DIED SERVING HIS SENTENCE.
William w. McCauley Expires at the
Washington Asylum Hospital.

William W. McCauley, a prisoner at the
workhouse, died at the Washington Asylum
Hospital about noon today under circum-
stances which will probably result in an
investigation by Coroner hewitt. At an
early hour this morning he was found IN
a semi-conscious condition in his cell at
the institution. A physician from the asy-
ium hospital was summoned and McCau-
ley was removed to that institution. He
said he had several commissions during the
night and fell to the floor, striking his
head. An examination made by the
surgeons and 1t was found that his skull
had been fractured. He did not improve
under treatment and his death ensued
shortly before noon.
The matter was reported to police head
quarters and Detectives McNamee and
cation, as 1t was considered possible that
the man might have received his death
blow prior to his arrest.
McCauley was sentenced from the Police
Court yesterday by Judge Kimball to pay
a fine of $40 or spend thirty days in the
workhouse as the alternative. He was ar
rested by Policeman Leach OF the fourth
precinct Wednesday night. and when the
case was called before Judge Kimball the
officer said that the man had been drunk
frequently during the last month. McCau-
ley, who was in very nervous condition,
denied that he had been drinking and de-
but 1t made him sick. McCauley was
thirty-nine years old and resided with his
wife and two children at 1900 9th street
southwest

WHAT MAY RESULT.
Diplomatic Relations With Colombia
May Be Severed.

1t seems to be accepted in diplomatic
circles that the issue raised between the
United States and Colombia over the new
republic of Panama will result in the sew
erance of diplomatic relations between the
two governments sTen if more serious con-
sequences do not follow. So far as known
no instructions have been given for the
withdrawal of either Mr. Beaupre, the
United States minister at Bogota. or Mr.
Herran. the Colombian charge at Washing
ton, but it is realized that such action will
probably follow the recognition of the Pan
anna republic by the United States.
Mr.. Beaupre has been granted leave of
absence to return to the United States and
1T was admitted at the State Department
that such action was taken because of the
action of the Colombian government in re-
jecting the Hay-Herran treaty. That Mr..
Beaupre is believed to be still at Bogota is
evidenced by the fact that the Secretary of
State cabled to that address today.
Although Mr.. Herran has not been recall
ed up to date it is believed that action to
that end will not be delayed much longer.
Gable communication with Bogota is slow
and uncertain. and to that cause is attribut-
ed the fact that Mr.. Herran has not heard
from the Colombian authorities during the
past few days.

FIREMEN KEPT BUSY,
Three Alarms of Fire Sounded Before
Noon Today.

Three calls were made on the fire de-
partment this morning. The first came in
about 8 o'clock, when an alarm was sound
ed for blaze in the kitchen at the house
of A. P. Smith, 141S Sth street northwest.
A defective fue caused the fire, which was
extinguished before more than So damage
had been done. A few minutes later No
Is engine company was called to the house
of Beverly Neil, on Douglass avenue, Hills
dale and extinguished fire. The blaze
was in the kitchen. and was caused by an
overheated stove. About $50 damage was
the result. The presence of fire engines in
the vicinity of 18th and F streets about
II 80 o'clock attracted a big crowd and
caused some excitement Policeman Talbert
summoned the companies because escaping
steam made it appear that there was fire
at $40 11th street. The firemen, however
found that their services were not needed

NEW YORK, November 6-The stock
market again opened with new low records
for the United States Steel securities, 5000
shares of the preferred selling at 54A and
54As, compared with the close of 54a4 last
night.
Three thousand five hundred shares of
the common sold at 10s. and 1O7s, COM
pared with last nights close of IL, and the
second bonds sold at 66$4. Smelling was
off about point. Otherwise the changes
were restricted to small fractions. and
many of the prominent railroad stocks
were unchanged.
The absence of any pressure against the
standard railroad stocks caused some buy
ing. and st. Paul, Atchisen, New York

tons.
The improvement in these stocks pulled
up the United States Steel properties for
time, the common rising to lis.
Large blocks of United States Steel pre-
ferred were unloaded on the rally. and the
deluge of offerings broke the price to 52B
loss over night of over 2 points The

THE SPEAKER PROSPECTIVE.
Mr.. Cannon Has His Hands Full in Re-

THE boys as they came holding a Ievee
during the greater part of the day.
or course. the subject of committee as
signment is a burning question to all the
new members and quite important to many
of the old ones. so the Speaker-to be has
his hands fun. Mr.. Cannon has often had
his laugh at Mr.. Henderson and Mr.. Reed
and Mr. Crisp about the troubles of the
Speaker and now is serving his time with
them.
Probably the greatest pressure is for the
i've vacancies on the ways and means COM
mittee. Iowa wants representation ard
Representative Bob Cousins is 4 clnd-

W ilham Alden Smith and Mr. Fordney.
Indiana also has two candidates Mr.. Wat
sor and Mr.. Diversified Kansas presents
Mi Curtis: all these states having had
representation on the committee heret ofore
and claiming place.
Some twelve or fifteen new members have
asked appointment on ways and means
committee and some of them are exerting
all kinds of pressure to get there. regard
less of the fact that il would be miracle
for a man to secure a plum of that
kind.
The craftsmanship of the committee on
post offices and post roads is likely to at
tract attention. 1t has been suggested that
Representative Overstreet of Indiana
should be appointed especially in view OF
the possibility of extensive investiga-
ton by that committee of the post Office
scandals. .e D. ~
MIR. Overstreets friends say that he has
not asked for the assignment and that they
know he does not want 1t, preferring a
place on ways and means. because he has
had some pretty strenuous service in the
House and now would be glad to have a
little let up by serving on committee
which would not be busy as post office
and post roads promises to be.
