D. Allen. Husband, Under Arrest, Declares Cartridge Exploded Accidentally While He Was Cleaning an Old Revolver. While cleaning an old revolver yesterday morning in the kitchen of his home, 1223 Pleasant street southeast, Claude D. ALLEN, 35 years old, an employe of the bureau of engraving and printing, shot and seriously wounded his wife Mrs. Carrie E. ALLEN. She is in the Casualty Hospital, and her condition is critical. The bullet struck Mrs. ALLEN above the right eye, passed completely through the head, and emerged on the left side. The hospital physicians say there is only a. slight hope for her recovery. Mrs. ALLEN was standing at the kitchen sink, according to the story told by Mr. ALLEN. Mr. ALLEN says he was standing at a table in the center of the room cleaning a revolver and accidentally exploded a cartridge. His wife fell. Neighbors summoned the hospital ambulance and notified the police. ALLEN was arrested and is being held at the Anacostia police station pending the result of Mrs. ALLEN's condition. The only witness to the shooting was Claudia ALLEN a 3-year-old daughter. Two other children, Arthur, 7 years old and Eden ALLEN, 10 years old, had gone to the home of their grandmother, Mrs. Martha E. ALLEN, 1306 Monroe street. Powder marks on the forehead of the injured woman, the police say, raise the suspicion that the shooting was not accidental. They are making an investigation. A policeman has been stationed at the hospital to take any statement that Mrs. ALLEN may care to make if she regains consciousness. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

The increase in the vote standing of the many schools will be ample proof that new ideas are working well. The vote counters have been busy day after day keeping up with the avalanche of votes that have been coming in for the different schools. Another new club was organized yesterday. The Dent School Pathescope Club was organized at the home of Mrs. J. A. RODIER, a member of the Dent School Parents' Association, and many unique ideas are going to be used to get the greatest results. There are two different branches to this club, one for the purpose of collecting the coupons and another for the purpose of getting subscriptions. The captain of the coupon committee is Miss Jessie RYON, and the captain of the subscription committee is Glen NEWMAN. Claude BAILEY is a master of art when it comes to using tact and persuasion in getting votes for his school, and there is no doubt that his ability and stick-to-it-iveness will be very valuable to his club. Jewell Buford RODIER, a youngster 7 years of age, is crowding the older boys for first honors as a producer of votes. In just a few days he gathered up many thousand subscriptions and coupon votes. He is the youngest member of this club and promises that he will be ! heard from many times before the close of the campaign. There were fourteen girls and boys at this meeting and the fact that the weather conditions did not keep them from attending last night proves that they all mean to do their utmost to bring the Dent School in a winner. Master William ANDERSON, of the Tyler School, an industrious member, is doing great work toward keeping his school in the race. There were many representatives of the different committees in to cast votes for their respective schools yesterday, and one very interesting remark was dropped. One boy said that he liked to come and see the movies that were shown in the auditorium, but the half hour or hour that is spent here can be put to good use getting subscription votes, and after making this bright remark he was missed from the interesting little group. Come in today and tell me your little plans. I may have a suggestion or two that will help you secure the Pathescope for your school. Yours heartily, EDUCATIONAL EDITOR. -------------- Mott School Bought Picture Machine. Editor Post: I write to call your attention to an inaccuracy which appeared in last Sunday's issue of your paper. Among the school notes appeared a statement that a moving-picture machine had been purchased by the board of education for the use of Lucretia Mott School. This machine was purchased with funds accumulated by several entertainments given by the school. As the arduous efforts of the friends, parents, pupils and teachers of the school are discounted by this statement, I am sure that in the interest of justice to the above mentioned you will gladly correct this error. Thanking you in advance, I am, yours very truly. W. A. HAMILTON, Lucretia Mott School. March 3, 1915. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

