High Army Medical Officers
Attend Arlington Burial
in Snow.
By the Associate* Press.
The Government honored with a
full military burial today Charles G.
Sonntag, Spanish-American War vet
eran. who voluntarily risked his life
in Dr. Walter Reed’s famous battle
against yellow fever.
High ranking officers of the Army
Medical Corps stood in falling snow
as Sonntag, who died at his Calhoun
County, S. C., farm last Friday at the
age of 64, was lowered into a grave in
Arlington National Cemetery.
Brig. Gen. Jefferson R. Keen, Army
Medical Corps, retired, recalled that
Sonntag was the last o/ the band of
men who submitted to the bite of the
yellow fever-bearing mosquito in Dr.
Reed’s experiment to prove the insect
carried the dread disease.
Had Last Experiment Fever.
"He had the last case of experiment
fever at Camp Lezear in Western Cuba
in 1901,” said Keen, who was chief
Army surgeon of Western Cuba at the
time. •
Dr. Reed's experiment consisted of
having volunteers submit themselves
to the bite of the mosquito, which the
Army physician believed caused the
disease, while other volunteers ex
posed themselves to filthy conditions,
which others at the time believed
caused the malady.
The volunteers bitten by the mos
quitoes contracted the disease, while
the others did not.
Sonntag recovered from the yellow
fever contracted from the mosquitoes.
He was rewarded with a commemo
rative medal.
Brother at Funeral.
Otto Sonntag. retired Washington
policeman, was the only member of
the veteran's family at the Arlington
rites. Sonntag, a brother, said the
widow, Mrs. Hattie Pou Sonntag, was
totally blind.
The rites were in charge of Lieut.
Col. O. J. Cohee, Port Myer chaplain.
Representative Fulmer, Democrat,
of South Carolina, who attended, an
nounced he would introduce a bill to
have Sonntag’s $125 a month Govern
ment pension paid to the widow for
j the remainder of her life.
Members of the Army Medical Corps
present included Maj. Gen. C. R. Rey
nolds, surgeon general of the Army;
1 Col. James E. Fife. Col. William R.
Sheep, Maj. Gen. Merritte Ireland and
| Col. E. E. Jones.

The world we do not see.
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring us there to be.
Sweet souls around us! Watch us still.
Press nearer to our side.

With gentle helping glide.
Let death between us be as naughty
A dried and vanished stream;
Your joy be the reality.

EVERETT ANDREWS COLSON.
AIDE MAS!
Everett A. Colson, “Key
Man” in Crisis, Expires
in 0. C. Hospital.
Everett Andrews Colson, 52, former
financial adviser to Emperor Halle
Selassie of Ethiopia, died last night
after a long illness in George Washing
ton Hospital.
Mr. Colson, “key man'* in the Italo
Ethiopian crisis, had been in the hos
pital since Christmas. He had been
ill for some time while abroad, having
overtaxed his heart while serving the
Emperor in many capacities.
He worked strenuously before the
League of Nations for the Ethiopian
cause, several times arising from a
sick bed w hen his services were needed.
The American was called to Ethiopia
by Haile Selassie in 1930, while serving
as deputy customs collector in Haiti.
Previously, he had seen service as di
rector of the Philippine Civil Service
Bureau and in the United States Con
sular Service in Canton, China.
Author of Notes to League.
Mr. Colson, it is said, wrote the notes
sent to the League of Nations by the
Ethiopian ruler when efforts were be
ing made to persuade Italy against
further invasion. Several times he was
the Emperor's sole adviser, talcing over
additional duties during absence of
other counselors.
He became ill in Addis Ababa in
the Pall of 1935. With Italy’s victory
and the flight of Haile Selassie, Mr.
Colson,, accompanied by his wife,
went to Alexandria, Egypt, in an effort
to recuperate. A month later, the Em
peror telephoned him to come to his
side at once.
Heeding the summons. Mr. Colson
collapsed a month later but was able
to attend the League session in Geneva
last July.
G. 17. Law Student Graduate.
A native of Warren, Me., Mr. Colson
was graduated from Georgetown Uni
versity Law School and began his
career in the Consular Service in the
Philippines. During the World War
he served under the auditor of the
War Department in Prance.
Mr. Colson was a member of the
American Philatelic Society and the
Washington Philatelic Society for
many years.
Surviving him are his widow,
Mrs. Anna Johnston Colson, who is
staying here with her sister, Mrs. An
neca Johnston, 1335 N street; a son.
Edward, a student at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, and his step
mother. Mrs. Elizabeth Gillstrapp of
California.
Funeral arrangements were to be
announced later.
SELASSIE SENDS MESSAGE.
LONDON. February 24 UP).—Em
peror Halle Selassie of Ethiopia today
sent a message of sympathy to Mrs.
Everett A. Colson, whose husband,
former adviser to the defunct Ethio
pian government, died in Washing
ton last night.
Colson's health was "broken by the
Italian conquest of Ethiopia," the
Negus said, “but he continued to serve
the cause of right and justice until
his strength was exhausted and his
life was sacrificed.”
The message was signed “Haile
Selassie, I, Emperor.”
The dethroned Emperor instructed
his personal physician. Dr. M. Bayen.
to represent him at Colson’s funeral
and lay a wreath on the grave. Dr.
Bayen, it was understood, is now in
Washington, D. C.

TARIFF OH STEEL
MAYFORCE MS
Miss Perkins Makes Hint of
Squeezing industry on
Navy Contracts.
BT the Associates Press.
The steel industry and the Gov
ernment were playing a waiting game
today in the matter of bids for Navy
materials, with the indirect warning
by Secretary of Labor Perkins that
the industry’s tariff protection might
be used as an instrument of persuasion
being the latest development.
The industry has refused to bid for
Navy contracts because of the Walsh
Healey act, limiting the work week to 1
40 hours in plant filling Government
orders.
The Labor Secretary, speaking to
reporters yesterday, said she had
heard reports Congress might be
asked to remove the tariff. High duties
have given the domestic mills almost j
a monopoly on the American steel
market, she said.
She added quickly, however, that
she had “great hopes” several steel
concerns would offer to supply the
Navy within 48 hours.
The industry’s attitude has changed
somewhat, she said, since it learned
that employes could work more than
40 hours if they were paid time and
one-half for overtime.
Work on six destroyers and three
submarines has been held up by lack
of steel bids.
Miss Perkins also told a press con
ference she had drafted a tentative
bill to regulate Wages and hours in
industry generally, but that this was
being used only as a basis for discus
sion. She said she expects sweeping
changes before the measure goes to
Congress.
A seasonal decline in employment in
many industries last month cost
710,000 workers their jobs, she re
ported.

WOMAN’S DEATH HELD
NOT DUE TO ACCIDENT
A coroner’s jury decided yesterday
the death of Mrs. Margaret B Tew, 90,
of 2953 McKinley street, was due to
natural causes, and not to injuries
which she had told relatives she suf
fered January 22 in a taxicab acci
dent.
The jury was told the death was
caused by pneumonia and exhaustion.
Mrs. Tew, who died Friday, had com
plained to Mrs. Edith Lee, a daugh
ter. on January 22 that a taxicab in
which she was riding had stopped
suddenly, throwing her to the floor.
The verdict automatically exoner
ated Louis Lionhart, 1333 Kenyon

held pending action of the coroner in
the case.
