Asheville, N. c.. Special.-Oscar A.
Whitaker, OF Paragon, Ind, aged u
years, and student Of Bingham School
committed suicide in Vivtoria by hang
himself with a half-inch cotton rope
TO small white oak tree. The only
reason assigned by those who knew the
boy and by Col. Bingham is that he
was homesick. Some time after six
o'clock this morning several small
negro children while going toward the
Southern Railway tracks from the town
Of Victoria saw an object hanging to
tree in the woods surrounding Victoria
Inn. and about 200 yards from that
place. The children became frightened
and going to the home of ]. R. Nichols,
short distance from the place, in
formed that gentleman of the find. Mr..
Nichols, in company with boy named
Earl Hollingsworth, who had also
heard the screams OF the children and
had followed them, went to the scene
of the hanging. On reaching the place
Mr.. Nichols saw that the object was
that OF a man and telling the Hollings-
worth boy to remain near by, went to
the Glenn Rock Hotel and notified
Sheriff Reed. Sheriff Reed fastened to
the scene and Immediately took official
charge Of the case. He cut the rope
and ascertaining that the man was
dead, searching the pockets for all ef-
fects, and sending a messenger to
nearby telephone, summoned Hare,
Bard and Company to take charge OF

After General Miles For Accepting .

Mr.. Hull, In Charge Of the Army Ap.
preparation Bill, Creates a Stir by
Offering an Amendment That High
er Retiring Officers Shall Not Re-
eeive Full Pay When Assigned to
State Militia Duty.

Washington, Special-The appoint
ment Of Lieutenant General Nelson
A. Miles as inspector general OF the
State Of Massachusetts, overshadowed
all other questions in the discussion o:
the army appropriation bill in the
House OF Representatives. The debate
had proceeded leisurely until Mr.. Hull,
in charge of the bill. offered an amend,
ment providing that retired officers
above the grade Of major should not
receive the full pay Of their grade when
assigned to duty with the militia Of the
several States. Several members de-
clared that the amendment was direct
ed ESPECIALLY at General Miles, but Mr..
Hull ASSISTED that he had no such
tho>Eht in mind, and argued that the
bs,t results were obtained from officers
of the lower grades. He asserted that
not until the law was passed allowing
increased pay for officers assigned to
the militia did retired officers OF the
higher grades apply for the appoint
ments. He said it was such increased
pay and not patriotism which prompt
ed them, and he characterized their
conduct as unseemly. The statement
reused Mr.. Cochran. Of New York, who
declared that it was simply penalizing
superior officers to the advantage and
profit of inferior officers. After live.
" debate the amendment was ADOPT
ed.
Mr.. Williams. of Mississippi, was out
spoken in the statement that the real
motive behind the amendment was an
attack on General Nelson A. Miles. in
spector general of Massachusetts,. who
is extremely persona non grata in high
circles in the Republican party" 1t
was, he said, no new thing for the
Republican party to slight the heroes
of the nation and push its farorites to
the front.
