RE-OPEN OLD DISPUTE. WASHINGTON, March 1. The Wiley-McCabe row was again in evidence on the floor of the house today when further consideration of the agriculture appropriation bill came up. Declaring that Solicitor McCabe la holding an office that does not exist, Representative Cullop of Indiana, attacked the provision of the bill, appropriating money for the solicitor's salary. He said congress never created the office. He told the house that in 1907 14,500 was appropriated for the solicitor, but the mere appropriation of money could not create an office, and the office ceased to exist at the end of the first year. Representative Lamb and Representative Mann upheld the item. The minority leader declared that the office had been established by law by the insertion of the word, "hereafter," in items appropriating money for this office in the past.

WHILE SLEEPING A

MAII NEARLY SHOT Bullet Passes Through Wall Few Inches Above C. Heinbaugh's Head. A nickle-steel 32 calibre bullet, crashed through the wall of the bedroom occupied by Charles Heinbaugh and wife 600 Sheridan street last night about 10:20, smashing through the wall within a few inches of the sleeping man's head, cutting through the door of a closet on the opposite side of the wall, and was stopped in its oourse only by striking a heavy beam. The unknown marksman has not been caught. Heinbaugh slept on and his wife who woke at the time did not suspect the cause of the strange noise which sent the pet dog howling in terror beneath the bed. Mrs. Heinbaugh did not know of the shooting which nearly caused his death until informed of the occurrence by his wife this morning. This morning when Mrs. Heinbaugh made the bed, she noticed a hole in the wall, and investigation showed that the bullet passed within a few inches of her sleeping husband's head. Chief of Police Gormon made an investigation. It is believed the bullet must have come from the direction of the C. and O. railroad, near the corner of North D and the railroad. Neighbors heard four shots, fired about 10:20, but stated the shots came from directly in front of the house. The bullet, however, to have struck the house where it did, on the east side a yard above the roof of the veranda, must have been fired from the east bank of the Whitewater river. The bullet was fired from an automatic pistol. Several young men who came home late to Pairview are suspected of being the perpetrators of the shooting, but no information as to their identity can be secured. SCHOOL INSPECTED Some minor suggestions for improving the sanitary conditions of the building are being sent to the principal of the Dublin school by Dr. J. E. King. The county health commissioner inspected that public school yesterday and reports that health conditions there as well as in all other parts of the county, can be perfected with only slight changes. Dr. King is quite pleased with the general condition in schools throughout the county.

