developed into serious pulmonary trouble,
necessitating his removal from Washington
to the dryer cline of New Mexico, where he
has been on sick leave since last February.
His physician in New Mexico recently de-
clared that Mr.. Bieber would not be able to
assume his duties in Washington for sew
eral years to come, and that he probably
will not be able to live in this city perma-
nently even after his recovery, whereupon
Mr.. Beber rendered TO the Commissioners
his resignation as District fire marshal.
Mr. Bieber is only thirty years OF
age. He has a wide acquaintance among
residents of the District well as many
influential friends among senators and rep
resentatives at the Capitol. Through these
latter he, has been able to assist In the
passage Of several matters OF legislation
affecting the local fire department., notably
the bill increasing the pay Of firemen and
the firemens and policemens pension BILL
Connection With Naval Militia.
In addition to his connection with the To-
cal fire department, Mr.. Bieber holds a
commission as paymaster in the District OF
Columbia naval militia and he was the or
f1cial representative Of the Naval Militia
Association of the United States before the
President and the Navy Department hav-
ing been elected vice president of that as
ISOLATION. Largely to his efforts is as
cribed the credit for procuring the monitor
Puritan for the use of the District Naval
Battalion as training ship.
During the early part of the present year
Mr.. Bieber was offered consulship to
foreign country but deemed II advisable
not to accept. He intends to remain in
New Mexico for several years yet, at least
until he regains his health. His many
friends in this city are hopeful for his ultt-
mate recovery from his present ailments.

ed the other day as saying that he would
request the fire board of that city to In
quire into the cause of Mr.. Bieber's Illness

reported to have said that we look into
the case and take such action as will rec
ognize the service he rendered Baltimore
during the fire. Baltimore would not be
doing the proper thing II we, as city, did
not officially recognize what Mr.. Bieber did
for us in our time of distress and need. My
action In the matter will depend upon the
outcome of the fire boards investigation.
