A double shooting occurred at Rossiyn
last night. Nelson Irving, sixty-eight
years of age, preacher was shot in the
head and seriously wounded. Hester
Irving, his step daughter, aged nineteen
years. was shot in the left arm, and Kin
kade Irving, son of the wounded man, Is
lodged at the Alexandria County JAN, At
Fort Myer Heights, on charges OF assault
with intent to KILL All parties to the af-
fair are cclored, and for several years
have resided at Rosslyn. Kinkade Irving
was arrested Immediately after the shoot
iLg.
The trouble took place at the Irving
home, on the outskirts of Rosslyn. Mel
son Irving and his wife, for months past,
claim to have been greatly annoyed by
Kinkade Irving, who lived with them. The
latter is a strapping negro, about twenty
one years of age. Once before, it is said,
the prisoner has served time in jail for
assault At various times, according TO
his father, Kinkade has stirred up dis
sension at the Rosslyn home About
O'Clock last night Nelson Irving was in a
rear room of the house. He started TO go
to the front porch to get the resn ar.
Kinkade Irving met his father in the front
apartment of the house and was asked
about bench on the porch. He gave
surly answer and began quarrel The
son blocked the way of his father. drew a
small revolver and fired pointblank at
the old man. The father fell in the front
doorway, and was hastily dragged out on
the porch by his tep-dausnter, Hester
Irving. who called for help. As the young
woman left the porch to summon aid, Kim
kade followed and shot her through the
left arm.
Neighbors called Deputy Sheriff Marcy
and he placed Kinkade Irving uncer ar
rest. removing him TO the county jail in a
| wagon. A second wagon was secured and
| both Nelson and Hester Irving were re-
moved to the Georgetown University Hos
pital. After treatment the woman return
ed home. The old man was placed In
ward. He had been shot in the head, the
| bullet entering below the left temple, and
! lodging the feshy part OF the neck. lie
will probably recover.
Kinkade Irving. who is charged with the
shooting, was formerly employed at the
grounds of the Washington Golf Club,
| across the river. Deputy Sheriff Marcy
| and friends OF the injured man give the
prisoner a bad name. He could not be
seen last night. bet will appear this morn
ing before Justice Smith for hearing.

AGE NO FACTOR.
Grounds on Which Return of n Dog
Pound Fee Was Asked.

Marion Ryan recently wrote to the
Health officer requesting the release of
four months old puppy without the pay
ment of a pound fee. She states that she
was not aware that a dog Sc young was
required to have a tag but that she in
tended to secure a tag before August /,
1900.
In reporting upon the matter, at the re-
quest of the Health Officer, the poundmas-
ter states that the dog in question was
captured on o Street, between North Cap
itol and First Streets northwest, without
collar or tag. The poundmaster states tnat
the dog appears to be a cross breed be-
tween a collie and setter and apparently
is nearly full grown, being about two feet
high.
DR. W. C. Woodward, the Health Officer,
in transmitting the report OF the pound
master to the Commissioners, took occa-
sion 10 say that the law is silent as to the
age Mt which dog must arrive before il
is necessary for it to have license and
tag In the case under consideration, how
ever DIR. Woodward expressed the view
that inasmuch as the dog was practically
fuIl grown. his capture was not only with
in the letter, but within the spirit Of the
law and In consequence, he recommends
that the request be not granted.
n "a understood that the Commissioners
will approve the RECOMMENDATION of the
Health Officer.

CUT INSURANCE Rates
Reduction on Preferred Risks to TO
Into Effect at Once.
Decision of the Board of Fire I'm
deryyriters-Withd of Local
Companies From the Association
Precipitutcs the Action-A Lively
War for Business Anticipated.

The Board of Fire Insurance Underwrit-
ers yesterday afternoon, at a formal meet
ing, established cut of 40 per cent in the
rate on all preferred risks in the District
of Columbia, to go into effect Immediately.
The rate hereafter will be Is cents on SlOo
instead of % cents as heretofore TINS
cut is in accordance with the decision
of the underwriters two weeks ago, ex-
cept that the present decision is that the
cut shall be made Immediately, instead OF
on September Is, as at first proposed
There was some opposition to the action
taken. but the statement is made by ON
GERS of the association that large ma
jority of those present at the meeting
were in favor of it 1t seemed to be the
general opinion that the action was the
only logical one after the withdrawal from
the association of nearly all the local IN
surance companies. When 1t was decided
to make the cut, but to postpone 1t until
next September, it was said that this was
for the purpose of allowing the local COM
panies to adjust their business to the new
lower rate, as nearly all Of their business
is in this class of risks. Now that they
have resigned from the association. 1T is
said this reason for postponing the cut
| has disappeared.
Another action taken by the board at
its meeting yesterday was TO modify the
recent advance of % per cent In the rate
on all commercial risks. The rule adopted
now will adjust the rates on these risks
separately, according to schedule, but in
general will advance them on an average
% per cent.
The statement is m&de by officers Of the
association that II is not the desire Of the
| association TO precipitate a rate var if
that can be prevented. 1t is hoped that
the local companies, even though they are
not now members OF the board, will adopt
the new schedule of rates generally, and
that an amicabie arrangement can finally
be made for the reuniting of all the con-
tending forces.
! Representatives OF the local companies
( do not seem to be so hopeful of the situa-
ton One officer said yesterday, when told
] of the decision of the board: This is the
! beginning of rate war. What is the use
4 of saying that the board does not desire
/ to begin war? The local concerns have
| feared that this action would be taken
| They believe generally that it is a baC
course. 1t is thought, however, that the
old rate will be maintained by them, ant
that they Will be able to hold large par
of their business"

