POINTS OF THE DEBATE Two of the crying needs of Washington were considered at the meeting of the board of trade, held last evening in the hall of the Builders’ Exchange. The. first of these was the need for a bet- ter water supply for the capital; the sec- ond the general demand for a better qual- ty of gas for the city at a more reason- able price than holds at. present. The two matters were brought up in reports from two of the committees of the board. To the resolution placing the board on the side of a better water supply there was no objection at all and the members voted in favor of it with charming unanimity. When it came to the matter of “dollar gas,” however, there was considerably more opposition than had been anticipated. The special committee on gas and electric Nght brought in a supplemental report, which included a resolution favoring the passage of House bill No. 6904, “regulating the price of gas in the District of Colum- bia.” Several members of the board ac- tively opposed the resojution, and insisted that it was not within the province of such a Fody es the beard of trade to take up such a matter under any circumstances. In the end, the resolution was adopted by an overwhelming majority. The resolution favoring municipal ownership of gas plant was tabled. The meetng was called to order by Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, the first vice president of the board of trade, and Mr. John B. Wight, the secretary, read the minutes of the last two meetings. Report on Water Supply. The first business of the evening, Mr. Noyes announced, was the report of the committee on water supply. This was a special repcrt, supplemental to the an- nual report of the committee, and was read by the chairman, Mr. Archibald Greenlees. It was as follows: “The report of the committee on water supply at the last annual meeting refer- red to the investigation of the abandoned turnel as being in progress, but the rec- ommendations to follow were not then publicly known. Since that time, however, the commission of experts conducting the examination have rendered their report, and have unanimotsly recommended that the tunnel be completed—using the follow- ing language in their report: “When the amount necessary to com- plete the present tunnel is considered, it is our opinion that no other means can pro- vide as economical and efficient ethod for conducting large quantities of water from one part of the District to another.’ . +e . . e« 8 @ “In conclusicn, we have ta report that it is our unanimous judgment that it is feasible to complete the tunnel conduit, with its appurtenances, ready {gr the serv- ice for the sum of $807,439.’ + “This report has recelyed the full ap- proval of the War Department, and im- mediate action is urged sby the chief cn- gineer of the army, General Craighill. “At the suggestion of :Captain Edward Burr, assistant engineer commissioner, an additional sum of $198,013.50 has been add- ed for the completion of the Howard Uni- versity reservoir, without which the tun- nel, even when completed, would be of little value. “From this it will be seen that the plan for providing the Dis: with an ample supply of water, of which the tunnel has been the leading feature, now stands ap- proved by the highest eugineering author- ity. That the board of wade may under- stand what this recommendation, if car- ried out by Congress, will do for the city, your committee will state briefiy a few rec- ognized fact: A Few Recognized Facts. “Ist. The natural capacity of the distrib- uting pipes in the city at present is about 35,000,000 gallons daily, and if no more than this was required, then an ample sup- ply would reach all the houses in the city, easily entering the second story on Capitol Hill. -As a matter of fact, iuwever, the daily consumption is fully 50,000,000) gal- Jons, under ordinary conditions, and in requiring a natural distribut.ng capacity of thirty-five millions to furnish fifty mfi- lions, there follows a serious loss of pres- sure, which is most greatly felt at the points farthest from the reservoir; and for that reuson the water on Capitol Hill, for example, instead of reaching the second story is found only to reach the first story, in many places. Ii follows also that every million gallons additional that is forced through the present supply pipes is fol- lowed by an increased loss of pressure, un- til the point can be reached when the wa- ter will not rise high enough to enter the first story of the houses in some sections of the District. “This is the danger that now confronts us. The consumption of water is increas- ing yearly. Something must be done and done quickly, or a most gerious condition will follow from a short water supply. The engineer department have done all in their Power—with the agencies at ther disposal —to give the citizens a good water supply. “2d. It will be remembered that an ap- prepriation was made at the last session of Congr for raisimg the dam of Great Falls some 24% feet. This work is now be- ing pushed rapidly, and is expected to be completed next fall. This increxse of the dam, however, will be of little advantage until an increased distributing agency i3 also given. To utilize the increased quanti- ty of water which will be secured by the raising of the dam, there must also be pro- vided additional supply mains, or as