Max Weyl, artist, who has resided in
Washington for more than half a cen
fury. is seventy-five years old today.
Mr.. Weyl is unusually active, physically
and mentally, and is found at his studio
daily. He feels. he says, that he still
is improving in his work. and last sum-
mer while on his vacation at Gloucester,
Mass, he painted several scenes which
will be exhibited at the COrcOran Art
Gallery this winter. So wrapped UP is
Mr. Weyl in his work that to retire is
the thought farthest from his mind. Il
feel younger now than l did five years
ago." Mr.. Weyl says.
Born in Germany.
In early childhood Mr.. Weyl developed
a love for painting. but he was about
thirty years old before he was able to
give all of his time to it. He was born
in 1887, in Mullen am Neckar, Wurttem-
burg. and when fourteen years old, hav-
ing finished the required schooling, he
became an apprentice of a matchmaker
in neighboring town. He was a sue
ce3ful workman, but all of the time his
mind dwelt on more poetic things than
clocks.
In 1853 he came to this country with
his family, first living in Pennsylvania.
At the outbreak of the civil war he came
to Washington. where he has lived ever
since. He opened a jewelry store and
became acquainted with an artist who
persuaded him to paint. For long time
he painted during his spare hours.
Pictures Excite Admiration.
Some time after he placed one of his
paintings in the window of his store and
it was admired by many of his customers,
among them the late S. II. Kaufman,
who at that time was president of the
board of trustees of the CorcOran Art
Gallery. The painting, though amateur
ish, impressed Mr.. Kaufman, who knew
that the author of 1t had the natural
artists instinct.
Mr. Weyl soon devoted all of his time
to art and in 1850 he went to Europe to
study, spending most of his time in
Munich, Venice. Paris and Vienna. He
has painted many scenes of Rock Creek
Park Mr.. Weyl will spend the day
quietly at home with his family at 1910

Room in H Street House.

Man Dies This Mornlna.

Joseph Bratin, who was found in a
serious condition at his room on
johnson street last evening, died to-
day at nine o'clock. The body was
taken in charge by the undertaken af-
ter being viewed by a hastily sum-
moned coroner's jury.
When the room was visited this
morning by Gate City reporter the
dead man was laid out on one of the
two beds which, with small stove,
constituted the furniture, and about
five or six of the negro residents of
the neighhorhood were sitting around
talking and joking. The room was
filthy in the extreme, evidently not
having been cleaned since the three
men, who have occupied 1t for the
past year, moved into 1t. A big pile of
rubbish and stove wood occupied one
corner of the room and few light
quilts were all the bed clothes that
were to be seen.
The house is known as the "old
potato barn. occupied downstairs by
several families of negroes and up
stairs by negroes and foreigners. The
two men who roomed with the dead
man were found after q long search in
basement about block from the
house, playing cards and drinking
beer.

Found in Unconscious
Condition.
No CLUE TO ROBBERS
Rratin Was Ready to Send to
the Old Country for His
wife and Children When
Killed.

one Of the most mysterious cases
r;tb which the local police have had
y contend was brought to light yester-
day afternoon when Joseph Brain,
pouuanian living in the rear of S22
Iohnson street, was found lying on the
,,oor of his room with his left side
completely paralyzed and his pockets
turned inside out.
t;e has been living with another
Roumanian at the above address eat
Ing and sleeping in the same room
and working at the cereal works. Yes
terday he converted all his belongings
into cash with the exception of TWEEN
ty.seyen dollars, which was in the
form of a pay check from the cereal
works. and which amounted in all to
500 for the purpose of sending 1t to
the old country to get his wife and
children here His partner went TO
work as usual and upon returning
home in the evening Bratin was dis
covered lying on the floor wringing
wet with perspiration and feebly try
ing to pull himself across the room to
his bed
His partner, frightened half out OF
i his wits, ran down stairs screaming
for help. DR.. Holmes was summoned
and when he arrived after a careful
examination of the man was unable to
find any marks of violence and gave
his opinion that the man had been
doped
As the man cannot talk or move
himself 1t will be a hard matter for
the police to get anything on the case.

the pockets but the room had not been

lice station this morning and given a

when he was left in the room and was
apparently in perfect health. His
story that he had worked all day was
corroborated by the men in charge at
the cereal works. Men who know the
man saw that the victim Of the rob
berry does not drink at all.
Coroner Korschgen went to the
house this morning and found it in a
filthy condition and ordered the man
sent to the hospital. 1t is said that
the stolen money represented every
thing that he had.
The police are working on the case
but say that it is very improbable that
anything will ever be known of the

No Marks on Body.

No marks of any kind were found on
the body when examined by the cor
oner. The men who roomed with
Bratin We're taken to the police sta
ton and given another examination by
the officers but could give no further
details than were given by them last
night. A relative of the dead man
who has been working near Hannibal,
will be here this afternoon. The
other men will be held at the station
until the chief is positive that they
had no connection with the death of
Bratin. They are Pete Train and
Andrew Istratic, both employees of the
cereal works. All of the men, includ-
ing Bratin, came to this country from
Roumania six years ago. When ask
ed by the officers if there had ever
been any trouble between them, they
were emphatic in their protestations
that all had been peace and quiet In
their abode.
The woman who lives in the room
below the one occupied by the men
says that she heard a noise like a per
son falling yesterday morning about
nine o'clock but thought nothing OF ii
until afternoon when Train came run
ming down stairs yelling for help
Train had quit work at twelve o'clock
when the cereal works stopped work
and came home for his dinner and
after discovering his partner in a bad
way, returned to the factory and
brought Istratic to the house. They
then decided to get doctor.
DR.. Holmes, who was called to at
tend the man, said today that in his
opinion the man had been drugged
An extra heavy dose of knockout
drops had evidently been administer
ed with the object of robbery. There
is no question, according to DR.
Holmes, but that the man was foullS

Government to Build Permanent

The United States is going to
build residence here for its engineer

That it will be fine residence goes
without saying. Its location has no
superior in the city as a residence
site. aside from the fact that it over
looks the big dam, the new large lock
and immense dry dock.
The further fact that Major Meigs
is the engineer in charge will make
