SUICIDE WAS
MAN OF NOTE
Body Washed Ashore at
Westport Identified as that
of Doctor DeBirckley :.
RESIDENT OF ABERDEEN
Former Surgeon Incapacitat-
ed by Wound Became Des-
pondent and Ended Life

The nude body of the man washed
up on the south beach last Wednesday
has been identified as that Of DR.. C. w.
DeBirckley, whose lineage extends to
France, where he was related with the
wealthiest and best families of that
nation, and who served as a surgeon
in the American army in Cuba with
Col. Theodore Roosevelt. A bullet
wound in the arm, incapacitating DIR.
DeBirckley from the practice of sur.
gerry drove him, it is said, to an un-
timely grave.
The mystery surrounding the find
ing Of the body at Westport was
solved finally when Undertaken Ken
ny opened the right arm of the re-
composed corpse at the Pinnick &
Kenny morgue in this city and found
the marks on the bone of the old
bullet wound. Mrs. DeBirckley earlier
had called at the morgue and identi.
fled the body.
DR.. and Mrs. DeBirokley came to
Aberdeen in 1912. He came as lodge
solicitor and met with much success
Dependency because he was unable
to 60 back to the profession he spent
his life in acquiring caused the doctor
to drink heavily, SO relatives informed
the authorities, and finally he disap-
peared four months ago. The body
when washed ashore had only an un-
dershirt on 1t, and Coroner Hunter
gave it as his opinion the remains had
been in water at least two months
The widow, Mrs. Lena DeBirckley, of
1907 Morgan street, this city, visited
the morgue and stated she felt certain
the body was that of her husband, and
his most intimate male friend, who
had been a room mate, identified the
doctor positively.
DR.. Buckley belonged to a French
society which, it is thought, will order
the remains shipped to France for
burial. The French consul has been
wired and the body is held awaiting
his instructions.
DR.. DeBirckley's father was among
those who defended Paris during the
Franco-Prussian war. DR.. DeBirckley
enlisted in 1908 as surgeon in the
United States army and served until
disabled, when he was given a medical
survey and honorably discharged from
the service.
Dr. DeBirckley was about so years
of age. For many years he was a prom;
inent surgeon and physician in st.
Louis. and Tampa, Fla. His profess
sional acquaintance was large and he
| was known as an expert surgeon be-
fore incapacitated.

comedy. but lost it on his way home

Jim Burnett wasn't bad sort Of

Molly, she was the daughter Of old
Abe Deering, the st0ck-raiser. who
left her a fortune In cattle. Acacia
was just beginning to get on the map
in them days. It was little frontier
settlement, and there was q pretty
rough set OF gamblers and miners and
cattle rustiers who made 1t their head
quarters.
Jim Burnett wasn't bad fellow. as
l was saying, but he was wild. He
punched cattle for Abe Deering, and
most of his money went into the gam
bling bells. But that was before he
met Molly, who'd just come back from
school in the East. Jim and Molly
was crazy about each other the minute
they saw each other, and 1t wasn't
long before they we're engaged. Abe
didn't like Molly to marry cattle
puncher, but he couldn't stand against
Molly. | guess nobody could, then or
now.
well, they we're to be married In q
months time, and then Jim fell In
with some of his old pals and they
urged him to celebrate with them In
Acacia for the last time. Jim was a.
weak as water and he didn't need too
much persuading. He rode into Acacia
with seven hundred dollars, and about
midnight that same seven hundred
was reposing in Ike Whites pocket
and Jim was staring down at the rot
tenest poker hand he'd ever drawn.
Suddenly something made him lean
over the table and look down where
Ike had been setting. There, wedged
tight under the table top, was an ace
and two kings of spades and dia-
monds, and there was two aces and
three kings upon the table, the last
having been likes winning hand.
Ike got wise to the situation about
the same time as Jim, and both drew.
Jim got a bullet through the should
ers, and Ike fell dead with ball In
the brain. Then Jim was staring
down at the dead man In terror and
not understanding what 1t was all
about.
THE boys bound up Jims wound
and hustled him on his horse. II you

SOLDIERS IN ACTION SHOWN.
United states Army Life to He
Displayed on Screen.

The first military motion pictures thus
far produced in the world which show
real soldiers in various phases of maneu-
vers and which have been censored care
fully by army experts, will be shown at
the Belasco Theater Friday afternoon at
o'clock. The eight reels will be ex-
planned by Chaplain Dickson. OF the United
States army. who is the producer of the
films. This work, which he originated
has passed the experimental stage. The
War Department believes this to be a
most excellent way of showing the army
as it actually is.
There is no posing In these pictures.
The public will see the men who will be
on the firing line whenever our nation is
called to arms. There are no sickening
love plots and cheap heroes.
Many scenes will be shown which are
seldom witnessed by many OF the officers
Of our widely distributed service. Infan-
try advances to the attack, cavalry ma
neuvers. and artillery goes into action in
a most realistic manner.
The particular charm possessed by these
films is that they are true and authentic.
A man will learn more in two hours of
the exhibition than he could otherwise in
months of travel
Between 5000 and 1000 persons saw
these pictures recently in New York City.
and the leading papers gave columns to
their notice. Owing to the limited time
Chaplain Dickson will give but one exhi-
bition in Washington. This will be under
the auspices of the War Department.
Twenty-Five cents is charged for re-
served seats, which is intended to cover
necessary expenses. The balance will be
turned over to the women of the Army
Relief Association for charitable pur-
poses.

Liner LOSES ALL LIFEBOATS

New Orleans, La, Jan. .s-Frederick
W. Vanderbilt, the Duke and Duchess
OF Manchester and Lord Arthur George
Keith-Falconer owe their lives to one
Of the most heroic rescues ever achieved
at sea. They were rescued from Van
derbilts sea-going yacht Warrior, only
after one assisting steamship, the Fruit
era, had lost every one Of her life
boats and after another ship had been
called forty miles to do the work that
the Fruitera could not do.
This is how the Vanderbilt party was
rescued. as the story Is pieced together
from many wireless messages and parts
Of messages:
The Warrior found herself cast on the
great rock of Aquatic, on the Colombian
coast. during a heavy gale. She sent out
the s. o. s. signal and the Fruitera was
the first to respond.
Capt. Henschae. of the Fruitera. risked
his ship as he ran close to the distressed
Warrior. At every moment there was
danger lest the Fruitera herself should
go on the rocks.
Capt Henschae ordered the lifeboats
lowered. The first boat that went over
the side was crushed against the steel
side of the ship by the heavy sea. The
next boat capsized the moment 1t struck
the water. and its crew was rescued only
with great difficulty. Every boat on the
Fruitera was capsized or broken. Van
derbilt and his guests. roped to the rails
OF the Warrior. watched the work Of the
rescuers.
The Fruitera, it soon became apparent.
could do nothing. But the wireless oper-
ator of the Fruitera was sending calls to
the AImirante, a sister ship forty miles
away, and the Almirante altered its
course and came Meanwhile the sea had
subsided somewhat, and when Capt.
Dovan, OF the Almirante lowered boats
they were able TO ride the water. The
passengers from the Warrior were taken
of and the crew was asked to follow.
They refused.
The Vanderbilt party will remain
aboard the Almirante until she reaches
New York. where she Is due February ).
She makes only a brief stop at Colon.