now recommended, the completion of the tun- nel and the Howard University ‘reservoir. Should this by the grace of Congress be done, what would be the practical results? “The result, as to quantity, would be an increase of reservoir capacity from 300,- 000,000 to 600,000,000, gallons, and an easy and nitural supply of seventy-five million gallons daily, with a pressure capable of carrying the water into the second and perhaps third stories of all the houses in the District. It is also estimated that the supply thus provided for will prove ample for all needs, for some years to come, 6r at least until the daily consumption reach- es seVenty-five or eighty million gallons. When that is reached, then an additional conduit from the falls to the receiving res- ervoirs, if constructed, will give plenty of water for fifty years to come. “In order to give a more definite idea of the result of the completion of our water system as now recommended, it can be stated that the water pregsuré on Capitol Hill last August was 14 pound$, and at the present time about 11 pounds. At one time this winter it fell below vhat;!and in very eold weather will do so again, This pres- sure of 11 pourds carries the Water only 25 feet above the level of the pavement. “In pleasant contrast to this, it is well to Know that when this portion of the city can be supplied from the Howard Univer- sity reservoir, as provided in Senate reso- lution No, 84, the pressure will be at least as much as 20 pounds, and the water will be forced forty-five feet ot mdre above the level of the pavement. “At present, under ordinary conditions, the supply is inefficient;.under more un- favorable conditions the. water supply is sadly deficient. When the tunnel and How- ard University reservoir are made a part of your water system, then the supply will be amply sufficient under all, conditions, summer and winter, and for years to come. “The expert report and recommendations of the War Department already referred to have been embodied in Senate resolution No. 84 by Senator McMillan, and which has been read the first and second time by unanimous consent, and now awaits further action. > “Your committee wishes to say that Sen- ate resolution No. 84, now in charge of the Senate District committee, makes provision for just what we need in order secure to every section of the District an abun- dant supply of water. The consummation of our wishes is in sight, and yet may be lost or greatly delayed by indifference on our part, and on the part of the citizens of the District. It should borne in mind that it will require at least two years, and perhaps, longer, t6 perfect the water. sup- ply_as.contemplated in thie dill. “Every day's delay now means days of discomfort, per! suffering, and we are sure it means itive danger to the health of this’ community in the not distant fu- ture. Already we have had the most con- vincing proof of this great danger, and we have the assurance of our engineer officers that each succeeding summer and winter will find an increasing and distressing shart supply of water. “A water famine in our midst before re- Hef comes is not a phantom of the brain, but a grave possibility, with all its attend- ing calamities. We are not alarmists in this matter, but the situation is filled with real danger; and those most conversant with this subject are most keenlf impressed with the seriqusness of the situation that now confronts us. “The sanitary aspect of this subject was most thoroughly commented upon at the last meeting of the board, and while too much cannot be said upon this view of the cases we need not enlarge upon it in this repert, excepting to say that in this lies the real menace to the city. Plea for an Abundant Supply. “Our plea tonight is for an abundant sup- ply. Senator McMillan, a stanch friend of the District, introduced and has resolution No. 84 in charge, and may be relied upon to do all in his power to secure its passage, but he can be he'!red. “A special committee of one hundred members of this board has been chosen to urge Congress in behalf of a system of sew- erage. Not less important, certainly, is this water question, and we would urge that every member of this body make it his spe- cial business to influence such members of Congress as he can on behalf of immediate and favorable action on this resolution. We ae entire unanimity on the part of all in 8 favor. The resolution embraces all we need, and we need it all. af also appeal to all the citizens of the District that they demerd in every legiti- mate way prompt action by Congress on this matter. No good reason can be given for delay; on the contrary, reason and pru- dence demend immediate action, for no matter how promptly Ccngres3; may act, there will then remain the two years or more that must elapse before the water supply can be increased. “Owing to the more than usual muddy condition ef the water this winter, the sub- ject of filtration has received a gooé deal of attentiom and discussion; and perhaps this report should not close without some reference to this side of the water question, but only to say, however, that while we agree with all] that has been said as tq the heaithfulness and pleasure of having a wa- ter free from all impurities—whether it be mud or bacterla—still we regard the ques- tion of quantity as much more pressing and