Out of Work and Cash.
He Takes His Own Life

Despondent because he had only p
cents. and mo- prospects of work, Frank
B. Heflin committed suicide today after
locking himself in his room at sO7 Sixth
street northwest and turning on the gas
jet He was about fifty years old. His
body was found shortly before noon.
lying on the floor, dressed ONLY in his
underciothing. The bed had been tossed
and the mattress half dragged to the
floor.
Mrs. Middlekauff, the landlady. said
she heard Hefin come in this morning
about 4 o'clock. At 8 o'clock she went
downstairs to the front hall and no.
ticed that a rug was missing. She then
went upstairs to the top floor, where
Hefin had his room and noticed the
edge Of the rug sticking out from under
his door. Detecting the odor of gas,
she notified Crossing Policeman G. H
Haines, who went to the house.
The door was locked and had to be
broken down. Helm apparently had
struggled and had fallen of the bed in
his agony. Coroner hewitt was notified,
and an inquest probably will be held
this afternoon.
Hefiin came here a month ago, and In
letter to his sister, Mrs. Anna +.
enbeck, Dos Sixth street southeast,
said he was tired of life and was going
to end It all. A brother, J. w. Hefiih,
of Mainland, Va, has been notified, and
the body will be taken to the morgue
10 await his wishes.

House Committee Still
Awaits Records; Probe
To Be Far Reaching

The House Committee on Expendi-
sture in the Department of Agriculture,
which is 10 Investigate charges against
DIR. Wiley. as we'll as the motive behind
the demand for his resigntion. is still
in the case from the Secretary of Agri-
culture. AS soon as these records are
received the committee will begin its
hearings andw probably will first sum-
mon DR.. Wiley and Secretary Wilson.
Although the charges against DR..
Wiley are that he technically violated
an appropriation statute by paying too
much for the per diem services of an
expert needed in the administration of
The House committee is not to stop
there.
A general belief seems to exist in the
House that the interests" which have
fought DR.. Wiley for ten years past
are behind tnis latest attack upon him,
and the department will be asked to
produce all papers in its possession
bearing upon criticisms of DR.. Wiley's
Interpretation of the pure food and
drug law.
will consider the charge against the
chief Of the Bureau Of Chemistry. and
the recommendation OF the Attorney
General that he should be dismissed.
The real investigation. however. will
concern the relentless war waged upon
DR.. Wiley by the whisky, patent medi-
cine, drug, glucose. and other interests
that have persistently attacked the
Wiley administration.
The House Committee will hold no
hearing until the department complies
with its request for the production of
documents, and these probably will not
be forthcoming until DR.. Wiley has
made his explanation to the President,
thus completing the record.

DISCREPANCY SEEN
IN TAX FIGURES ON
THE UNION BUILDING
Assessor Richards Contra
diets Statement Made by
Lewis Boyer.

Contradicting the testimony of I.ewia
Boyer, secretary and treasurer of the
company owning the Union building,
Tax Assessor Richards. of the District,
appeared before the House Committee
on Expenditures in the Treasury De-
partment today.
Mr.. Boyer testified that the Union
Building Company. in which relatives OF
former Senator Hale are interested
paid taxes on an assessment of $352. 600.
According to. the District tax assessor.
the taxes are levied on only s9O3, ,S3l.
This is the assessment at the present.
declared Mr.. Richards, and will be for
three years more.
When Mr.. Boyer, representing the
Union Building Company, was before
the committee a week ago, Chairman
Cox asked him about the tax assess
ment on the building, which has been
used by the Government for years.
1t Is assessed at above 5000, 900 dollars,
$S5Z,OO l think" said Mr.. Beyer.
What is the rate here in the citv7'.
asked Mr.. Cox.
1T Is considered, on a general aver
age, two-thirds of the value" said Mr..
Boyer. -"'
. Insa when en- yog o say that the building
amount7'
No, we pay taxes on that amount. "
said Mr.. Boyer.
You pay taxes on three hundred and
ffty-odd thousand?" --O
Yes, answered Mr.. Boyer.
Assessor Richards told the committee
today that the Union building maid
taxes on an assessment OF only sos, s3l -.
The committee seemed impressed with
the tax assessors contradiction of the
testimony of Mr.. Boyer, but made no
comment upon the discrepancy.

DR.. SHAW'S SERMON
IN NORWAY CHURCH
CREATES BIG STIR
Raises a Political Question
That Must Be Settled at
Next Election.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Rev. Dr. Anna
H. Shaw, President of the National
Woman Suffrage Association, has just
returned on the New York from the In
ternational Woman Suffrage Conven-
ton in Stockholm, Sweden. where Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait was reelected
president of the Woman Suffrage AL
lance.
DR.. Shaw had the distinction of being
made a party issue In Norway and OF
sharing space in Norwegian newspa-
pers with st. Paul the Apostle. At least
her friends abroad told her so. DR.,
Shaw does not know the Morse Ian
guage.
The convention was opened with a
service in the state church in Stock
holm. The pastor gave DR.. Shaw per-
mission to preach a sermon from his
pulpit. She was the first woman to
preach in a church in that country.
Her success encouraged the suffragists
to ask permission for her to preach in
the state church at Chrtstiania, Nor
way. Permission was refused by the
minister Of church affairs on the ground
Norway, they may not hold office in
army, navy, or church.
Made a Party Issue.
When l left there the fight was still
on" said DR.. Shaw. II am told 1t has
been made a party issue, and probably
will figure in the next election.
About 1000 delegates, representing
twenty-six countries, were al the con-
vention. We had immense audiences
The Swedes are enthusiastic in their
applause of what they like
From Scandinavia DR.. Shaw went to
London.
Il am told" said she, that at the
suffrage parade on June II, when o.
OC0 women marched in London, there
was more enthusiasm than at the coro-
nation. Prime Minister AsQuith has
promised the suffrage bill hearing at
the next session of parliament, and all
the leaders of the movement are SAN
guine of the success of the measure.
Politicians keep Promises"
81 was surprised at the confidence
Mrs. Pankhurst and the others showed
in this promise and asked them why
they felt so sure. They replied that the
promise had been made by a politician,
and could not be broken. 1 asked II
politicians kept their promises in Eng
land, ana was told that If they did not
the politicians would be defeated at the
polls.
ticians' promises were made only to be
broken"
DR.. Shaw left Mrs. Gait in London.
The latter woman expects to start
on a world tour, taking in South
Africa, India, Australia. the Philip
pines, China. and Japan. The trip
will take eighteen months, and Mrs.
Gait will do much organizing.
