A. E. WACHTER KILLED.
Father Of Maryland Representative
Falls From Window in Baltimore.

A dispatch from Baltimore says: Mr.
August Edmund Wachter. father of Rep
resentative Frank c. Wachter, fell out OF
the third-story window Of his house in
this city Saturday afternoon and struck
on his head sustaining concussion of the
brain, from which he died an hour later. :
Mr.. Wacnter. VINO was seventy-nine years
old on February 10 last, had been confined
since Thanksgiving day to his ROOM on the
third floor Of his home with asthma, from
which he was great sufferer.
Mr.. Wachter, 1t appears, heard a bell.
and going to the window the sill of which
is rather low. leaned out to tell child
where to leave a paper. He must have
leaned too far, or else the height made him
dizzy. However that may be, he lost his
balance and plunged head foremost to the
steps and thence out into the gutter The
little girl got off the steps just in time to
escape being struck by the falling man.
Deceased was born In Hildesheim, Han
over Germany, February 10, 1925. He
served while a young man in the German
navy as a marine, and in 1855, with his
wife, who was Miss Clara Amelia Fraske
of Bremen, came to the United States. He
cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln for
President, and was to the day of his death
a firm republican. He served in the Union
army as a member of the 18th Maryland
Infantry. After the war he settled in Bal
timore and followed his trade of tailor. He
retired about ten years ago because of
failing health, and had since lived quietly
at 217 Penn street. which was his home
during forty years.

PLEA FOR CLEMENCY WON.
Gen. Corbin Commutes Sentence Of En-
listed Man for Disobedience.

Major General CoEbn, commanding the
Atlantic division. has approved the pro-
ceedings and findings of court-martial
in the case of an, enlisted man, who had
been In the army for, nearly twenty years
and was recently found guilty of disobe-
dience of orders. In his review of the
case Gen. Corbin said:
"The offenses committed are most Sc
rious, involving disobedience of an order
of the battery commander and of an order
of a lieutenant belonging to the battery
also disobedience, of and disregard for the
orders of non-commissioned officer. The
acts of disobedience appear to have been
willful and inexcusabfe, though the accused
attempts to palliate them because commit

treatment by a commissioned officer.
This Is. poor excuse. The accused had

Notwithstanding the excellent character and

Gates faithful and arduous service in the

The large number of fires reported from

resources to the ports of other countries.

INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.
The Gathering of the Red Cross Con-
preSS at Bernie

Because of the present war between Rus
STA and Japan the gathering of the con-
gress of the Geneva Red Cross at Berne,
which was to take place next May, has
been indefinitely postponed. This is the
second postponement of the congress, which
was expected to make some very important
changes in the rules governing the admin
istration of Red Cross aid on the field of
battle. The congress was to have met last
May, and Assistant Secretary Loomis, Gen.
Geo. B. Davis and Commander Nathan
Sargent of the navy were named as the
representatives of the United States, but a
postponement was ordered before they de-
parted from this country. There are be-
iieyed to be two reasons for the present
postponement first, the difficulty in franz
ing such rules as are desired in heat of
passion aroused by the war. and second
the failure of one of the principal European
powers to respond to the invitation to at
tend.
