DEATH DUE TO ACCIDENT.
John T. Harville, Railway Brake
man. Inhales Poisonous Gas

John t. Harvlle, who was employed as a
brakeman on the Southern railway, acct
dentally left the gas turned on in his room
at Coxen's Hotel, 46S Pennsylvania ave-
nue., Saturday night, and he was fatally
poisoned. His dead body was found in bed
in the room yesterday morning. His rea-
tives and friends were notified and the
body was shipped to the late home of the
unfortunate man at Danvile, Va, this
morning.
Harville's death was purely an accident,
and the coroner gave certificate accord
insly. While he made fatal mistake,
probably through carelessness it was the
result of having a gas arrangement with
two keys close together that such an
accident is easily made possible. Coroner
hewitt has called attention to the danger
of having such fixtures in use. 1t is a COM
bination one, intended for lighting and
heating purposes Saturday night HarvilIe
engaged a room at the hotel. He was out
in town for while with some friends but
retired at a comparatively early hour. Be
fore he retired he turned the wrong key of
the gas fixtures and got into bed, leaving
bright light in the room. This light at
tracted the attention of pedestrians passing
the hotel and when an investigation was
made the dead body was found He was
identified by card found on him. which
showed that his family lived at Danville
while his parents home is at Spencer
N. C.
A member of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen came over from Alexandria and
took charge of the body. Undertaken J. w.
Lee prepared it for burial and shipped it
to Danville m the II o'clock train.

sousA,s BAND.
A Fine Program Rendered Before Big
Audience.


The enthusiasm of the audience that
packed the New National Theater last
evening to hear Sousa and his band must
have been gratifying to the march king"
1t was indeed an attestation of his appre-
citation by the people of his own home. The
program for last evenings concert was Sc
lected with view to please all classes and
ranged from gospel melodies to the coon songs
OF tn day, LisZt. Wagner, Arditi, Massenet
and Wieniawski were represented. but the
audience seemed to have a greater appre-
citation for the simpler melodies that were
played for the numerous encoreS.
The evening was in reality a reception in
honor of the man whose marches have
stirred the world. ,Sousa did not lose sight
of the fact that he was among his own peo-
pie. He knew what they wanted and he
satisfied them with his own productions
Hands Across the Sea- Eel Captain,
Beach" and his latest product, THE In
vincfble Eagle" which is bound to become
as popular as the others have been, met
with a hearty response.
Sousa has surrounded himself with a
force of good musicians who perform well
at the beck of his baton. Unlike some 9TH
ers of the big musical organizations that
tinctiveiy a military band. Yet the finest
orchestral effects are obtained.
Arthur PryorS solo work the from
bone was a pleasing feature of the program.
Miss Maude Reese-Davies is the soprano
soloist with Sousa on this visit. She gave
a delightful rendition of Arditrs Love in
Springtime." Miss Dorothy Hoyle is vio-
plause by he way she played Wienawski's

DRINKING WATER FOR SCHOOLS.
Lack Of Funds Prevents Provision for
Proper SuDplv


W. F. Rodrick, secretary of the board Of
education, has submitted a report to the
District Commissioners In regard to the
suggestion of the District Federation of
Women's Clubs that running water for
drinking purposes be placed on every floor
of public school buildings" He says the
matter was referred to the committee on
buildings. repairs and sanitation, which re-
ported as follows:
THE board of education many months
ago considered the ACCESSIBILITY Of placing
drinking water on the second and third
floors of school buildings; also the impor
lance Of furnishing Ice water during the
summer months. but has not been able to
carry out such plans because of no appro-
prlatton for such purposes. 1t is mani
festly evident that the Potomac water sup
ply is not at the present time fit for drink
ing purposes without first being filtered,
and while it may not be possible to run
water pipes to the second and third floors
OF the buildings without great expense, the
end desired can be reached by the purchase
of water coolers and filters for the old
buildings. In most of the new buildings
proper water facilities have been provided.
1t Is suggested to the Commissioners that
an immediate appropriation Of s., 500 be
made to purchase filters, water coolers and
Ice to furnish cool. pure water during the
summer days Of the school term"
