TAKES HIS 01 LIFE N s 4 William B. Diehl Despondent Over Loss of Position. SWALLOWS CARBOLIC ACID Frantic Mother Crawls Through Transom Above His Door. HER LEG FRACTURED BY FALL Coroner Directs Autopsy Upon Body of Young Man, Disclosing Cause of Death. Loi-s ol position arid indulgence in al coholic stimulants are paid to have caused William B. Diehl. a bookkeeper, twenty nine yea>"f< of ape. to take carbolic acid yesterday afternoon. Just when he took the fataJ dose is not known, but his el derly mother. Mr*. Mary Diehl. found him dead'on tli*> floor in his room at. the family home, r>o Rhode Island avenue northeast, shortly before ." o'clock. There was no odor of carbolic acid in th* room, and It was not until Deputy Coroner Glazebrook had performed an autopsy that the cause of his death was known. Mrs. Diehl. the frantic mother of the young man, climbed into hfs room ?hrough the transom of the door and while doing so fell and sustained a frac ture of her leg. She was stretched upon the floor, clinging to the dead body of her son. when Dr. A. C Miller of 1601 North Capitol street responded to a call, and she remained there until after the arrival of Coroner Nevitt. Then she was re moved to another room and given surgi cal treatment, relatives refraining from telling her of the cause of the son s death. Tried to Comfort Mother. When the son returned home yesterday about 1 o'clock and told his mother of the Joss of his position he told- her not to wor ry. that he had thought of making a change and that he would soon have a better-position. It is now believed he had then taken the dose which proved fatal so shortly afterward, having diluted the fluid so that it did not become at once effective. Mrs. Diehl went to her son's room to see if he were 111 and In need of anything. She found the door locked and could not get a response to her calls. Standing on a chair and looking through the transom, she saw the body of her son stretched upon the floor, although she had no idea that life was extinct. Even after falling from the transom and breaking her leg she did her best to restore life. Dr. Miller discovered nothing suspicious about the death of Diehl, but as he could not give the necessary certificate he summoned the coroner. An Autopsy Necessary. Dr. Nevitt was unable to detect the odor of carbolic acid or other poison, and it was necessary to have an autopsy per formed >n order to determine the exact cause ?of death. He found a bottle partly filled with whisky, but there was no odor of acid about it. The police of the tenth precinct were summoned to the house to make an investigation. They learned but little, except that the young man had been seen looking at the con tents of a small bottle before he reached heme. The deceased wu well known in local musical circles. He was an expert pian ist and his services were In demand dur ing the social season. His father was Capt. William Diehl, who served as ad jutant In a corrfpany of Pennsylvania In fantry during the civil war. and who died several jears ago. The body of the deceased was re moved to Wright's undertaking establish ment, 1337 10th street, where the au topsy was performed. Relatives in Pennsylvania were advised last night of the death of the young man. They are expected to reach here late this after noon, and until they come the funeral arrangements will not be completed. 1WMT ROOSEVELT TROPHIES SMITHSONIAN OFFICIALS FLAN FINE PUBLIC EXHIBIT. Eighty-two skins of wild animals, the first installment of the Rooseveit collec tion from Africa, have been received in New York, and the officials of the Smith sonian are now .waiting anxiously for their receipt here. It is generally supposed that they will be sent through the port of New York, as Is the case with most of the foreign ex hibits intended for the Smithsonian, though there is a possibility that they may be shipped through in bond to Georgetown and examined by the col lector of customs there. In either case it will take several days for the collection to pass through the customs and sev eral days more for the skins to reach Washington, as they probably will be shipped by freight. The collection, so far as known, is en tirely in casks, each skin having been salted down soon after it was secured in the field. The specimens were temporar ily packed and salted where they were killed, and Mr. Loring was sent to Mom basa to superintend final shipment to the United Stater. The collection is a large one, some of the specimens being represented by but a single skin, though there are seven lions, which is an unusually large ^>ag, and will greatly add to the Smithsonian collection, where there is not a single specimen on exhibition at present. To Be Tanned. When the collection Is received here the skins will be carefully tanned and pre pared for mounting. This will be a large work and. may necessitate the employ ment of additional men. None of the specimens will be minted for some time to come, snd the arranging of the larger groups may await the return of Mr. Loring and Dr. Olven, who are with the expedition. It has been suggested by some of the museum officials that the whole of the mounted collection should be la stalled for a time at least in the new Smithsonian building, where it could h* shown to the public as the Roosevelt I collection. No decision lias yet been reached as to the division of the spoils between the museum and Col. Rooseveit. While Mr. Roosevelt undertook to secure a number of zoological specimens for the National Museum, it is generally supposed that he will wish to keep a few skins as personal mementos. This division wiil of course have to await his return. Moles and Rodents. There Is a very large collection of moles, rodents and other small animals, the work of Dr. M earns, who makes a special ty of this sort of thing; but these skins will be useful mainly for scientific study, and will not add much to the exhibition collection. The Smithsonian Institution made a formal announcement of the re ceipt of the Roosevelt collection in New York as follows: "The Smithsonian Institution has re ceived notice ?of the arrival in New York from Nairobi, from the Smith sonian African expedition under Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of twenty barrels of large mammal skins In brine. The ship ment. which comprises Col. Roosevelt's first month's collection, consists of eighty two specimens, as follows: Lion, 7; leopard. 1; cheetah. 1: spotted hyena.
