Further evidence that young Stuart Pier
son, the Kenyon College student. was
bound to the railroad track has been Sc
cured by Prosecutor Stilwell and Coroner
Scarborough. They have made a thorough
examination of the clothing worn by Pier
son on the night he met his death.
The coroner says that the wrists ana
ankles of Persons underclothing were ex-
Rmined particularly. and about 100 small
particles OF rope fibre were found. The
fact that the particles are rope fibre has
been conclusively proven, it Is stated, by
the use of a powerful microscope. The
fibreS We're not found on the outer side of
the garments. but were found embedded IN
the cloth so deeply that they had to be
pulled out.
Many OF the fibres. the coroner states.
were also taken from the socks worn by
the young student, and were so deeply
ground I'm the material that many remained
after being sent to the laundry. This evil
dence with all the rest that has been gath

APPEALS FOR SQUARE DEAL. y
Words of the President Worked Vigor-
ously by Persons With Requests.

The words of the President Square
DEAL. are being worked vigorously by
many persons who have old claims or re-
quests upon the government Many of
the cases which are known in the depart
ments as odd slugs" because of the many
times they have been considered and re-
jected have again been presented with a
demand for a square DEAL" An officer of
the army to whom all such cases in the
War Department are referred for report
says that all these claims for reinstate-
ment in the service or for advanced retired
rank, or claims for property taken. all of
which have heretofore been passed upon
and decided adversely to the claimant, set
out that what they ask now is a square
DEAL" and many Of them insist that their
requests be presented to the President.

SOUNDS A CAUTION
Mr.. McCleary's Hint as to
District Estimates.
MUST CURB DESIRES
SAYS TREASURY'S CONDITION
SHOULD BE KEPT IN VIEW.
Declares That Many New and Desirable
Projects May Have to Wait
Awhile for Appropriations.
MUST CURB DESIRES

II recognize the Importance of the ma
tional capital and have the same interest
and pride in its upbuilding as has every
citizen. but 1t is very apparent that the
committee on appropriations must be gov
erned by the conditions of the treasury
when it comes to fixing up the budget in
the coming winter. In fact. every one may
well recognize the force OF conditions and
be reconciled to having the necessities Of
the government provided for, together with
the completion of work that has been be-
gun and to which the government has been
committed"
Thus spoke Representative McCleary OF
Minnesota, the ranking member OF the
House committee on appropriations. who
many people believe will be chairman
of the committee under the organizat ton OF
the House by Speaker Cannon. Mr.. Nc
Cleary has for several years been chairman
of the subcommittee on the District of CO.
lumbia of the appropria tions committee.
The Probable Conditions.
I'VE must remember" continued Mr. Nc
Cleary. that Rome was not built in a day.
and that while the House will undoubtedly
be inclined to take as liberal a view OF the
necessities of the District OF Columbia as
the finances of the government will make
possible yet 1t is well to understand that
1t does not appear probable that the COM
ing Congress will be In position to pro-
vide for many OF the projects that are sure
to be advocated by the people here ana
which in themselves are worthy OF consid-
crate treatment.
Congress is spending a vast sum OF
money for the improvement of the capital
which will not appear in the District bill
at all. The Office buildings for the Senate
and House of Representatives will prove TO
be great additions to this city, although
they are especially for the use OF Congress.
The settlement OF damages resulting from
a change OF grade of streets approaching
the union station will involve large expense
on the District of Columbia and the United
States. We are to provide for the compile
schools will need additional money to prop
erly provide for them. These are the neces-
sary things, and such expenditures are
naturally approved by every one
Must Temper Ambition.
But when 1t comes to new projects that
can wait while, we may as well make up
our minds that we will be reasonable and
temper our ambition with consideration for
the condition of the treasury.
'All of this applies not alone to the Dis
trict of Columbia, but to the general ex-
penses of the government as well. The
committee on appropriations will have the
duty of getting the total of the appropria-
tionS within such reasonable scope that
there will be no embarrassment to the
treasury In providing the money"

NOT AFTER TROUBLE
REPORT OF HOSTILITY TO MIR.
sTILLINGS IN g. p. o. DENIED.

1--WE are not looking for trouble, nor are
we seeking to confront conditions that ex-
list only In the imagination of certain agi-
tators"
This was the statement of a leading men,
Der Of Columbia Typographical Union today
to Star reporter when he was asked about
a newspaper publication which stated that
trouble Is brewing for the new public
printer. Mr.. Charles s. Stillings, who will
take charge OF the Office November 25. The
newspaper article also intimated that in
view of Mr.. Stillngs probable open shop
policy" the typographical union will op-
pose his confirmation by the Senate and
implies that the printers and other en-
ployes of the government printing office
may go on strike this winter when the Of
flee is at its busiest.
An investigation was made of the alleged
trouble by a Star reporter today, and ex-
cept the mutterings of a few agitators,
there appeared to be no ground for the
fateful forecast. The printers are a most
conservative class of artisans, and gener-
ally employ Ben Franklin philosophy be-
fore arriving at their conclusions. Lead
ing members of the craft said today that
Mr.. StilHngs has not, by either word or
deed done anything to indicate that he in
tends to start right in to smash the union,
or to conduct the government printery as
an open shop, and that therefore 1t would
be the height of folly for the union to
PREJUDICE Mr.. Stiliings and his methods and
make the dire threats that are alleged to
have been made.
