LEAVES NOTE TELLING
OF SUICIDAL INTENTION
Disappearance of Ensign R. S.
Young, Jr., From New
York Navy Yard.

Ensign r. S. Young, jr., Of Concord,
N. c.. attached to the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Perkins, now at the New York
navy yard, disappeared from that vessel
last night, leaving a note stating that he
intended to drown himself. The officer
had slightly overstayed his shore leave
and had been called upon for an ex-
PLANTATION.
A telegram substantially to that effect
was received at the Navy Department
this morning from the commandant OF
the New York navy yard. It is expected
that additional Information will be re-
ceived later in the afternoon giving more
definite Information as to whether the
young man actually had executed his
threat to commit suicide. It is assumed
here that the naval authorities at New
York have undertaken to investigate the
matter thoroughly, with view to es-
tablishing the fact whether or not the
young man had drowned himself. and II
so. II his body had been recovered.
Ensign Young's Career.
None Of the naval officers at the Navy
Department is aware of any reason
mitted suicide. So far as known he
was entirely satisfied with the naval
service and had never been in any
serious trouble. He entered the navy
in June. 1904. and was commissioned
an ensign in June, 1910. Since his
graduation in June. 1908, he has been
attached to the torpedo boat Perkins,
the flagship of the 9th Torpedo Div1-
sion of the Atlantic feet The torpedo
division is commanded bY Lieut. Com
mander ]. r. P. Pringle. who also is
in direct command Of the Perkins. The
only other commissioned officers on
that vessel were Ensign Francis w.
Rockwell and Ensign Young.
A somewhat similar case was that
of Lieut.. Thomas L. Ozburn Of the
navy. who committed suicide on the
gunboat Tacoma at the New York navy
yard on the Sd instant by shooting
himself In the head. In that case It
was alleged that the officer had over
stayed his leave and was apprehensive
of court martial proceedings.

NORMENT TO RESIGN
PRESIDENCY TODAY
Head of Washington Railway
and Electric Company
Makes Statement.

In keeping with the interest which has
been manifested In Washington Railway
and Electric, the common stock of that
CORPORATION was again the center Of activ-
fty at the meeting today Of the Washing
ton Stock Exchange. Bidding for the
stock was again strong, and sales were
made on practically all offerings at frac-
tions over AZ and as high as 42ts. Eight
lots in all were sold. the opening price
being AZ. and in the face Of a steady de-
mand the quotations climbed upward.
Other transactions were recorded at AN
and 42g4. but the major portion of the
transfers were at 421a. The closing sale
was at AN. and after that the bid rose
to 42%. with the lowest offering at 43.
Following the announcement, printed
in The Star exclusively yesterday. that
Clarence F. Norment, president OF the
National Bank Of Washington and pres
ident of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. probably would retire
from the presidency Of the railway COM
pany in the very near future. to be sue
ceeded by Clarence King, president Of
the allied companies of the Washington
Virginia Railway Company, 1t is learned
that Mr.. Norment will offer his resigna-
ton at meeting OF the board OF d.
the offices Of the American Security and
Trust Company late this afternoon.
In an interview this afternoon. Mr..
Norment said: IT have no hesitancy in
saying that I have been anxious for some
time to retire from the presidency Of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. and I will offer my resignation at
the directors meeting this afternoon.
other interests demand all Of my time
and attention. and this fact have sought
to impress as strongly as possible upon
the railway company directors. Whether
they will accept the resignation. OF
course. 1 cannot say. but trust they
will do So"
Mr.. Norment said he could not fore
cast what action the board would take
in selecting his successor, In event his
resignation is accepted. but informa-
ton gathered from other sources made
It seem almost certain that Mr.. King
will be chosen for the position. and 1t
is considered strongly probable that
the movement to form union between
the Washington Railway and Electric
COMPANY and the Washington Virginia
Railway Company will then be pressed
forward.

with Newton.
