roof of the mill. When found one foot
of the imam was touching the floor.
while tne other knee was bent against
an upturned barrel. Nearby was dfIE
covered the hat Of the victim. The
affair had been carefully planned and.
the most remarkable timing connected
with the suicide was the method used.
The hanging end contained a small
hole. The maj had evidently sotte+
on top OF a barrel, wrapped the cloth
about his neck in such a wsy that By
placing his finger through the hole In
the end, It became a deadly sliptknot
and then jumped. from the barrel. Cor

completion of his services as governor.
The nominate was opposed by sew
eral influential senators on the ground
that General Woods highest rank in

was confirmed.

surgeon-for the dangers and fascina.

energy won by athletic training stood
him in good stead. The young army
doctor even at that early period of his
career became famous for his long and
powerful stride This fame followed
him to San Juan, and when in after

glory by retaining Santiago from its
degradation and filth he became known
