FATHER SHOT BT HIS DAUGHTER Girl is Thought to Have Lost Her Mind Aa Result of an Operation. LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 5.—Wil liam Stitzel. 75, who was shot by his daughter Anna Lee Stitzel, 36, be cause she "wanted to put him out if his misery," died today. Until his last breath he sought to console the woman. As he lay dying at the hospital, Anna knelt beside his cot sobbing. "There, there, now. don't cry," Stitzel said as he stroked her hair "I know you did what you thought best." "I Intended to kill my father and my brother John," Miss Stitzel told the police, who arrested her imme diately after her father's death. "I felt like I ought to kill them. I did not in tend to kill myself, but expected to take my punishment." The police say she shot her father under the delusion that she was doing an act of mercy. Stitzel, a civil war veteran, had suffered from rheuma tism contracted from wounds received in the battle of Lookout Mountain. He was shot as he sat In a chair in a bed room in the rear of his store here. His daughter rushed into the store, and according to the story, told the police, she cried: "My God, I have shot pop. His suf fering is over. I had no one to care for him. The bullet was a blessing." Physicians who have been attending Miss Stitzel. say her act was un doubtedly one of insanity. Several weeks ago she underwent an operation for tumor of the breast land she has been a victim of con stantly increasing melancholia. Physi I clans had warned her family that she would go insane if this continued. Her trouble took the form of an excess pity f»r her father. She Almost Fainted.

Establishment of a government bureau that would prevent interstate commercial agencies from speculating in crude products was suggested by Representative Taggart of the com mittee, in a discussion with former Secretary of the Interior Walter Fisher, one of the witnesses. Tag gart asked if it was not possible for the government to establish such a bureau, and give it authority to pro hibit speculation on interstate busi ness. "Absolutely. That subject has been largely discussed and seems to be a most logical solution for the trust problem," Fisher answered. Publication, competition and regula tion are the three agencies of relief against trust control of the beef In dustry, Edward L. Burke of the American Live Stock association, told the committee. He asked that the federal trade commission be authorized to Investigate the entire beef product situation, following the rourse of the live stock from the farm to the block. Fisher and Taggart engaged in an argument over the value of publicity. Taggart criticising publicity methods. "Publicity is of the ntmost import ance in this case," Fisher said. "The packers say they are only making cer tain profits. The publicity of the facts of whether they are making bister profits would be very impor tant."
