MYSTERIOUS DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Woman Shot by Man Who Afterward
Committed Suicide

A dispatch from New York last night
says; Newton Schoonmaker, mechanic
living in Pine street, Brooklyn, on return
ing home tonight found his wife. Leila,
lying unconscious with a bullet in her
breast, and beside her Percival Covert, a
young man living in Euclid avenue, also
unconscious, with a bullet wound in his
head. and revolver of which two cham
bers had been discharged lying beside him.
The man and woman were taken to the hos
pital where Covert died without regaining
consciousness Mrs Schoonmaker. who is
twenty eight years old. rallied sufficiently to
say that Covert had shot her and shot him
self. She made no explanation of the cause
of the tragedy, and her condition was such
that it was impossible to obtain any further
statement from her. Schoonmaker himself
was unable to throw. any light on the affair.
On the dead man the police found two let
tiers, one addressed to Coverts mother, Mrs.
Emily Covert of ST. Adams, VT, and the
other to George Carstairs. In these letters.
the police say. Covert admitted that he had
embeZzled several thousand dollars from
the Williamsburg Trust Company, in whose
branch office in Brooklyn he was employed.
and that he had determined to kill himself.
Mrs. Schoonmaker is the mother of two
young children, who were asleep in the
room next to that in which the shooting
took place. There is little hope Of her re-
cOVery. .- s--'

morning to answer to charge of taking
away property without the owners con-
sent. and. upon conviction. was fined SIS,

drove the horse around the city for about
an hour, returning the animal and harness
when he had finished his ride. During the
course of the spin about the city, 1t was
stated on the stand. Carter drove to detec-

said to be wanted for housebreaking. Upon
investigation. however, the detectives found
that Carriers information was without
foundation.

CARE OF THE LAWN.
Best to Get an Experienced Man to
Start It

This is the season of the year that the
householder begins to think of his lawn
and how to make it beautiful" said an
employee of the Agricultural Department
to a Star man. There are many houses
that were finished late last fall and some
nearing completion that are ready for their
lawns. Where the lot Is a series of de-
pressions much grading and filling is usu-
ally required. The dirt thrown from the
cellar and foundations with the dirt thrown
back from the edges. may give all the
slope necessary. If the house stands in
the center of the lot 1T should slope on
all four sides to make a good appearance.
1t will not do to put poor soil on a lawn
or to plant grass seed in the soil from the
foundation if that soil be poor. Unless
rich soil is brought in that from the found
alton should be mixed thoroughly with
fertilizer, well rotted manure being pref
cradle for the purpose, except that it Is
apt to contain seeds of weeds. and alto
getherI should suggest bone meal as prob
ably being the most available for the pur-
pose. In getting the soil ready for the
seed it should be thorough pulverized with
a hoe and then thoroughly rolled so that
the grass may come up evenly.
Great care should be exercised in select
Ing the seed. for many of the mixtures
now on the market are thoroughly worth
less. If a person has a friend in Con-
gress that member could get proper seed
from the Agricultural Department without
great trouble. 1t is cheapest in the end
to get an experienced man to SOW the seed
once 1t Is obtained. 1t will save no end
Of trouble and a lawn will look much bet
ter in a shorter space of time. When the
grass has come up it should be allowed
to attain height of seven or eight inches
before it is cut. If it is desired to kill
the grass the lawn mower should be run
over it frequently. 1t should have plenty
of water. both morning and evening. but
never while the sun is shining it in
full heat 1t should always be raked with
a wire-tooth rake, never a sharp rake.
which pulls the grass up by the roots.
Twice each year the lawn should have a
top dressing of bone, which the SHOWS and
rains will wash into the roots.

The People and the Government.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Is not The Star making dangerous ad-
mission in it's editorial, IA Chinaman on
Public Ownership" While 1t does not ex-
pressly state, yet it does very clearly imply
that an enlargement of municipal functions
might result in greater interest and more
careful voting on the part Of the citizens
The idea that the wider the scope of gov
ornamental activity the greater Will be the
interest of the voter and the more persist
ent his efforts to keep politics clean Is one
which is being urged by certain unorthodox
publicists who have not been informed Of
the utter depravity Of man. This is simply
another way Of saying that the more the
people have to do with their government
the better they will be governed.
Such sentiments are. of course. essen
TALLY un-American, and are directly OPP
posed to the spirit and letter of the Consti-
tuition. The conviction that the people
must not be given too much power; that
they must not be allowed to govern them
selves directly, and, therefore. unwisely,
but must in all things be restrained by the
Judgment of the select and superior few;
that idea dominated the constitutional con-
yention and was so directly embodied In
the Constitution that its adoption by the
people was made possible only by the addi-
ton of the first ten amendments, or bill
of rights. mat lOod always HdS UccI diiu
is today, the dominant one in our govern
mental affairs, just as 1t is in our religious
and Industrial affairs Yet despite this
plain and well-known principle laid down
by the fathers Ga principle which. of course,
should be the more strictly adhered to the
older it becomes and the greater and more
rapid the changes which take place. The
Star permits a half expression, a thought
by implica ton. that we need little more
of the rule of the people; that perhaps If
they be permitted to do for themselves,
through governmental agency, some few OF
the things which can be more economically.
efficiently and satisfactorily done for them
by our nobility of finance, the average
voter may take time and thought to make
things uncomfortable for the bosses and
rings. This Is absurd. The idea that a
devote as much thought and labor to
farm which another owned and let him use
and contrary to human nature as the idea
that the people would take more interest in
the management and efficiency of street
railway which they collectively owned than
they would In system which a few pri-
vate individuals owned and let the people
use in consideration of their paying all the
expenses of operation and a heavy tax, In
the form of dividends, on the franchise
which the people themselves had granted.
hope The Star will hasten to disavow
its heretical editorial and return to the true
faith of those wise men who, 200 years
ago. knew SO much better than We our
selves what Is good for us.