important than that of quality, inasmuch as we cannot secure both at the same time. “No engineer of any standing or knowl- edge of this subject names a less figure than one million dollars as the sum re- quired to provide the necessary means for thorough and satisfactory filtration, and in additicn to this there would of necessity be needed a large annual appropriation to op- erate and keep it in order. “Your committee deem this an inappro- priate time to move in this direction, and feel sure we would utterly fail to secure money for the purpose of filtration at this session of Congress. Scme other time in the ‘sweet by and by’ we can mote effect- ively strive for an improved quality of Po- tomac water. “One thing at a time, so far as water is concerned; and the one and all important thing now is the passage of the Senate res- olution No. 84 through the present Con- gress. To the accomplishment of this our energies should be given. The Resolutions. “Your committee, therefore, recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: “Be it resolved, That the board of trade urgently ask Congress to pass at the earliest possible moment Senate joint reso- lution No. 84, for the completion of the water supply. “Resolved, That the committee on water supply be instructed to present a copy of the foregoing resolution to the District committees of the Senate and the House, and to urge the speedy passage of said joint resolution. “Resolved, That this board invites the active co-operation of the citizens, and would suggest that they can best assist in this by seeing or writing such Senators and members as they may personally know.” The Discussion. The resolutions embodicd in the report were seconded by Dr. A. P. Fardon, so as to properly bring them up for discussion. This was started by Mr. W. E. Dodge, who referred to the history of the present Howard University reservoir and the Ly- decker tunnel, illustrating his remarks by means of several charts, which showed the plan and scope of the work. He was followed by Mr. George H. Harries, who took exception to Mr. Dodge's Statement that the blame for that famous tunnel rested upon the shoulders of another man than Maj. Lydecker. Mr. Harries said that if such was the case it svould be quite proper for the board of trade to re- open the whole matter, for Maj. Lydecker was the subject of a court-mariial, which held him responsible for that great hole in the ground. He was fined for his share of the work, and practically banished to a vost far distant from Washington. if Mr. Dodge's position was a tenable one, then Maj. Lydecker was the victim of unfortu- nate circumstances, and in no wise to blame. Mr. P. B. Sands also threw some fur- ther light upon the subject of the tunnel, whereupon Mr. Greenlees rose and remark- ed that the discussion was taking a rather unfortunate direction. It was not a part of the board's province to make or unmake reputations, and he regretted the evident tendency to drift away from the gist of the resolutions as incorporated in the com- mittee’s report. Dr. Fardon spoke briefly in the same vein, and after some remarks from Mr. F. L. Siddons, the resolutions were put to the mecting by Mr. Noyes. They were adopted without a single dissenting voice. Gas and Electric Light Report. A supplemental report of the special com- mittee or®@gas and electric light in the Dis- trict of Columbia was then called for. It was read by Mr. J. H. Ralston, und was as follows: “Nearly five months have elapsed since this cummittee concluded what it believed to be its final repert. In the interim new conditions have arisen—conditions that it was impossib’e to foresce, and we believe it to be our duty to call attention to them in a supplemental report. Afier what ap- pears to be a thorough invescigation into the cost of manufacturing and distributing gas, the House of Representatives has de- clared emphatically—both in the District 2ppropriation bills and in a separate meas- ure—in favor of lower rates than now pre- vali. The measure which pas: the House Monday, the 9th instant, authorizes the Washirgion Gas Light Company to charge and collect not exce2ding $l per thousand feet for illuminating gas furnished to and paid for by the govern-nent of the United States and other consumers in the District of Columbia, or $1.25 if the monthly gas bis are not paid within ien ‘lays after the presentation. The Georgetown Gas Light Company is authorized to charge $1.25 per thousand fet, or $1.50 after the ten-day period. Provision is also made for increase of the illuminating power to twenty-ttvo candles, with freedom from dangerous tm- purities. “By the appropriatioa bill which passed the House on February 1, 1806, {t was pto- vided that the future price of gas in the District of Columoia should not exceed’ 75 cents per thousand feet. While your com- mittee believes that this price is as high as should be paid in the District of Colum- bia, yet, in view of the fact that the $1 gas bill which passed the House of Represen- tatives on the 9th compels the furnishing of a superior quality of gas, coupled with the further fact that the $l-gas bill will probably meet with a much larger degree of favor in the Senate, your committee ig disposed to recommend the passage of the first of the subjoined resolutions, as calculated to meet more promptly the pres- ent