"Mr. Diggins and myself" said

Police Say charwoman Met
Natural Death-Mother in
Hospital From Shock.

When Policeman Emil Dasch, of
the Ninth precinct, broke down the
door at 80 Maryland avenue
northeast today and went to the
second floor he found Miss Lizzie
Goetz, forty-five years old, lying
dead across the bed and Mrs. Jo-
hanna Louise Bean, lightweight
years old, the dead woman's
mother, lying PROSTATE on the
floor.
The police are convinced that
there was no evidence Of foul play.
The dead woman was subject to
fits Of apoplexy and it is presumed
by the authorities that she died
while stricken with a fit.
Tried To Summon Aid.
Seeing her daughter struggling
in the agonies of an attack the
aged mother crawled to a front
window and. after smashing pane,
waved a piece Of clothing out the
window in the hope that some
neighbor would be attracted. None
came. She collapsed and remained
In a state of stupor until Police,
man Dasch found her today. Her
statements were inchoherent. but
she gave enough information TO
the police to convince them that
her only living child had died from
natu. al causes.
Captain Stoll, Lieutenant Rurlin-
gene and Sergeant Lohman in
vestigated the case and decided to
remove the aged woman to Provi-
dcnce Hospital
The Rev. P. ]. O'Connell. pastor
Of st. Josephs Church, made
arrangements for the woman to be
admitted to the hospital. The
clergyman said that Mrs. Bean was
q woman Of education and lived at
the best hotels in New York when
she visited there in her palmy days.
She is a descendent OF one Of the
best Maryland families.
Miss Goetz was at one time q
court stenographer and later ac.
cepted the humble position of char
woman at the Congressional library.
She was a child Of a previous mar
riage.
Neiphbors observed that the milk
and bread which was delivered to
the home had remained on the steps
ail day yesterday and this morning
and notified the policeman on the
beat. They had known that the
younger woman was subject to fits
and they feared for the safety Of
the occupants of the house.
The mother is in a serious con-
dition and 1t is feared that she
will not survive. So serious was
her condition this morning that she
did not know that her only surviv-
ing child was lying dead almost
within reach.

VIII President Harding appoint
new member OF the District Rent
Commission as soon as Congress
convenes, next week?
This question is agitating a large
number of Senators and Congrnss-
men who have waited for a re-
organization of the rent commission
ever since the extension act was
passed on May 22, last.
The long delay Of the White Hous"
in carrying out the provisions OF tn"
new law has been more or less
puzzling 70 these Senators.
1t has been commonly understood
that President Harding felt that the
present commission Of three mem
bers could function temporarily and
that he was desirous of putting off
as long as possible the consideration
of the hundreds Of names that have
been placed before him for the two
new appointments.
The President also felt that the
local rent situation might adjust it.

by render unnecessary the enlarge.
ment of the commission as provided
by law.
However. President Harding has
given definite assurance to Senator
Ball, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict committee, and others, that he
will appoint the new rent commits
sion of five members at an early
date.
1t was understood at one time that
he would make recess appointments
during October. This plan. however,
fell through.
There has been no word from the
White House that the President in
tends to send his nominations for
the commission to the Senate next
week. 1t is probable, however, that
Senators interested in the matter Will
try to obtain some hint or statement
of his present views, so they can be
guided accordingly.
There is a strong feeling in Con-
gress that the present commission 10