PROFESSOR OEHIIIS

THINKS ROOSEVELT HAS MADE MISTAKE Prominent Member of Earlham Faculty Friendly to Ex-president, but Opposed to a Third Term. RICHMOND HAS MAN EQUAL TO COLONEL Prof. Dennis Says Roosevelt Is Not Only Man Qualified for the Office Lauds Washington. President Kelley, of Earlham College, who is publicly advocating the renomination of President Taft. yesterday informed the Palladium correspondent at the college that he would not be permitted to take straw vote of the students in the chapel, as the correspondent had planned to do. Prof. David W. Dennis, of Earlham college, believes that Col. Roosevelt bat made a mistake in deciding to accept the nomination for the presidency. In a communication Prof. Den nis says he has always been friendly to the ex-president but that he is not Uoosevelt's only friend who regrets hie action in becoming a candidate. Dr. Dennis also declares in his communication that Roosevelt is not the only man who can best serve the coun try, declaring that Indiana has two distinguished sons who can do everything that Roosevelt can do. He further states that one is a "distinguished citizen of Richmond." In speaking of tbe third-term idea Dr. Dennis dwells at length upon a contrast between Roosevelt's and Washington's views on the question. The communication" follows: Prof. Dennis' Views. "Col. Roosevelt seems to hold that the reason for the custom of only one re-election of the president is that he may not be tempted to use the patronage of his office for his second renomination and re-election and thajt not being President mrw, ho may property become a candidate, or at least, accept the office. This was not, however, Washington's reason; Washington established the custom at a time when the use of presidential patronage was unthinkable. Washington did not turn bis hand to secure either first or second term. "The use of his great office to help him renominate himself which Taft is using, which Roosevelt used before him, which McKinley used, and especially Harrison, is a quite modern invention. "Washington could no more have had this reason for renouncing a third term than be could have used smoke less powder. ' Washington's reason was the duty, in a republic, of patriotic self-renun ciation. He lives in art, in histdry and fcoug because for one reason he did his duty. "Roosevelt's position leads to this: a president may force his renomination once; he must then rest for four ;.cars after which he may serve eight note years, but must then rest four years, etc., as long as he lives. "The fact is that the use of presiden tial patronage has become -so notorious in controlling the nomination that the l.eople for years have been looking from time to time to a change in the constitution extending the term to six years and making the President ineligible to renomination. Tb reason urged by Col. Roosevelt against three ruccessive terms has become long s'nee the custom of 8 years only was established the chief reason against on-reelection. "If I am the one man who can best erve the country now , says Col. Roosevelt. This humiliating sentence he should have left for some one else to write. It is not true. Indiana has two distinguished citizens . who could do all be can do; one of these is a distinguished citizen of Richmond. Colonel Defeated Hughes. "If Roosevelt had remained out of the ring, bat and all, four years ago tne people would have nominated Charles E. Hughes. "If the President may not properly use the great influence of bis office to renominate himself for a third term how is it or was it proper tor him to it for his then best friend, Mr. Taft. "I have always been a friend of Col. Roosevelt. I am not his only friend who regrets his action in becoming a candidate. "I lately saw at Annapolis the paintin? of Washington surrendering his commission to Congress at the close of the war. If Roosevelt had Washington's restraint how it would ornament tha "big stick." HOLDUP MAN TAKEN BACK TO NEW YORK f National Newt Association NEW YORK. March 1.

A MUZZLE FAMINE HAS JEN LIFTED New Supply Received in the County and Quarantine Can Be Maintained.

With the receipt of a new supply of muzzles by hardware dealers in all sections of Wayne county. County Health Commissioner J. E. King reports this morning that the sixty dajr ouarantino ban on uogs is being universa 11 y observed. County officials were quite puzzl?d over the situation resulting from the muzzling order after it had been issued. The sheriff and his deputies jwere ready to start on a campaign to kill off all the unmuzzled dogs, but postponed this action when they found that the rabies epidemic raging throughout the state had completely exhausted the supply of muzzles. Manufacturers reported that never before had the demand for muzzles been so great as at present, and that they were unable to make the wire devices as rapidly as the demand warranted. It was feared for a short time that special action would have to be taken to suspend the quarantine, but with the arrival of a new supply the county officials are again preparing to shoot unmuzzled dogs, and prosecute their owners in court. A trip through tbe western part of the county yesterday afternoon showed Dr. King that his order is bairjg well observed in that community. It is understood that residents elsewhere in Wayne county are also clapping muzzles on their canines. A report from the state bacteriological laboratory yesterday stated conclusively that Gus Fryar's dog, which bit little Jane Hawekotte some time ago, was unmistakably infected with rabies. FELL UNDER TRAIN; LEG WAS CRUSHED Charles Shank, living at 1405 North G street, is confined at the Miami Valley hospital at Dayton, Ohio, recovering from the loss of a portion of his right foot, which was badly mashed when he slipped on the ice and fell under the wheels of a freight train at Dayton, Wednesday evening. Shank was beating his way into Dayton on the freight, and in alighting his foot slipped on a piece of ice and he fell beneath the cars Although suffering much from the injury, he hobbled two squares to an engine house, where the ambulance was called and removed him to the hospital. Amputation of a portion of his foot was necessary. His recovery is assured. .. , Shank is a plasterer by trade, but has been out of work this winter and after assisting in putting up ice be went to Dayton to secure work there. GABRIELLE RAY IS QUIETLY MARRIED Wedded to Eric Loder After "Leaving Him at the Church" Yesterday. (National News Association) LONDON, March 1. Gabrielle Ray, the beautiful English musical comedy actress, whose non-appearance at Windsor Roman Catholic church, where she was to have been married to Eric Loder, a rich young aristocrat, yesterday caused reports to be circulated that she had jilted the scion, was quietly married to Lcier at Windsor this morning. For 24 hours titled society had been gossiping over Gabrielle's probable reason for leaving young Loder waiting at the church. Her explanation that she was ill did not satisfy because the bridal party waited for four hours during which time no word came from the fair Gabrielle. Miss Gabrielle was married in the same church and by the same priest who stood several hours in his vestments yesterday while a fashionable congregation gathered material for gossip which will enliven society for many a day. According to friends of Miss Ray she decided at the last minute that she wanted to be married quietly and not in tbe presence of a critical congregation of dazzling society folk. Accordingly she remained away yesterday and did not communicate with night when arrangements for a quiet wedding today were made. In the meantime many were wondering whether the wedding really would occur or not and whether Gabrielle had returned Mr. Loder's S100.000 worth of wedding gifts. Bets were made with odds in favor of Mr. Loder, that he would yet triumph over the apparent awakening of his sweetheart's love. Those who bet in favor of Loder cashed in amidst noisy congratulations. BIDS FOR BENCHES A Richmond firm, Fryar and Co. who manufacture park beaches have been furnished specincatioss for the 20 benches which the board of works and council decided to pUce in the paries of this city this year.