emergency. “The appropriation bill above referred to further provided for a redaction in the charge for electric are or incandescent Lights, or electricity for power, so that hereafter such charge should not exceed %% per cent of the price charged for such light and pewer ‘n this District on Jan- uary 1, 1896. Your committee feels that, as having a temporary value, the board should indorse this proposition. Resolutions Recommended. “The committee, therefore, submits for the approval of the board of trade, and to be acted upon in the order in which they given, the following resolutions: “1. Resolved, That the special committee on gas and electric lighting in the District of Columbia of this board be instructed to do all in its power toward securing, at the earllest possible date, the passaxe of House bill No. 6904, regulating the price of gas in the District of Columbia, and the officers THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 189¢—TWELVE PAGES. . of this board are jaested and in- structed to cue imeehiae aie to the same end. . “2 Resolved, That the said committee be further instructed to use its best efforts to- ward securing the redaction in the price of elegtric arc or incandescent ight or elec- tricity for power provided for by the amend- ment to the District of Columbia appropri- ation bill adopted oy the House of Rerre- sentatives on February 1, 1396. “3. That the legal committee of the board of trade be, and it is hereby instructed to, Prepare and place before Congress a bill Providing for the condemnaticn of the plants of the Washing=2n Gas Light Com- pany, the electric lighting compantes and the Georgetown Gas Light Company, and also providing for the raising of sufficient money to pay therefor, and for the con- duct hereafter of the lighting business by the District of Columbia.” Referring to the report of this special committee Mr. Ralston said that he did not wish to be understood as holding that SM is fair and just price for gas. Ex- perience has shown that in Philadelphia gas can be furnished at the mouth of the burner at @ cost of 55 cents per thousand. If that is so 65 cents, or 75 cents at the outside, would be a very fair selling price for gas in this city. The argument that coal much more expensive here than it 4s in Philadelphia has been fterated and reiterated until it has come to have some weight in certain quarters. In point of fact, the argument is scarcely worth con- sideration. To prove his point Mr. Rai- ston quoted figures to show that the differ- ence in the price of coal in the two cities does not warrant a difference of more thar one or two cents a thousand. First Resolution Debated. To bring the matter up for discussion Mr. Ralsion moved the adoption of the first resolution, indorsing the so-called “dollar gas bill.” It was seconded by Mr. Dodge. Mr. C. C. Lancaster said that he was in favor of cheap gas, of course, but, as a inember of the board of trade, he was op- posed to any hasty action on such an im- portant matter as this. It would affect one of the most important business interests in the District, and he thought more con- sideration ought to be shown to those who have invested their property in the gas company, to those who have borrowed money on the stock and the banks which have loaned money on the stock. But yet he did not want to be construed as speak- ing for the gas company as a corporation. Even as it is competition is stronger than it ever was before. The electric light com- pany is driving it to the wall and will continue to do so. He was in favor of cheaper gas, but he did not think the com- pany could stand a reduction of 25 cents a thousand unless it was given some time in which to recover from the shock. He thought the hest way to de was to com- promise. In this way the interests of the iunocent stockholders would not be jeop- ardized. He suggested that the price of gas ought to be reduced 10 cents the first year, 5 cents the second, and so on, until it comes to $1. If this were done the com- pany could meet the changed condNion of affairs without such great inconvenience. Personally he was willing to pay the pres- ent price if only the quality of the gas were what it ought to be, but he did think it was folly to do anything that would tend to depreciate the value of a standard stock “at a time when real estate is low and railroads are going to pieces.” At ihe rate things are going there will soon be no way for a man to invest his savings. in conclusion, Mr. Lancaster introduced as a substitute for the committee's recom- mendation a resolution embodying his sclLeme for a graduated scale for reducing the price of gas. Mr. Harries antagonized Mr. Lancaster's position, and argued strongly in favor of the “dollar gas bill." He admitted that if the bill were passed it might affect the market price of gas stock, but he did not think that was the most important question involved. The interests of the community generally were more deserving of consider- ation. He did nut “take much stock” in the idea that the gas company has suffer- ed materially from competition, though he admitted that it was true that some peo- ple hai abandoned gas and were using elec- tricity instead. Mr. Harries compared the present sit tion to the time when there was an outery over the proposition to have railroad trains take the place of stage coaches. He re- called the story of a staid old Quaker who an up against the famous inventor. ‘Do you really expect to go at such an outrageous speed as twelve miles an hour?’ “I hope we may.” “But suppose @ cow should get in front of the engine “Weel, thet said Stevenson, though:- “so much the waur for the coo.” . R.A. Phillips also spoke in favor of th resoluticn, referring especially to the fact that the original stock of the com- pany only amounted to $500,000, and this had been watered up to $2,000,000, Mr. Parris’ Positio: Mr. A. K. Parris, who prefaced his re- marks with the statement that he was not interested in the company to the extent of a penny, took the position that it was out of the province of the board of trade to deal with such a question at all. He thought it was no more thelr business to dictate in such an arbitrary manner the price of gas than it was to interfere with the methods of a bank or a trust company. if they went in for such matters as this they would soon find themselves swamped with resolutions on every possible subject. Mr. George E. Emmons, who also made it very Clear ihat he wes not financially in- terested in the company, made a heated speech Geprecating any hasty action by the board of trade that would affect the status of the gas company. It had been said that the stock of the company had been watered cor erably. That might be true, Mr. Emmons said, but he would re- mind them that there wer2 gentlemen with- in the sound of his voice who had watered their stocks 30 per cent and more and sill were not satisfied. He was in favor of a compromise, if board insisted upon going into the matter at all. This would enable the company to accommodate itself to the new conditions. In conclusion, Mr. Emmons warned his hearers that if they continued in the eirection they were going and sought to cripple such a representa- tive enterprise as the gas company it would be but the entering wedge. He bade them beware lest in attacking this company they should wound cthers nearer and dearer to them personally. Mr. Siddons pointed out the mistake that Mr. Emmons had made in confusing pri- te enterprises with a quasi public enter- prise such as a fas company. It was ab- surd to say that it was out of the province of the board to deal with the affairs of a company which enjoyed such valuable rights and privileges at the hands of ihe community, making no returns therefor. Mr. Emmons said that he did not be- lieve, and he did not think any member of the board believed, that gas could be man-- ufactured at 56 cents ver thousand. r. Emmons claims too much in his argument for the company,” repiled Mr. Siddons, “for the representatives of tne gas company themselves admitted at the re- cent gas investigation that those figures are correct and that it can be made for 56 cents.” Another member of the board who spoke in favor of the bill was Mr. Sands, who said that the “innocent parties’” in this matter are not the stockholders who draw the filvidends, but the people of Washing- ton gererally, who have to pay the bills. A reduction of 25 cents a thousand wouki bring gas into the houses of many who now; cannot afford it. , Two Resolutions Adopted. This closed the discussion, and a vote was taken on Mr. Lancaster’s substitute resolution, which suggested a graded scale for reducing the price of gas. It was not altogether without supporters, but it was defeated by a big majority. The first of the resolutions recommended by the committee was then taken up and passed by an equally large majority. Tha second resolution was passed without op- position or debate. The third did not come up until late in the evening, but a short time before adjournment, but it was evi- dent that the board was not a unit in fa- vor of municipal ownership of the gas and electric lighting plants. The resolution was discussed by Mr. Ralston, Mr. Samuel W. Curriden, Mr. Emmons, Mr. O. T. Crosby, Mr. Greenlees and Mr. John Joy Edson. A motion to lay it on the table was carried Life almost unanimous vote. ter a request from Mr. Noyes that the members of the board-use their influence with Congress in favor of the free Mbrary bill as it passed the Senate, which is now in conference, the meeting adjourned. ——_— The District Government. PEERLESS REJANE, Queen of Tragedy and Cay- livator of Hearts, As Madam Sans Gene, Her Work Was a Revelation. The Americans Saw Her in Her Latest Play. Today, as ever, the pulse of the American people beats warm and fast at the approach of genius,. whether it be native or foreign born. Nowhere, perhaps, is this fact more Particularly in evidence than with regard to the stage. Year after year we see it exemplified, sometimes in the case of our own, as for example, the renowned comedian, Joseph Jef- ferson, or Denman Thompson, or Fanny Davenport, but more often, it would seem, in the case of the for- eign, or European stars. Last year came Rejané, the queen of tragedy, fresh from her dramatic triumphs in Paris, in London and on the conti- nent. It was her first visit to Ameri- ca in search of American honors and American dollars, and her stay, though short, proved a rare and de- lightful treat for the American pub- lic. Unfortunately for her, our American climate dealt harshly by the prima donna, and the wear and tear of her professional duties, added to the climatic change, made Madam Rejane