MURPHY TESTS AIM
BY SHOT At PICTURE

Suicide Was Probably
Temporarily Insane.

picture of little girl and a kitten,
James J. Murphy, thirty-seven years
old, then turned his weapon on him.
self. His body lies at the morgue to-
day while the police wait for instruc-
tons as to the disposition of his body.
Murphy killed himself as he lay in
bed in his room at SC61s 1 street north
west yesterday afternoon. Near the
bed was a bottle half emptied of whisky.
After Coroner hewitt Investigated, he
gave certificate of suicide.
1t is thought Murphy was Respondent
over ill health. Although an employee
of the Navy Department, where he held
the post of Waterman, he had not been
at work for two weeks.
1t is thought that at the time he
killed himself his mind was unbalanced,
for he left a note reading:
If you see the little girl and the
cat on the window. l am going to shoot
her through the left eye-the left eye.
This will show you nerve If l hit her.
Do not think I am scared"
From the bed he leveled a revolver
at the picture and fired. The ball
struck below, and to the left of the
picture moment later Murphy sent
another bullet into his right temple.
The people with whom he boarded
heard both shots. They hurried to his
room, but found him dead.
Murphy was a native of Ireland and
a member of the Woodmen of the
World and of tE~ Spanish War Vet
Grams. He had been in Washington less
than a year. Nothing is known here
of his relatives.

MAINE WRECKED BY
INTERNAL EXPLOSION,
SAYS NAVY ENGINEER
Rear Admiral Melville's
Opinion Kept Secret Till
Eve of Savage.

NEW YORK, June 3.-That the
United States battieship Maine, now
| being uncovered in Havana harbor
was not blown up by Spanish ennis
, saries, but was destroyed by an in
ternal explosion, the result of an &C
cident, is the belief of Rear Admiral
George w. Melville, retired, who, at
the time of the disaster. was engin-
eer-in-chief of the American navy.
This startling statement is made
in letter written by Admiral Mel
Vile on January 20, 1902. to the late
House of Representatives. For state
reasons the letter was suppressed at
the time. It now appears in the
North American Review.
No Reflection on Inquiry.
to the question. the more I am con-
was due to an internal explosion,
writes Admiral Melville. I'm giving
this opinion there is no intention to re-
feet either upon the'discipline or morale
of the ship nor the sincerity OF the
views Of the court of inquiry. .
there have been explosions OF maya
zines and coal bunkers which have been
inexplicable and which have taken place
under circumstances that seemed inl-
possible 10 account for"
The admiral states that in this view
he is upheld by naval experts of
Europe. He declares his belief that at
the time OF the explosion the Spanish
government could not have contem-
plated war with the United States. else
1t would not have ordered the armored
cruiser Viscaya to proceed TO New
Work
The admiral says:
The Spanish are great mining en-
ant that the explosion of a great mine
within the harbor would destroy ship
ping slips and public buildings.
No Fragments of Shell.
The buoy used by the Maine was a
most desirable one. and Spanish mer-
chant ships were secured to 1t before
the Maine.
Not a single Spanish official has ever
yet been specifically. or even indirectly,
accused of the grave act
IF the Maine was destroyed by a
submarine mine what became of the
fragments of the she'll or the mine? It
Is to be presumed that our divers re-
ceived special Instructions to look for
such evidence"
Admiral Melville's letter is given pub
licity simultaneously with the announce
ment that the pumping around the
wreck of the Maine will begin June IS.
and soon thereafter II is probable the
cause of the explosion will be known
with certainty.

Who Owns Sugar Stock
Is Told by Munsey's

1t has developed recently that the
control of the American Sugar Refining
Company, which has a capital issue
Of s90,0oo,oOo. divided half and half into
common and preferred stock, is now
lodged in the hands Of small investors.
In other words, majority Of the COM
pany's capital is owned by persons who
hold amounts of fifty shares or less,
down to a single share.
At the present time the corporation
has more than $1,000 stockholders, many
of whom are fiduciaries, and nearly one
half OF whom are women. This marks
very radical change in the status of
the company's stockholdings. For more
than twenty years, American Sugar was

kicked hither and thither at will, to the

1t is Criminal
to Neglect the
Skin and Hair

THINK of the suffering
l. entailed by neglected skin
troubles - mental because
of disiguration, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the
pleasure of a clear skin, soft,
white hands, and good hair.
These blessings, so essential
to happiness and even sue
cess in life, are often only a
matter, of a little thoughtful
care in the selection of effec-
tive remedial agents. Cuti-

little, that it is almost crimi-
