ACTOR, NOT SUCCESSFUL
AS WIFE, is SUICIDE
Hangs Self on Ship When Forced
to Part From His
Spouse.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Charles Ster-
ling, a vaudeville performer, hanged him
self in the hospital of the steamship
Campania Saturday. The liner arrived
Sunday.
The actor had boarded the ship at
Liverpool after fearful parting with his
wife. He was thirty-four years old and
she several years his junior.
At one time Sterling was very success
full as a vaudeville acrobat. He married
another performer, who was known as
Lillian, the Beauty" She performed
tricks on her bicycle, and her star was in
the ascendency.
In little while it was found impos-
sible for the pair to keep together. The
vicissitudes of their lives sent the man
in one direction and the woman in an
other.
The woman succeeded; the man. with a
white, long-haired dog that loved him so
did not. Finally he decided to come to
America, and the parting at Liverpool
was the result.
Tuesday last he became so Respondent
that the ships surgeon sent him to the
hospital The greatest care was given &c
him. but Saturday morning he found q
pretext to go to an ante-room and tying
a sheet about pipe in the ceiling made q
moose at the other end and hanged him.
self The body was buried at sea late
that day.

WANTS THE LIMIT RAISED
Lieut.. Col. Langfitt Cannot
Rent Suitable Offices for
Amount Allowed.

Washington's commercial advancement
as reflected in increasing rates of rentals,
. has made necessary an amendment to the
rivers and harbors bill taking off the
limit Of rental, which has been in effect
(. for fifteen years. to be paid for Offices for
the army engineer in charge of river and
harbOr improvements in the District of
Columbia.
I. As result of an appeal from Lieut..
Col W. {. Langfitt. Corps of Engineers,
who is in charge of the local rivers and
harbor work, Senator Nelson, chairman
of the Senate committee on commerce,
. has proposed an amendment to the
rivers and harbors bill giving the local
engineer authority, with the approval of
the chief of engineers, to rent suitable Of
fees and repeating a clause of a law Of
1896 specifying that the rental shall not
be more than $50 a month.
In advocating the repeal of the limita-
ton. Lieut.. Col. Langfitt says in a state
ment to Chairman Nelson:
The increase N rents in the city of
Washington has rendered it impossible to
secure convenient quarters at the above
price $50 per month";. The present quar-
tiers are too small, records. maps, etc,
ttelng necessarily scattered over the build
ing from garnet to cellar, drafting rooms
are too small and part of the work has
TO be done outside the building, which is
a very unsa tIsfactory arrangement. The
work is increasing and more room is
needed, with better arrangement, in order
that better supervision may be had. With
clerks, craftsmen. etc, scattered over
three floors. it IS impossible 10 keep con-
.ven.ent and proper supervision
If the Limitation in the amount of rental
is removed, Col. Langfitt also points out,
the office will be put on the same basis
as other offices engaged in public work.
And regarding the Nelson amendment, he
says:

limitations which l find cannot be made
without detriment 10 the service

Subjects of Discussion.

only such subjects shall be considered
by the organization as are Of national
Importance, and action in reference to

ESCAPES FROM HOSPITAL,
CLAD ONLY IN HER ROBE
Anacostia Police Searching Woods
for Trace Of Mary Moore,
Mysterious Patient.

Attired only in her sleeping robe and
blanket, Mary Moore, thirty-one years
Old, about whose identity the authorities
know little, is reported to have been seen
making her way through the snow furry
this morning on the Livingstone road
near the District line. She escaped last
night from the Government Hospital for
the Insane
An ali-night search by the police of
Anacostia proved fruitless and this morn
ing Capt. Anderson took charge of the
search. Realizing the woman probably
was out in the rain and snow through
out the night and that she must have suf
fered from exposure, Capt. Anderson d.
rected the members of the mounted
squad to make a careful search of the
woods for the fugitive patient.
Last night about S:45 o'clock the wom-
an asked permission to go to the bath
room. There was nothing to suggest that
she would try to leave the institution. al
| though she had left there several times
during the twenty-one months she has
been an inmate. She was permitted to
go without an attendant accompanying
her.
1t was soon learned by the attendants
in 20" building, the structure in which
noisy female patients are confined, that
Mary Moore was missing.

Duties of Directors.

The duties of the board Of directors
shall be (D to make effective the &C.
ton taken by the delegates at annual
meetings; (b) to act, with the approval
of the advisory committee. upon matters
which may arise between annual meet
ings; (c) to direct the operation Of the
central Office in Washington; Id to pro-
vide for the preparation Of a program for
the annual meeting; (e) to organize an
executive committee, to which it may
delegate such of it's duties as it sees fit;
Q) to appoint such committees as in the
opinion of the directors are necessary to
accomplish the purposes of the organiza-
ton, and -(g) to execute such other du-
ties as may be delegated to the directors
at the annual meeting.
THE method of dealing with important
national problems only by discussion at
an annual meeting has afforded insult
ticient opportunity for consideration and
resulted sometimes in unwarranted action
A plan should be devised by the board
Of directors which will permit the pre-
liminary consideration and study OF such
problems by every organization which is
a member of the national body and
which will also permit any organization
to bring forward any question of national
importance and secure consideration
