OCEY SNEAO DEATH
MYSTERY CLEARED
Counsel for Victims Mother,
Awaiting Sentence, De-
scribes Murder"

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-For the first
time mystery surrounding the death Of
Mrs. Ocey Snead, the beautiful young
woman whose body was found in the
bath tub of the House of Mystery,
in East Orange, in November, 1909, was
partially cleared today, when Samuel
kallsh, counsel for Mrs. Caroline B..
Martin. the victims mother, who is in
the Newark Jail waiting sentence after
pleading guilty to involuntary man
slaughter. appeared before Judge Ten
Eyck. in the court of oyer and terminer
today and pleaded that the aged woman
be given a minimum sentence.
That Ocey Snead's death was due to
an overdose of morphine given her by
her mother to alleviate pain was the
contention of the lawyer.
Mrs. Martini" he said, admins
tered to her daughter a quantity Of
morphine, as she had done on many
previous occasions. The morphine
proved too much, however, and almost
instantly Ocey sank into a stupor.
She died in her mothers arm while
the latter was carrying her UP stairs
to the bath room.
Overcome by the horror of the sit
uatiOn the mother did only what any
other person in her frame of mind
would have done, attempted to cover
the deed and give it the appearance of
suicide"

Bonilla's Strength
Shown By Dispatch

Manuel Bonilla, leader of the revolu-
ton against President Davilla, of Hon
duras, has a strong following in Tegu-
cigaIpa, the capital of Honduras. it is
reported in a dispatch received today
by the State Department from Minister
McCreery.
The presence of several officials of the
old Bonilla regime in Tegucigalpa is said
TO be the source of a sentiment friendly
to the insurrectionist. There Is also
a feeling of amity toward him in the
province of Choluteca, where in 1908 he
started an unsuccessful revolution.
Minister McCreery stated that officials
of President Datlla's regime in Tuguci-
galpa have not been advised of any up
rising against the republic. 1t is be-
lieved by them that only decisive vic
tory for the revolutionists on the north

NORTON WILL STAY
ON JOB SOME TINE
Presidents Secretary Says
He Will Not Leave Until
After March 4.

The resignation of Charles D. Norton.
secretary to the President. will not take
effect until after March 4, and it may
not take place for six months.
Mr.. Norton. announcement Of whose
resignation was made yesterday, said
today that he would continue on the
job indefinitely, adding that he would
not retire until after the economy
board, of which he is the moving spirit,
completes its work.
AS soon as he leaves the White House
Mr.. Norton will take vacation, he
said, and will then return to work. He
said that he would not be connected
with the Government, but did not say
what business he would go into. He said
that he would not again return to the
services of the Northwestern Insurance
Company; neither would he go with the
Equitab BILE life as the successor to the
late Paul Morton.
As for his successor, Mr.. Norton said
that he had been picked. and would he
ready TO step right in as soon as the
vacancy occurred, hut not one word did
Mr. Norton say as to the identity of the
new secretary.
Long Settled Upon.
lie said that the retirement and the
new IlHll were IidlltlS Niiob Lih Dt'l
decided upon weeks ago. and that the
statement issued yesterday was not Il
result Of impulse or sudden decision.
The reason the statement was issued
yesterday he said was because of the
fact that the appropriations committee
men in Congress had been told in con
filenCe in connection with the proposal
to increase the scCretary'S salary, and
that confidence was spreading very rap
idly. Mr.. Norton said he wanted tC give
out the announcement himself rather
! than allow it to get out from another
source.
There are innumerablc guesses as to
the new secretary. Mr.. Norton him
self added a few today. He said that
the names of Gus J. Karger. Leroy I.
Vernon. John Callan O'Laughlin, Harry
| CriSt, all Washington newspaper cor
respondents, Assistant Secretary HilleS
| of the Treasury, Representatives Bou-
! tell Tawney. DENLY, and Dawson; Mar
| tin Egan who owns a newspaper in
! the Philippines and Is an Intimate
| friend of the President, have been men
toned.
Politics Seen in Move.
OF course there are suggestions of
politics in connection with Mr. Nor
| toms retirement. 1t is said that when
he was transferred from the Treasury
! II was done because the President
! wanted a man to aid him in reorgan-
izing the party council. This, it is
! said. has not been successful. The
letter issued at Beverly restoring the
State patronage to the insurgent Re-
publicans and the mission Of Senator
| Crane, who went West TO urge that
Secretary Ballinger resign, are recalled
and accredited to the new secretary.
Both Of these moves are said by many
party leaders to have been political
| blunders.
| Mr.. Nortons friends, however, con-
! tend that he had nothing to do with
| these political moves other than to ap-
| prove of them when his opinion was
asked by the President.

uict Committee, is prepared to come
into the House with twenty-eight bills
and resolutions. each and every one of
the District.

If the present plans are carried out,
Mr.. Smiths motion that the House con-
slider District business will be voted
down and Representative John w.
Weeks, chairman of the House Com
mittee on POStOffiCes and Post Roads
will be given the right of way with his
postal appropriation bill. There are now
twenty eight bills and resolutions on the
District calendar.

tee has prepared a very instructive list
of the days which have been taken from
the committee. The violation of the
District day rule began May %, when
Chairman Tawney, of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations, succeeded in
displaCing District business for the pur-
pose of having his sundry civil apprO-
priation bill considered. On June 13,
Mr. Tawney again displaced District
business for the consideration of the
deficiency appropriation bill

On May % Chairman Smiths motion
TO set aside District day was objected
TO by Representative Johnson of Ken
lucky, a member of the committee, who
later withdrew his objection, which was
renewed by Champ Clark. On May 81,
objection was made by Representative
Stafford of Wisconsin.
On June . Representative Mann OBJ
jected to a similar motion, and on June
20 Mr.. Mann was joined by Representa-
tive Sherley of Kentucky.
At this session Of Congress the Dis
trict Committee passed the inheritance
