FIREMAN LANG IS ARRESTED
Injured Man Was Shot Thursday Night, But Facts Were Not Re- ported By Police Until Yester-
 day-InVestigatIon Made.

J. L. Doyle a brickmason, who lives at 2412 First avenue. was shot and probably fatally wounded Thursday night in room on the second floor of the building at the corner of Avenue D and Twen- tieth street. South. L. T. Lang fire partment was arrested yesterday morn ing charged with assault with intent to murder.
 No one saw the shooting, but Doyles sister in-law was in the room with him.
 Doyle, after he was shot. left the place and walked home. undressed and retired without letting any one know that he was wounded. After o'clock people in an adjoining room heard him grooming and found him in a serious condition. Gaudin & Co.'S ambulance was telephoned for and he was carried to St. Vincent 8 hospital. IL was stated last night that he was not expected to live through to- day, the ball having entered his back and penetrated the abdomen.
 Shot Through Door.
 The shooting was done through the door leading to the room of Mrs Doyle. q sister-in-law of the wounded man. It is said by another woman living on the suine floor and very intimate with Mrs. Doyle, that some one knocked on the door and Doyle said to his sister-in-1aw T will see who that is." At that moment shot was fired and Doyle fell with a wound in his back He had turned in going to the door, and that accounts for the bullet entering his back.
 Yesterday afternoon Chief Austin had Mrs Doyle and the other woman in his office for several hours trying to get at the facts in the case. After he had f1n- ishod talking with them he said the younger woman had stated to him that Thursday afternoon Lang was in the room and that several bottles of beer were drank and that when Lang left he stated that he would probably be back between and o'clock It was between these hours that Doyle was shot through the door,
 Policemen Patton and Mcdonald are said last night that pistol was taken GrCm Lang Tn n saloon on SOuJn IWen- tieth street about o'clock Thursday night, and that two Of the cartridges had been fired, leaving four good ones in the cylinder. Lang had some trouble with a man in the saloon and Policemen Patton and Mcdonald arrested him, charged wit carrying concealed weapons and ag- gravated disorderly conduct. He was nl- lowed to make bond in these two cases.
 Police Investigate.
 Thursday night Captain Wier and Po- liceman Mcdonald investigated the shoot ing in the building, but went to Nle wrong room and did not discover. that Doyle had been shet. The police did not know anything about 1t until yesterday morning. The policemen found four bot ties of beer fin front of the door. Lang was in his bed at the southside fire de- partment yesterday morning at o'clock. and was seen there at that time by Fire man Lovelace.
 Lang has not made bond. Judge Feagin set 1t at s10OO but 1t Is probable he will not be allowed to make bond until Doyle is out of danger.

Nothing Political.
 "There is absolutely nothing in the re- port that MT. Vaughan was removed for political reasons. His official work was not satisfactory to the department. That is all"
 The removal of District Attorney Vaughan, which became generally known in Washington today. caused something of a sensation in Alabama and southern republican circles. MT. Vaughan has many friends here who, in spite of the statement of the department of justice, doubt that he has been removed for pur- poses other than political. Political friends of MT. Vaughan claim that he is a good lawyer and do not believe that he has to attend to the affairs of the office. An attache of the attorney generals office says that the attorney general was
