Everybody seems to be at sea over the
identity of the person to whom the gov
ernor's second nomination to place on the
State Board of Control has been rendered.
1t has been rendered, but to whom? This is
the question asked on every side today. Last
evening Governor Shaw left the city, pre-
sumably in the interets of this appointment.
1t was reported that he went to Chicago,
but those who claim to be on the inside say
the governor is not out of the state. Just
where he is no one seems able to tell, but
that he is away in the interest of the APP
pointment every one agrees. 1t was ad-
mitted in the executive office today that he
would probably return to Des Moines today
and his second nomination be sent to the
senate tomorrow. Meanwhile the guesses
are divided among the names of j. G. Hutch
ison of Ottumwa, ex-senator Fl. L. Water
man of Ottumwa, Major C. A. Stanton of
Centerville, Major E. A. Consistency of Avoca,
Judge G. S. Robinson of Sioux City and a
few others. 1t is known that Hutchinson,
Waterman or Robinson would be acceptable
TO the Rood opponents. Many believe the
governor is considering a man outside the
list heretofore discussed.
The senate, passed, the bill which pro-
vidcs that the school fund may be loaned
in sums as high as SO, 600 and at as low a
rate as 5 per cent, one-half of 1 per cent
to go to the county for handling the funds.
Trewin's bill providing that a. liquor fines
shall go to the county treasury instead of
the school fund, as now, was indefinitely
postponed, as was Crossley's bill to make
county attorneys members of county boards

SUDDEN DEATH.
Washington Contractor Falls
StupOr and Does Not Recover.


StupOr and Does Not Recover.
Thomas A. O'Donnell, n contractor, who
lived at No. 1917 K street northeast, died
in the City Hospital in Baltimore about
noon yesterday. His death occurred under
such circumstances that Coroner Saunders
at once started a rigid investigation. The
body was sent to the morgue and DR.. N. G.
keirle, the city post-mortem physician,
was directed to hold autopsy this after
noon. Should the doctor deem it necessary
the contents of the stomach will be sent to
a chemist for analysis.
ODonnell spent Saturday evening at the
Olympia Theater, No. 3 North Gay street.
Il is stated that he took a number of
drinks. About midnight he fell to the
floor, and a policeman was called This po-
liceman, It is stated, declined to care for
him, thinking he was helplessly intoxicated
and that he might remain on the floor until
he got sober. At 2:4O o'clock in the morn
ing, when there had been no change in the
mans condition, Sergeant Weaver was
summoned. Seeing that O'Donnell was I'M
conscious, he sent for DR.. Thomas Sudler
of No. 100 East Baltimore street, who made
an effort to restore consciousness. few
minutes later the dying man, whose life, 1t
is believed, might have been saved by
prompt action, was on his way to the hos
pital.
Berney Louis, proprietor of the theater,
turned over to the police $10S.63 that had
cards found upon the dead man revealed
his identity. In his pocket the police also
found a red paper box labeled morphine
Poison" on which was the advertisement
of Powers & Weightman, druggists, Phila-
delphia. While there was nothing in 1t, the
police believe that it had contained NOR
phine.
From statements made to the Baltimore
police it is said ODonnell reached the thea
ter about 6 o'clock Saturday and remained
there until he fell in a stupor. He stated
in a conversation with the proprietor of the
theater that he had come over there from
this city to meet a bricklayer on business.
The cause of death may be determined at
the inquest, which will be held tonight az
the central police station.
Yesterday afternoon information of the
affair reached police headquarters from
Marshal Hamilton, and Detective Barbee
was sent to the house on K street to break
the news to Mrs O'Donnell Upon his ar
rival at the house he met Mrs. ODonnell,
who had just returned from drive with
her five children. The shock was severe
one to the widow and she was completely
overcome with grief.
Mr. ODonnell was about fifty years old
and was well known in business circles. He
had built several public school buildings in
this city, and had several big contracts on
his hands when he left here two days ago.
Relatives went over to Baltimore last night
and will probably attend the inquest there
tonight. 1t is likely that the body will
reach here tomorrow morning.

Drunkenness and Crime.

While listening to a learned argument
yesterday on the question of responsibility

NJ e. A. Shut Out Metropolitans.

Although the score denoted a somewhat
one-sided game, the contest between the Y.
NJ. c. A. and the Metropolitan Athletic club
foot ball teams Saturday afternoon at Van
Ness Park was an exciting one throughout.
The Athletic team was greatly outweighed,
and were not able to Withstand the fierce
line plunges of their heavy opponents, who
punctured their line for gain after gain. The
Association boys also made many yards by
fine runs around the ends. Although light
er, the Athletic boys died hard, and by
game work kept the score down to II to ..
Merely, full back for the Association, made
all three touchdowns, and TWO goals were
kicked by Morrison. The playing Of Bur
rus, Baker, Merely and the two MCQUEEN
bows for the Y. NJ c. A.. and Gibson, Con-
ner and Walker for the Metropolitan team,
were features of the game. The Young
Mems Christian Association will line up

afternoon, when good contest is looked
for.

Monroe streetd Anacostia. The closed car
had justsrounded the curve at Maple ave-

gentle grade below struck the open car,
which was standing ahead on the same
track, with loud crash that attracted a
number of people to the scene The force
of the collision was enough to shove the
open car along some distance, send its
trolley poles flying upward and knock part
of the headlight of the box car out There
were no passengers on the open car While
No. 745 was well filled with people. No one
was injured, however.