BRITISH REGIMENT TRAPPED

BY THE WOOLEII STRIKE IS BROUGHT TO CLOSE Trust anJ Independent Comr panies Grant wage Increases to Strikers. (National Xetvs Association) LAWRENCE, Mass., March l.The American Woolen company, known as tht Woolen Trust, at the head of which is W. M. Wood, gave in today to the strikers in the textile mills. There is to be a raise in pay of at le;ist 5 per cent, and in tho cases of the more poorly paid operatives it is expected the increase will reach 10 per cent. There is to be no liscrimlnation against the strikers in the reinstatement of employes. This action of the American wool company was announced after a meeting of the directors today, and It affects all of the thirty three mills throughout the New England states and involves nearly 30,000 wage earners. This action followed that of tbe Arlington mills, which posted a simijar announcement at their mills in Lawrence today. Then the United States Worsted company made a similar offer. It is expected the Pacific mills, employ ing about 9,000 operatives will also grant concessions. The American Woolen company riills in Lawrence are the Washington the Woods and the Ayer. They employ 11,000 operatives here, and their mills were considered the key to the strike. ASSESSORS TODAY HOLDJOHFEREIICE Effort to Reduce Rate on Personal Farm Proper- i ty Was Defeated. The attempt to lower the rate of assessment on personal: farm- -property by assessors who own such property featured the session of the township assessors and their deputies when they met this morning at the office of County Assessor .William Matthews for the purpose of adopting rates for assessment on personal property and chattels. In some cases these efforts were defeated. An effort was also made to increase the rates on typewriters, adding machines, cash registers, pianos, organs and -automobiles, but after a great deal of discussion the rates were fixed at about the same as last year. Prior to the discussion upon the rates for assessment,, County Auditor Bowman urged the assessors to watch their work carefully in order to avoid mistakes. He said that a number of errors occurred last year, although there were not as many as in previ ous years. Auditor Bowman instructed the assessors in indexing the books properly, and to assess all additional improvements which have been made to real estate since last year's assessment. He also said that bank statements should be given outpromptly as they are due at the auditor's office by March 25. Auditor Bowman stated that the assessors should make a diligent search for all notes. He said that notes would be assessed at their real value instead of three-fourths value, as has been done In previous assessments. The question arose as to whether a steam heating plant installed in a house since the last assessment could be considered as an additional improvement. It was decided that it should be so considered. Although a law passed in 1852 by the state legislature, and which remains unrepealed upon the state statutes says that members of fire departments shall be exempt from taxation, the assessors today decided that since the law was enacted for the purpose of encouraging volunteer firemen it should not be enforced any longer. The assessors started on their work immediately following the close of the meeting. Another meeting will be held one week from Saturday for the purpose of receiving further instructions and discussing points which may arise. Meetings probably will be held from time to time during tho seventyfive days assessing.
