EATING HOUSES OPEN.
But No Bars Permitted to Dispense
Liquors Tomorrow.

Eating establishments in Washington
which have bar rooms attached will be per-
m1tted to furnish food to patrons tomor-
row. The bars in the establishment, how
ever, must remain closed and cannot under
any circumstances dispense liquor. This ac-
| ton was taken by the District Commission
| ers late yesterday afternoon upon the rec
ommendation Of Commissioner West The
police have been directed to see that the ex-
else laws prohibiting the selling Of liquor In
Washington on Sundays is complied with In
the eating establishments which also have
| bars.
Mr.. George W. Harvey applied to the Com
missioners yesterday for permission to open
his eating house, providing he boarded off
his bar. The Commissioners decided in
event he built partition Of wood, solid and
without entrances, around the bar from the
moor TO the ceiling, that there would be no
objection to his opening the other apart
ments. Canvas or paper partitions will not
be sanctioned BY the police. who must be
satisfied with the preparations before the
establishment can do business without Ia
bility to arrest Of the proprietor.
In his letter to Major Sylvester relative
to the strict enforcement of the liquor laws
and directing that every case Of violation

Il 90 not want any relaxation Of the law
against the sale Of liquor. and all such
cases which come to the attention OF your

Ing food to strangers in the city under an
eating house license. A partition does not
mean canvas or cotton screen, which can
be pushed aside. and thus allow an en-
trance to the bar. It means an absolute
closing of the bar.
II have submitted this letter to Commits
sioners Mcfarland and Biddle, and have
received their approval thereon. You will
notify your officers accordingly"

the fight against concurrence in the Senate
amendment. Mr. rawney clatmed-and it
was evident from the applause that greeted
his remarks that many agreed with him
that members of Congress were by law en-
titled to their mileage for the second ses-
sion of Congress, although the recess be-
tween the first and second sessions was
merely constructive. Mr.. Tawney urged
that those members who had the courage
of their convictions should vote against
concurrence in the Senate amendment.
Representative John Wesley Gaines of
Tennessee opposed the mileage propo-
sition. urging that to accept mileage for
merely constructive journey was not just
nor honest.
Representative Underwood of Alabama
spoke in opposition, and then Representa-
tive Simms Of Tennessee said that while
he would also vote in opposition, that in
his belief members could vote for the
mileage without having their motives
impugned
After considerable more discussion the
vote was taken and showed 173 against the
mileage proposition to ~ for 1t. The report
was then agreed to.

THEFTS ARE REPORTEa
POLICE CALLED ON TO MAKE
SOME INVESTIGATIONS.

Reports received at police headquarters
last night show that there were some dis
| honest people in the city. It is utterly I'm
possible for the police to protect every
| body, they say. especially II they failed to
profit by the advice given by Major Syl-
vester several days ago. In his note OF
warning the chief Of police said:
This is a period when the residents of
the District should be alive to the fact
that they are under obligations to them
selves. and the community, from a police
standpoint, to take such precautions as will
defeat the intentions OF lawbreakers and
aid In the detection of those who break the
law"
The report Of Elias RAN Of 1e41 10Th street
northwest indicates that the suggestion
of the chief Of police was not needed. He
reported that small bag containing $500
worth of diamond jewelry and s11 in cash
was taken from his house yesterday morn
ing. The theft. he reported, was committed
between and o'clock.

Park. and taken to the fourth precinct po-
lice station. Although considerably under
the influence of liquor he was able to tell
his name and say he was from EIkton,
Md. His hat and coat were missing. and
he said he had been robbed Of $40 and his
railroad return ticket. His articles of
wearing apparel were found in the park
after he had been taken to the station but
his money was not In his pockets.
Mrs. Mary L. Porter. living at al 18th

find $500 worth of jewelry for her. She was
not certain whether she had mislaid the

or whether they had been dropped in front
of her house and picked UP by some person
who had not returned them.

SAD CASE OF SUICIDE
WILLIAM GAYLE SENDS BULLET
THROUGH BRAIN.
Had Separated From His Wife and
Longed for Sight Of
His Child.

One Of the saddest cases that has come
to the attention of Coroner hewitt since
he has held the office of coroner came to
his notice last night when he was called
to the house sos X street northwest to In
vestigate the suicide Of William Gayle. The
unfortunate man was a candymaker, and
was employed in the establishment of G.
B. Sheetz at 10th and streets northwest.
He shot himself through the heart with
a revolver that he had purchased earlier
in the day for that purpose. Gayle was sep
arated from his wife and child, and had not
seen the later for several months.
HE was perfectly devoted to his little
daughter" said the mans mother to the
coroner, "and always seemed to be wor-
ried because he could not see her.
Relatives of the dead man think he killed
himself because he had brOoded over the
separation of the child from him. Neigh
bors said he was drinking man and that
he was noisy and troublesome under the In
fluence of liquor. About 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon the tragic deed was COM

