High winds. however, are to prevail
here and throughout this section
through the afternoon and into the
night Cold and clear weather is prom
ised for tomorrow.
The winds are from the southwest.
During the night. 1t is said, these will
shift to westerly and northWesterly
winds. gradually decreasing in velocity.
While not apprehensive that the storm
viii play unusual havoc, the bureau
considers II serious enough to send out
hurry warnings to all points where
shipping is In progress, as the possible
effect Of the squaH is not to be under
estimated.

AGED PROFESSOR
WEDS SUDDENLY
Trueman Abbe's Sons Un-
aware of His Engagement
to Miss Percival.

a romance thought 10 have begun on
a trip to St Croix. an island Of the
West Indies, eliminated today with the
announcement Of the marriage Of Prof.
Trueman Able, aged seventy, of the
United States Weather Bureau, to Idiss
Mary Percival, aged forty, OF Glencoeh
Md
The marriage took place in Philadel-
phia yesterday at the residence Of the
Rev. Earle, who performed the cere-
mony. The announcement came as a
complete surprise to two Of Prof. Able 8
sons, Dr. Cleveland Able, jr.. also en-
ployed by the Weather Bureau, and DR..
Trueman Able, q physician with offices
at 1913 NJ street.
Prof. Able was well known in scientific
circles in Washington because OF his
hfe-ling connection with the Weather
Bureau, and as editor of the Monthly
Weather Review, the official publication
Of that bureau. Until about a week
ago he resided at 20l7 I street. When
he announced his intention Of moving
to Baltimore his family was not sur
prised, as his work makes his presence
at the Baltimore office of the Weather
Bureau necessary frequently. He left
Washington last Wednesday, giving the
Baltimore office of the Weather Bu-
was in Washington and told DR.. Cleve-
land Able, 1r., that he had not yet found
a satisfactory lodging house in Balu-
more, but said nothing Of the approach
ing marriage.
Though he was known to be a friend
Of Miss Percivafs family nothing of
his intended marriage with Miss Per-
CiVal was suspected
, tss PecCival is a native Of st. CrOix.
bu. has been living in this country for
several years. Though his son was un-
able to confirm the rUmor friends in
this city think he net Miss Percival
when he visited the island about five
years ago, while on a summer tour
among the West Indies. About three
years ago Miss Percival's family moved
to Glencoe. Md, and the friendship was
renewed. Since that time the professor
has been a frequent visitor at Glencoe,
but il was not thought that his feeling
for Miss Percival was anything deeper
than friendship.
DR.. Able has for many years been
connected with the Weather Bureau
and assumed the editOrship of the
Monthly Weather Review shortly after
the department authorized that publi-
cation.

TAFT is PREPARING
FOR SUMNER REST
Will Have Collected Material
for Message Before Leav-
ing Washington.
By JAMES Hay. II.

So enormous have been the President's s
labors since his Inauguration that he
has decided TO collect practically all
the information he needs for the prepa-
ration of his message to the next ses-
sion OF Congress before he leaves Wash
ington.
In this way he will be enabled to get
a real rest in the summer and will be
free to devote most Of his time to visit
ing various sections Of the country. It
IS now expected that Congress will
finish with the tariff bill and adjourn by
June /
Between now and that time. the Presi-
dent will receive many reports from his
Cabinet officers on the topics which he
wishes to treat In his message to the
next regular session. After receiving
the reports, he will have conferences
with the individual members of his
Cabinet and with the Cabinet as a
whole. so that the only additional work
on the message necessary viii be the
compf ratively easy task of debating it
to the stenographers.
The Reports Expected.
Within the next few weeks the fol-
lowing reports are expected;
From Attorney General Wickersham
on the creation Of new bureau n
the Department OF Justice ana changes
in the interstate commerce law
From Secretary of Commerce and
Labor NageI on reorgantzing the Bu-
reau Of Corporations of his department
so that it will take over many of the
duties of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

srnment for preserving the public
health

DEAD IN THE HOTEL
WITH GAS JET OPEN
]. 0. LaFontisee, of Jack
Sonville, Victim of Sui
eide or Accident,

J. o. LaFontisee. Of Jacksonville,
Fla, was found de@d soon after y
o'clock today in a bath room on the
second floor of the Regent Hotel. Gas
was flowing from a jet on the wall.
and the door and window were both
closed and securely fastened
From papers found in the room, it
is believed that I.aFontisee came to
Washington on business connected with
the Bureau of Forestry.
Manager Wheeler, of the hotel, de-
tected the odor of gas, which he trac-
ed TO the bathroom. Finding the door
bolted, he had one Of the porters- get
a stepladder, and, by opening the
transOm. 1t was possible to shove the
bolt back with a long stick. LaFon-
tisee was lying on the floor, dressed
only in his underclothing.
A hurry call was sent to the Emer-
gency Hospital, but when the ambu-
lance arrived the surgeon pronounced
life extinct.
Mr.. LaFontisee first registered at the
hotel on April 4. He gave up his room
last Friday. but returned again the
same evening. and was given room on
the second floor
In his room were found several papers
indicating that he had made a study of
the titles of Southern lands ir which
4 the United States Government Is In
terested. There were numerous letters
which he had received from the Bureau
Of Forestry, all of which related to
land titles.
At the Bureau of Forestry IL was said
today that he had been employed there
since last July.
Mrs LaFontisee, who had been with
him, returned about ten days ago TO the
l.
sonville.
Mr.. LaFontisee was an ELK, and ii is
probable that arrangements for the re-
moval OF the body will be mad9 by that

CONSTANTlNOPLE, April i3.
Two battalions of mutinous troops
are now surrounding the house of
parliament, demanding the dismis-
sal of Grand Viziess Hilmi Pasha, the
war minister, and the president of
the chamber of deputies.
The march of the troops from

PARLEY WITH THE MEN.
Representatives of the Sultan are
parleying with the men but the latter
are iasistent in their demands and the
outcome is declared to be fraught with
the gravest possibilities to the new
regime.
The incipient revolution is the climax
OF a long period of dissatisfaction over
the way the new regime has been con-
Quoting the foreign affairs of the en-
pire. The recent passage by parliament
of the Austro-Turkish agreement, by
which Turkish territory was ceded
away, famed the spark of resentment
into flame OF rebellion It is declared
that we passage of this agreement Is
in direct violations of the constitution.

thirds majority vote, the vote being go
to 172.
Today's outbreak would have come
sooner but for the strength shown by
the Young Turks, who are primarily
blarned for the trouble.
The outbreak is due to the long
standing trouble between the Young
Turks. who control parliament, and the
liberals, who have been incensed ever
since the summary dismissal Of former
Grand Vizier Kiamn Pasha, who was
their leader. and the appointment Of
Hilmi Pasha, recognized as a mere
