CALL OF DEATH, SUDDEN
Mrs. Ella M. Post, at the Thea.
ter Last Night, Found Life
less This Morning.

Mrs. Ella Merriweather Post divorced
wife of c. w. Post Of Battle Creek.
Mich. was found dead in bed this
morning at the home of Mrs. Joseph A.
Breckons, in the Wagar apartments.
1914 G street northwest. After making
an investigation Coroner hewitt issued
a certificate of death from Bright's
disease.
Mrs. Post, whose home was in New
York, came to Washington last Friday
with the intention of staying with Mrs.
Breckons during the absence Of her hus-
band from the city. Mrs Post and
Mrs Breckons had been close friends
for many years.
Last night Mrs. Breckons and her guest
attended the theater. Mrs. Post appeared
to be in the best of health. Upon their
return they prepared light midnight
supper and sat at the dining room table
conversing until nearly ] O'Clock this
morning when they retired
Shortly after 8 o'clock this morning
Mrs. Breckons called Mrs. Post and, re-
ceiving no response entered her room.
Mrs Post appeared to be sleeping and
it was not until Mrs. Breckons had tried
to rouse her that she realized her guest
was dead A physician summoned in the
apartment said that life had been ex-
tinct for some time.
A married daughter, Mrs. f. B. Close,
who resides at Greenwich, Conn.,, Mrs
Posts only close relative. has been sum-
moned to this city. Mrs. Close is eX-
pected here tomorrow morning to attend
to the funeral arrangements.
Mrs Post was a native of Illinois. Mr..
and Mrs Post had been divorced about
eight years.

Wagaman. He has just completed what

Wagaman. He has just completed what
the papers around here term a whirl-
wind tour. He was clever enough to
come into this immediate neighbOrhoOd
at the psychological moment. 1t was a
meeting of merchants who wanted to dis
cuss the parcels post legislation, in which
David J. Lewis took a prominent part.
II there is anything Lewis has not dis
covered about the parcels post it must
be small item.
Lewis great idea is to beat the express
companies, which he claims are robbing
the farmer by their high rates, and to es-
tablish a federal post Office parcels ex-
press, which will carry goods at a trifling
cost. Fine said the farmers. They count
ed on getting all sorts of stuff from the
cities at little cost On the other hand
some of the merchants believed that it
would put them in competition with the
city department stores, and wanted to
have an explanation. Hence the meeting.
They all decided that it would be to the
ultimate benefit of the entire rural popu-
lation, with the exception Of one inf1u-
entail storekeeper. who is out against it
and Lewis, too. On top of this agitation
Lewis came and delivered a stirring
speech on the benefit of the parcels post
and made a lot of friends. And yet, as the
editor of a country paper told me today:
'These farmers are talking lot, and
they say they are going to vote one way.
yet when the time comes there Is not a
living human being but themselves who
knows what they intend to do. E. G.

REPRIMAND INADEQUATE.
Gen. Bell Disapproves Sentence of
Lieut.. James A. McGrath.

Second Lieut.. James a. McGrath, Sth
Infantry. recently was convicted by court
martial convened at Manila, P. l.. of the
charge of conduct to the prejudice of
good order and military discipline and
sentenced to be reprimanded by the re-
viewing authority.
Maj. Gen ]. Franklin Bell, command
ing the Philippines Division. disapproved
the sentence as entirely inadequate" In
his review Gen. Bell stated that Lieut..
McGrath had been adjudged guilty while
a patient in the division hospital ''of will
fully absenting himself without author
ity. indulging while absent in intoXicat-
ing liquor and thereby interfering with
his physical welfare and recovery"
THAT Lieut.. McGrath should be guilty
of this offense." said Gen. Bell, "shows
that the reprimand resulting from a pre-
vious conviction by general court-mar-
tial for a similar offense, only about a
year ago, has had little or no effect. and
demonstrates that he is SO lacking in ca
pacity to profit by admonition that a
second reprimand for practically the same
offense would be entirely fruitless.''

notice will be served upon the owners
that they must pare down the building or
the city will do it for them.
The owners declare that no alterations
will be made until after some very active
litigation. Their answer to the formal
notice will be an injunction In which
street locations. sidewalk locations. Off
cial surveys. ordinances and laws begin
ming around 1877 and running down to

The action to be taken against the Sing

undertaken in the campaign Of the city to
recover its sidewalks. If the city should
win and compel the company to move its
building back sheer foot and three
inches, the cost of the job will run into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
