Special Dispatch to The Star


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 21.-For Charley
Moon life held nothing more, so he sought
out little hotel on Sd avenue to kill him
self with as little display as possible. He
had tasted of the civilization of the occi-
dent, he had gone to Christian school and
he had discarded his queue; his Chinese
blouse had given way to the clothing of the
states; he was learning to speak the tongue
of the Americans, but it was not for him.
Perhaps an entry found afterward in the
blood-stained notebook in his pocket was
explanatory of his act. 1t read:
II do not pretend to be adequate for an
office"
Charley Moon appeared at the Central
Hotel, 2125 Sd avenue. at 6 o'clock last
night. He had mastered sufficient English
to make the clerk understand that he
wished a room. He was assigned to No 10
significant number. He went directly to it
and locked his door.
1t was still early morning yesterday when
the chambermaid went through the hall
ways and outside No. 13 smelled smoke She
raped on the door, but Moon did not open
Then she grew suspicious and hurrie l
down stairs to notify the night manager,
William Schneider. Schneider and Miller,
who is porter employed at the place, went
back with the maid, ana 1alllng to get In
through the door of No. Ii, unlocked the
door of room IA and made their way to the
balcony fire escape. AS they opened the
window of No. Ii out burst cloud of
smoke.
Miller got an extingusher, but the fire
generated gas which forced the acid
through the tube of the extingusher and
sprayed it over Miller's face and hands
he was burned, but not seriously Moon lay
stretched out motioness against the door
It was plain that he had staggered there
after cutting his throat and barred entrance
with his body when he heard the chamber
maid approaching.

FOR BUREAU OF HEALTH.
Andrew Carnegie to Help Prof. Nor
toms Movement.

NEW YORK, December 21.-One hundred
prominent men throughout the country
have consented to the use of their names
as members of a committee to further the
movement for national department of
health, which was launched by Prof ].
Pease Norton of Yale at the meetings of
the American Association for the Advance
ment of Science held in Ithaca last sum-
mer.
President Roosevelt was consulted regard
ing the movement, and told. it's promoters
that the best method to follow was to Sc
cure popular Endorsement by agitation. This
Prof. Norton proposes to do. The committee
1t not pledged to support any particular
plan and is free to recommend the estab-
lishment of department with representa-
tive in the cabinet, or of bureau under
one of the existing departments, either a
new bureau or the enlargement of one Of
the existing organizations, like the marine
hospital service. Prot. Irving Fisher has
named the committee, which includes An
drew Carnegie, Thomas A. Edison, Arch
bishop Ireland, John Mitchell, John D.
Long Felix Adler, James R. Garfield, Gen.
Leonard Wood, the surgeons general of the
army and navy, Booker 7. Washington
colored, and many educators and scientists
ITO equip human machinery, consisting
of exceptional men organized and kept in
action, to make Roadway against disease
and death-cancer and tuberculosis being
particularly mentioned-is the gist of Prof.
Norton's recommendations. and he holds
that at least 00,O0O.OOO should be appropri-
ated annually for the purpose. Thousands
have been expended by the government for
stamping out cholera among swine, but not
81 was ever voted for graduating pneu-
monia among human beings" he declares.
Several existing bureaus, like the ma
rine hospital service, the bureau of animal
industry and the life-saving service, might
form the nucleus Of such a department;
while the work of the labor. census and
immigration bureaus might be considered
IN
powers would include all measures to de-
crease death and sickness and to increase
the physical and mental efficiency of the
people.

ARRAIGNS THE PEERS
BRITISH PREMIER DECLARES
WILL OF PEOPLE MUST PREVAIL.

LONDON, December 21.-The education
bill was buried by Premier Campbell Ban
herman in the house of common yesterday
afternoon. After a speech Of considerable
emphasis defending the course of the lower
house In rejecting the the house of lords
amendments as a whole and repudiating
the claim of the peers that. they have the
right to lecture the commons on the sub
ject. the premier announced that the gov
eminent had decided to withdraw the
measure. The constitutional phase of the
dispute was referred to by the premier in
his peroration as follows:
rs the general election and it's result to
go for nothing?" he asked with warmth.
1T Is intolerable that the second chamber,
while one party is in power, shall be its
willing servant, and that when that party
Is emphatically condemned by the country
IL snail still be able to thwart and distort
the policy which the electors approved. 1t
may be necessary to submit for the mo-
ment, out neither the resources Of the Brit
ish constitution nor of the house of COM
mons are yet wholly exhausted, and a way
must and will be found whereby the will of
the people, expressed through their elected
representatives in the house Of commons
will be made to prevail"
Prolonged cheering greeted the premier s
declarations.
A Serious Rebuff.
Although the rejection Of the main liberal
measure Of the session is the most serious
rebun Sir Henry Campbell Bannermans
cabinet has yet suffered, it was not regard
ed as being sufficiently grave to necessitate
an appeal to the country. Whether at the
present moment the government could sue
cessfully appeal to the nation on the educa-
uonal bill Is the question on which even
many liberals are in great doubt.
The only immediate effect of the step
taken by the upper house, therefore, will be
to give an enormous impetus to the radical
agitation in favor Of curling the veto pow
ers of the peers and to furnish the non-com-
formists with new gun and ammunition
in their fight for the disestablishment of the
Church Of England. There Is a wide
spread impression that a purely secular ed
ucation bill will be introduced during the
next session of parliament, while no doubt
the cabinet during recess will consider what
means are possible to prevent the lords
from multiplying prolonged labors of the
commons and to debar their veto of meas
ures passed twice by the lower house.
1t is the general view of the politicians
that the peers have entered upon consti-
tutionai struggle embracing much more
than the/education bill. The liberals prom
ise that there shall be no cessation of the
fight until the constitutional issue is settled
L. to whether the liberal party is to be for
ever checkmated by the standing commit
tee of the tory peers"
King Edward this morning received the
premier at Buckingham Palace. 1t is I'M
derstood that his majesty wished to be fully
informed regarding the cabinets views on
the political situation as affected by the ed
ucation question.
