STUDIED HIMSELF
INTO THE GRAVE
Pathetic End Of William Window
Merkle.

One OF the most highly esteemed young
railroad men in the city. William Win
dom Merkle, the local agent of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad. died at s
O'Clock this morning in sibley Hospital
from meningitis. the direct result OF
Overstudy. His friends say he really
studied himself to death.
Mr.. Merkle came to this city from
New York about four years ago. and
since that time he had studied law and
had been admitted to practice in the
Supreme Court OF the District. had made
himself an expert stenographer and had
taken uD the study Of medicine.
All of this be did while attending tc
his duties as the agent of the Canadian
Pacific. He was of delicate moIG, and
he was warned by his friends that the
strain would prove fatal But he laughed
at them A few weeks ago he went on
a vacation 10 Oklahoma. but Instead OF
resting he continued his studies. When
he returned he complained of having
malaria. This developed into what was
supposed to be typhoid, AMI believ ug
himself TO be suffering from The latter
trouble he went to the hospital Thurs
day.
There the doctors discovered that The
young man had studied himself into q
fatal illness. Their efforts were futile,
and last night he lost consciousness,
and this morning the doctors sent for
his friends. z. c. Whitaker and Z. J.
Lockwood. of the Norfolk and Western.
and Gerald II. Griffin, of the Canadian
Pacific, went to the hospital, but Mr.
Merkle could not recognize them. Mrs.
Lockwood was sent for, and she re-
mained until the end, which came at 8
o clock. Mr.. Merkle's sisters. who live
in New York, were sent for, Miss Louise
arriving few minutes after her broth
er's death
The death of Mr.. Merkle was particu-
larry pathetic. as he promised to de-
velop into a most useful man He be-
gan life in New York. his first employ
ment being as telephone boy in the Of
fee Of the Canadian Pacific, in New
York. He educated himself. The
funeral arrangements have not yet been

WARRENTON, Va, Aug. 26.-The
first day of the long-awaited and much
talkedof Warrenton Horse Show fully
justified the prediction of the horsemen
who have said that this show would be
the largest and finest ever held In the
South. More than 100 entries had been
made from all parts of the South, and
several fine horses have arrived here
from the North. The list is remarkable
not only for the old prize winners. but
also for the great number of weII-bred
green horses. In fact it is upon these
green" horses that the hopes of the
Southern horsemen are largely based
The Warrentop Horse Show has long
been celebrated in the South. but it Is
said today that the present show has no
rival south OF New York. except, per-
haps. that of Richmond, the Madison
Square Garden of the South
Among the owners who have good
horses entered in the present show are

JOCKEY CLUB WINS
IN BAKER BROS. SUIT
Justice Barnard Gives Decision, Refusing to Grant
Injunction or Appoint Receiver

The Washington Jockey Club won out

TO improve the Benning race track, by
the construction of a course a mile and
seventy yards In length, which will join
the present mile track at the home
stretch bend.
Straightaway Mile Course.
The new course will allow of a
straightaway run of a mile, out of a
chute, which viii be farther east than
the chute now at the head Of the
seven furlong course now used ut Ben
ninc.
The Bakers have used the ground in
question for several years as a truck
farm, under a Lease from Mrs. Harriet
Brightwell. Mrs. Brightweu, however.
last spring sold the property to The
Washington Jockey Club. About three
weeks ago the Jockey Club instituted
proceedings in ejectment against the
Bakers TO gain possession of the land.

complaint awarded the Jockey Club pos
