Charles Tier Becomes Despondent Over
Domestic Troubles

Charles Tier sixty-seven years old, made
an unsuccessful attempt about 100 o'clock
last night to end his life by slashing him
self with a razor The attempt was made
al the home of his son, John F. Zier 1913

his room, in the upper part of the house, he
was bleeding profusely. The police were
notified and the patrol wagon from the
ninth precinct made a hurried run TO the
house and conveyed him to the Casualty
Hospital
When examined at the hospital it was dis
covered that Zier had cut himself on both
wrists and the throat, making thirteen sep
arate wounds He was quite weak from
the loss of blood and his condition was
regarded as serious last night. The wounds
on the right wrist were more serious than
any of the others, and it was some time
before the flow of blood could be stopped
This morning he was slightly better, and
it is thought that he will recover.
Tier told the physicians at the hospital
that he attempted to end his life because of
family troubles. He said he had been max
ing his home with his son and the latter's
wife, and recently it was decided that he
should leave them and live by himself. He
said he became Respondent in thinking of
1t and committed the rash act while brood
ing over his troubles.

MR.. ANDERsoN's PETITION.
Wants Restoration Through Civil Ser
vice Commission.

Attorney A. Worth Spates of Baltimore.
employed as a blacksmith In the shop of
the mail equipment division Of the Post
Office Department, and recently dismissed
from service, has filed a petition with
the civil service commission asking that his
client be restored to his old position by or
der of the commission alleging that his dis
missal was contrary to civil service rules.
The trouble grew out of the theft of some
tools from the blacksmith shop several
years ago. Charges were brought by An
derson against w. l.. Andrews, foreman,
and his assistant, Clark. After number
of delays a hearing was granted by the
Postmaster General, and it was held before
Second Assistant Postmaster General Shall
lenberger.
Anderson, through his attorney, says he
found that the investigation was not of An
dreWs and Clark, but of himself, and that
his counsel was excluded from the room,
while the government had two attorneys
present.
Your petitioner further represents" the
petition further states, that his charges
that the so-called investigation was of the
most ex parte character; and instead of be-
ing an accuser. he was treated as the ac-
cuSed, and yet denied the ordinary rights
of the common criminal
Secretary John Doyle of the civil service
commission said this afternoon that the dis
missal from the Post Office Department of
Anderson was beyond the jurisdiction of
the civil service commission. as it was done
on the grounds of enforcing needed dis

Civil Service Pensions,

To the Editor OF Inc Evening star:
With great pleasure 1 note in your col
umns that 1.-The veteran letter carriers of
New York have organized for the purpose
of presenting to the government petition
asking for pensions for long SERVICE. l
have long marveled that a government,
based on the highest Christian principles,
should discriminate so unjustly between its
servitors in the military and civil branches
of It's service, even permitting the clerks
Fin it's several departments to plead for the
poor privilege of pensioning themselves in
their old age year after year, without sue
cess, neither granting their ptiful petition
nor recognizing it's own manifest duty in
the premises. And l appeal to you, who
are SO faithful in the furtherance of all
know from the study of 1.-The civil service Of
Great Britain" and otherwise America is
far behind England, Prussia and Sweden
in the treatment of her civil servants.
Surely. government honorS Itself by
honoring its servants. If the former be
worthy, the service is worthy, and the rec
ognition thereof ennobles both the one who
gives and the one who receives. Giver and
recipient alike, benefited by the attitude Of
increased respect. And, until the clerk is
honored by the acknowledgment that long
and faithful service at the desk merits
pension, as well the service of those who
sail the ships and fire the guns. the proper
relation between them will not be attained.
But surely, the time has arrived when our
government will be just to all it's servants,
whether militant or civil, and the clerk who
has so long merited recognition will reward
it with increased devotion to his duty and
with respect and love for a wise and just
government. E. L. M.

