MEDICAL EXPERT
SHOOTS HIMSELF
Capt. c. 0. StimmeI in Seri.
Gus Condition After Firing
Bullet Into Head.

Capt Clarence O. Stimmel Of the
Army Medical Administrative Corps
and residing at 1916 jefferson street
northwest. il III serious condition
at Emergency Hospital today with 4
bullet wound in his head, inflicted by
himself this morning in the base
ment of his home, according to the
police. Emergency Hospital officials
said the captain shot himself in the
back Of the head. the bullet emerging
from the side. They predicted. how
ever, that he would recover. as he
has been resting comfortably and has
been rational throughout the morn
ing.
DR.. Louis 3. Castell. the family
physician and close personal friend
OF Capt. Stinmel. was summoned to
the residence as soon as the wound
ed man was found in the basement
Or. Castell gave first aid treatment.
bandaGed his wounds and rushed him
TO Emergency Hospital
No cause for the act was advanced
TO-DAY by friends or relatives, but il
was pointed out Capt. Stimmel had
been in ill health for about two
months. The nature of his illness was
described as being nervous disorder
brought about undoubtedly by his
, important and combining work at the
Army Medical School. where he has
been stationed for the past four years.
AT that institution he was engaged
IN the production of typhoid vaccine
which kept him close up IN the lab
oratory for long hours He let the
work worry him too much" said one
ofhcer of the school this morning.
About two months ago Capt. Slim
mel was temporarily relieved from
duty at the school and sent TO Wal
ter Reed Hospital, where he was
treated for the nervous disorder.
Last week he was given a months
leave from the hospital "to conva-
leSce.' 1t was said there today, at the
end of which time he was expected
back for an examination, and further
efforts would be made to relieve him
of his apparently distressing condi-
tion.
His act this morning came as a sur
prise to all who were associated with
him at the hospital and the school,
for several officers declared they had
talked with him only a few days ago
and at that time he appeared to be in
good health.
Capt Stimmel was born in Ohio.
July 4, 1879. and served a number of
years as an enlisted man. In 1917 he
was appointed a first lieutenant in
the National Army, Sanitary Corps,
and later was transferred to the
Walter Reed Hospital from Decem-
Der, 1917, to March, 1919, and since
has been on duty at the medical
school.
Capt. Stimmel is married and has
two children. Barbara and Leona.

proximately one thousand are home

them in rehabilitating themselves.
according to an estimate made by G.
C. Crane and c. E. Lovett, represen-

in charge Of the relief measures.
This estimate was made today after
a. survey of the situation at Savage
and several other points in the area
devastated by the storm which swept
through half a dozen counties last
Thursday and took a toll of twenty
eight lives.
At least 125 families were made
homeless In Savage and Tate coun-
ties alone, Mr. Crane said. Rations
to last a week already had been
issued, he stated, to a number of the
destitute and tents have been erected
to afford temporary shelter A ship
ment of seventy-five additional tents
arrived yesterday and $50 Army cots
are enroute to be distributed in the

CONTINUES MORSE
TRIAL TO APRIL ;
Justice Stafford Causes De-
lay Because of Illness of
One Defendant.
OTHERS ASK SEVERANCE
Counsel Would Put Off Trial
Longer, But Court Refuses
to Assent.
OTHERS ASK SEVERANCE

The trial OF Charles w Morse. his
three sons and four others charged
with conspiracy to defraud the
United States and the Shipping Board
in connection with war contracts was
postponed today by Justice Stafford
in Criminal Division l of the Dis
trict Supreme Court until Tuesday.
April 3. The postponement is caused
by the illness of Harry f. NIors.. OF
New London. Conn. one of the de-
fendants. Doctors certified that
Morse will not be able to travel 70.
two weeks
After the postponement hal been
announced Attorneys Nash Rock
wood Of New York and Wilton j.
Lambert OF Washington asked per-
mission of the court to file motions
for separate trials. The motion as
to Benjamin Morse was fled. but
counsel said they had to redraft the
application of the other brother Ben
cation to the court some months apo
and ii was denied by Chief Justice
Mccoy. Counsel wish to re-lrgua
the motion before Justice Stafford
Physicians Examine Morse.
United States Attorney Gordon adj
vised the court that he had requested
the agent of the Department Of Justice
at New London to have two doctors
examine Harry +. Morse and he had
received telegram Of the result of
that examination. The examination
was made by DR.. Frank C. Dunn, a
practitioner of New London. and by
DR.. J. r. Whiting of the naval base
there. They report Morse has a heart
murmur and that his physical condi-
tion will not warrant travel to Wash
ington within two weeks. Maj. Gordon
asked that the earliest possible date
be fixed for the trial.
Judge Rockwood pleaded a case in
New Jersey in which the jury is al
ready empaneled for trial April 4. and
requested a further extension of eight
days. The court was unwilling TO de-
lay the case more than absolutely
necessary to insure the presence of
Harry +. Morse.
Justice Stafford this afternoon de-
MED the application of Benjamin
Morse for a separate trial. Counsel
for Morse urged that he had been
connected only a short time with the
Virginia Shpbliding Company. and
that a separate trial had been ac-
corded Colin II. Livingstone, w. w.
Scott and Leonard Christy, all affil-
lated with the Virginia Corporation,
Benjamin Morse was entitled equally
to have his trial separately from the
others because much CT the testimony
applicable to other defendants would
not apply to him.
