Upb TO $I2,OO) II year.
TO any one familiar with the manage
time. when the rebuilding oi this entire
railroad system Is On uand, would seem
most moppOrtunc moment Tor reducing
the compensation Ot those who are charged
will. this important Work. So, at least,
thought the directors, and, for this reason,
If for no other, the salaries OF the eXecu-
tive officers were only reduced when sug-
(, sted by themselves.
IF the general public takes any espe-
Cial interest in the family affairs of this
company II might he well for them to
know that the objectOrs to the present
management, who. from time to time. have
mane themselves heard in the public press,
represent about oEe-tenth of the entire
stock, and. while these gentlemen are
always entitled to a patient hearing, it
is hardly to be expected that their views
are TO control this corporation over those
Of the other nine-tenths, who seems at
least to be satisfied with the present man
agrment.
That sucl is the case is probably well
demonstrated by the presence on the board
of one gentleman who is there as the rep
resentative nf some forty thousand shares
Of tic stock held in New York city and
state. being one-third of all the stock of
this con pany, and who is most active in
the present management and IN forming

Complete Surprise.

The presence here of +. H. Starr the

ago this winter. Mr.. Starr is in Washing

inert. He has been connected with the
government service for many years. In
speaking to The Star reporter this morn
ing he said
Il in the thick of the Wounded Knee
fight all unconSciousy. 1 wds never more
astorished in all my life than when the
shooting began. 1 was not looking for any
thing of the kind at ALL.
Starr had two bullet holes through his
clothes. and it SEEM; miracle to him now,
he declares, that lie was not killed. He is
a most intelligent man, and speaks clearly
and forcibly
Il was engaged In the capacity of scout
he added. 1t was about q o'clock in the
morning. or little after, when the fight
began l vas engaged in dealing out ra-
TORS 10 the women and children. Some of
the men of the 18th Cavalry were about me-
Suddenly heard gun ed, and instantly
the place seemed to be mass of smoke

like hail. While the shots sounded like
stones in a kettle being ratified up together.

The thing occurred In Il little ravine l
had my gun close to me when the shooting
began, but was so excited, aStoriShed and
scared that 1 ran ami forgot altogether
aEojit Ii. The Indians who were around
including men, women and children, scat
tered like chickens when a hawk is after
them. To aCd to the awfulness of the af-
fair. the smoke was binding and choking.
The soldiers who were doing the shoot
ing were up on little hill overlooking the
place where the rations were being dealt
out to the Indians. / was so badly fright
ened l started 10 run away from them,
bat found that l was running directly to
them. Bullets were flying all around me,
and | could see both the Indians and SOL
uiers Who had been close to me falling to

II L had been In d terrible dream. When l
found l was running toward the soldiers
who were doing TIE shooting. inst Stead of
away from them, l had presence of mind
to know that 1t would not do TO turn back

gun was cracking like pack of firccrack-

t1to The ravine, and through the clouds of

Pension for ''Jeannette" Survivor.
j. NJ, Hutchius. of Penobscot. writes :.

On July President Mckinley sig ned the bill
to pension Herbert W Leach, of Penobscot,
the only Maine "Jeannette" survivor. Some
three years ago, upon presentation of facts in
the case by the writer to Hon. Seth L. Milliken,
bill was introduced in the House referred to
committee, which late in the session reported
fayorably. The bill was placed on the calendar
but died there.
Vt the last session the matter was presented
In new form, backed by strong petitions to
Hon. f. c. Burleigh, who by his persistent
and Jealous efforts secured passage OF the bill
through the House, Senator Hale became in
terested in the matter and pushed it through the
Senate in the last days of the session. No one
will find either of these gentlemen mapping
when a just claim from his constituency de
mands attention.
