SERIOUS NEGRO CUTTING
AFFRAY SUNDAY MORNING
William Clements Attacked by Thomas
Stogle, Who Welded Razor With
Terrible Effect-Makes Grave Charge.

William Clements. young negro, was
assaulted with razor by Thomas
Stogle. another negro, shortly before !
o'clock Sunday morning. near the corne r
of New Jersey Avenue and X Streets
northwest. Clements was on hir way
to his home, so De Frees Street north
east. when he encountered Stogle
Stogle had disappeared when the police
arrived. and Clements was bleeding pro-
fusely from cut across his throat, ex-
tending almost from ear to ear, and an
other long slash on the arm At the
Casualty Hospital. where he WAS taken.
it was found that he was in a dangerous
condition on account of loss of blood.
1t required twenty stitches to sew up the
two wounds.
Stogle was arrested yesterday morning
at his home. 107 l. Street northwest. He
admits having done the cutting, charges
that Clements had endeayored to alier-
ate his wife's affections and claims that
he was justified because of Clements
conduct. He will be given a hearing as
soon as Clements is able TO appear In
Police Court against him.

CONTINUED from First paee.)

The main object in making a new in
cision yesterday was to hasten the heal
ing from the base of the wound upward.
The bruise incurred in the Pittsfield
trolley accident is located squarely on
the bone of the left shin. AS the shin
bone has only the thinnest covering of
flesh a comparatively small wound is
found to affect the bone.
While the bulletin announces that n
hopeful state of affairs has been reach
ed in the establishment of thorough
drainage of the wound, the developments
of the next few days viii be watched
with concern by the medical profession
in general.
According to local surgeons, the fact
that the bone has had to be scrapei
arouses fear that the same process will
have to be repeated. In every such case
additional operations, while alleviating
the trouble by the removal Of dead tis-
sues and easing the inflammation, neces>
sariIy incur the danger of introducing
some sepsis into the wound. The dan
ger then to be feared is, Of course, blood
poisoning or .gangrene, development of
local necrosis of the bone. In that event
amputation of the injured member
might have to be resorted to.
Physicians Optimistic.
There is no portion Of the surgeons
statement to cause fear of extreme COM
plications in this case, but the circum-
stances attending al! injuries of the
character from which Mr.. Roosevelt is
now suffering make the case one Of par
ticular delicacy and concern. To re-
lieve anxiety on these lines one Of the
physicians in attendance on the Presi-
dent said last night:
These precautions that we are taking
would not seem necessary perhaps in
the case of any other patient than the
President If you or had that bruise
/ am inclined to think that we would
still be limping about our business.
Some persons might wish to nurse it a
little If they had 1t. but they might not

Mirabeau L. Townes came up from
Brooklyn this morning stoop- -shouldered
with the burden of the Grout boom. He
went Immediately to see Mr.. Shevlin

Grout has wanted this nomination for
many moons just as Mr.. Coler wants 1t.
Mr.. Shaylin and Mr.. Townes are old per-

Mr.. Shevlin heard Mr.. Townes through

President and the Veterans.
Up to the present time no official
plans whatever have been entered into
at the temporary White House regard
ing the Presidents possible participa-
tion in the coming Grand Army en-
campment. When Mr.. Roosevelt's plans
for the Northwestern trip were made,
his return was fixed for the day be-
fore the grand review of the veterans
here. This was to be his entire par
ticipation In the event, after which he
purposed returning to Oyster Bay.
Even if the President is able to re-
view the veterans as they march past
the White House proper-and this is
now regarded as being unlikely-he will
take no further part in the general
program. This will be only following
out the original plan. apart from the
question Of impaired health. President
Roosevelt is determined to greet the
veterans, however, and nothing save the
absolute prohibition of the attending
physicians will cause him to consider

