Washington. May (SpeciaD.-The Senate Naval
Committee has cut the last of Admiral Crownin-
shields barracks out Of the current appropriation
bill reported to-day, and will insist that the pre-

admiral Crownnshield visited Europe last year and
accumulated arguments in favor of building mill
tary barracks ashore for enlisted men of the Navy
where they could be comfortably housed and disci-
pned while waiting for ships. Secretary Long In
dorsed the Admirals reuuisition for 100000 10
build five Of these barracks, each at Boston,
New-York Philadelphia. Norfolk and Mare Island.
In the House this cut down to $4,000 for
permental buildings at New-York and Mare Island.
and now tho Senate has cut these two officers

cannot be made proficient ashore, and that the
sooner they afoat the better for them 1t is
also pointed out that naval barracks. even when
constructed, would necessarily remain empty UNI
less it was proposed to enlist more men than
needed for the ships in commissioner condition
which would be permitted to exist for any rea-

at Lees undertaking establishment, $50
Pennsylvania Avenue northwest, at IL
O'Clock yesterday morning the jury decided
that Henrietta Speier died at Columbia
Hospital Friday morning as the result OF
malpractice. The jury recommended that
Dr. Samuel 5. Bond of SIS New Jersey
Avenue northwest. be held for the ac-
ton of the grand jury in connection
with the case. Immediately after the
inquest Dr. Bond was taken into custody
by Detective Boyd. Later he was released

baugh, John H. Gheen was accepted as

Hebrew Cemetery.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook. who per-
formed the autopsy on the body OF Miss
Speier, was the first witness examined at
the inquest. He said he found her a we'll
developed woman. Her face showed ema-
citation as though she had suffered acute
pains. Her heart was about normal size,
and showed no disease. The right lung
affected, and gave evidence OF
slight asthmatic condition. There was
blood clot about the heart, resulting from
an operation which had caused death
Dr. Bond when called denied en-
phatically that he had operated on or
prescribed for any woman giving her name
as Speier. He had never seen any such
woman and knew nothing of the case, ex-
cept what he read in the papers. When
asked If he could recognize any patient
who had called at his Office eight or nine
times DR.. Bond replied afiirmatively. He
said he had a bad memory for names but
an excellent one for faces. He said that
he did not require Office patients to give
their names. III you saw the body of the
subject OF this inquest would you be able
TO say whether you had ever treated herr"
asked Deputy Coroner Glazebrook. Il
would" replied DR. Bond.
Deputy Coroner Glagebrook then took
DR.. Bond downstairs into the chapel where
the body Of the dead woman rested in
coffin. When he returned to the jury room
DR.. Bond reiterated that he had never pre-
scribed for Miss Speier at any time. When
closely questioned DR.. Bond denied that
he had ever seen her in life. He stated
that he had treated several patients since
January J. When asked If any patient had
ever offered him SO or diamond brooch
TO perform an operation. DR.. Bond replied
negatively and stated that he never ac-
cepted collateral from patients. This
statement closed the testimony and the
jury. after a short deliberation, returned
its verdict
