RELIEVED OF COMMAND
GEN. MACARTHUR WILL WRITE
UP HIS EASTERN OBSERVATIONS.
Will Practically Relinquish Active
Military Service When He Goes to
Milwaukee Next Month.

BY direction of the Presden Lieut.. Gen.
Arthur Macarthur, United States Army, is
relieved from the command of the Pacific
division and of the department Of Califor-
MIA, at San Francisco, to take effect April
3d. and will then proceed to and take sta
ton at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, there to per-
form such duties may hereafter be as
signed to him by the War Department.
memorandum issued at the War De-
partment says that the order directing Gen
Macarthur to take station at Milwaukee
was issued at his request, to enable him to
write up his report on the trip of inspection
and investigation made through India and
emma last year. pursuant to instructions
from the Secretary of War
AS shown by the order Gen. Macarthur
Will not be relieved of his present duties at
San Francisco until April 20. No one has
yet been selected to succeed him, but it is
said there is an abundance of available
tary division will be abolished June 30 it
is likely that the officer detailed to relieve
Gen. Macarthur in command of the De-
partment of California May 1 next will
be also placed in command of the Pacific
division from that date until it's abolition
two months later.
1t is said that Notwithstanding he Is the
ranking officer of the army, his relations
with President Roosevelt are such that it
Is not likely he will ever be called on to
assume the duties of chief Of staff at
Washington, presumably the most import
ant office in the military establishment.
Although he does not retire for age until
June, 1909, Gen. Macarthur will practically
relinquish active military service when he
takes lIp his residence in Milwaukee early
in May. Another thing settled by that
transfer is that Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
viii have command of the Department of
United States from the Philippines next
fall.

that another meeting between representa-

DEATH BY SHOOTING
MRS. FLORENCE AUDoUN NC
CoMAs ENDS HER LIFE.
Made Unsuccessful Attempt to Com
NIT Suicide Last Month-Coroner
Issues a Certificate.

Mrs. Florence Audoun McComas forty
five years Of age. who attempted suicide
February by cutting her throat. as stated
in The Star at the time, ended her life this
afternoon by shooting herself through the
heart. The deed was committed at her
home, 1406 l. street, where she was when
she cut her throat. DIR. H. s. Dye, who has
an office in the house, was in his office at
the time the shot was fired He heard the
report, and Immediately feared the worst
DR.. Dye was in his Office at the time Mrs
McComas cut her throat, and it was said to
be probably due to his prompt and heroic
work a. the outset that the surgeons at the
Emergency Hospital were able to discharge
her from that institution later in the month
as cured.
DIR. E. NJ. McComas, husband of the de-
ceased, conducted drug store at 14th and
I streets northwest for number Of years
He is now in business at 18th and II
streets. Soon after DR.. Dye hurried to the
upper floor Of the house this afternoon and
found that Mrs. McComas had killed her
self, he sent word to her husband. The
latter FASTENED to the house and to the
third floor to make certain that his wife
was dead. Reaching there he found her
body stretched upon the floor powder burns
on ner oreSS lnQlcdtlnS the location OF the
wound.
Mrs. McComas suffered an attack of ty-
phoid fever last winter and nervous
breakdown followed. She had been about
the house only short while before she cut
her throat. After her recovery She re-
turned home, and while she seemed much
improved. showed signs Of mental depres-
sion at times.
Husband Greatly Shocked.
Nothing unusual was noticed regarding
her conduct this morning by her husband
before he left home, and he was greatly
shocked when advised Of what had trans
pired during his absence.
About noon Mrs. McComas left her room
on the second floor and went to the upper
landing, where she stood before a table
and removed her lace collar. Then she
aimed the weapon and discharged it. She
placed the weapon upon the small table
after she had fired the shot and then fell
to the floor where she was found by Dr.
Dye The weapon she used had been in
the family a number of years, it is stated
and it old make.
Coroner hewitt reached the house shortly
after l o'clock and viewed the body He
quickly reached the conclusion that Mrs.
McComas had committed suicide. He gave
the necessary death certificate and an I'M
dertaker was sent for to prepare the body
for cremation. DR.. McComaS said this
afternoon that he did not then know where
the ashes Of his wife will be inferred. They
may be taken to Hagerstown, where many
relatives Of the McComas family reside.
