rKilIed BY the Shifter.

Milton Peaks, a colored driver
for the Darlington Lumber Conn
pany. lost his life last Saturday
by being run over by the shifting
engine on the Seaboard railway.
The negro was driving across the
track at the private crossing
near the lumber yard and did not
see the approaching engine until
it was too late, neither could the
engineer see the wagon team.
The body of the negro was
terribly mangled, his legs and
body being broken and bruised
all over. The coroner was sum-
moned, but there was no neces-
sity Of holding an inquest, and
the remains were turned over to
the relatives for burial.

beach for the next fiscal year, submitted to
the Commissioners, w. X. Stevens, superin
tendent has asked for total appropria-
ton Of $4,000, three times the amount al
lowed for the present fiscal year. The rea-
son for the increase, Superintendent Stevens
says, is an urgent necessity for clearing
the bottom of the swimming pools Of weeds
and vegetable matter and further perfecting
the bottoms by laying cement. Such i'm
provement, Mr.. Stevens explains. would
prevent growth Of weeds. He proposes to
devote SOS, 900 to the work.
Superintendent Stevens asks that his sal
ary, which IS now $780, be increased to
$1,000. He points out that his position Is
one that calls for mechanical managing
and ability and experience with water
dams. and continuous service Of twelve
hours a day. including Sundays. for four
months eight hours a day for two months
and two hours a day for the rest Of the
wear. He also asks that the salary of Wal
ter Davis, Waterman at the beach, be in
creased from $3.50 year to $40. For the
temporary employees and for maintaining
and repairing he asks 81 $50, which amount
ia $40 more than was allotted this year. He
also desires $1,000 for the construction of
additional bath houses and for the i'm

PULLEN IN CUSTODY
HELD PENDING INQUEST OVER
BODY OF GEORGE D. SINCLAIR.

George D. Sinclair, who was reported to
have been accidentally shot by William A.
Pullen at the home of the latter, 142 NJ
street southeast, last Thursday night, died
at the Casualty Hospital yesterday after
noon. Robert Sinclair, brother OF the de-
ceased, did not accept the statement of
Pullen, that the wounded man had shot
himself, and an investigation resulted in
the arrest last night Of Pullen. The latter
then admitted that the weapon was in his
hand at the time the shot was fired. He
says the pistol was accidentally discharged.
Il was so greatly worried and frightened
Thursday night when 1 said Sinclair had
shot himself" Pullen remarked to a Star
reporter today at the fifth precinct station
that 1 hardly knew what 1 was saying"
Pullen is employed at the State. War and

Sinclair having been employed as railway
freight conductor. Thursday night about
o'clock. the prisoner stated today, Sinclair
appeared at his house, saying he wanted to
borrow some cartridges When he went to
the door, he added, he found Sinclair TAX
he had 1t wrapped. Pullen said he had a
match in his hand when he accepted the
weapon from Sinclair, and cannot explain
just how it happened to be- discharged.
When the bullet struck Sinclair, he said,
according to. Pullen: m shot. Send for
pap and the ambulance"
Robert Sinclair visited the wounded man
a. the hospital yesterday and learned from
him that the shot had been fired by Pullen
and. not by himself Pullen had stated.
He then found that the bullet had entered
the right side of the coat under the left
arm, and he felt certain that his brother
could not have shot himself there acct
dentally. The brother reported the result
of his investigation to the police last night
and the arrest followed. An autopsy was
performed at the morgue this afternoon,
and Pullen will be held at the fifth precinct
