SHOT A BOY,
hut the Gatekeeper Claims That 1t
Was an Accident,

nut the Gatekeeper Claims That 1t
Was an Accident.
Joseph s. Spaight, an elderly man, who
Is employed as gatekeeper at the South
capitol street crossing of the Baltimore
ana Potomac railroad, used his pistol la st
night for the purpose of frightening off a
crowd of boys who had annoyed him. But
the bullet was not buried in the ground
as the old man had intended 1t should be.
instead of going where he intended to send
II, the piece of lead entered the right breast
OF Albert Lee. a sixteen -year-old boy. who
nves at 9O6 1-2 street southwest, and in
nicted painful and perhaps serious
wound. The patient was removed to Prov
idence Hospital, where DR.. Bayne probed
Tor the ball, but failed to find it, Spaight.
VINO Is sixty years old, was arrested by
fonceman Smith and held on a charge of
assault. The scene of the shooting Is an
important crossing and the entire atten-
tlon or the gatekeeper is required to pro-
tect drivers and pedestrians from injury
by passing trains. He complains that the
place mas been made a play ground by a
crowd of boys from 1-2 street, who have
annoyed and seriously interfered with his
duties. Last night he fired the shot he
says to Brighten off the boys, and he
thinks the bullet struck a stone and glanc-
ed in the direction of the boys One Of the
boys told a Star reporter that the police
would not let them play on 1-2 street and
they went over near the railroad, where
they thought they would not interfere with
any one and where the police would not
interfere with them.
The case could not be heard today be-
cause Of the boys condition.

QUESTION OF CORPORATIONS.
Arguments on a Liquor License Point
Made Today.

An Interesting argument was made before
the Commissioners this morning by Mr..
Simon Wolf in answer to the opinion rem
dered by Attorney Thomas as to whether
corporation is person as contemplated
in the law passed March 3, 1893, regulating
the sale of liquor. Mr.. Wolf held that in
the celebrated case of Paul against state of
virginia, Judge Field held that a corpora
ton was not a citizen. He also cited the
cases decided by Judge Story. and Kent s
commentaries in the same line. He claimed
broadly that the attorney for the District
mad not answered any of the questions
asked in his brief and requested to have
the papers re-referred, with the further re-
quest that he answer as to the right of the
Commissioners to allow the withdrawal OF
a name to an application after the same
had been presented. Section } of the Ii
cense law made it compulsory to present
with the application the necessary number
Oh signatures. which in this instance had
oeen complied with, and a paper once filed
with the Commissioners could no more be
Withdrawn than a paper filed in court The
commissioners said they would discuss the
matter and II not agreeing with Mr.. Wolf
would send the papers to their attorney.

TO SUE THE HOTEL,
Mr.. Collins Attributes His Sons Death
to Negligence.

u
Mr.. d. H. Collins of this city, father of
Perry Collins. who, with James Salmon was
asphyxiated by escaping gas in their room
at the St. James Hotel, st. Louis. Novem-
Der 10, Is in St. Louis having gone there
for the purpose Of bringing suit against the
St James Hotel. the management of which,
he claims. is to blame for the condition of
the defective gas fixture which brought
about his boys death.
The St Louis Star-Sayings, speaking of
Mr.. Collins visit says:
Mr.. Collins. on the occasion of his first
visit to st. Louis, whittier he was sum-
mOned by the terrible news Of his boys
death, expressed his determination of su-
ing the hotel people for Islander on ac-
count Of the aspersions thrown out regard
ing the habits of his son, who was said
TO have been under the influence of liquor
on the night in question. Mr.. Collins has
now RECONSTRUCTED his decision and will
sue instead for criminal negligence
The attention which the case has ex-
cited is something more than local The
question of the condition of the gas fix
lures is not the only one involved. Medi-
cal experts say that had the door been
forced as late as o'clock in the afternoon
the young men could have been resusci-
tated- Mr.. Collins has the statements of
I-dulnS nOtel managers tnStt IL is an lnVlO-
liable rule with them to investigate cases
where guests remain locked in their rooms
beyond a certain length of time. These
hotel managers assert that the leaving of
an occupied room uneXamined for twenty
four hours should be an iTpossibility. Mr..
Collins Is in receipt of letters from all over
the country. written by people who insist
that the time has come for vigorous cru
sade against defective and clumsy gas fix
lures In hotels. In Baltimore the health au-
thorities have taken up the matter, and
have circulated notices in all hotels in
tended to put a check on deaths from es-
Gaping gas.
The case is likely to be a celebrated one
in thai 1t Will go very thoroughly into var
ious questions Of responsibility in hotel
management.

SHIPS AND DEUCES.
Unusual Interest Manifested in
Switchboard.

Switchboard.
Within the past few weeks there has
been an unusual advance in the sport of
SWITCHBOARD. The game is one of the
most interesting and exciting among
the indoor sports, and the places which
are supplied with shuffieboards are
reaping rich harvest from the purses
of the enthusiastic players. One of the
most interesting in the series of events
which have occurred in the past few
days has been the Switchboard contest
for the championship of the city of st.
Paul, which has been played between
RoXey Reber and j. .Ahern. The games
have been played consecutively in the
rooms of the Reber Switchboard club
and in the rooms of the PhRnic Athletic
club. The fourth game in the series for
the championship was played Friday
evening in the rooms of the former
club, and the last game, the fifth, will
be played in the rooms of the latter
named club Tuesday evening. AS
Ahern has lead of As points against
his opponent, it is expected that he will
be the winner of the contest. The
match has been for stake of S25 side
and the championship of the city.
The winner will be compelled to
meet all corners who have achieved
reputation as players in the game and
protect the championship.
Within the course of few days there
will commence one of the most extern
sive and interesting contests in the
game of Switchboard ever played in the
city of st. Paul, or, probably, in any
other city in the Northwest. The con-
test will be for individual scores, count
ing the total number of points made,
and the winners will receive elegant
prizes. The contest is gotten up by the
Reber Switchboard club, and there
will be number of handsome prizes
offered. Three elegant diamond medals
will be given as the first, second and
third prizes, and there will be other
prizes given for the next best scores. A
small forfeit will be demanded of
the contestants to insure their carry
ing out their agreement to play, and as
a partial payment for the costly medals.
The cost of the medals will be Sl95.
The first prize consists of an
elegant two-bar solid gold badge.
Down the center Their will be shuttle
board represented with stone in the
middle containing a large letter IA"
There will be nine diamonds in the
letter. The workmanship on the med
ais will De of the finest quality and the
design is appropriate to the occasion.
The second prize will consist of single
bar badge in the form of four shuttle
board stones. Two large diamonds will
decorate the center. The third prize

Switchboard Is Coming to the
Front as an Exciting
Local PaStime.

The DAILY GLOBE bowling tourna-
ment continues the absorbing theme of
controversy among the youthful ath-
letes of st. Paul When the fact is
realized that the membership of the
clubs that are participating in the
tournament aggregates something like
100, one can imagine that there is no
lack of interest IN numerical sense.
1t looks at this time as though the
University Avenue club has cinch on
finishing first, and the COlumbias sec
ond. Still, there may be surprises in
store. For instance, speaking of sur
prISeS, the Calumet Social club has the
highest number of pins won and still