After Ceremonial Members Sing Choruses and Officers and Degree Team Are Entertained at Dinner. The rolls of ten councils of the Royal Arcanum were increased by 117 last night, when that number of neophytes, after protracted adventures with the time-honored goat, and other agents destined to impress them with the gravity of the occasion, were administered the oath of fealty at the old Masonic Temple. Thirty-nine potential members failed to appear, from various causes, and will be initiated at a later date. While an increase of 117 is not a record breaker for the Arcanum, it is higher than any of the last few years. The only council failing to send up any candidates was the Francis Scott Key. The numbers supplied by the other nine were as follows: District, 89; National, 16; Oriental, 15; Capitol, 14; Kismet, 10; Ouray, 7; Municipal, 6; Analostan, 6; and Farragut, 5. Officers are highly pleased with the showing. Following the celebration of the star-chamber rites, several choruses were sung by the assembled company, which then dispersed. M. D. MERCER, grand regent, presided over the meeting and initiation. An informal dinner in his honor and that of Frank B. WICKERSHAM, supreme regent, was given at the Ebbitt later in the evening, tendered by the committee in change, consisting of Claude A. ZAPPONE, District Council; S. I. BESSELIEVRE, Capitol Council; E. P. GOODWIN, Analostan Council; Benjamin WHITE, Farragut Council; James H. RUTH, Francis Scott Key Council; G. D. SULLIVAN, Kismit Council; J. E. THOMAS, Municipal Council; F. W. WHITE, National Council; E. A. NEISS, Oriental Council, and H. G. LENZ, Ouray Council. For April 5 is announced the annual meeting of the grand council and chair officers of the subordinate councils at the Ebbitt. Officers will be elected, and installed the following day by Deputy Supreme Regent L. R. GEISENBERGER, of Lancaster, Pa. A banquet will wind up the celebrations. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

Withholds Comment Pending Receipt of Senate Committee Report. All comment on the report of the Senate committee which investigated the excise board was refused by members of the board yesterday. Copies of the report have not been furnished the board, it was said by Gen. Robert G. SMITH, chairman, and it therefore has no official information as to the findings. It was intimated by Gen. SMITH, however, that even when the board receives the report it will make no statement. Gen. SMITH refused to state whether the board will consider making any changes before next November in existing licenses said in the committee report to have been granted without due consideration for the law. Three hearings were held by the board yesterday on application for transfer of liquor licenses. A. E.

READY FOR COMING INQUIRY Executive Committee Announces Plan to Present Defense of Existing Fiscal Arrangement in District at Sessions of Congressional Investigators - Cooperation of Civic Organizations Urged. The readiness of the committee of one hundred to defend the present fiscal arrangement in the District by the presentation of facts to the joint committee of Congress appointed to make a study of the situation was announced last night by the executive committee at a meeting in the offices of the executive committee chairman, Henry B. F. MACFARLAND, in the Evans building. The committee announces its gratification at the failure of passage of laws aimed to modify the present fiscal system and at the opportunity for a careful study of the situation offered by the appointment of the joint committee. The following minutes were adopted: "The executive committee, created March 7, 1914, by the committe of one hundred, which had been appointed at a mass meeting representative of the entire community, aroused by the imminent danger of legislation which would destroy the 'half-and-half arrangement' of appropriations for the District of Columbia, is gratified by the failure of all such legislation in the two latter sessions of the Congress which expired on Thursday: Report to End Agitation. "The executive committee is gratified by the opportunity afforded by the creation of the joint committee of the Senate and House for a thorough and impartial consideration of the subject of the fiscal relation between the country and its National Capital and a report to Congress which by its wisdom and justice will end the harmful agitation of the question at least for many years to come. "The executive committee having for one year been engaged in the collection of the facts on the subject, and their presentation by members of the committee of 100 and other public-spirited citizens here and throughout the States to the consideration of senators and representatives, is ready at once to lay before the joint committee of the Senate and House all the facts, together with the official documents from which they have been taken, including reports of regular and joint committees of the two houses, decisions of the United States Supreme Court and United States census reports giving statistics of comparative assessments and taxation of cities. Suggests Union of Efforts. "The executive committee believes that there should be effective cooperation by the different [sp.] civic organizations of Washington which favor the continuance of the present fiscal relation between the United States and its National Capital, and suggests a conference of the official representatives of such organizations at an early date for the purpose of securing such cooperation in the presentation of facts to the joint committee of Congress." The executive committee is constituted as follows: Henry B. F. MACFARLAND, chairman; Thomas W. SIDWELL, secretary; A. LISNER, treasurer; Dr. Harvey W. WILEY, Col. George TRUESDELL, M. A. LEESE, Mrs. Wallace RADCLIFFE, Miss Janet E. RICHARDS, Richard B. WATROUS, Clarence J. OWENS, Dr. Charles W. RICHARDSON, B. H. WARNER, Charles S. BUNDAY, and S. W.
