Injury.
HUNTING FOR The MURDERER

New York, May 17-Aithough he
had knife blade in his heart,
William Barrett was treated by
| physicians for pneumonia and lived for
many days.
Not until an autopsy was performed up
| on him, at the City Hospital last We'd
sternum showed that the man had been
| wounded. The skin over the breast bone,
| which was pierced by the knife had ap-
| parently healed. but the puncture In the
| sternum showed that he man had been
| stabbed.
| How long Barrett lived after receiving
| the injury which resulted In his death Is
| matter OF conjecture at the present
stage OF the investigation which is being
| made by coroner and police.
He may have carried the knife blade
for several weeks.
Barrett was twenty-four years OF age.
He was a truckman. although generally
out of employment.
He was frequently seen In Bowery sa-
looms and lodging houses. His relatives
say that he had associates who were dis
reputable. and that they often had re-
buked him on that account.
HIS MOTHERS ADMISSION.
His mother. although she insists that
her son died from pneumonia, no matter
what the surgeons may say. admits that
on May he had fight, in which he was
badly beaten.
He went on the morning of May last
to the Outdoor Poor Bureau of the De-
partment of Charity. He said he was Ill
and wished to be sent TO hospital.
Dr. George Bauer, who made a super
fetal examination, said the man was suf-
fering from pneumonia and alcoholism.
Barrett was sent the same afternoon to
the City Hospital, where he was treated
for pneumonia. He died on May IL.
With the consent OF his mother an au-
topsy was held. The surgeons found that
the lungs were filled from a hemorrhag ge,
which had evidently been from the heart,
but they found that knife blade was
imbedded in the pericardium or membrane
which enfolds the heart.
The knife blade was also partly imbed-
ded in the sternum, and had nearly
worked its way out OF the bone.
Although II was said that the man had
been in the habit OF drinking TO excess.
there was nothing in the condition CT any
OF the organs to indicate that such was
the case.
The brain and the stomach were in a
normal condition.
BODY SENT TO THE MoRGUE.
Barrett's body was sent to the morgue
and Coroner Moses Jackson was notified.
DIR. O'Hanlon will make a second autop-
sy
The blade which inflicted the injury is
In the possession of the superintendent
of the City Hospital.
The blade is narrow and sharply point
ed The steel Is we'll tempered and the
fragment can almost be bent by the pres
sure OF the fingers.
Barrett had a cousin, Thomas Barrett
who once incurred the enmity OF several
Italians
An Italian named lombard was chas.
t'sed by Thomas Barrett for insulting bis

He stabbed Barrett to death and was
sent to prison for twenty years.

Diocesan Heal Pronouncss II an Ah,mIna.
tIun, and Says II Mast Cease Without
Further Ceremony

New York, May 17.-Bishop Burgess, OF
the Episcopal diocese OF Long Island. has
sent out a notice that the presence OF
women i'm the surpliced choirs of the do
cese is distasteful to him, and he has
ordered that the women singers In the
nine missions attached to the Cathedral
OF the Incarnation, be retired as soon as
possible.
IL don't want 70 hamper the rectors
OF the missions in their work" Bishop
Burgess said yesterday, "but the women
must not appear in the surpliced choirs.
Cassocks and surplices were not made
for women and were never intended to
be worn by them. The pastors of the
missions attached TO the cathedral VIII
have 10 fill up their choirs with boys
and men as speedily as possible. hope
other churches In the diocese will follow
the example.
Women should not wear cassocks and
surplices, which have belonged TO men
from the earliest time In the church. 1

her to don such raiment. The whole

the last Is years and was first introduced
by DR.. Rainsford I'm st. Georges churcn,
Manhattan. think IL an abomination and
will stop IL all i can.
II don't object to the women singing
in the churches, but do object to their
marching around in cassocks, and sur
plices. If they wish to sing, they should
be put on the floor on a level with the
the congregation or up in a gllery, where
they would not be so conspicuous as now.
They might even be dressed In some dis
tinctive manner. but IL a uniform is used
IL should be OF "A womanly character. and
not cassock and surplice. l have al
ways been opposed to IT, and never had
any such thing In my church"
About half OF the churches I'm the dio-
cese have women singers in their choirs.
There was much difficulty in securing
boy sopranos and women were subsu-
tuted 1t is thought that the bishops
request will be needed by every church
and that the women will be gradually
weeded out

Buzzard Blue.

1t has just been discovered, presum-
ably by a French scientist, that the
miniature bUzzard commonly known
in New Jersey and vicinity as the mos
quito has a color sense so extremely
keen that it exerts a great influence
on its life and methods. 1t appears
that r]apaciOUs insect has a pronounced
preference for dark blue and a de-
cided aversion to yellow. This fact
should set the fashion in pajama colors
and lead the bald headed ~Jerseyman
to adopt the practice of ~incasing mis-
dome of thought in a saffron envelope,
like that Of a ham. at night. 1t should
also win benisOns and shekels of gold
and silver for the scientist who has
discovered that the mystic minstrel of
the marsh and mere is not color blind.
