SEANER'S SIDE.

Shaner is a vigorous but boyiSh
looking man. He says that he did not
see the senator leave the Car preced-
ing his: that he did not strike the
senator until the latter drew his knife
and that he did not make an effort to
put him off the car while it was in
motion. His wound is slight cut
across the ball Of the thumb. \ war
rant was issued for the arrest Of Con
ductor Shaner on the charge Of assault.
1t was sworn out by Senator Money.
a warrant was also sworn out by the
Mississippi senator against James Z.
Hooper, foreman Of truck \ OF the dis
trict fire department. Hooper IS the
passenger on the car who assisted the
conductor. Later Senator Money call
ed on President Mcfarland Of the
board of commissioners of the District
of Columbia and preferred verbal
charges against Hooper. Mr.. McFar-
land told him Hoo, would be brought
before the trial b, d and the case
thoroughly Investigated. Senator
Money also wrote to the president Of
the Capital Traction company demand
ing immediate dismissal OF Conductor
Shaner and threatened to sue the com
pany for damages if such action was
not taken. The company several
years ago dismissed a conductor at the
request Of a Massachusetts, senator

A young woman of Stonnington, six
teen years old, who Is one of the most
expert swimmers OF that town, mad
an unusual experience on Monday af.
ternoon while swimming in the waters
Of the upper harbor. She was padding
calmly along and had reached the deep
waters of the channel which leads
from the railroad bridges to the high
way bridge at Quocaduc. when she
was startled to see snake two feet
in length gliding along the surface
close by her.
The young woman's friends on shore
were also startled about the same time
to hear her utter a cry OF
fright. They imagined all
sorts Of things, but long be-
fore they found out what the matter
was the snake had disappeared, and
the startled young woman had recov-
cred from her momentary terror.
The reptile was no water snake. but
genuine land wriggler of the familiar
green and yellow type, with black
spots. What he was doing SO far from
dry earth is mystery. He paid no at
tention to the swimming maiden, but
kept quietly on his course. which lay
at right angles to hers, and passed d.
rectly In front of her. This is the irst
time that land snake is known to
have crossed the upper har-
Dor channel. Future swimmers are
expected to keep close watch for the
,mphibious reptile on his return trip
Or his future marine excursions.-New