ALEXANDRIA ITEMS
OF GENERAL INTEREST
Another Fire Occurs of Sup
posed lncendiary Origin.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Sept. 28.-The
"Old Homestead" situated about one.
eighth of a mile north OF St. Asaph. on
the Washington-Alexand turnpike,
Alexandria county, which was destroyed
by FIRE Mt about 1:30 o'clock this morn
ing, entails loss OF several thousand
dollars to Mrs. Susan p. A. Calvert, who
owned the property. The house was oc-
cIpied by the family OF Mr.. Winter
Crupper, who is employed at the brick
yard. Fortunately they were not In ths
house, having left early In the evening
to spend the night at Mr. Crupper's
father-in-law's residence, New Alexan-
dria.
.Mr. Crupper lost everything he had,
and it is not thought his household
effects were insured. The fire is thought
to have been Of incendiary origin.
This is the third fire supposed to
have been Of incendiary origin that has
occurred In the county recently. In the
early spring a piece of property owned
by Mrs. Calvert, occupied by the Virginia
Rod and Gun Club, was burned to. ths
ground late at night, and Mr.. McNeeiys
had a narrow escape from being burned
to death.
On September % the club house Of the
Virginia Rod and Gun Club, near Pax
ton Station, on the electric railway, IA
the county, was burned to the ground and
Mr.. McNeely also had a narrow escaps !.
this time This property was owned By

A SPLENDID OUTLOOK
F0RSTATE UNIVERSITY

ATHENS, Ga, Sept. 1.-The one hundred
and second session of the University OF
Georgia begins September IL. Judging
from the large number Of requests Tor
catalogues and the unprecedented demand
for rooms in the dormitories, there will
be a material increase in the NUMBER OF
students enrolled.
Although the attendance in the academ-
ic department last year was larger than
ever before, Ii was the transitional year
from the one year to the two years law
course and the loss in that department
reduced the total attendance TO some
what smaller number than during the ses-
sion 10000. The law school this year will
have at least the normal enrolment II
NOT more as there will be some twenty
five men in the second years class and II
is reasonable to suppose that there VIII
NOT he a smaller number in the first year
class than last year.
The advance steps that have been taken
in the school of agriculture will tend to
attract students to this important part
of university work. 1t has been the ex-
nerIence of all the states that students
are not drawn to the full four years
course in agriculture. and for this reason
there has been established at the universe
ty a one year course, giving the cream OF
the full course.
The practical value Of the agricultural
department has been greatIy lhcr "
the eoutpment of a substantial building
ON the campus. and by the setting apart
of ten acres of land adjacent to the agri-
cultural hall. where farming on the in
tensive scale will be practiced by the
students.
In addition to the one year course,
winter school in agriculture will also be
conducted. This school was a decided
success last year, the young men who at
tended expressing themselves as highly
pleased with the work done Leadias
agriculturists of the state, including Col
onel r. ]. Redding. Hon. Harvie Jordan
Hon. Dudly NJ Hughes and others, lee
tured the class on agricultural subjects;
The lectures were highly instructive ana
interesting and a similar course OF lee
lures will be had this winter.
AS has already been stated, the outlook
for a large attendance is very favorable
and it is confidently expected the enroll
ment will reach near the 400 mark

RAILROAD COMMISSION
FIGHT IN ALABAMA

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. Awhile
the hot gubernatorial contest has cleared
up and politics is quieting on that score,
there is one issue that is white hot at the
bottom, That issue concerns the election,
BY direct vote of the people, of the rail-
road commission which has heretofore
been appointed by the governor.
The issue was fought to a finish in JEFF
ferson county, the great railroad center of
the state. 1t was in the home of the
chairman of the campaign committee that
was pushing the issue for the people.
Capt. F. s. White, the chairman of the
committee, organized his forces compactly
and won out by a handsome majority.
Capt. j., NJ. Falkner. the district attorney
went into jefferson county in person and
led the opposition to Capt. White.
When seen by your representative Capt.
White said:
There will be no let up in the fight. We
propose to make Alabama soil too hot for
a free pass rider to stand on it. Nor Will
we stop till we give the people a chance to
vote direct for the railroad commission of
Alabama. We have pledges from many OF
the hold over senators, and with the new
ones for us we have a nice working ma
jority in the senate and we have elected
a majority of the members Of the house.
We are we'll satisfied"
Mr.. George w. Jones, who is Falkner's
co-worker, says:
1--WE have made the fight and are thor
oughly satisfied with every member OF
the legislature. We believe them to be
fair men,"
