BattIed for His Life
With Desperate Man
In POStOffice Hall

In one Of the quiet corridors Of tho
Postohice Department building. George
+. Shaw, superintendent of the building,
saved his life only by the strength of
his blows TO the face of an infuriated
man who attacked him viciously yester-
day afternoon, attempting 10 hurl Mr..
Shaw over the brass railing on the
eighth floor TO the glass covered court
seven floors below.
Two police surgeons today examined
Albert 3, EeIote, the man who attacked
Superintendent Shaw and recommended
that he be sent 90 the Washington
Asylum Hospital for observation and
treatment. Within the next ten days
specialists at the institution Will report
as TO his mental condition.
Rushed on Him Suddenly.
Mr., Shaw was standing leaning against
the railing on the eighth floor watch
ing some painters who were at work
on the roof OF the building, He heard
the rush Of footsteps behind him and
turned in time TO see coming toward
him the man Bel0te whose face was
cOnvulsed with anger. At the time Mr.
Shaw saw him he was scarcely a yard
from him.
He sprang at the superintendent with
snarl and caught him by the shoulders
and neck, striving TO force him over
the railing % the fan which would have
meant death.
Belote is six feet tall and built ac-
cordingly. Mr.. Shaw is about five feet
ten inches tail and of slender figure.
For IA moment the two strained desper-
ately. the one seeking Il life the other
defending himself from death. Those
who were passing along the corridor
halted, rooted in their footsteps by as
tOnishment
Landed Two Heavy Blows.
Suddenly Mr. Shaw freed his right
arm. With the quickness of lightning. he
struck Belote on the point OF the chin.

That gentleman, cooIly picking up the
straw hat he wore. remarked laugh

III I had gone over, Il would have been
hard on the glass down therc-and the

Lost Music.

But 0 for the touch of vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still.
In what fair world, our darling, doSt thou
dwell.
Since death hath thee released from earth
iy thrall?
Oh, break this lonely silence! Like a bell
Thy voice so sweet did rise and fall,
It's Joyous music seemed to ring through all
The clouds of care, the mists Of doubt and
din;
When thou vast here we heard its dulcet
call
Triumphant DER all worldly strife and din.
We need it now. Though angels ring thee
round,
Speak to the sad hearts here so lonely left !;
With human love still pulsng let the sound
Of thy glad voice give strength to us bereft
Oh hard it is in silence thus to go,
To hear no note, while thou are singing so !!
