THE ANCIENT NAME OF SMITH.
Among the yet unpublished curioeities
of the Petrie papyri Is list OF names
connected with the manufacture OF beer,
which we know to have been q popular
drink in ancient Egypt, says the Athe-
:naeum. These names have q figure af-
ter each OF them, so that the document
is evidently an account OF what each
had done, or OF what he had to supply.
Many OF the names are 80 odd, and 80
unlike either Greek or Egyptian names.
that we suspect them to be abbrevia-
tons, which merely indicate the full
name, and perhaps the fathers, name.
Even SO. the slight variants We find in
the often repeated list giver us but oc-
.caslonal help. There is one which ap-
pears regularly in the same form. and OF
which we can give no further explana-
ton. It's the name of Smith-unmis-
.takably written. We have never found
anything like 1T before. and 1t is surely
worth telling the many distinguished
bearers OF the name that there wac a
man known as Smith in the twentieth
century Of the third Ptolemy. 227 b. c.,
and that he was occupied in brewing
beer or in selling 1t. Is there any other
English name comparable to this in
antiquity?

The Sham Battle,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
There is disposition to make as great a

the first discharges we took them for sud-

he thorght the noise one of the frequent

found, however, that it was dispensation

cannot well be had without shooting, and
as the shooting cannot be done without a
noise, the permission to make the noise goes
necessarily with the authority to order the

civil authorities should have been asked
and that the commanding officer misin-
terpreted the law. Then the law should
have been written in such way that it
could not be misunderstood. The general is

Joseph West, fifty-three years in the en-
ploy of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
will receive of the gold medals for
fifty years service, which will be a pass for
life. Mr.. West is seventy-tive years of age
and is an engineer on passenger trains be-
tween Cumberland and Baltimore When
he began as a freight conductor in 1917
the road extended only to Cumberland
He also acted as brakeman, applying the
wooden brakes on each car. He was later
a fireman, using cord wood of fifteen-inch
length In 1850 he became an engineer,
first on "grasshopper," then a Ross Wi
mans, "canel-back.'
There were but three grasshopper engines
built, and those We're constructed especially
for the traffic between Baltimore and Eli
colt City, distance of fifteen miles. 1t
was soon discovered that engines of a diff
ferent design would be needed, and the
'graSShOpperS' We're sent to the Mount
Glare yards in Baltimore, where two of
them are still used for switching purposes.
The third engine was loaned to the Pitts
burg exposition several years ago, and

WEAK HEART CAUSES DEATH
LUDWIG GUDEN EXPIRES IN CELL At
POLICE STATION
Was Accused of Obtaining Money Tn
der False Prctenscs-Arrested
in PattimOrc.

DR.. Ludwig Guden, otherwise known as
Dr. Ludwig Reiter, who was arrested in
Baltimore yesterday for the authorities
here, as published In yesterdays Star, was
brought to Washington late in the after
noon by Detective Miller and locked up at
the first precinct station. About 10 o'clock
last night he became i'll in his cell and died
almost Immediately. His body was removed
to the morgue. where an autopsy was per-
formed this afternoon by Deputy Coroner
Glazebrook.
The Bavarian doctor was arrested in Bal
timore at the request of Inspector Board
man. With money that he had obtained
in this city, under alleged false pretenses,
he had purchased a ticket for Bremen and
had sent his baggage aboard the North
German Lloyd steamer Rhein, on which he
was about to sail. The valuable gold watch
and chain he had obtained from Rudolf B.
Swickardl he had on him when arrested
He returned with Detective Miller without
the formality of a reQu:sition. On his way
here he complained of being sick Later
when he confronted some of his alleged
victims at the first precinct station he also
said he was sick. and asked them not to be
hard on him. Because of his Illness, he
tons. but expressed belief that he would be
all right in couple of days
Remark Frishtens Him.
Before leaving the prisoner, who came
here stranger two weeks ago and gained
the confidence of many persons, one of his
alleged victims jokingly remarked:
Wait till l see you at Sing Sing
This had the effect of frightening the
prisoner, the police believe. for he was
very nervous when he returned to his cell.
About 10 O'Clock the attention of the sta
ticnkeeper ard Policeman Austin was at
tractet. by the prisoner groaning. and when
they reached his cell they found him on
his knees apparently suffering intense pain.
The cell door was opened and the police ap-
pied remedies while waiting for the arrival
of a physician. Dr. Smith of the Emer-
gency Hospital staff, who reached the sta
ton in few minutes, found that life was
extinct
So far as the police know, DIR. Guden, or
DR.. Reiter, obtained from people in this city
a little more than 500 and the watch and
chain. During the time the doctor was in
this city he boosted of his ancestry. He
said his father was doctor to King Ludwig
of Bavaria, who was drowned number of
years ago. and was with the king at the
time and was also drowned. He frequently
referred to his brother, who. he said, was
military officer. What the mans name
really was the police do not know.
After his arrest he admitted that he had
obtained money from a number of people
here. but said he merely borrowed it, and
declared it was his intention to return 1t
after he reached home.
The autopsy showed that death resulted
from a weak heart, and was caused by
excitement.
