swered. The reply, it is stated, angered
Mann and he struck Carter a blow on
the Shears into play.
The points of the blades were thrust
into Manns side and. it is thought, pene-
trated his lung. Mann was in an appar-
emily dying condition when two men EN-
loyed in the shop carried him across Ohio
avenue to Emergency Hospital. Mann
was SO weak that 1t was impossible for
the surgeons to perform an operation and
death occurred about ninety minutes
after the wound was inflicted
Carter made no effort to get away. He
followed the wounded man to the hos
pital and was anxious to learn the extent
of theh wound he had inflicted, and it was
while he was at the entrance to the hos
pital that Policeman Mansfield arrested
him.

A plea of self-defense was set up by
the prisoner. The trouble. he stated, was
started by Mann and he used the shears
only to defend himself.
Talking to a Star reporter from his
cell at the first precinct station. Carter
stated that he had been employed in the
machine shop for about five months: that
mon IN the shop frequently 'kidded'' him
and had thrown water on him. tied him
and otherwise tantalized him.
This morning, he stated. he was at work
when Mann came along and made a re-
mark to him. His answer. he stated, did
not suit Mann, and the latter dealt him
a blow on the side of his face. The
shears he had in his hand, he stated, he
was using in connection with his work
and he stabbed Mann to protect himself
Mrs. Mann, wife Of the victim of the
encounter, reached the hospital shortly
before noon, and was with her husband
when he died. One of Mann's brothers
also was with him.
A charge of homicide was preferred
against Carter shortly after Mann died,
and John G. Carter. father of the pris-
oner. who Is employed in the east gun
carriage shop at the navy yard, was
summoned to the police station to see his
son.

The public utterances attributed to
DR.. Seaman are regarded at the war
Department as a clear violation OF the
Presidents specific orders to officers OF
the Army, Navy and Marine Corps to
refrain from all comments on the Eu-
ropean war. At the instance Of Secre-
tary Garrison. Surgeon General COR,

department. has called on DR.. Seaman
for an explanation of his alleged con-

That corps is composed of civilian ply
sicians In all parts of the United states
who have agreed to render military serv-
ice to the country in the event OF wal
or other emergency beyond the powers OF
the regular medical establishment OF the
army.
Never on Active Duty.
There are about 1000 Of these reserve
physicians. Like most of the others, Dr.
Seaman never has been called on to per
form any military duty. His status Is
that of a resrve officer on the inactive
list.

Japanese medical corps. During the dis

United States Army Medical Corps during
the Spanish-American war in a way to

the navy, who was present, offered OBJ
lection. A very spirited debate ensued. ir
which DIR. Seaman was reported as saying
to the army and navy medical officers

DR.. Seaman had ideas which were re-
garded as extravagant as to increasing
Medical Corps and inaugurating a system
Of sanitation which would have been a,
