EDWIN A. ABBEY
DIES IN LONDON
Famous Painter Left Amer
lea to Live in England.

London, Aug. 1.-Edwin A. Abbey. the
famous American painter, died today af-
ter long illness.
Abbey was one of the foremost artists
of his time, his fame being equally great
on both sides of the Atlantic. Although
= resident of England for thirty-five
years. he was an American by birth,
and received his early art training in
the schools of his native country. His
primacy in the English art world was
evidenced by his selection in 1901 to paint
the national picture to commemorate the
coronation Of Edward VII. an honor all
the more pronounced when given to a
painter not born a British subject.
He was born in Philadelphia. April I,
1852. and studied in the Philadelphia
Academy of Designs with the intention
of becoming an illustrator. He went to
New York about 1870 to illustrate the
Harper publications. He was the first
artist in black and white to draw from
the living model, and his work soon at
tracted widespread attention.
Mr.. Abbey was made a member Of the
Royal Institute in 1883 and the Aehe-
naeum Club and the Royal Academy in
1896. He is best known in this country
for his illustrations of Goldsmith and
Shakespeare and his panels of the Holy
Grail in the Boston public library.

ticuIar undertaken, the body could not
be removed from Marienbad.
The price charged for the casket Mr..
Felsenthal characterized as outrageous.
He said that seven different officials
called upon him within the space of an
hour or so after his daughters death,
all of whom had something to charge
for. Altogether, Mr.. Felsenthal said.
it had cost him $500 to have his
daughters body prepared for shipment.
Another passenger on the Kaiser
wilhelm brought a similar story of ex-
cessive embalming charges in Marien-
bad. This was Mrs. Caroline Seiden-
bach, wife of a Philadelphia business
man. Mrs. Seidenbach's husband died
suddenly on the street while walking
with his wife a week ago last Satur-
day at Marienbad.
Again the charges for embalming
were $500, a Jewish organization re-
fused to allow the body to be taken
away until after $500 was paid. Mrs.
Seidenbach said. Altogether. she said,
1t cost her s1.60o before Mr.. Seiden-
bach's body was put on shipboard.

New York. Aug. ii. l. Felsenthal'
a wholesale jeweler of Chicago, was one
of the passengers aboard the Kaiser VIII

Bremen. He was accompanied by his
wife and son, Merrill, and brought back
the body of his daughter Florence, who
died at Marienbad on July 20.
Mr.. Felsenthal was Indignant over the
charges he was forced to pay to have
his daughters body prepared for ship

bills of the nine physicians, which were
large enough. considering the services
which they had rendered, a man was
ushered in who told Mr.. Felsenthal that
It would cost $500 TO embalm the body,

to do the work, and that without the

ATWOOD CIRCLES
OYER BALTIMORE
Free Exhibition Given by
Youthful Aviator.
-E, JR., AND A FRIEND
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Baltimore, Md, Aug, 1.-For the sec
ond time within a year residents of
Baltimore witnessed an aeroplane flight
over the city, when Harry n. Atwood,
the young aviator who won note by his
Boston to Washington flight a few weeks
ago. made one of the most spectacular
trips in the history of aviation in his
biplane late this afternoon.
Atwood. who was in the city for ex-
hibition purposes, made the flight on the
impulse of a moment and caused great
surprise when he appeared in the sky.
He circled the city at a height of 1000
feet, passing over the tall skyscrapers.
He arose from Prospect Park, where his
hangar is located, and after remaining
in the air for more than forty minutes.
returned to his starting point, where a
safe landing was made.
Atwood's flight was entirely compli-
mentary on his part. as he received NJ
remuneration for his efforts The only
other flight in the history of the city was
that of Hubert Latham, who circled
above the skyscrapers during the avi-
alton meet at Halethorp. near this city.

EIGHT ARE DEAD
IN ASYLUM FIRE
Firemen Rescue ManiacS
from Flames in Hospital.

Hamilton, Ontario, Aug. Light lives
were lost and many persons were in
jured in q fire which partly destroyed
one of the main buildings of the insane
asylum on the side of the mountain
southwest of the city early to-day.
There were 800 patients in this build
ing when the fire was discovered. and
it was only a well-trained fire-fighting
corps and splendid GOODNESS and bravery
among the nurses and attendants under
Dr. English that averted a more fright
full loss of life.
AS the firemen worked their way into
the burned section eight bodies were
found Three were in the hallway on
the top floor and one helpless paralytic
was burned to death in his cell. -Four
more corpses were found huddled to-
gether in a small room.
The firemen, fighting both flames and
the maniacs, were in constant peril. and
frequently were seen perched on win
dow sills through which the smoke was
pouring trying TO drag forth strug-
Cling man.
Tillerman Tom Fitzgerald. of the
electric truck, is given credit for the
rescue of five men. His sixth broke. from
his grasp at window and fled back
into the flames, where he perished.
The fire is believed to have been caused
by a short circuit on an electric wire in
the storeroom on the top floor.

