Mrs. ParmaIee. accompanied by her son,
who is about sixteen years of age, went 70

she left her husband assured her that he
would follow When Mr.. Parmalee failed
to arrive the son ran back to the home to
learn the cause but could not find his
father He tried the bathroom door, but
found this locked. Fearing that an acci

MI Pile a neighbor, 10 assist in entering

the son climbed through the window he
saw the form of his father lying in the
bathtub. face downward and blood flowing
from his head.
He Immediately summoned policeman
and the PROSTATE body was lifted from the
tub which was partially filled with water
a revolver lay in the water The five
chambers had been emptied. and two bull
let holes marked the forehead and another
the base of the brain He had been dead
some minutes.
A relative of Mr. Parmalee said that Ill

A meeting of the House Committee on
Appropriations viii be called by Chair
man Cannon for January 4. the day after
Congress will reassemble. At that time
the usual subcommittees to have charge Of
the several appropriation bills will be ap-
pointed. and the committee viii probably
be asked TO approve the first urgent de-
ficiency appropriation bill of the session.
This viii carry something over $50

operations of the military arm Of the Coy
eminent although the Attorney General
has asked Congress for $500, 600 to pay ex-
penses of administering justice in the Fed

appropriations made therefor.
With the presentation of this bill doubt
less will come the first contest on the floor
Of the House over the Philippine question,
and the policy Of the Administration in
relation thereto.
The fact that the proposed appropriation
is for military expenses in those islands
viii make debate on the subject pertinent

CHANGES IN BUREAU WORK.

Important improvements.


Plans for an Improvement in the system

under consideration by the Secretary Of
War. Secretary Root is Of the opinion that
scme changes can be inaugUrated tnGt va

recently he called upon the officers in
charge OF the different bureaus fer sug-
ge5tions as to changes that might be CT

II was said today that the charges con
tempIated do not. refer in any way TO tne
personnel OF the different bureaus, tut en-
tireiy 10 the method OF work. There have
been frequent complaints by some OF t-e
bureaus that other bureaus had charge OF
work that did not properly be.Oag 20 tdem.
There has been much criticism OF the
system that provides that the QuaTte'mas-
ter Generals Department shall furnish The
Army with ovens tor the soldiers ana the
Ordnance Department the mess kits. TIE
annual reports of several of tte command

DR.. STEELE FOUND DEAD.
4 Supposed Victim of Morphine at
the Enrich Hotel.

The body of Dr. A. Fl. Steele who is
said TO be a resident of this city, was
found in room 50 at the Enrich Hotel, ASS
Pennsylvania Avenue northwest. shortly
after 10 O'Clock last night. The remains
were removed to the morgue, and Cor
oner Carr was notified, Efforts to locate
the friends CT the deceased last night
proved unavaiing.
From surface indications it would appear
that DR.. Steele died from the effects of an
overdose Of morphine. A hypodermic syr-
inge and small box, almost empty, which
is believed to have contained the drug,
we're found on a bureau near the body
Steele registered at the hotel about
clock Monday afternoon and was assigned
TO the room. He retired to his room at
once locked the door, and was not again
seen until his body was found last night by
the night clerk, II. c. Rupert, who had
assigned the room occupied by Steele 10 an
other party Rupert went to the apart
ment in advance OF the guest to ascertain
whether everything was in readiness for
use. Some difficulty was experienced in
opening the door to the room which was
finally forced. The body of Steele was
discovered partly disrobed, lying across
the bed, with the hands tightly clutched
above the chest.
The clerk notified Mr. c. NJ. Enrich,
proprietor of the hotel, and the men went
together to the room, first despatching
messenger for the police. Policemen Curry.
Gibson. and Nussbaum were despatched to
the hotel and took charge of the remains.
Notice was sent to the Coroner of the
death. and the remains were removed to
the morgue in the dead wagon
The appearance of the room where Steele
was found was orderly in the main. On
bureau opposite the door were found the
collar. hat and other portions of the cloth
ing of the dead man. Steele was cripple.
and pair of crutches lay on the floor
near the single window Of the room From
the appearance OF the corpse it was thought
the man had been dead over twelve hours.

At the morgue, after midnight the cloth
ing Of the dead man was searched, but
nothing of value was found. Tn to an
early hour this morning the police were
unable to furnish additional information
