STREETS ARE CLEANED OF
SNOW TO ADMIT OF PARADE
ACCOMPANYING INAUGURAL

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The city
of Washington, where President-elec
Taft was indicted into office today, was
for time completely isolated by Sc
we're snowstorm. The Washington
street cleaning department of the Dis
trict of Columbia was removing the
snow SO that the parade could COM
mence.
This city was visited by similar
storm during the second Inauguration
of Grover Cleveland, and at that time
though the formal ceremonies were car
ried out, many of those who part1ci-
pated never recovered from the effects
of the storm. X
Scores of the paraders, including
many West Point cadets, were at this
time stricken with pneumonia and sew
eral fatalities resulted. Following the
inaugural ceremonies agitation de-
veloped to have the next Inauguration
held April 80 or some time in the month
OF May, but congress did not take any
action in the matter.
The snowstorm which swept the en-
tire Atlantic seaboard early today at
tanned blizzard proportions, and lines
of communication I'm all directions
from the national capital were broken
Train dispatchers reported that train
movement was hampered and that tbs
storm had greatly aggravated the nat
ural congestion of transportation In
Washington.
AS showing the complete isolation OF
Washington, efforts to reach that point
at 10 o'clock this morning were made
by long distance telephone from st.
Louis. thence to Louisville and back to
Lynchburg, Va. This resulted in few
words from Lynchburg, which is 12O
miles south of Washington.

STEPS OUT OF LIFE
AT WESTLAkE PARK
BOOKMAKER SHOOTS HIMSELF
THROUGH HEART
Dependency Induced by Losses on
the Race Track Thought
to Have Prompted
the Act

E. W. Harmon, A years old, a former
bookmaker, living with his sister, Mrs
E. w. Dearborn, at 100 South Thomas
street, committed suicide by shooting
himself through the heart at Westlake
park at $3.50 o'clock yesterday evening.
Dependency because of losses at the
race track is thought to have prompted
the act.
No one witnessed the deed. Harmon
had been sitting on a bench in ths
park and evidently watched his oppor-
tunity to fire the shot without being
seen.
DR.. w. McNabb. a guest at the
Hotel Leighton. which fronts the
park, was the first man to reach Har-
mon. DR.. McNabb was sitting on the
veranda of the hotel and heard the
report. He looked toward the park and
saw a man lettering. He ran over to
him and reached the spot just as
Harmon fell.
The blood was squirting from a
wound in the mans breast and the
physician tore off the clothes and at
tempted to staunch the flow of blood.
His efforts were useless, however. and
Harmon died within a few minutes.

Mrs Dearborn became alarmed and
began search. She was unable to
find any trace of her brother. and
fearing he had committed suicide,
telephoned to several undertaking
establishments. When she got into
communication with Bresee Bros she
was told that a man leaving nota
signed Harris" had committed sui
eide, and was given his description.
She identified the body as that of her
brother, f. w. Harmon.
The dead man wore good clothes.
He recently had been shaved and all
indications are that he deliberately
planned his end. When the pockets al
his clothing were searched only So
cents was found.
1t Is probable the coroner will sign
a certificate of suicide without holding
an inquest.

AMERICAN MEAT SAID
TO BE UNFIT TO EAT
Fifteen carcasses Found to Have
the Emphatic Glands Removed,
Which Is Said to indicate
Presence of Illness

LONDON, March 4.-Startling allie
cations concerning the diseased con-
dition of some recent consignmeuts of
American meat are contained in a re-
port by DR.. Williams of the port of
London, presented to the city council
today.
In a shi. .ment of meat arriving
February DR.. Williams says he found
that 52S sheep livers and 100 lungs were
diseased out of a total of 2400 There
were also 300 frozen carcasses on board
this ship, of which fifteen were minus
the Emphatic glands. One carcass was
affected with tuberculosis.
There is no necessity" DR.. Williams
says, 'of removing the Emphatic
glands unless with some specific OBJ
ject, and presumably in the case of
the fifteen carcasses found without
glands they had been detected on in
spection in the United States to show
some evidence of disease"
Continuing, DR.. Williams pointed out
that in the above consignment more
than 600 cases of tongues, livers,
plucks, ETC., bore an official label indi-
eating they had been inspected and
passed as sound in the country of ex-
portation. The city council decided to
forward DR.. Williams report to the
government board in order that the al
legations may be brought to the at
tention of Ambassador Reid.
