WOUNDED HIS CAPTOR
Frank Freeman shoots Poifcemnn
Robey While Under Arrest.

Policeman Robey, of the Sixth pre-
cinct, was shot by Frank Freeman, who
was under arrest, at the corner of First
and D Streets northeast, shortly after
o'clock last night. Freeman escaped
Immediately after the shooting.
About two weeks ago Freeman, VINO
is about thirty years old, and lives at
416 Third Street northeast, stole BIZ
cycle from in front of the American
House, at the corner of Seventh Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue northwest. He
eluded arrest, however, until last night,
when Policeman Robey encountered him
in front of his home, on Third Street
northeast. Robey at once arrested him
and the negro submitted with good grace.
Robey started with his prisoner toward
the nearest police box. When the two
reached First and D Streets, Freeman
said he was cold and asked the police
man if he might put his hands in his
pocket. To this Robey consented.
Freeman thrust one hand into pocket
and, while backing away from his captDr,
drew a small % calibre revolver Rohey
made d grab for the weapon just as the
negro fired. The ball struck Robey IN
the right shoulder Freeman jerked loose
and started off on a run Robey, al
though rather stunned by the wound,
managed to draw his revolver and fred
three shots at the retreating figure of his
assailant, who soon disappeared. T1e
pain of the wound disconnected his aim
somewhat and it is not thought the negro
was struck.
Robey at once went TO Casualty Hos
pital, where his wound was examined. 1t
was found that the bullet had entered the
fore part of right shoulder and had pene-
trated to the collar bone. from which It
glanced, and come out at the ba OF shoul-
der. Robey at once started out after the
negro for whom look OUT was issued
from Police Headquarters.
Shortly before II o'clock negro whom,
the police say, answers the description
OF Freeman, was sitting on the curb ut
Massachusetts, and Delaware Avenues
northeast, as Lawrence Fitzhugh, living
at 235 Massachusetts Avenue northeast,
was walking along on his way home.
The passing of Fitzhugh awoke the negro
from nap in the cold air, and he jump
ed up and pulled a revolver out of his
pocket and fred two shots at Fitzhugh,
and then made his escape. Fitzhugh,
thoroughly frightened, ran. and did not
stop until he reached the Ninth precinct
station, corner of Ninth and e Streets
northeast. He told his experience, and
remained at the station several hours,
because he said he was afraid to go

ASKS FOR REDUCED RATE.
Committee Planning for Large At
tendance. ut Buffalo. Septe m Der 3.

The committee on arrangements for the
observance of District day at the Pan
American exposition has made formal ap-
plcation for a reduced rate in the round
fare from Washington to Buffalo. and asks
that tickets be placed on sale at least three
days preceding September 3, which has
been decided upon as District day. From
the number of inquiries received by the
committee the indications are. even at this
early date. that the attendance from the
national capital will be large and repre-
sentative

with headquarters in the Bond building. IN
rooms 2D4 and 2Oj. has received complete
list OF the hotels and boarding houses In

feasibility with reference to the exposition
grounds The demand for this information
has been steady and viii be furnished upon
application at the Office Of the assistant
secretary.
The committee has received many con-
CALCULATIONS upon its happy choice OF Sep
TENDER as District day at the exposition.
The employees of the government depart
ments will find the date particularly advan-
tageous inasmuch as they will derive the
benefit of the two full holidays Immediately
preceding.
The program. as already announced. will
be one of simplicity and dignity, consisting
of addresses by the president and director

Iumbia. the singing of the Star Spangled
Banner and an address on behalf of the
District OF Columbia by the president of
the Board Of Commissioners. Mr.. H b. F.
Mcfarland A great deal of interest will
center in the Marine Band, which by direc
ton of the national authorities will be at
the disposal OF the District committee for
the entire day and evening.
The feature OF the evenings entertain
ment will be the stereopticon lecture illus

committee in its preparation for the lecture
IS being assisted by Mr.. II. p. r. Holt and
Mr.. T. w. Smillie, whose experience in such
matters IS broad. and insures accuracy In

Amateur Men-of-Wars Men.
The interesting fact has already leaked
out that Mr.. Yerburgh, NJ. P, and Mr..
Arnold White have been spending the last
few weeks as amateur bluejackets on
British man-o'-war, in the Mediterranean,
IN order to discover the conditions of a sea-
mans life, and the suitability of the Brit
lSh Heet to engage in a naval war with
foreign power. Their conclusions on the
latter subject are not divulged but on the
question Of the treatment of Jack Tars Mr.
White offers some startling particulars in
the current number of the National Review
Jack at sea Is very badly treated as regards
food. If Mr.. Whites experience is typical of
the whole fleet.
This was the days fare served out to him:
q am. a basin of greasy, watery cocoa a
hunk of sour bread. bought in Sardinia:
no bakery on board Noon: A tepid un-
dressed slab Of baked beef too tough to
eet), In watery gravy; few beans, a piece
OF sour bread. and basin of water: no
potatoes. If Jack wants potatoes he must
buy them. 4:3O p. m: A basin of stewed tea
and a hunk of bread; a ration of three water
6ros was also served out. KUN is a most
unsuitable summer beverage in a southern
climate. From 4:39 pm. until am next
day he had nothing. 1t would be hardly
possible in this case to let good digestion
wait on appetite and help on both; neither
would it be possible for Jack to turn out
a hrst-ciass fighting man on such rations

very far since the days of Nelson.