the pistol and told neighbors of the oc-

noise" the neighbor told her.
Brother Makes Inquiry.
Nothing more was thought Of the incident
until after o'clock. when Taylor Gayle. a
brother who occupied the room with VIII
liam, called to see what had become Of the
latter. Taylor knew his brother had quit
work early in the day. and feared something
had happened. Alrn. Gayle, their motheh

reached the room about the same time. She
also feared William had taken his life. as 1t
was only last Sunday that he told her he
would like to go to sleep and never awaken.
'Why would you like to do that?" the
mother asked.
What have to live for?" he asked his
mother.
The mother learned that William had quit
work early in the day yesterday. She knew
he had drawn what money there was due
him and had asked him what he wanted
with it.
you don't know what I want to buy"
was all he said.
The Horrible Discovery.
When the mother and brother reached the
room last night they found the dead body Of
William lying beneath the cover on g. cot.
He had barred his breast and taken such
good aim that his body did not move from
its position. The mother lifted the weapon
from her sons chest and put 1t on the floor.
A neighbor of her sons was called and she
remained with the broken-hearted mother
until after the coroner had made an tnves-
tigation and disposed 0f the case.
William Gayle was twenty-six years old.
He was a native of Caroline county. Vir-
ginia. but had lived in this city a number Of
years. His wife was Miss Nellie Paris
Coroner hewitt gave the necessary certifi-
cate of death, and the body will be inferred
in local cemetery.

BIG SUM APPROPRIATED
MILEAGE PROVISION FINALLY
STRICKEN OUT.
Representative Tawney Led the Fight
for It, but the Vote Was in Favor
Of Senate Amendment.

The conferees on the deficiency appro-
priation bill submitted an agreement early
last night on all the items of the bill except
the mileage for the Constructive recess"
The Senate insisted upon striking that Item
out and the House Conferees had to go
back for further instructions.
: Other items were agreed upon as follows:
Amendment numbered one, with refer
ence to the relief of Cora B. Thomas. a
clerk in the Treasury Department, who
was seriously injured in an ELEVATOR acct
dent, It was agreed that she be paid her
salary at the rate of $1,000 per annum from
July 3, 1904, until July l. 1905, and that
the Secretary of the Treasury be authorized
In his discretion to continue her as clerk
in the Treasury Department in her present
grade.
The provision proposed by the House re-
pealing section 1857 OF the Revised Statutes,
making a permanent appropriation for the
expenses of collecting the revenue from
customs, was stricken from the bill as pro-
posed by the Senate amendments.
The provision inserted by the Senate
amending the law with reference to parting
and refining bullion was stricken out
The amendments proposed by the Senate
to return to the Citizens Bank of Louis
lana the money taken of said bank by mil
itary order OF June 10. 1862, was stricken
from the bill.
The provision with reference to the dis
position Of the document entitled 1.-THE
Declaration of Independence" proposed to
be stricken out by the Senate, was re-
stored to the bill, modified so as to give
the odd number Of the documents to the
Department Of State instead of to the SUI
perintendent of documents. The bill as
finally agreed upon appropriated $3O.91s.-
31O12
House Finally Agreed.
When the conferees report on the gen.
eral deficiency bill was submitted by
Chairman Hemenway Of the appropriations
committee 1t was very soon evident that
the Senate amendment striking out 100000
mileage appropriation was not popular.

superintendent of the eastern division OF
the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne and Chicago
railroad. stated that six or seven were
probably instantly killed and their bodies
seriously injured. and that there are about
twenty-five whose injuries are slight.
The injured are distributed among the
following hospitals. Mercy, Allegheny Gen.
eral, Bellevue and Rochester, Pa, where
they will receive proper attention until they
can be sent to their homes.
The accident happened a Clifton station,
eight miles west of Pittsburg, Pa. and
was caused by the first special stopping for
a hot box, and the second followed SO
closely that the f1agman had not time to
get back far enough to prevent a collision.
The first train carried battalion Of the
Ohio Engineers. 1t was made up OF six
coaches and baggage car. The second
train, with the same number of cars, car
ried the Tippecanoe Club Of Cleveland with
a band and twenty-five or thirty women.

the rear car Of the first train were the
principal sufferers and all Of the fatalities
were in that car.
Both Trains Caught Fire.
The wreckage took fire from the engine
and the entire first train and three cars Of
the second were burned.
The engineer of the second train says
the block signal showed green light, and
his train went ahead at the rate of about
forty-hve or fifty miles an hour When
the impact came the engine of the second
train plowed through the rear Pullman In
which the officers were and half way
through the tourist car just ahead of It.
A dispatch from Cleveland says: The su-
perintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
In this city has received the name of C. T..
Scott, q Pullman conductor of Chicago
