WOMAN ENDS HER LIFE
MRS. NINA MCCORMICK IN
HALEs ILLUMINATING GAS.

Mrs. Nina Mccormick, flfty-fve years
of age. committed suicide last night or
this morning at her home. 931 P street.
by inhaling Illuminating gas. Friends Of
the deceased told the police this morning
that the act was the result of illness and
worry. Mrs. Mccormick was a widow,
and occupied a room in the apartment OF
her married brother. She had frequently
said she did not like the idea of being de-
pendent on anybody for support, the po-
lice were told. and recently she suffered
an attack Of nervous prostitution She
had about recovered, but was still wor-
ried.
Mrs. Mccormick last evening was about
the house as usual, conversing with Mrs.
Miller, from whom the McCormicks rent
an apartment, and with others. About 10
o'clock she went to her room. Mrs. MIL
Ter this morning about 8 o'clock was
awakened by the odor of gas, and
started an investigation. She soon dis
covered that the gas was flowing from
Jets in the room occupied by hars. Mo
Cormick Mrs Miller aroused other per-
sons and proceeded to effect an entrance
to the room from which the gas was
flowing. The door was found so securely
fastened that 1t was necessary to have
some one CilnD ia llEOu6u q "AAuoWs
1t was found that the gas was flowing
from two jets. The flow was cut of and
the window and door opened. A hasty
examination satisfied those in the house
that Mrs. Mccormick was dead, but in
order that no mistake might be made q
call was sent to the Emergency Hospital.
The ambulance with one OF the surgeons
RESPONDED. The surgeon examined the
body and promptly announced that life
was extinct. His opinion Is the gas had
been turned on before midnight
Coroner hewitt made an investigation
of the affair and gave the necessary GER
tificate Later the body was prepared
for burial. The funeral will probably
take place Monday.
Coroner hewitt heard the statements OF
Mrs. Miller and of relatives of the de-
tceased before he reached the conclusion
that Mrs Mccormick had committed sui
eide. The coroner was told that Mrs. Nc.
Cormick became suddenly. blind about
eighteen months ago, and that she had
since experienced periods of mental de-
preston.

Inquiries Of General Interest.

LAS a rule, the experiment station will
undertake only such investigations as
Will lead to results of fundamental i'm
portance, results that will be helpful to a
large class of engineers or manufacturers.
1t will not undertake work of Importance
to individuals only, such as the testing of
device or invention for the sole benefit
of the inventor.
That the work of the station Is meet
ing with the approval Of manufacturers
and engineers is evidenced by the numer-
Gus requests that have come In from va
riouS industries asking for tests of their
materials and information concerning
their work. Many of these are of a pri-
vate or special nature which the station
Is not prepared to undertake. For many
of them, however, we are gaining a
knowledge of what the public is anxious
to have done, and We are receiving sug-
geStions that will be of the greatest value
to US in determining our future lines of
Investigations.
In order that the greatest of care shall
be exercised in the selection of subjects
to be investigated continued Prof.
Breckenridge, and that the results shall
be issued in such shape as will best serve
the purposes of engineers and manufac-
turers, it has been thought desirable that
there shall be organized several commit
tees of conference on matters of wide
spread Importance. Two such commit
tees have already been appointd; the
conference COMMITTEES on fuel tests. and
the conferences committee on electric trac-
ton tests, each composed Of representa-
tives from the leading engineering organi-
cations"
