JOHN HOLDEN
DIES Of WOUND
'sDue to Accident" Is Cor
oner's Verdict.
BUT NOT WHAT He BELIEVES
Circumstances Force Him 60 Give Ger
tificate in Conflict With His
Opinion, he Says.
BUT NOT WHAT He BELIEVES

Death by accident was the substance
OF the certificate given by Coroner Nev-
lit today in the case Of John Holden,
the manufacturer of dentists instr,I-
naents. who was removed TO the Emerg-
ency Hospital on March with a bullet
IN his brain, and who died at that In
stitution at $40 o'clock this morning.
After issuing the certificate Coroner
hewitt said:
Often coroner gives a certificate
which conflicts with lis opinion and
with common sense This man was
shot through the forehad with a .32-
caiiber revolver. The wound was in a
place most unlikely to have been struck
by the accidental discharge of re-
voyer.
| "However, this man insisted on his
deathbed that he received the mortal
, wound by accident, and my certificate
is governed thereby

and in i'll health, went 10 his bedroom,
at 506 X street southwest, shortly after
noon on March 2, and failed to come
downstairs to his lunch. He was called

was heard When one of his relatives

/ lying on the floor, and blood was spout
ing from the gaping wound and trickling

He was unconscious, but his fingers
| clutched a revolver.
! An ambulance was summoned from
/ the Emergency Hospital, and q hurried

was placed on the operating table. The

1t was believed by the surgeons that

! lived through the night, but was con-

| His condition gradually improved
| Last Saturday the surgeons took him
again to the operating room.
| The operation was most delicate
and tedious one The bullet and pieces
of shattered skull were taken out
Holden lost much gray matter. This

| torn from the cere oellum. The man
also lost a quantity of blood from the
| operation.
| Holden stood the surgeons knife bet

When Holden was taken to the hos

Fourth precinct reported that he had
attempted to kill himself because of il

the second Pacific squadron ought
long ago to have been sent away or
disarmed.

In connection with the consideration
Of the bill granting a pension to the
families of the members of the Indian
police, who were killed in 1890, in the
capture of Sitting Bull, Mr.. Tillman
made the claim that the Indian police
are on the same footing as the Phil

He said that he had made an effort
to get a pension for the family of a
South Carolinian who was member
of the Philippine force, and who was
killed while on duty there. He con.
tended that there had been discrimin.
alton because his constituents were
from the south. Mr.. McCumber, in
criticising the bill, said such was not
the case.

JAPS HAVE HAD
BETTER OF WAR

nit japanese Victory.
DONE WELL; NOT WELL ENOUGH

Situation Is Such that Russia Must
No Longer Rely Upon international
Diplomacy, but Take Steps for Own
Protection.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 14-New Years
reviews by the various newspapers ad-
NIT frankly that the Japanese have
had the better of the war so far, but
the whole tone of the press is summed
up in the following statement in the
Russ:
Though l have done well, but not
well enough"
They have entrenched themselves
in Korea as though they were at home
and have captured Port Arthur, and
made conquest of most of southern
Manchuria, but are face TO face with
a Russian army of equal numbers, and
they are checked. The new year will
show the Russian flag raised again
along the borders by warm weather.
The Novoe Vremya alone comments
on the Russian note to the powers re-
garding Chinese neutrality, and says
the keenest diplomacy will have to be
exercised in this matter. China can
not or will not preserve neutrality,
and Russia has been confronted time
and again, the articles says, by the
way in which Wei Hal Wei and Che
Foo have been used as Japanese
bases. In conclusion, the novel No
zoe Vremya says it Is a situation
wherein Russia must no longer rely
upon international diplomacy, but
must take steps for her own protec-
ton.

vote part of its time to planning for
a war footing for the organization so
that it will be able to meet the de.
mands df the the anthracite operators
on April 1, 1906. The miners want:
. 1. Recognition of the union.

existing in the principal bituminous
districts covering at least year.
8. The addition of the check-off sys-
TEN by the anthracite companies by
which they, as the bituminous opera
tors now do, will collect the union dues
at the mine.
The plans to put the organization on