A delegation. headed by Cotter T. Bride,
and including E. l. Jordan, H. B. Martin.
DR.. w. L. Riegel, and c. W. Slater, called
on Major Sylvester yesterday in the inter
est of Lieut. John C. Daley, of the Ninth
precinct, against whom complaint was re-
Gently made, setting forth that the lieuten-
ant had violated section 20 of the police
manual. in that he furnished an affidavit
effeeting the recent political contest be-
tween the Norris and Holmead factions
anent the primaries held for the election
of delegates from the District of Columbia
to the Kansas City Convention.
The substance of the complaint against
Lieutenant Daley has already been pub
lished. and is in chief that the affidavit he
is said to have made was partisan; that it
reflected discredit on the methods employed
by the Norris men in the primaries. and
that the affidavit was used at Kansas City
as an instrument against the reappoint-
ment of Mr.. Norris as a national commit
teeman. 10 say nothing OF it's alleged in
fuence against the Norris delegates to
the Convention in the fight against their
recognition made by the Holmead dele
gates. The complaint also sets forth, it is
said. that as a police official, Lieutenant
Daley was guilty of improper conduct in
taking any active part in a political con-
yention It being held that the use at the
Kansas City Convention of an affidavit
made by Lieutenant Daley constituted
taking part in the Convention.
The committee which called on Major
Crfrr 4 Cd hat
took any part in the convention, and in
sisted that the affidavit made by him was
simply the act of fair-minded individual
who certified to what had passed under
his personal observation. The committee
claimed that the action of Lieutenant
Daley was not improper and could not be
construed TO mean that he took any part in
the Kansas City Convention. 1t is also
claimed by the committee that there is
nothing in the police manual which states
that a member of the police force cannot
entertain political opinions and express
the same freely when not on duty. In sup
port of that contention the members of
the committee cite section 20 Of the police
manual. which is as follows:
The right Of every member Of the police force
10 entertain political opinions not disloysl TO the
Government Of the United States, and to express
the same freely, when not engaged upon duty.
hn2ll be deemed sacred and iuyiolate; but no
member u the police force will be permitted 70

da ses to any political office. lie shall take no

tee which called on Major Sylvester the

SMOKE ANNoYs POLICEMEN.
Third Precinct stationhOuse Filled
From a NeighbOring Chimney.

The policemen of the Third precinct have
experienced a good deal of annoyance from
the smoke of a chimney on the west wall
of house No 2O1O X Street northwest i'm
mediately adjoining the rear of the station
house They complain that the smoke
from the chimney enters the windows es
pecially of the dormitory, and that it is
difficult to occupy some of the rooms on
that account.
The matter having been referred to the
Health Department, to the Commissioners,
and the Engineer Department in success
sion, it Is row learned that the authorities
are helpless and unable to remedy the
nuisance The smoke law. according to
the Health Department, does not apply to
private residences, and that when chin
ney is of the proportions prescribed by the
building regulations the Engineer Depart
ment cannot order its removal or repair.
1t was left, therefore, to Lieuter ant
Boyle of the Third precinct. to suggest
that the municipal authorities, in con-
junction with the owner of the house
should erect upon tde chimney gal
vanized iron fue high enough 10 carry the
smoke above the rooms of the station
house.
1t is understood that this course will be
pursued

brought to bear on the case OF Lieutenant
Daley. and that sentence, said the commit
teemen, will not cover the so-called i'm
proper action of the lieutenant, as it can
not be said that he took any part in the
convention.
After listening to the arguments OF the
gentlemen OF the committee Major Sylves-
ter informed them that he was unprepared
TO say anything in the matter at present.
lie had simply received a complaint which
he would investigate. He had called on
Lieutenant Daley for report on the mat
ter. he said. but as yet had not received
it. What his action would be after the
report was in hand could not be conjec-
tured The committee was assured. how
ever, that Lieutenant Daley would be
fairly dealt with.

TIE M'CABE DIVORCE SUIT.
Information Wanted as to the Hus-
bands Ability to Pay AIimOny.

In the case of Lula j. McCabe against
her husband, John L. McCabe, for separate
maintenance, Justice Hagner yesterday
signed an order requiring the Secretary Of
War to furnish certified copy Of the rec
ord showing the per diem paid the defen-
dant The reason for the issuance OF ais
order is to furnish the court with infor-
nation as to the defendants ability to
pay alimony during the proceedings. Nc
Cabe is painter, and had been in the en-
ployment OF the Government. His wife
stated that he made about $50 per week,
and asked that she be allowed SO per
month as alimony.
In his answer McCabe stated that he
was only employed during few months
each year by the Government. In her petit
tion for divorce, Mrs. McCabe alleged that
her husband deserted her and has since
failed to contribute to her support.
McCabe filed a cross bill to his wife's
suit. in which he asks for divorce on
statutory grounds.
