In its dual role as com mittee on committees and. on ways and means, it begins outlining of the entire pohev of. the house of representatives of the next Congress. - 1 The organization of the house and the setting of a definite - legislative pro gram, particularly as to tariff Revision, are the big problems. Indications are that the committee will be in almost continuous session from now until it re ports the first revision of a tariff sched ule to. the IX mncratic House in the ex tra session. , :. w v .

Friends of the territory believe that the new men coining into the next Congress, as a rule, will be favorable to . Statehood, and that both Territories will be admit ted. probably in the speciaf Bession. ;-. - It waspointed out by obnstilutipnal authorities here that in rase the Senate and House disagree as to . the time of adjournment of the coming extra ses sion, Pre ident Taft has the power to terminate it. - If both houses passed the Canadian Reciprocity bill, for instance, - the Re publican' senato might purposely 'disa gree with the Democratic House in or der to prevent tariff revision and give the Presidetifa chance to take -advantage of his constitutional preroga'ive The.

Y, I QCKERS HARLES BARKER ENDS HIS LIFE romiuent Carteret County CTtizen Committed Suicide in This -City Yesterday. There was intense excitement in this city yesterday morning when it became known that Mr. Charles Barxer, of Stel la, Carteret county, had committed sui cide in fail room at the Gaston Hotel by shooting himself in the forehead with a 32 calibre revolver, Mr. Barker came to the city on the previous day, presum ably in the best of health and without a care in the world. Going to the hotel he registered and was shown to a room. During the-early part of the day he went out, presumably to see some bus iness friend, but later it was learned that he had purchased a revolver from Mr. W. T. Hill while he was out, he al so secured a box of cartridges at the sa'me time. Returning to the hotel he went into the pool room and remained there for several hours. While in the pool room he sat over in one corner where he would not" attract so much at tention and seemed to be meditating up on some subject, and it is more than probable that he decided to end his ex istence while he was there. The first known of the horrible trag dy was shortly before 7 o'clock yester day morning. The room which Mr. Barker occupied was adjacent to that occupied by the waitresses. Shortly af ter 6 o'clock the head . waitress arose and called to one of the waitresses in another room, telling her it was time to arise, - Mr. Barker heard the call and thinking that it was for himself an swered. This was the last sound heard from the dead man's room until the re port of the revolver was heard. While tie waitresses were preparing to go down to the dining room the shot rang out. This of course excited them and one of them ran out into the hall and called for Mr. Foy Perkins, the stew ard, and told him that a man had killed himself in his room on that floor. Mr. Perkins at once went to thj door of Mr. Barker a room and attempted to open it, but finding it locked went down into the office and got Mr. Cox, the clerk, to secure his pass key . which unlocks all of the doors on that floor and the two returned. Upon again reaching the door Mr.-Cox climbed up and looked over the transom but failed to see the body of the deceased. The pass key was then inserted and the two men entered the room. Lying on his back in front of the lavatory with blood gushing out of a jagged wound almost in the center of his forehead they found Mr. Barker. The revolver was found lying in the bowl, directly under the place his hand must have rested-when the fatal shot was fired On the floor around the body was a pool of blood, while onJus under clothing, (he had not dressed in outside apparel,) were great splotches of blood. Everything in the room was in perfect order. . His clothing . was lying neatly folded on a chair, and his shoes just un der the side of the bed. Mr. Cox Immediately summoned a physician, who, upon his arrival, a few minutes later, informs! them that Mr. Barker was beyond help, that his death had been almost instantaneous.. . The Coroner was summoned and ju ry was empanelled who immediately went into the dead man's room and ex amined the body, after which they re tired to one of the lower rooms where the testimony of a number of employes of the hotel was taken. At the conclu sion of this the following verdict was rendered: The deceased came to his -death by a pistol shot wound inflicted by hirase f. There is no doubt that the dead man committed suicide but "there is much mystery surrounding the ease. s It Is well known that Mr. Barker was not financially embarrassed, having consid erable property and also an account with at least two banks. People who knew him in his every day life say that his home affairs always seemed to be agreeable, and that he was never better pleased than when he could be with his wife and three children. Taking these facta into consideration, those who knew him are certain that tha fatal shot was fired while the deceased was temporarily insane. But that- it was prmeditated is shown by th fact that he purchased the pistol and cartridges the previous day. He was not addicted to Strang drink. No letter, not or any other clue aa to why he killed him self was left by the deceased, and it is mora than probable that tha direct cause will never be known. ; An undertaker was secured and the body prepared for burial. ; Mr. C, C Morton, a brother-in-law of the deceased, who resides In Bridgeton was notified and took eharge ot tha re mains. Mr. Barker was about 40 years of age and was the ton of the late Dr. W. H barker who is well known la tbis city he having resided her before hi death. .Th deceased alao lived her for while befor his marriage several years ago but later moved to Carteret eounty. It is talil that he owns on of th fln tst farms in the section in which he lives and was well fixed financially, This is ths second suicide thatbas oc NEGRO GIRL FATALLY BURNED Fell Iuto Open Fire Placa and Re ceived Injuries From the Ef " fects of Which' Sho Died- A telephone message received in this city yesterday afternoon from Newport stated that a young daughter of Louis Young,- a negro farmer who lives a few miles from that place had been fatally burned at her borne yesterday morning, From what could be learned in regard to the matter it seems that the child's mother had built a Are in the living room of the house and after taking it from its bed and dressing it placed it on the floor in front of the fire and went out into another room Within a few minutes she heard the child scream ing and at once went to investigate. When she reached the room the little girl was enveloped in a mass of flames, her clothing having ignite! from the burning coals. The mother attempted to extinguish the flames and eventually succeeded but not before .the child had been so badly burned that she died a short while later. NOTICE.