a rather easy subject for the grip. Like many another sufferer from this same disease, the great French actress tried various remedies, and submitted to all sorts of advice, until finally, when nearly exhausted, she was induced to try the Genuine JO- HANN HOFF’S MALT EX- TRACT. The result was a com- plete and almost immediate cure. Now she writes regarding it as fol- jows: “The Genuine JOHANN HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT has restored me wonderfully from the ef- fects of the grip. It is an admirable tonic and appetizer when used with the meals. I have used it constantly in Paris.” Ask for and be sure you get the JOHANN HOFF'S MALT EX- TRACT. Avoid all imitations. = — DO NOT WANT BRITISH PROTECTION. Americans in Sout! Against Uncle m’s Action. That the Americans resident in South Africa are not particularly pleased at being placed under the protection of Great Britain is shown by a letter to The Star from Fred W. Essenwein cf Bloemfontein, Orange Free State. Mr. Essenwein is a prominent business man of Bloemfontein. He claims to have made a canvass of all the Ameri- cans in that part of Africa, and that all were opposed to being left in the care of the British representatives. In the course of his letter he says: “As a native American I must enter my earnest protest against the action of the United States government placing its citi- zens In South Africa under-the protection of the British government. “I have lived in this republic for over five years, and, together with all other Ameri- cans ilving here, I have been treated with the greatest respect and consideration by the government and people of this country my person and my property have alw: been fully protected, and I defy any one to point out a safer country to live in than this republic. “None of the sneers about ‘Yankee’ this and ‘Yankee’ that, to which we are exposed in the neighboring British colonies, are ever leveled at us by the South African repub- licans, and, under the circumstances, Brit- ish protection is both superfluous and humillating. The American government is most ably represented in the Transvaal by Mr. Manion, and all the protection Ameri- can citizens may need can be rendered by him and by the governments of the South African republic and of the Orange Free State. “Before writing the above I canvassed al- most all Americans I know in the two re- publics for their opinion on this matter, and their replies are all in full accord with the sentiments expressed by me. “It might be a good thing for the Ameri- can government to know that if war should really break out between the British and the Boers—i. e., the imperialistic capitalists, as represented by Mr. C. F. Rhodes and his partners, on the one side, and the republican patriots, as represented by that grand old man, on the other side—0) per cent of the American citizens will be found fighting for :the latter. “Having lived among these people for so long a time and believing that the real facts of the case are not presented to the Ameri- can press and public by the British cable- grams, I thought it my duty to pen this brief protest, in the expectation that if the American people once know the truth, they will take as firm a stand on behalf of these young and struggling republics against the same despoiler as they have in the Ven- ezuelan boundary dispute.” Africa Protest putas X RAYS EVERYWHERE. They Make Photographs in the Dark. Several important discoveries have been made with X rays by Stephen H. Emmens of New York, who claims to have succeeded in obtaining the rays from the ordinary sunbeam, and has taken excellent pictures therewith. He has also, he believes, suc- eceded in reflecting the X rays, which here- tofcre have been considered impossible of feflection. This opens up a remarkable field, for it means that the rays can be concen- trated, and with proper apparatus, be used to produce photographs instead of mere shadowgraphs, as at present Dr. Emmens has found what he believes to be the X ray in absolute darkness, and has caught its effects on a sensitive plate. His experiments convince him that the X ray is as universal as gravitation itself; that there is @ correlation between it and all other forms of radiant energy, and that. it may be changed under proper conditions into these other forms. He is now trying to turn the X rays into ordinary light, and, if he succeeds, wonders may be worked later. It may be possible to light a dark room by using the waste radiant energy of the boil- ing tea kettle or the ordinary radiator, or by collecting and turning into ordinary light the X rays of the darkness itself. the well-known inventor the powerful explosive adopted by the United States government for military purposes. In his X ray experi- ments he was assisted by his son, Newton W. Emmens. —— se<e-—_____ They Died Together. Robert E. Herman, thirty-two years old, a bartender, and Lizzie Grater, twenty years old, a domestic, hired a room at the Menlo Hotel in New York Monday night. Both were found dead in the room last night, having been shot with a pistol which lay on the bed between them. the at- tending circumstances and from letters which were found in the room it is believed that the man killed the woman and then shot himself. The letters indicated that the couple had agreed to die together. Herma was out of work.
