DRESSED DIED
He Preferred Death to Service in the
Philippines

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 4-Lieutenant
Herman G. Dressed of the United States navy
committed suicide in the Carrolton Hotel
today by shooting himself in the head. From
papers found on his body it is surmised that
he killed himself because he had been or
dered to Manila to join the United States
ship Zafro
Dressed, soon after reaching this city, went
to the Carrolton to rent a room, and locked
the door behind him. Almost Immediately
thereafter pistol shot alarmed the EN-
ployes of the house, and a search showed
that Dressed was dead. In one of his pockets
was found an order from Secretary Long.
detaching Dressed from the Essex and order
ing him to Manila to Join the Zafro. A tel
egram directed to Lieutenant c. II. Fales, in
Washington, and signed by Dressed, which
was found on the dead man, requested Fales
to exchange orders with the writer, and it
was evidently the intention of Dressed to
have sent this. Lieutenant Dressed was well
known in the pay office and custom house
here. No one could assign any cause except
his unwillingness to go to Manila. He is de-
scribed as a pleasant, cheerful man, with no
known troubles. Dressed was about 40 years
old. He entered the navy on September %.
1876, at Annapolis, having been appointed
from Ohio. On May 4, 1896, he was made a
Lieutenant. During the Spanish American
war he served on board the Puritan. Fol
lowing the war he was transferred to the
Essex, and it is said the transfer to Manila
was made on account of his value as an off
Ger, which marked him out for continued ac-
tive duty.

Beilstein's Suicide

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. A.-Edward
Beilstein, brother of Bertha Beilstein, who
killed her mother and attempted to kill
herself, added another chapter to the trag
edy which surrounds the family by killing
himself last night on the grave of his moth.
err His body was found at 7 o'clock thii
morning, and beside it was a note that in.
dicated that he had committed suicide.
There were no marks of violence, and the
inference is that Beilstein took poison. The
Beilstein family was quite wealthy and oc.
cupied a prominent position in German cir
cles in the North Side. A little over
year ago J. +. Beilstein, the father, died
after an illness of short time. Six month.
later Bertha shot her mother to death and
inflicted four wounds with revolver on
herself. She is still living, but cannot re
cover, her physicians say. Within twenty.
four hours after her attempt to kill her.
with the family, laid himself on the Fort
Wayne tracks in lower Allegheny. in front
OF an approaching train and was killed.
