OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE
A. ERWIN WILLIAMS DIES FROM
EFFECT OF THE DRUG.
Was an EmplOye of the Telephone
Company and Highly Regarded
and Connected.

A. Erwin Williams, thirty-one years old. a
clerk in the supply department of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany, died at the Emergency Hospital at 8
O'Clock this morning from an overdose Of
morphine The fatal dose is supposed to
have been taken about IL o'clock last
night, when the dead man retired in his
room In the boarding house 519 18th street
northwest
After investigating the case Coroner
hewitt decided to render a verdict of acci-
dental death. as there was nothing to
show that there was suicidal intent. VIII
liams was a druggist by profession, and it
Is said by the physicians who attended
him that he was addicted to the of the
drug which caused his death An hour or
so after his death the police brought James
Young, man about the age of Williams,
to the hospital from the same house.
Young was either drunk or suffering from
the influence of morphine. After being
treated he was taken to jail to sober UP.
He was taken into custody on the belief
that he might account for the death of
Williams. He said, however, that VIII
liams was his best friend. and that when
he heard he was dead he had got drunk
Bore Excellent Reputation.
At the office of the telephone company
Williams bore a most excellent reputation.
He came to work for them from Baltimore
in 1897 His family connections said TO
be most excellent. His brother, who has
been telephoned for, is cashier Of the Old
Town Bank of Baltimore. He will arrive
here today and take charge of the remains
The Iandlady at 519 18th street says that
she looked into Williams room about IL
o clock last night; that she half-pint
bottle of whisky OH his table, which was
partially empty, and that Williams was
in bed and apparently asleep. He did not
come down to breakfast at the usual time
this morning, and she again went to his
room She at once saw that something
serious was the matter with him, and sent
at once both for doctor and for the am
buiance Of the Emergency Hospital.
Williams worked until about o'clock
last night at his books In the office Of the
telephone company, and when he left said
to a fellow clerk that he was tired and
would go home and to bed.

THE RAILWAY MACHINISTS.
Expected Adjustment in the Philadel
phfa and Heading shops.


READING, Pa, July 2O.-A calm has de-
veIoped today in the trouble at the Phila-
delphia and Reading railway shops here,
due to the fact that the sixty imported
mechanics were not put to work. The
men who walked out yesterday because of
the presence OF the strangers are still
away, and the employees who remained
are awaiting the action of the company
as to the disposition of the strangers. The
latter remain quartered on the third floor
of the locomotive shops.
The strikers were directed not to go on
company at any time, and to at all times
refrain from acts Of violence. They were
also cautioned to stay away from saloons
Chief of Police Miller said today that If
any disorder occurred he would hold the
coal and iron police responsible; that
strike involving 1900 men had continued
here for thirteen weeks without a particle
of disorder and without the presence of
special officers. and there was no neces-
sity for any Of them now.
The prevailing impression here this
morning is that Superintendent Prince of
the Reading shops is trying to settle the
strike, but the company Is giving out no
details. Big crowds gathered around the
shops at 9:30 am, expecting more men
to go out, but the expected detection did
not take place 1t is now said that the
employees still at work decided to give Mr..
Prince until Monday before doing anything
decisive.

MAJ. woODRUFF's OFFENsE.
Sentenced to Be AdmOnished by tn
Department Com mander

Sentenced to Be Admonished by the
Department Commander.
General orders from the Department Of
the Missouri publish the proceedings in the
case Of Major Charles E. Woodruff, sur
geon. U. 8. A. who was tried by court
martial and found guilty of Conduct
prejudicial to good order and military dis
cipline in violation Of the sixty-second ar
ticle Of war" and sentenced to be ad-
moniished by the department commander
The offense Of which Major Woodruff was
found guilty was a lapse In his official
duty. An acting hospital steward In the
department had been ordered to report to
Capt. H. R. Anderson, Field Artillery, to
accompany that officers battery on a prac-
tice march. Surgeon Woodruff requested
that the steward be allowed to remain be-
hind to assist him In operations and other
surgical work. The court found that Major
Woodruff misrepresented the emergency In
volved in the case. and that the occasion
did not Justify the stewards detention.
1t also developed that Major Woodruff
did not submit his request for the stew
ards detention until six hours after the
departure of the battery from the post
without him.
After approving the proceedings of the
court and delivering the admonishmeut or
dered by the sentence General Merriam
concludes: 'sN seems further needful to
admonish Major Woodruff that such disre-
gard of manifest duty cannot be tolerated
In a military command. where the first,
last and unceasing requisites are cheerful
respect for authority and loyal obedience
of orders.

Contingency Under Which Receiver
Raynor Will Bring Suit.

Mr. Charles G. Dawes the controller of
the currency is in New York in conference
with Forrest Raynor, the receiver of the
Seventh National Bank. and last night gave
out the following statement regarding the
banks affairs:
THE controller of the currency, upon the
reports received from Forrest Raynor, as
receiver of the Seventh National Bank,
cannot deem as valid the transactions
made by that bank within two days of it's
failure. whereby a large portion of it's as
sets We're at first transferred to the Bowl
ing Green Trust Company, AS trustee, to
secure loans Of about 81 .2iS. 900 made to the
bank by or through its directors. to enable
the bank TO pay a portion of its existing
liabilities, and whereby il was afterward
attempted to sell about 81 .2SS.OOO of the ne
gOtiable paper held by the bank to the
makers Of the said loans of 1.20S,0O0 in
order to pay such loans
TN this transaction there was an at
tempted pledge of 100000 additional of the
banks assets AS security for an alleged
guarantee by the bank, in the sum of $3.50
OOO, of the collection of the paper embraced
in the attempted sale. This transaction re-
suited in a preferential payment of a por-
tiOn OF the banks liabilities at the time
when. as ii now appears. the bank was in
solvent. and the transaction seems to have
been made with one or more directors of
the bank, or with persons having knOwl-
edge OF charged with knowledge of the
btnk : Sltud tlDh Unless the claims of
those who advanced this 81 2OS. 900 to the
bank are placed upon the basis of creditors
proving claims for dividends the rights Of
the dsUnsirOrs seem 20 be materially affect
~ by thesa transactions
~ Mess. therefore. the directors, within
two weeks further time granted TO them
for the purpose. provide money TO pay the

tI'n on their part would avoid the necessi-
u and expense of legal proceedings-the
rtrNiTer has been directed TO institute suit

in this EGGEnctiou.''
NT- Dawes position is that those who
ipaHti the bank money a few days before
lis failure ard secured themselves by as
sets "iI hay" 10 return these assets to the
'+&k dnd take their chances along with
'tAcr creditors. They cannot make them
selves referred creditors by fully securing
i"e loans they made. President Thomas
tsJaer is one of those who went to the
banks rescue with a loan
