Mr.. RoCKEFELLER's LETTER.
Delayed Epistle Commencing the
Colored Y. M, C.. A.

One of the numbers of the corner stone
laying program of the Colored Y NJ. c.
A. last Thursday. a which President
Roosevelt and Commissioner Mcfarland
spoke, was omitted by the delay Of a
letter from Mr.. Rockefeller. DR.. Thir-
kield. chairman OF the campaign commit
tee, has given the communication to the
press, and regrets that it could not have
been read on Thursday. Inasmuch as
the initial offer by Mr. Rockefeller of
$4,000. conditioned on the raising of a
like amount in Washington, made the
present structure for the Colored Y NJ
e. A possible Mr. Rockefeller's evident
appreciation Of the spirit shown by the
colored people Of the city is gratifying
TO the local committee.
The letter. which was dated November
81 and addressed to Dr. Thirkield, was
follows:
Dear DR.. Thirkield: In compliance
with your suggestion that a word from
me would be welcome on the occasion of
laying the corner stone of the building
of the colored branch of the Washington
Young Mems Christian Association,
take pleasure in giving this expression to
the admiration which all must feel for
the splendid work which the colored men
of Washington have done in raising from
among the members of their own race the
building possible. 1t was the unique re-
lationship which the Washington Young
Mems Christian Association. in both it's
white and colored branches, bears to the
country at large. In that 1t is national
in its scope, and not. as in the case of the
associations in other cities. wholly or
largely local. which led me to depart from
my usual precedents in making the con-
ributions to these two building cam
paigns. This notable success of the col
.red men i'm the nations capital i'm demon
strating their capacity, men, to ac-
complish large things, makes me Ice,
proud 10 have been permitted TO partici-
pate In the work and makes me hope
that their example may prove an in
u alton 10 their raca throughout fne
nation
Very truly yours

CORONER TO HOLD INQUEST
INQUIRY TO BE MADE INTO
WILLIAM HURLEY'S DEATH.
Question Whether District Employees
Were Culpable Will Probably
Be Discussed.

Coroner hewitt will hold an inquest to-
| morrow morning at the morgue over the
remains of William Hurley, who was
killed yesterday morning by bank tall
ing upon him while working on the farm
of William Hayes, at Barnaby Branch
and Livingston roads. An examination
Of the body at the morgue showed that
Hurley's death was due to suffocation.
Although Hurley had worked for Mr..
Hayes for only two months. he was eX-
tensively and favorably known in that
section. having worked on the Maryland
farm belonging to the Government Hos
ptta1 for the Insane, near there. about
two years.
Hurley was one Of the hardest work
ing men l have ever known said Mr..
Hayes to a Star reporter. He was a
man who did not indulge in strong drink,
and was always ahead with his work.
Not only was he an able and will ing
worker, but he was trustworthy in every
respect
The Accident.
Mr.. Hayes said that Hurley had all
| his work about the farm finished yes
terday morning by breakfast time. and
was ready to haul few loads Of dirt
to fill ditch shortly after he had eaten
his breakfast. Hurley was directed to
remove the earth from near one end of
the high bluff that had been left when
District employees had hauled away the
dirt Mr.. Hayes had donated for the pur-
pose of repairing the road. Mr.. Hayes
thinking he would be safe there. When
the lands .lde started. 1t Is believed Hur-
ley became bewildered and ran in the
wrong direction, several tons of earth
ling upon him.
The position in which his body was
found indicated that he had mad. a severe
struggle. but the weight on him was SO
great that it was utterly impossible for
him to eXtricate himself When young
Arthur Hayes discovered what had hap
pened and summoned assistance. those
who responded did not know exactly
where to dig for the body. Firemen, MEM
bers OF No. ) chemical company. and Ana
costa policemen assisted the country pso-
pie in the work Of removing the sand and
clay. and it was some time before they
found the body.
Question of Culpability.
DR.. Arthur n. Meloy, who had re-
sponded to a call for assistance. sent to
Anacostia. saw at a glance that Hurley
| was dead. DR.. J. 4. Watson reached the
scene of the accident later, accompany ing
Photographer Sandbers Of the police de-
partment. The photographer took view
of the high bluff and will exhibit it to the
jury tomorrow when the inquest Is held.
1t is likely that the question whether the
District employees left the hill i'm dan
gerous condition will be discussed at the
inquest Attorneys Mcneil & Mcneil and
William n. Fisher will represent Mr.
| HAYES and Hurley's relatives. Hurley's
| body was removed from the morglle to the
| undertaking establishment of Thomas r.
| Nalley & Son. 1881 18th street southeast,
| and arrangements were made to have the
| funeral take place from there this morn
ing. The interment will be at Mount
Olivet.
