as he came into the city on a Southern
train last night, was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court today on a charge Of obtaining
money by false pretenses. To this charge
he pleaded not guilty, but after hearing
the evidence Judge Mills decided that a
prima facie case had been made out and
he ordered that the defendant be held for
the action of the grand jury. Bond in the
case was fixed at $500, In default Of which
he was committed to jail to await the
meeting of the grand jury.
According to the testimony which was
given in the court this morning Buchanan

Harley in this city some time ago and
asked that Mr.. Harley cash for him a
draft on a Philadelphia house for whom
Buchanan said that he worked. The draft
was cashed and when forwarded to Phi1a-
delphia, 1t is said it was found that 1t
was worthless. the firm replying that they
did not owe Buchanan anything, although
he had worked for them some time before
Mr.. Harley reported the matter to the po-
lice and as the result Buchanan was ar
rested The money obtained was $50
AS the hearing in court today was only
preliminary the defendant did not make q
statement.

three years Of age. living at 912 sth street

II o'clock today at Chevy Chase circle by

to have driven the man into a state of tenn
porary insanity
The report Of a revolver in the vicinity of
Chevy Chase Circle was heard at ll:45
o'clock this morning by a number OF work
men on a roadway nearby. and the almost
lifeless body Of Zimmerman was found
very near the pavilion at the circle with
the smoking revolver by his side. Blood
was rushing from the CHASTITY wound in
hicted by the revolver and the unfortunate
man was breathing heavily. The workmen
labored heroically to prevent death, and
in the meantime the ambulance and police
had been called.
Policemen Sullivan and Maher of the
seventh precinct responded and an ambu-
lance followed quickly. Zimmerman was
started away to the Emergency Hospital
but died before reaching the city. His body
is now at the Emergency Hospital await
Ing the action of the coroner, who will
make an investigation into the cause Of
death. On the dead mans body was found
a card with the name "W. G. Zimmerman,
go 9Th street southeast"
Zimmerman's relatives were quickly no
tilted and were shocked when told OF what
had happened. Mrs. Zimmerman was al
most Frustrated with grief and had to have
the care of physician. She explained that
her husband left home at an early hour
this morning and though he acted strangely
she attributed 1t to his naturally melancholy
temperament. He had often declared to
her that he would some day kill himself.
that life had become unbearable and he
would end 1t all.
She was startled just after his departure
to find on the dresser note which showed
that 1t had been written with careful de-
liberation to the effect that he soon would
be dead and relieved OF his burdens. She
sent for her brother-in-law and the latter
Immediately started upon search, but be-
fore he had gone far was told OF thinner
mans death.

unhappiness. He had q liberal trade and

SMALLPOX OUTBREAK.
Four Cases Discovered Today at 1927
18th Street Southeast.

The health Office Is again struggling to
suppress smallpox. -Four new cases OF the
disease were discovered today at y27 18th
street southeast. and the sufferers. Mrs.
Lilly Kieny and her three children. were
Immediately taken to the smallpox hospital.
Where or how Mrs. kieny contracted
smallpox cannot be determined by the au-
thorities. but like the case OF Payton Sweet,
the colored prisoner at the District jail,
who developed smallpox two weeks ago, the
infection In this case might be attributed to
the proximity OF the smallpox hospital.
That the smallpox germ 10 capable of
aerial transmission 10 only q theory. but
until some more substantial foci for tho
disease can be discovered 1t cannot be
proven to be entirely untenable.
Mrs Kieny was taken sick some time In
July. The first physician called In pro-
nounced It q case Of chicken pox. A SINH
lar diagnosis was made by another prac-
titioner. and in the meantime Mrs. Kfeny
was LETT In her home. or freq to wander as
far. as she was able. The little Kienys,
Mabel. ten years old: Lillian. eight and
Irving. SIX were taken sick In order on
of the health ONES was directed to tho
suspicious nature Of the sickness at the
Kieny home, and It needed but q glance to
convince the inspector that q smaIl-sixed
epidemic Of smallpox was again on hand.
The little home on 18th street southeast
was fumisated this morning and closed,
and an active search will be made by the
health authorities to determine whether It
is necessary to subject any OF the neigh

WANT RULE ENFORCED
APPEAL OF HELPERS IN WASH
INGToN NAVY YARD.

An old rule which applies to the several
hundreds of helpers in the Washington
navy yard has been revived. and this after
noon delegation of prominent men called
on Capt. Edwin c. Pendleton, In charge OF
the naval gun factory. and asked for its
enforcement at that establishment. The
delegation composed Col M. Emmet Urell,
Maj Fred. 8. Hodgson, Commander John
Lewis Smith of the Department of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Spanish War Veterans
and several others.
The rule In question Is known as Navy
Yard Order No. Unemployment OF labor at
navy yards" and was issued by the Secre-
tary Of the Navy November 10. 1895 1t
provides that helpers in the mechanical de-
partments Of the yards, particularly the
naval gun factory, be given certain appren-
tce rights, and after serving as helpers to
Hachinists for given PERIOD they may be
rated as machinlsts Of the fourth class and
given employment as such. Being in eff
feet that the time they serve as helpers
shall be construed an apprenticeship at
the trade of machnist.
Petition for Enforcement.
The helpers in the Washington yard
claimed that the order had been allowed
to become obsolete and without effect. and
several hundreds of them signed petition
asking that it's provisions be carried out.
This petition. together with copy of the
order. was handed to Captain Pendleton
this afternoon. The captain. In reply,
stated that the order was still in effect. but
that helpers could only be taken on after
the list of bona-fide machinists registered
by the labor board of the yard had been
exhausted.
He could only recall that helpers had been
given employment as machinists once IN his
recollection and that was during the war
with Spain. when there was great rush Of
ordnance work at the yard. At that time
the list Of machinists was exhausted and 1t
became necessary to give proficient helpers
employment fourth, or the lowest class
Of machinists.
One Of the Requirements.
In order for the helpers now to secure
the higher grade Of work it would be nee
essary, Capt Pendleton added. for them to
resign their places as machinists' assistants
and re-register as machinists, furnishing at
the time of registration certificates of their
ability and experience to do the advanced
class of work.
He said from the present outlook there
would not be time soon when the list Of
eligible machinists would be exhausted.
and, OF course, there would be no oppor-
tunity for the helpers to advance them
selves as proposed. unless there should
arise another emergency like the Spanish
