MATTHEW J. NOONE,
50, HANGS HIMSELF.

Man Had Been Missing
More Than Two Days.

Matthew j. Noone, IS years old, Of

Giles of the west end of the city, hanged
himself yesterday in small store room
or the third floor of the st. Stephens
Club, 2422 K street, which he helped to
organize. His body was found last eve
ming where it is thought to have been
for almost 48 hours.
His wife, Mrs. Marjorie Noone. with
whom he lived with their three daugh-
tiers. said he had been missing from
home for more than two days and that
she asked the police to search for him.
Noone left no note or other indica-
ton of the reason for his act, but his
friends and the Rev. T. v. Fitzgerald,
assistant pastor of st. Stephens Church,
attributed it to i'll health.
Was Sick Man.
Matt Noone was sick in both mind
and body" Father Fitzgerald asserted
today. He was willing to take on his
shoulders the troubles of others, but he
could not rid himself of his own. He
was subject to neurasthenia and it was
apparent that he was one of those who
let trif1es prey on their mind.
He was born and raised in st. Ste
phen's parish and during all the time
that I knew him he was perhaps the
most active member of the church"
Noone's body was found in a sitting
position on the floor with a moose
around his neck and the other end of
the rope tied to a gas jet. The door
was barricaded from the inside with
chairs. J. H. Frank. the houseman of
the club, who discovered the tragedy
was forced to remove the lock with a
screw driver and then summon help
before the door could be completely
opened. He said the door had been
locked since Wednesday evening.
Dead for AZ Hours.
The Emergency Hospital ambulance
was called and Dr. j. Swartzman of the
hospital staff pronounced the man dead
giving his opinion that death had come
43 hours before.
District Coroner j. Ramsay hewitt is
sued certificate of suicide.
Noone was employed as an auditor in
the Internal Revenue Bureau. He
played on the st. Stephens, the Emer-
aid and the Treasury Department base
ball teams. He was instrumental in
organizing the Departmental League
and had served as its secretary and
treasurer. He had been president of
the St. Stephens Club and was lead
er in the Holy Name Society.
Besides his widow he is survived by
his daughters, Majorie, IA years old;
Frances, 10 years old, and Eleanor, 4
years old. and brother, T. A. Noone
of 1875 New Hampshire avenue.
Funeral arrangements are being made
today by Father Fitzgerald.

ed by Public.

DR.. William Gerry Morgan. prominent
washington physician, yesterday was
elected president of the American Medi-
cal Association, and, appearing before
the organization last night, declared
that the elaborate and expensive"
diagnostic procedure which the public
has come to demand may account for
the increased cost of medical services.
The means of combating this In
creased cost is one of the problems
said, according to Associated Press dis
patches from Portland, Greg, where the
association is meeting.
Medical Cost Problem.
1.-THE problem most acute from the
public point Of view." DR.. Morgan said,
lis the cost of medical care. AS I
view this matter the acuteness Of the
present situation does not come so
much from the insistent demand of the
so-called oppressed ones, as from the
activities of that comparatively small
group of we'll meaning, mentally bored,
more or less idle rich, who are taking
this problem as an outlet for their
otherwise unoccupied energies.
Certainly 1t may be said that the
cannot account for the complaints
against us, and 1t may be that the
true difficulty may lie in the elaborate
and expensive diagnostic procedure
which the public has come to de-
mand."
The congress of the association de-
cided to investigate further a proposal
