MILLER DID GOOD SERVICE
Committee Who Has Resigned, Proved Value to Legion.

The recently announced retirement of Thomas w. Miller of Delaware. as chairman of the National legislative committee of the American Legion, gives an opportunity of recounting the efforts by which one individual has done much to make the Legion what it is today.
 Mir. Miller served as chairman of the committee for full year. It was under his direction that such generous results were obtained as the passage of the Sweet and Darrow bills for bet terment of the condition of the dis abled ex-service men, and such marked progress was made in placing so thor oughly before congress the claims of all ex-service men for just compensa tion. All during last summer and autumn Mir. Miller handled alone all Legion legislative matters at Washing

 He dived into the closet to seize the lounglng robe. which he slipped on as he hurried to the door. He slid back the bolt. Instantly the door was thrust in against him.

 He may have difficulty in proving that, even with the help of Doctor Kirkland. If 1t all comes out"
 How do you mean?- If 1t all comes out"
 Bemm moved closer to the quivering girl and lowered his voice: Tt all depends on me, Amy. I can keep quiet about facts that would offset Doctor Kirkland's testimony. Without those facts. Will need only return the bonds, or the money he obtained from their disposal. The doctor will make afii- davit to the bank that he took them while irresponsible; and the matter will be hushed up without any pub licity."

 "Bargain?" he muttered.

 She looked at him. pale but clear eyed and very calm, and replied delib- erateIy: "I do not believe It."

 "I do not believe it," she repeated.

 "Er-to be sure, if Doctor Kirkland wishes to play" said Bemm. and he rose with alacrity.
 Doctor Kirkland stopped in the door. way and stood waiting. His wife had gathered up the cards and was quietly shuffling them. Amy. who had drawn aside closely followed by Bemm. looked at Clinton and Ellen with sudden change from merriment to grave dc light.

YOUNG MAN GAME
TO HIS DEATH BY
HIS OWN HAND
At MIAMI

That William FRED Cnufcn Jr., 10.
of Marshall, Mich, whose body was
found late last night on the tracks OF
the Florida East Coast railroad, came
to his death by an act Of his own was
the verdict of the coroner's jury at
an inquest conducted this morning
by County Judge W. F. Blanton
Young Church had been staying as u
guest at the Hotel Halcyon with his
mother. Mrs William Church. and
an aunt, Mrs. Radcliffe, also of Mar
shall
The body of the young man was
found by the crew of train No. 80 at
point between First and Woods
streets, opposite the Biscayne Nov
city Works with the head completely
severed and the upper part Of the
body badly crushed.
Dependency over i'll health and
nervous condition which is said to
have made it impossible for him to
sleep are believed to have been re-
sponsible for the young mans act, al
though the mother inclines to the
theory that he wandered onto the
railroad track while in an abstract
condition of mind and stumbled over
the rail in front of an approaching
engine. The crew of No. 80 believed
that the young man was run over
by switch engine which passed that
point shortly before their train.
Testimony of the mother and Mrs
Radcliffe, which was taken at the in
quest, developed the fact that Mrs.
Church was playing cards with a
party OF friends in the lobby of the
Halcyon last night when her son ex--
cused himself and said he would go
up to his room. At 10 o'clock the
mother called her son up over the
house telephone and was told that he
had retired for the night. An hour
later however when the mother
went to her sons room she found the
door locked. A hotel passkey was
procured and on opening it, it was
discovered there was no one in the
room and that the bed had not been
occupied.
Worried over the absence Of her
SON. Mrs. Church notified the police
station and search was made Of
the various morguee. In the mean
time. report came to the police
station at 1880 that the body of an
unidentified young man, dressed in
a dark brown suit, white shoes and
Panama hat, had been found on the
railroad tracks. In the clothes was a
Key OF the Hotel Halcyon. Inquiries
developed that the body was that Of
the missing young man.
The mother told of her sons III
health, which necessitated taking him
out OF school in the north. She
mad brought him here in the hopes
that he would improve and for time
he had attended the Lake Placid
school at Cocoanut Grove. On the
advice OF the attending physician he
was taken out Of the school and had
been staying with his mother at the
hotel.
