n ~ b
Major @. M. Watson, executive
officer at Walter Reed Hospital,
today ruled that all information
concerning the mysterious death
of the nty-four-year-old sem
try, Russell Shores, who was shot
TO death while he paced his post
behind the nurses quarters Tues
day night, must be obtained from
him. He denied newspaper re-
porters the privilege Of conduct
ing d personal investigation On
the reservation.
II am the only one whom you
can see about this case" Major
Watson told reporters. = win

know and / don't know anything.

II ii said that Major Watson has
reluctantly come to the conclusion
that Shores probably Is not sui
eide. Early today he said:
"I have nothing to say about the
case whatever. Get your Informal
ton from the coroner"
Major Watson admits that q
board OF inquiry has been appointed
to investigate the sentry's death. but
refuses to divulge the Identity Of
the members of this board.
Leaning on the theory that
murder will out, If murder It
be-" Doctor Herbert 2. Martyr.
deputy coroner, today announced
that he win probably delay until
Monday the holding Of a coroner's
inquest in the case.

been almost instantaneous follow
Ing a. shot which pierced his left
lung, may be sent to his home in

win be sworn in over the body at
the Walter Reed morgue today.
Suicide Theory Out.
Deputy Coroner Martyr said to-
day that he does NOS believe Shores
was suicide. but he does think It
probable that It might be case Of
homicide or accidental death. He
said that he spent tnree hours going
over the ground near the Scales
house and the Nurses Home, where
the body was found, ana that 1t is
possible that the scuffled ground
and strewn building material might
have. been caused by. Shores In g
final fit Of death.
DR., Martyr said that the pet
ting party theory" was entirely
plausible and that It is also pos
sible that he had trouble with a
bootlegger or that he had met a
young girl while on his beat and
was reckIeSsly exhibiting his gun
as young soldiers sometimes do.
It Is in the hope that the true

Mrs. Margaret i. Lower. head Of

Of no cause which would have
prompted Shores suicide. ''He al

In the sentry's pockets were two
letters, one apparently from girl
friend, and the other from a rela-
tive giving news Of the illness Of

Hornsby on Way to New
 National League Record

St. Louis, Sept. 4.-Rogers Horns by is well on his way to establish new batting record in the National league-that of having led the cir cult in hitting five consecutive sea- sons. The record of four consecu- tive season established by Hans Wagner from 1906 to 1909, inclu- siye, was equalled by Hornsby last year. This season he has topped the National league hittens virtually from the start of the campaign.
 Hornsby, like Ty Cobb, This Speaker, Johnny Evers, Grover Alexander, Eddie Collins and many other star players, entered the. ma ior league company merely as a pros pect and at little expense to his club. He is said to have cost the Cardinals only $500 when he was purchased from the Dennison, Tex as, club. He proved his ability as an infelder and batter his second year in fast company and has been doing 1t since. .''
