SEARCHING FOR A SUICIDE.
Nothing Discovered as to the Author
of the potfled Note


Despite the fact that Sheriff Embry and
his searching party worked hard yester-
day, no new light was thrown on the
mysterious bottle message found at Cabin
John Bridge on Sunday. The idea still
prevails that the soiled note in the bot
tie was from a person contemplating sui
side. Several persons still incline to the
theory that the note was written by Ed
ward Thompson. of Baltimore, whose body
was found at the bridge Sunday. May q,
but as he is known to have been in Bal
note bears the date. May Is, it is not
considered probable that he wrote it.
Mrs. E. B. Weaver, an aunt of Edward
Thompson, was in the city yesterday max
ing enquiries concerning the death of her
nephew, and the finding OF his body. She
visited Sheriff Embry and was surprised
to learn that post -mortem eXamina
zion had not been held over the remains
and that the theory of suicide had been ac-
cepted. coroner's jury rendered YER
dict that death was due 10 an overdose
of laudanum. The jury based its verdict
on the position of the body when found
and the fact that an empty laudanum bot
tie was found beside the body. Mrs.
Weaver thinks that there might have been
another cause Of death. She is so i'm
pressed with this idea that she will have
the body of Thompson removed from the
vault and will have post-mortem exam
ination made.
Mrs. Weaver stated that the man need
not have been respondent because OF the
loss Of his position, or the fact that he
was without funds. He expected to go out
of Office at the change of administration,
and If he was in need of money he could
have obtained 1t readily from members
Of his family. Another thing which Mrs.
Weaver is at a loss to understand is who
the woman was who telegrephed to John
c. Roth, Of the Fayette Street Hotel. Bal
timcre, notifying him of the death of
Thompson. The woman viewed the body
on the day after it was discovered.
She claimed not to be able to iden-
trfy it, but communicated with Mr.. Roth,
and he came to the city.

PEACE JUBILEE FINANCES.

Celebration.

The Finance Committee on the late Peace
Jubilee held meeting at the new head
quarters. 1914 Street, last night. with
Chairman Allison Nailor, jr.. presiding
Hnd G. A. Whitaker as secretary. About
twenty members were present.
Chairman Nailor stated that owing TO the
fact that about $1,000 in unpaid subscrip-
ltions were still outstanding and many
books out, the final report OF the commit
ace would be deferred until the next meet
tng, when a complete statement would be
snade. Every cent will be carefully ac-
tounted for. and IL is expected that there
Rill be a small deficit unless outstanding
Guns are obtained.
Z, The ofieial souvenirs of the Jubilee are
pd sale at the new headquarters. and those
Eesiring them should obtain them this
Assk. as accounts must be settled.

tss one Of the largest advertisers In the
,Eeuntry, was introduced by Frank X. Ray
itnond and addressed the committee briefly
lpn the benefits which had accrued 10
washington through the recent Peace Jubi-
bee. Mr Boyle stated that the newspapers
lend the billboards throughout the country
$bsd. given the Capital big boom as a
ssoleasure resort. and the results ought TO
}1e highly gratifying.

Accident to william BreebIe.

While riding a. bicycle in H Street. near
Delaware Avenue northeast. about Z
o'clock yesterday evening. William Bree-
BILE. OF 931 Ninth Street northwest. met
with peculiar accident. which might have
resulted seriously. AS 1t was, the man
was thrown from his bicycle and badly
cut about the head and face. He received
treatment and was sent to his home. Bree-
bic at the time of the accident was riding
between the tracks of the Columbia Rail-
way Company At the point where he fell
the slot is unusually wide. The wheels OF
the bicycle caught In the slot and sank
nearly up to the hub, causing the bicycle
TO come to a sudden stop and throwing
Breeble. The police of the Ninth precinct
stated last night they had received sew
eral complaints from wheelmen of similar
trouble. but in the other instances the per-
cons complaining had fortunately escaped
without injury.
