The deed was committed shortly after he
received letter from Asheville, and when
John Collins. another marine found him
he had the letter in one hand and the blood
stained razor in the other. He was lying
on the floor with his head resting in a pool
Of blood when Private Collins entered the
room. The wound in his throat extended
almost from ear to ear. A surgeon was
hastily summoned and he directed that the
wounded man be removed to hospital.
Webster was placed In an ambulance and
the vehicle was soon on It's way to the
Naval Hospital. When the institution was
reached 1t was found that life was extinct
The deceased was twenty-eight years old

years. He was recently transferred to this
city, and during the short time he had been
here he had received and sent a letter al
most every day. Webster never failed to
be on the lookout for a letter each morn
ing, nor did he ever fail to address one to
Asheyille This morning he received his
letter and shortly afterward he was found
with his throat cut. Relatives of the de.
ceased have been notified of his death and
his body will probably be sent to his late
home in Vermont for interment.
Webster had been a sergeant. but had
been denoted, it Is stated, because he had
been unable to control his appetite for
strong drink. After reaching this city he
was detailed In one of the offices at the
barracks to serve as an orderly. He was
warned that he would have to surrender

drinking, but he would not stop. This morn
ing he was told that ne need not report for
duty as an orderly. but that he should re-
port for duty with his company. He failed
to report for duty of any kind and was
found IN dying condition, as stated. Cor

the head twice with a bottle He started
to leave. but was called back by Whales,
who wanted him to open the door. When

hand behind him. as II to draw a weapion.
Thomas said he drew his gun and shot two
or three times. and then ran away. fearing
that he had not hit Whales. and that he
would harm him.

jurymen. the prisoner stated that he did
not habitually carry a gun, but had picked
the weapon up from under sideboard as
he left the house. This closed the testf-
mony. and after few minutes considera-

A stringent provision prohibiting the EN-
ployment in any executive department or
the government OF any employe over sixty
five years of age.at a greater salary than
$1,000. is under consideration by the House
committee appropriations, for inclusion
in the legislative, executive and judicial

Result of Investigation.
The committees action is the result OF
exhaustive investigation OF condi-
tons in the government departments

the percentage of approximation. and the
like. 1t is said to have been the most
complete inquiry Of its kind that has been
conducted in years.
The fact that such an investigation was
under way. as wen as its purpose. was pun
llshed in The Star soon after Congress con-
yened for the winter. Since then and until
very recently the inquiry has been IN
progress, and the fruits of the work were
laid before the appropriation committee
only week or 50 ago.
Since then the matter has been discussed
at great length by the members of the COM
mittee. and II is understood that some such
stringent and radical proposition as that
mentioned viii be found in the measure
when It is reported.
What the Inquiry Developed.
The inquiry made at the instigation OF
the committee developed the fact that more
than S2000.O00 a year is paid to govern
ment clerks in Washington who are sixty
five years OF age or older. OF these
clerks. a per cent receive more than sl.Ooc

Washington, D. c., (Specia) = The
President transmitted to Congress Mon
day the preliminary report of James T.
REYNOLDS and Charles P. Neill on con-
ditions in the stock yards.
In message accompanying the report
the President states that the conditions
which are shown to exist in the Chicago
stock yards are revolving, and that it is
necessary, in the interest Of health and
decency, that they be changed. 1t is
wholly impossible, he says, under the ex-
isting law, to secure satisfactory results.
The President declares that law is
needed to enable Government officials to
inspect meat from the hoof to the can,
the expense of the inspection to be levied
on each animal slaughtered. He urges
the immediate enactment of the Beve-
ridge amendment, which is intended to
secure rigid inspection.

there was a small, fresh scar on his

The stranger sought to take road

give this, whereupon guard arrested
