ON TRAIN
5rooding Over $40, 600, 900
Crash Brought Heart Attack,
Physicians Believe.

TOLEDO, Ohio, March ga
broken heart over the failure Of his
vast plans for a national chain of
stores was believed today to have
been responsible for the death of
Leonard r. Steel, jr., forty-two-year-
old merchant and financier, of Buf.
falo. whose body was found, in a
compartment upon westbound
New York Central passenger train.
Coroner Hentzler ordered an in.
quest.
A cursory examination convinced
the county medical authorities that
Steel was the victim OF heart at,
tack.
Steel was formerly head OF L.. r
Steel & Co., which was recently
thrown into bankruptcy after $26,
100000 stock had been sold. Steel
mixed merchandising, promotion
and finance together, aspiring tc
become second J. p. Morgan in
the business world.
Collapse Of his gigantic schemes
preyed heavily upon his peace OF
mind and he brooded until his
health began to feel the ill-effects
His present trip was said to have
Deen planned as vacation to give
0SSSA respite from business AT
fairs. In addition to stores in the
United States, Steel planned a chain
OF enterprises through Canada.
The porter Of the train said that
Steel appeared to be in norma
health when he retired. He told
the coroner that he knew NOTHING
OF the death until notified by a
member OF Steers party.
The death of Steel marks the
crash to the gigantic financial anC
merchandising scheme.
And with this crash is the faI
OF tdealtstic methods to instill "per

by songs, cheers and badges OF
merit. Steel believed in having hi,

He believed that fat pay envelopes

Organization Was Formed in
October. 1885, and Has Had
Many Notable Members.

A unique organization Is the Snort
Story Club Of Washington. Its his
tory dates back to October, 1856,
and many of the shining lights Of
literature which the District has
produced have been enrolled in its
membership.
Mrs. A. H. Mohl. now dead, who
was an author Of note. was the
originator and first presidentaof the
club. Mrs. MohPs object in aorgan-
izing the club was to obtain original,
unpublished stories from the clubs
membership. One OF thes require
ments was that a member should
read his, or her, efforts at a meet
| ing. Later it was decided that
essays and other literary features
by famous authors be read at meet
ings.
Mrs. Mira M. Metcalf, veteran
recording secretary of the organiza.
ton, said today that the club mem
bers are credited with having fur
nished more original literary mat
ter in the District than any other
similar organization. Mrs. MetcaR
has been secretary for Twenty-Five
years and is the widow Of Charles
A. Metcalf, who for fifty years was
a clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment. He used to make the boast
that in all his years Of service he
was not absent day from duty
until stricken, by his fatal illness.
Included in its membership was
Capt. F. v. DeCoster, who COM
manded the battle in civil war days
in which the Rev. John Couden,
blind chaplain of the House OF
representatives for several years,
lost his eyesight. DeCoster was
president OF the organization for
years and when he died the Rev
Mr.. Couden officiated at his funeral
services.
William Tyler Page, author Of the
American Greed for which he won
prize of $1,000, also was presi.
| Another former president is Cliff.
ford Howard, short story author
and writer of scenarios.
For some years after the incep-
ton of the club it used to meet
at the. old Willard Hotel, but IN
recent times it has made its head
quarters at the w. c.. T. u. build
ing. Meetings are held the second
Tuesday of each month from April
to October. inclusive. Active and
inactive members are included in
the membership. The inactive mem.
bers are not authors.
| Minutes of a meeting are usually
of a boring character, but those
recorded by Mrs. Metcalf are said
to be unique because of the humor
she can throw into them. At meet
ings many a laugh and smile have
been caused because Of the mirth
provoked by the reading OF the pro-
ceedings of previous gatherings.
Another member of the club is J.
Lewis Moneyway, lecturer on the
technique of the short story at
George Washington University, who
has done graduate work in the
same branch at Columbia University
and special work at Cornell. He re-

Miss Jewell says that the only
explanation she can give as TO why
police headQuarters detectives
should believe her house was

phoned the newspapers and asked
them for the address Of the house
on KaIarurna road where the Chi
nese Killings took place. She says
she did not send q man TO police
headquarters to make inquiries for
her.
