MAY PROVE TO BE MURDER.
Joseph Green at Hospital in Uncon
scious Condition

The police of the fifth precinct and the
surgeons at the Washington Asylum Hos
p1tal have a troublesome case on their
hands, which, they say, may prove to be a
case of murder. The police were informed
yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock that
Joseph Green, colored. thirty-nine years
old, had been assaulted with an ak and
seriously injured. 1t was stated that the
alleged assault had been committed by
Green's stepson, James Butler, nineteen
years old The home of Green, in King s
court southeast, was visited and an in
vestigation made. There was nothing to
show that he had been assaulted. DIR.
Wilder was then summoned and he was
unable to find any evidence of violence.
The mans condition, he informed the
police, appeared to have resulted from the
use of stimulants.
Green lapsed into Inconsistencies and
was unable to discuss his condition or to
give the police any information about the
alleged assault He remained in this con
dition all night, and when there was no
sign of improvement shown this morning
the ambulance was called and he was re-
moved to the hospital. His removal to the
hospital had caused no change in his con-
ditlon, and a casual examina ton of his
head failed to disclose any outward evil
dence of injury. Late this afternoon there
will be consultation held by the resident
and visiting surgeons at the hospital and
a more extensive examination will be made
The police are investigating the case az d
are looking for Butler to hear his eXplana-
ton of the alleged assault

Carnegie's Donation of $4,000.

The Washington Public Library commits
sion met yesterday afternoon in the board
room at the District building to consider
the matter of the expenditure of the addi-
tional $4,000 recently donated by Mr.. An

are being taken to secure the money for
immediate use. Mr.. Green was requested
to inform the commission what use would
be made of the funds
He stated that room is provided in the
building for book stack of five tiers On
account of lack of funds only three tiers
have thus far been put in The two addi-
tional tiers can be put in at cost of about
$4,000, including the dumb waiter for COM
runication with the other tiers. The walls
and ceilings are to be painted, they having
at present a simple water tint. On this
work. Mr.. Green said Sc 600 could be well
expended. Some additional furniture is
also required, which may cost 5000. An
arrangement for heating water. it was
stated, should also be provided. there being
no such arrangement in the building now
The stairway leading from the north base
ment door hall into the stacks should
have an Enclosure at the bottom to prevent
wind blowing up when the basement door
Is open. There should also be an Enclosure
of the electric elevator machinery in the
basement to keep the dust out These
things may cost $780,
Mr.. Noyes moved that arrangements be
made for the completion of the book stacks,
on Mr.. Green's approximate estimate of
$4,000 for that purpose, and that arrange
ment be made also for the suitable decora-
ton of the interior of the building, and that
any of the other items which Mr. Green has
suggested not already provided for by the
contingent fund Of the library. be fur
nished.
The motion was seconded by Col Symons,
and was adopted.
Mr.. Green was requested to communicate
with Mr.. Albert Randolph Ross, the archi-
tect, with reference to the proposed decora-
ton of the building. The commission adj
journed subject to the call of the president.

Major John E. Weyss Passes Away
Had Been Identified With En-
gineer Branch of Army.

The death of Major John E. Weyss. at
one time a personal friend of Presidents
Lincoln and Grant. occurred at 1850 o'clock
this morning at his home, 1915 Potomac
street northwest.
Although he had been ailing for several
years, death was due to heart trouble.
Major weyss had never been confined to
his bed during any part of his illness, his
death occurring this morning while he was
reclining in an armchair in his room. Sew
eral intimate friends only were present
when the end came-all his family, save a
sister, who resides in Austria, having died
Major Weyss was eighty-three years of
age.
The funeral services, which will be con-
Quoted according to the ritual of the George
c. Whiting Lodge. No. %, F. A. A. NJ, will

his late residence, the Rev. Frederick b.
HOwden, rector of ST. Johns Episcopal

Major WeysS was born in Austria, but
came to this country in 1S4S during the
revolution in Germany. He took up his
residence in New York, but later removed
to this city. He was renowned as a scien-

ton. In the early hftieS, however, he re-
signed from that institution and entered
the engineer corps of the army. He was
assigned to the staff of General Emory on
the government expeditions sent out to de-
termine the northwest boundary of Mexico
When the civil war broke out he became
actively engaged in the operations of the
United States troops and rendered valuable
services in many of the most important
battles of that war. Soon after being mus
tered out he re-entered the service, and
was identified with most of the important
engineering work Of the army up to ten
years ago, when he resigned and retired
from active life, making his home in the
house in which he died.
Major Weyss was a man of sterling quail
ties and was beloved by all who knew him.
He was reputed to be quite wealthy, and
1t is understood that in his will he made
several requests to charitable institutions
and organizations in which he was inter-
eSted.

OKLAHOMA CATTLE.
MEN COMPLAIN
Relative to Delay on Part Of Federal
inspection.


Cattlemen and farmers IL the south
western portion Of Oklahoma have
been making numerous complaints
relative TO the delay on the part Of
federal live stock inspectors In inspect
ing cattle ready for shipment to Kan
sas City or other markets. Secretary
Thomas Norris Of the Oklahoma Live
Stock Sanitary commission. has receiv-
ed many letters upon the matter. but
as the Oklahoma inspectors can only
inspect for Oklahoma cattle ready for
market shipment must be Inspected
by federal inspectors.
At the present time there is but one
federal inspector in the territory. This
man is Dr. Brewer who has been sta
toned at Oklahoma City At one time
there were three inspectors here. but
two of these men have been sent to
New Mexico to inspect cattle at the
annual spring round-ups. Dr. L. J.
Allen has had charge OF this disiafct
under the direction OF Colonel Albert
Dean of Kansas city Mo. who is in
charge Of the work Of the Bureau OF
Animal industry for Oklahoma and adj
joining states Or. Allen had help In
his work and very little complaint was
made while he was here.
It will be rememberer that during
the latter part of last year, infection
was found in the counties Of Greer.
Roger mills. Custer and washita and
an order made that ell cattle shipped
out Of this particular territory should
first be inspected by a federal inspec-
tor. All OF that part Of the counties
of Oklahoma, Logan and Noble. sying
west OK The Santa Fe railroad, was also
included IN the order issued by the de.
partment Every head OF cattle. fat
tened and ready for market has 10 be
inspected and it can be readily seen
what 1t meals to the catuemen who
has to wait until the federal inspector
arrives before he can load and ship
his fat stock In some Instances much
money has been lost by the order is-
sued by the department. bur there
seems to be little recourse
Letters have been sent out TO the
Bureau Of Animal industry asking that
additional men be stationed in okla
homa, but as yet no arrangements have
been made that have relieved the cat
etlemen and farmers OF their present
Inconvenience
During the session OF the last legis-
lahre, a resolution was adopted by
both branches requesting the depart
ment al Washington to pace another
federal Inspector in the Held In Okla
homa and 90 allow territorial inspec.
tors 10 make inspection and upon their
reports to allow cattle to be shipped
Ito market Little attention was paid
to the resolution, however, or at least
nothing definite has ever been heard
from it.
Governor Ferguson viii probably be
appealed to for assistance in the mat
ter as cattlemen claim they can not
afford 10 lose money by holding fat
cattle as they have been forced to do
this spring
Other parts OF Oklahoma expect the
counties mentioned above have no
trouble In making shipments It is
probable that II Infection should be
found N other counties that the de-
partment would make another order
j requiring rigid inspection of cattle for
shipment by federal inspectors.