VENT NOT FOUND
A Thousand Men Searching the Noun
tains for Him.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Bristol, Va, yesterday, says: 1t is
now five days since f. L. Wentz, the
young Philadelphia millionaire, disap-
peared in the mountains of Wise county,
Virginia, and Notwithstanding a party OF
1000 men have been securing the noun
tains for four days. as yet no clue what
ever has been gained as to what became OF
him.
The missing mans brother, Daniel L.
WentZ, has increased the reward for the
finding of the young man from 5000 to
$4,000, provided he is returned alive. The
reward if the young man should be found
dead is 5000. The party is still searching,
but gained nothing by todays work.
Mr.. WentZ. ST., is hurryng to the Vir-
ginia coal fields from Philadelphia, and will
go to Big Stone Gap on a special train inn
nledately upon his arrival here.
The most plausible theory is that young
Wentz has been murdered by the noun
taineers as a matter OF spite work for his
firm hand in dealing with trespassers on
the land Of the Virginia Coal and Iron COM
pany. 1t is not improbable, however, that
kidnappers from 4 distance were in hiding
and got possession of the young man to
hold him for ransom The excitement con-
tinues III the coal region, and the whole
matter is looked upon unprecedented
mystery

SUFFOCATED BY GAS
GEORGE II. SMITH FOUND lead
IN HIS BED.
Conclusion Reached That Death Was
Accidental-Decease Union
Veteran Of Civil War.

man about sixty years old. who from
papers found in his pockets was identified
as George H. Smith of Havre de Grace,
Md, was found dead in bed about o'clock
this morning at Burdine's Hotel, 1O7 9th
street northwest. The one gas burner in
the room was turned on, and the gas was
escaping with full force, while the window
was closed, as was also the door, which
was locked.
Coroner hewitt, who was notified, made
an investigation and decided that death,
which was caused by asphyxiation. was
the result of an accident and issued GER
tificate accordingly
The man registered at the hotel about
IL O'Clock last night and was assigned to
room %, in the rear on the third floor.
About o'clock this morning Mrs. Alice
King, an employee at the hotel, noticed the
door of Illuminating gas. She traced it. to
the room occupied by Smith and found
that the door was fastened on the inside.
Aid was summoned and the door was
forced open, and Smith, partly clothed.
was lying stretched out on the bed. The
flow of gas was shut off and the window
of the room was opened
Policeman Sears was called in, and al
though life appeared to be extinct he sent
in hurry call for the ambulance from
the Emergency Hospital. The physician
in charge of the ambulance, after eXamln-
ing the man, announced that he had been
dead for several hours. After the body
was viewed by the coroner it was removed
to the morgue by Morguemaster Schone-
berger.
The authorities at Havre de Grace We're
notified of Smiths death and the body will
be held until word is received from them.
Smith was dressed in the clothes usu-
ally worn by a workingman, and carried
no baggage 1t is thought that instead Of
turning the gas off when he retired last
night he blew out the light.
Papers found in his pocket indicated that
he was a veteran of the civil war, had
served with Company B, 9th Regiment of
Vermont Infantry, and that he came here
for the purpose of filing a pension claim
pint bottle filled with whisky, when
had not been opened, was found on the

TWO QUESTIONS INVOLVED.
Status of Expert Accountant and Ex-
cluSion of Contract LaborerS,

A case docketed in the United States Su
preme Court involves the two questions as
to whether an expert accountant is a pro-
fesSional man, and whether the immigra-
ton law passed at the last session of Con-
gress repealed the contract labor provision
of the old law. The case is that of So
tirios S. Lontos Charalambis, native of
Patras, Greece, who came to New York
last May under contract to work for a
railroad company. The customs authori-
ties refused to allow him to land, and is
sued orders for his deportation. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury affirmed the order,
and Judge Lacombe of the United States
circuit court for the southern district of
New York subsequently refused to liberate
Charalambis, and rejected his contention
that the old law had been repealed or that
an accountant is a member of a learned
profession. The appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States asks the liber-
alton of the immigrant on a writ of ha-
DeaS corpus.
