FOR LoVE OF AN ACTRESS.
Cadet II. l.. Peterson Forced I,
Resign From the Service.

I
Resign From the Service.
The resignation OF Cadet II. L. Peterson,
of the schoolship Chase. of the revenue
cutter service. was accepted yesterday by
the Treasury Department This action
closes an incident which had begun to
gather the atmosphere of romance, and
certain officials in the department who
listened last week to the pleadings of a
young and beautiful woman in her efforts
to lift the cloud that had lowered over
her frankly acknowledged sweetheart's s
head feel not the least relieved that Of
fetal action has been taken.
Young Peterson is said 10 be a hand
some fellow of twentyfour years, who was
in n fair way to finish his course as a
cadet with credit to himself, and also with
the prospect of marrying Il handsome
bride. Through an act Of technical in
subordinatioD," which is all that the
Treasury Department will disclose of the
charges preferred against him, he has
nothing remaining of his prospects but
his betrothed bride, Miss Charlotte Crane,
an actress. 1t was her personal appeal to
the officials of the Treasury Department
that saved the cadet from dismissal She
had hoped TO do more than this and have
him retained in the service, but II was de-
cided that II would be prejudcial to the
good of the service to have Cadet Peter
son graduate as an officer and the most
lenient course was therefore adopted in
his case.
The romance between Miss Crane and
Cadet Peterson dates back year or more.
They met in one OF the Atlantic seacoast
cities and fell in love with each other
Miss Crane and her sailor lover have been
unable on account of their migrating du-
ties to see each other but few times, al
though they have been betrothed for some
months. Her last words were that she
would marry him no matter what hap
pened.

THOMAS MORAN And
Els Wild ELEVATOR
Exciting Experience at a Seed.
Packing House.
Helpless Women Panic-Stricken in
the Closed Cage.
Broke Under the Strnin-No One
Seriously Injured.

THE ups and downs OF life" was no
metaphor for three thoroughly frightened
persons yesterday afternoon at the seed
packing Office OF the contractors with the
Agricultural Department, located at Tenth
and C Streets northwest. when an elevator
got away from Thomas Moran. an inexperi-
enced elevator conductor. Because of his
inexperience or rashness a serious and
what might have been fatal accident re-
suited. in which Misses Agnes and Blanche
Clark were injured.
The young ladies are employed at the
place. They entered the elevator in
charge OF Moran for the purpose Of a
descent. The boy pulled the rope and the
car shot UP ward at u terrific rate. and
would have crashed through the roof had
it not been for the presence of mind of
one Of the young ladies. She grasped the
rope and, pulling it, caused the car to
descend at the same rate of speed at which
it had ascended. The woman realized that
the imminent crash at the bottom would
be as fatal as that averted at the top and
again caught the rope, causing the car
to change its course once more. This rise
and fall was continued for several min
utes, until finally the increased strain on
the wheel above the elevator caused it
to break, dropping the car to the ground
with loud crash. The elevator was badly
damaged.
The noise of the crash occasioned by the
fall of the elevator resounded through the
building and attracted the attention of
many OF the employees, who rushed to the
scene of the disaster. There it was found
that Moran and the Misses Clark had been
thrown to the floor of the car and were
apparently severely injured. The top of
the car had eayed in and seemed all but
ready TO drop on the PROSTATE forms.
Without much difficulty the trio was ex-
tricated from their awkward position and
attention was given to the young women,
who complained of being hurt A cursory
examination disclosed that they were suf-
fering more from shock than anything
else, but it was decided to send theIa 20
the Emergency Hospital.
A call was sent in for the ambulance,
and when the women arrived at the hos
pital they were disinciined to receive treat
ment. They had regained their composure
and stated that they felt no symptoms of
serious injury. Miss Agnes had sustained
cut on the head, but an examination re-
yealed that it was slight Her sister
Blanche had a confusion of the hip, but as
she suffered no inconvenience from II she
refused treatment. Both young women
were sent to their home at Takoma Fark.
Policemen Samson and 0riani inyesti-
gated the accident and learned that it was
due to the fact that Moran was an mex
perienced conductor. They made that
statement in their report at the police sta
ton.

TRAGEDY OF THE STOCK T1cKER
Man Whose Luck Failed Killed His
Son rnd Himself.

Norristown Pa, March 21.-A horrible
murder and suicide took place yesterday
evening a quarter of a mile above Belfry
station, on the Stony Greek Railroad. The
murderer was John Kratz, and the victim
was his son Milton, aged nine years. Kratz
lived a quiet life with his wife and son
on a small farm. He made daily trips to
Philadelphia, and was considered here
abouts as a very shrewd buyer and seller
in stocks. During the past week he has
not been as successful in his transactions
as heretofore.
Yesterday morning he left home as usual
about Z o'clock and proceeded to Philadel-
phia. His success there was best told by
himself on his return yesterday afternoon,
about 3 O'Clock, when he exclaimed TO his
wife, we are ruined; | have lost all.
There's nothing left but the farm" His
wife tried TO comfort him and endeavored
to make him look for the silver lining OF
the overshadowing cloud. He would not
cheer up at first. but did seem to become
more reconciled in the course of an hour.
AT Ais o'clock his only child, Milton,
returned from school and danced about in
boyish glee. He readily ran to the work.

if he would turn the grindstone while he

pened when they arrived in the shop no
one knows or will ever know. When they
had been absent from the house about
half an hour Mrs. kratz thought she would
call in her son to study his lessons. Her
calls bringing no response, she went to in
yestigate the cause. when a horrible sight
met her eyes. There lay her husband and
the son on the floor in pools of blood which
had flowed from holes in their heads. The
husbands hand was still clutched to the
instrument of death. a .3S-calibre pistol.
Without waiting or investigating further
Mrs. Kratz gave the alarm, and neighbors
hastened to the spot.
Coroner McGlathery was notified. and
came with his physician, DR.. William Mill
err The doctor found that two bullets had
been fred into the boys head Immediately
back of the right ear. blowing out his
brains and causing instant death. The
murderer's own death was in the same
manner. except that but one bullet was re-
quired to kill. The walls of the room
where the tragedy was enacted were be-
shattered with blood.