Identity Youth and Binford
Girl as LOdgers.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 1.-Marie Haines
and Mabel Shafer, two women of Nor
folks segregated district, visited the
Henrico County Jail this afternoon in
company with Chief Kiser. of Norfolk.
and Detective Scherr. of this city. and
identified Henry Clay Beattie. tr.. the
alleged wife murderer. and Beulah Bin
ford as the couple who spent several
weeks in their house in Norfolk during
the early spring.
Chief Kiser, however. was deeply dis
appointed when the women failed to
corroborate to Richmond detectives the
statement they made to him in Norfolk
yesterday, when they told the Norfolk
officers that they had overheard Henry
Beattie say to Beulah Binford, when re-
ferring to his wife, Leave that to me
I'll get rid of her.
Because of charges Of alleged careless.
ness and the attempt of city officials
to have the prisoners removed to a jail
where they will not be tampered with
as now charged. the officials at the Hen
rico County Jail have drawn the lines
tighter than ever, and even city detec-
tiyes are forbidden interviewing the
prisoners except after making engage

This was done this morning and caused

Gently found guilty for the second time
on the charge of embezzlement, had a
conference yesterday with Justice
Wright, and said that the missing books
of the defunct association would not be

The failure on the part of Miller to
return the books means that he will not
obtain reduction of the sentence of twen-

by Justice Wright last spring. The court
at that time offered to reduce the pun
ishment if the missing records were pro-
duced.
Miller is seeking a third trial. and he

1t is the belief of Dr. George H.
Schwinn, in charge of the Government
Hospital for the Insane in the absence Of
Superintendent White, that the employees
of the institution are fully able to cope
with conditions in case of a fire such as
swept through the asylum at Hamilton,
Ontrio, yesterday, leaving in its wake
a death toll of eight lives
Il think there is no great danger OF
such a catastrophe at st. Elizabeth's,"
said DR.. Schwinn last night. ''Of course
there is the possibility of a fire. although
every precaution is taken against it, but
I am certain that the inmates could be
managed and rescued without loss of
life in case a blaze should start in the
buildings.
Fire Drill Each Week.
I'VE have fire drill each week. and
the patients are taught what to do in
case of fire. On one day each week the
fire gong is sounded and number of
NANTES, who are previously selected,
rush out onto the grounds. We have a
fire engine at the asylum, and the men
take it out and stretch the hose as
rapidly as though the building was
ablaze. A different corps of men is Sc
lected for this engine drill each week, so
as to give all of them an opportunity
to familiarize themselves with the re-
Quirements in case of a conflagraton.
Besides our usual water supply, we
have access to the new water mains
running from the city out TO Congress
Heights, so that the question of water
would give US no trouble. The most Sc
rious problem we would have to face
would be the management of the dah-
gerous class of patients, but we have a
large force of doctors, nurses. attend
ants, and guards, who undoubtedly would
be able to handle them. We have an eX-
ira force of attendants always around
the institution for use in case of emer-
gencies, and they would come to the aid
OF the regular force as soon as an alarm
was sounded We have every means of
fire prevention and protection"

WITHDRAW SHAFTS PENSION.
Further Payments Barred by Rev
oIutionary Expedition.


Teheran, Aug. 1.-The Russian and
British legations to-day gave out noti-
fication to the effect that the former
Shah, Mohammed Ali Mira, who re-
Gently returned to Persia and Is making
attempts to regain his lost throne, is no
longer entitled to a pension. The former
Shah received this pension as long as he
remained out Of Persia and kept the
peace.
The legations also stated that the Rus
sian and British governments cannot IN
tervene in the activities Of Mohammed
Ali. as he is now in Persian territory.
When he first made his appearance the
Persian government protested to Russia
for allowing him to escape confinement,
but both governments refused to inter-
fere with Persia's internal affairs.
The Persian authorities have placed
price on the heads of the brothers of the
former Shah, who are aiding him In his
revolution. A few days ago a large
amount of money was offered for the
capture of Mohammed Ali.
