YOUNG WOMAN'S RASH ACT
THROWS HERSELF IN FRONT OF AN
ELECTRIC CAR.
Was Friend of Seymour Ayres, Victim
of Kenmore Tragedy-Grieved
Over His Death.

Miss Agnes Marcy, who was friend OF
James Seymour Ayres, the victim of the
Kenmore Hotel tragedy, attempted to com
nit suicide during the first hour of the
new year by throwing herself on the street
car tracks. in front of a moving car, al
most directly in front of her home, No.
80 New York avenue northeast. Her at
tempt would probably have been successful
had not the motorman, H. o. AyIors, dis
covered her in time to stop his car. She
was struck by the fender, but was not
seriously hurt.
Il heard a horn blown in Heaven de-
clared the young woman, land I received
a message telling me to throw myself in
front of a car
She also said she was tired of life and
if she is permitted to return home she will
kill herself
Miss Marcy is twenty-four years old and
has been keeping house. for her father.
Succeeding the tragedy enacted at
the Kenmore Hotel, the young woman
was very much affected, and grief caused
by the death of Ayres, it is believed by
some of her friends. is responsible for her
present condition. She first met him at a
dance, and afterward they attended num-
Der of dances together. He had an en-
gagement with her the Saturday night be-
fore he was killed. but for some unex-
evening. She had so much confidence in
Ayres, however. that she certain his
reason for failing to meet her was good
one.
Last night she stated to friend that she
was going away, but no attention was paid
to her remark. Members of the family re-
tired about the usual hour. and about 12:45
o'clock Miss Agnes left the house. wrapped
only in blanket. There was a street car
In sight, and just before it reached her she
threw aside the blanket and fell across the
the current, and applying the brakes he
brought the car to a standstill just about
the time it struck the woman.
Face Cut and Bruised.
Miss Marcys face was cut in several
places, and cuts and bruises about her body
We're also discovered. The presence of
quantity of blood on the woman's face
caused the belief that her injuries were Sc
rious. She was carried to McDonalds s drug
store, corner of North Capitol street and
New York avenue, where the druggist did
what he could to make her comfortable un-
til the arrival of the ambulance, when she
was removed to the Emergency Hospital.
The physicians there discovered she was
but slightly hurt. Her mental condition,
the doctors stated, was somewhat impaired,
and specialist will treat her for nervous
ness. Today she repeated the statement
that she wanted to die, and says she hopes
she will succeed the next time.

The District Commissioners have de-
clined to grant any further permits to the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany for the stringing of aerial cables.
The electrical engineer recently advised
this course, as stated in The Star at the
time. In speaking of the action of the
Commissioners, Mr.. Macfarland, president
of the District board said:
THE Commissioners have received re-
Gently a number of applications from the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany for permission to establish large
and upon improved streets outside these
over housetops and along suburban streets
to these poles, After a careful considera-
ton of the subject, they have decided that
the Disagreement of the District by such
constructions and the increase in danger
from them require that they shall be
stopped and that these cables be put un-
derground and they have therefore de-
clined to grant the necessary permits.
The Commissioners regret that num-
Der of prospective telephone subscribers
will thus be deprived Of service for time,
but they feel that the best interests of the
District demanded this decision The re-
lief for those affected lies with Congress,
which alone has power to grant extensions
of the telephone conduit system. Until
such underground privileges are granted all
extensions of the telephone system must
necessarily be overhead"

Ing II It's stoker will be accepted as part of
the equipment Of the pumping plant at
TrumbuH street. Engineer Commissioner

Commissioners believed would be satisfac-
tory. The bidders were required In sub
mitting their biGs. to specify what kind of
machinery and whose make would be used
IN each case. This has been done, and it
does not seem practicable that If anv of

nave specified already in their bids the
Acme stoker 1t will be considered the same
as any other stoker. But IT does not seem
possible that 1t can be considered at this
time.
