Congress- May Investigate.

Upon the official report received from
the local inspectors Of the United States
steamboat inspection service by George
Uhler, supervising inspector general,
will depend whether an investigation
into the loss Of the steamer Monroe will
be ordered by Congress.
Representative James Manahan Of
Minnesota is prepared to introduce and
press such a resolution, il the report, in
his opinion, warrants such a course.
This disaster has been seized upon by
advocates Of the La Toilette seamen' s
bill to urge the need for the speedy
pa sSage of that measure. I is under
stood, however, that President Wilson
fayors a modification Of the bills more
burdensome provisions, particularly as
applied to vessels on lakes and bays.

DEATH
SUNDAY NIGHT
Of YOUNG GIRL
QUIETLY SLIPPED INTO ETER-
NIFTY BY FUMES OF cHLORo-
FORM TO EASE NERVE IN
ACHING TOOTH.

Mrs. and Mrs. Thomas Whelan left
here over the Frisco at $50 this
morning for Carthage, Mo, where
they took the remains of Miss Nil
dred Mckinney, to her home for in
terment.
The young lady met death here
in a most tragic manner. She was
at the home of Mrs. S. +. Wallace
on Second avenue, northwest, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Whean have rooms.
She was suffering from toothache,
and probably at about the hour of
one o'clock Sunday night she arose
to saturate piece of cotton with
chloroform, to place in the tooth. She
went back to bed with the bottle still
in her hand. The medicine evidently
quieted the nerve and she dropped
off to sleep. The escaping chloroform
from the bottle was sufficient to
make the sleep so sound that She
never awoke
The family knew nothing about the
matter until yesterday morning, when
they discovered her dead. DR.. Hardy
was called, and said she had been
dead for probably six hours.
Miss Mckinney was bright,
cheerful young woman of is years
She was most lovable character
and those who met her since she
came here had Tallen in love with
| her. She was in love with life, anC
her tragic going is a matter of SER
| ious regret to those VINO knew her
and was dreadful thing for hel
sister Mrs. Whelan, and to her par
ents. who live in Carthage.
She was sleeping in room alone
no one heard her if she made any
noise. Her death was not discovered
until her sister entered the room
next morning.
Mr.. Whelan was in car, ready
to start to the oil fields. when Tho
| discovery was made.
