RESULT OF AUTOPSY
DEATH OF CAPT. ROBB DUE TO
NATURAL CAUSES.

Deputy Coroner Glazebrook performed an
autopsy on the body of Capt. Rochester
Robb a Treasury Department clerk, this
morning and found that his death was due
to nephritis, valvular disease of the heart
and syncope. Capt. Robb died last night
about II 80 o'clock in his apartment at the
Brunswick apartment house. Prior to
week ago he had been attended by a ply
sician, but as the latter was not in attend
ance just prior to the time of his death he
would not give a death certificate. The
body was removed to the undertaking es-
adjustment of William r. Speare on +
street
Coroner hewitt would have issued a GER
tificate of death without having an autopsy
performed had 1t not been that friends of
the deceased suggested otherwise The at
tending physician had full knowledge of
the case and explained to the coroner that
he had treated him for heart disease but,
should give a death certificate as he was
not attending the captain at the time he
died.
The autopsy showed that the diagnosis
OF the physician was correct and the cor
oner gave the necessary death certificate.
The deceased, who was sixty-eght years
Old, was a native Of Kentucky and was a
WldoWer. He came here about fifteen years
ago and was employed a clerk in the
treasury department shortly after coming
TO this city. His funeral will take pla zee
tomorrow afternoon. The interment will
be at Rock Creek cemetery.

TO STAND BY FACULTY
EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL COM
M1TTEE TO REPORT TONIGHT.
The Board of Education to Consider
Subject-Rumored Changes
in Faculty.

The reDort of the committee appointed 10
investigate the troubles at the Eastern
High School is ready to make Its report,
and 1t is expected the board OF educatlon'
when it meets tonight, will consider the
same. Briefly. it is complete vindicatlon
of the action of Principal SwartZell and the
faculty.
What the board of education viii do IS
merely conjecture, but from the position OF
several members already announced there
is little doubt of its acceptance. ms Will
mean the retention of Mr.. SWartzeIl as
principal of the Eastern High School And
those who are in position to know claim
II will be the entering wedge for resolutions
which will the more thoroughly regulate
matters scholastic and athletic in the high
schools of Washington.
The committee charged with the lnVestl-
CATION met yesterday afternoon ana near
several witnesses. Among them the super
intendent testified. and the director of high
schools Prof Hughes, who by the way IN
vestigated this very matter himself ana
recommended the Withholding of diplomas
of graduation to the recaicitrant pup'is
reiterated what he had discovered.
The entire subject was threshed over, ana
the committee. when it had heard the tes-
tirnony of those summoned, were agreed
that no fault could with propriety be LODGED
against the principal or the faculty for the
action they had taken And it is understood
the committee was also of the opinion that
the utter disregard for school rules by the
boys was inexcusable and they deserved
the highest censure.
One of the members of the committee
said to a Star reporter today:
After a very careful investigation or
the subject intrusted to us satisfied
that the faculty is In no wise to blame for
the very unwholesome condition of affairs
that obtained at the Eastern High School
during the last school year. There has
been good deal of bad feeling there, en-
gendered largely by the boys.
That they showed utter disregard for
school rules is acknowledged by them, and
the only cause for complaint against the
principal is that he carried out the rules
given him by those above him in authority.
There is no charge of incompetency against
either Mr. Swartzell or the faculty. Such
n charge could not stand for every citizen
is familiar with the high standing the
Eastern High School has maintained in its
scholarships. Theirs indeed, Is a fine rec
ord, and l hope 1t will be kept up
There was some talk this afternoon that
at least one member of the board of edu-
c,.tion was in favor of transferring Prfnc1-
pal SwartZell to some other district but
1t is not believed, in view of the facts and
the excellent record he has made at East
eIn, that any change will be made.

GOVERNOR MEAD
RENTS A FINE

OLYMPIA, Aug. 3-Governor Mead
has decided to remit the fine of $3.50
imposed upon william Henry In
Whatcom county upon a conviction
of assault.
Henry was tried for assault with
intent to kill. He took a shot at his
wife. Helen Henry. and one William
Rolya last December lie failed to
hit either one. He was arrested and
convicted and sente ced to six
months in jail in addition to the fine
The jail sentence has been served
and he has just started in to serve
out the fine.
The fine was RENTED on the rec
ommendation of the prosecute < at
torney, majority of the trial Jurors
and number of leading citizens Of
the county; also on a statement of
the facts in the case signed by the
trial judge. 1t appeared that the con-
duct of Henry's wife with another
man was of such a character as to
provoke him to an assault on them
with a revolver.
Governor Mead says he thinks the
man has been sufficiently punished.

tion. The threatened Chinese boy
colt of American goods is OCCASION
ing some disquietude. Efforts are
being made to adjust the threatened
difficulties by diplomacy, but it is
probable that the success of such ac-
tion will depend on the cooperation
of congress.
The prospect of success of any
Legislation affecting the tariff may
obviously be influenced by the rail-
road rate situation. 1t would be
natural for the "stand-patters" on
both questions TO unite forces in
favor of letting things alone The
fight will come from the senate. Its
leaders are apparently determined,
whatever else may be done in rail-
road legislation, that there shall be
no transfer of rat making power
from the hands OF the owners of
railroad properties to any public
agency; and, of course. the power to

this. The senators who hold this
view may not be in a numerical ma
jority and hence the possibility Of
their needing an alliance with the
opponents of the tariff changes. That
they can control the senate admits
little question.

THE DIP OF DEATH.
Young Lady Locring the Gap in
an Automobile

The most desperate and thrilling
act ever witnessed is the fearful au-
tomobilel ride of the young French
lady, Mile. de Tiers. The c plot
is without precedent, st1nl alone
and can be compared to nothing ex-
celt, perhaps, looping the gap, but
instead of bicycle the young, pretty
and venturesome lady makes the loop
and gap IL an automobile of SO horse
power. 1t is we'll named the Dip
of Death for 1t would appear as If
the fearless artistic actually laughs
at the grim spectre of death, mock
ing him as she shoots wish the speed
of lightning through space, herself
and machine upside down. When
this daring act was first performed
in Paris it at once became the theme
of conversation in all circles. 1t
created equally as much talk in New
York when performed at the Madison
Square Garden, while the daily and
illustrated papers never seemed to
slacken in picturing and otherwise
exploiting this marvellous perform
elusive patent rights of this remark
able act, and therefore the wonderful
performance can be seen nowhere
else but in the tents of the great
est show on earth
1t is said to be the highest priced
act in the world. The daring artistic
receives as much as 800 a second

in view of the spectators in the per-
Torrance of her perilous feat. There
can be no question regarding the
hazard of this wonderfully ingenious
mechanical performance for the auto
mobile travels at a speed of 80 miles
an hour and when at the bottom it
takes the turn upward, thus becom-
ing reversed upside down In reality,
flies through space until reaching the
opposite section of the loop, when,
assuming it's normal position, 1T car

but half an impression of it's peril

ments of danger, but which are ever
present, however, in its performance.
For no matter how mechanically per-
feet the apparatus may be construct
ed, nor upon what line of scientific
calculation, the smallest screw, nut
or bolt out of place would cause
disaster to machine and artistic. For
tunately thus far no serious results
have ever taken place, notwithstand-

hundreds of times. But 1t must be
seen. It can not be described. And
it is really marvellous. 1t can be
