shots Fired In Quarrel Over Suit.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. July Ga sensa-
tional shooting affray. in which four men,
bers of the Clarksville bar were con-
cerned, occurred in the chancery court
room at the Clarksvilie court house to-
day. The principals were William Dan
iels, jr. and F. G. Gilbert, George Gilbert.
and William Nj. Daniels. sr. Not less than
fifteen shots were fired.
All the men, except William Daniels, sr.,
were armed and expecting trouble. which
was precipitated over lawsuit in which
william Daniels, jr.. and F. G. Gilbert
We're opposing counsel After the trial OF
the case William Daniels, jr-, and f. G.
Gilbert stood at the opposite sides of a
table.
Daniels referred to statements made by
Gilbert in the course of the trial, in which
both sides had indulged in personalities.
Gilbert reiterated the statement, to which
Daniels, jr, made some reply that caused
Gilbert either to strike him or strike at
MIN with an umbrella. Daniels. jr., drew
a pistol and fired twice at Gilbert, who
also drew pistol and returned the fire.
In the midst of the fusillade Daniels, ST..
who was in an adjoining room, hurried
forward to prevent further trouble
As he entered the room George Gilbert,
brother OF +. G- Gilbert, aimed his pis-
tol at William Daniels. jr. The elder
Daniels grappled with George Gilbert and
wrested the pistol out of line with his
son. receiving in the neck the ball intended
for the latter. After the battle the cas-
ualties were shown to be: William Dan
iefs, jr., shot in the top of the head, flesh
wound, and also in the left arm; William
Daniels. sr., flesh wound on the left side
of throat; F. G. Gilbert, shot in he left
arm and through the right hand.
1t Is considered almost miraculous that
none of the shots was fatal. The walls,
chairs, and furniture in the room show
the marks of ten bullet holes.

TO CHANGE INAUGURAL DAY.
A Plan Submitted to the District
Comm fssiouers for Action.


: A plan was submitted to the District
Commissioners yesterday looking toward
change in the date of the Inauguration
of the President of the United States
from March. to some time later in the
season. in either April May. when
more seasonable weather rs experienced
here. The plan was presented to Com
missioner Macfarland by John Joy Ed
son. Chairman of the Inaugural Commit
tee of 1901.
The question of changing tie date OF
the Inauguration has been agitated man!'
times in the past, but so far no progress
has been made in the matter. II is gener-
ally appreciated that March is the worst
month in the year for such an outdoor
celebration as the Inauguration The re-
firing President and the President-elect,
as well as many Government officials.
members of the Diplomatic Corps, and
thousands of private citizens are exposed
during the ceremonies to the most severe
weather of the year. 1t has been realized
for a long time therefore, that change
to more seasonable weather would be adj
vantageous-
The plan as submitted by Chairman Ed
son did not make any suggestion as to
the proper date to be selected. This Is to
posed of the Governors of the States and
Territories, and fifteen representative citi-
zens This committee is to make Sc
lection of the date and have the question
brought to the attention of Congress for
action in the matter.
As it would be impossible to secure a
personal meeting of the Governors, the
plan as outlined would provide that the
fifteen members selected at large from
the country most of whom would be
named from the District, would form the
Executive Committee. The Headquarters
for the work would necessarily be IN
Washington. Commissioner Macfarland
will present the question to the District
Commissioners, and it is generally un-
derssood that action will be taken imme-
diately in regard to the proposed change.
The resolutions passed by the lnaugu-
raj Committee May y last. and yester-
day presented to the Commissioners, fol-
low:
Resolved that the Chairman of the In
augural Committee is hereby authorized
to request the Commissioners OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia to appoint such num-
Der of persons, as in their Judgment and
discretion may De necessary, TO constitute
committee of national character, to con-
slider the question Of and to take proper
steps to secure a change of the date of
the Inauguration of the President of the
United States, from the 4th of March to
such date as in the Judgment of said COM
n1fttee would be more suitable for Inaugu-
ration Day.
There manifestiy prevails general
sentiment here and throughout the coun-
try that change of date for the inaugu-
ration of the President is desirable, not
only on account Of the inclemency of the
weather in March, but for other public
economic reasons. p
1T is hoped the committee you select
will so carefully and thoroughly consid-
er this important subject that their con-
clusfons and recommendations will lead
to a right and final settlement Of the ques-
ton
