Henry rfaley Probably Fatally
Wounded BY Leroy Freshman.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
FREDERICK, Md, March 1e-Leroy
Freshman, twenty-three years old. shot and
MORALLY wounded Henry Fraley, aged nifty
five years while returning from services at
the Methodist Church at Catoctin. Fred
erick county. at ado'clock last night. Fresh
man was arrested and committed to jail
today.
He refuses to tfiscuss the shooting. 1t is
stated that Freshman's sister and Fraley' s
daughter. aged about seventeen years. with
several friends were returning home from
church when a quarrel arose between the
TWO over young man, who. It seems, was
paying attention to both. Miss Freshman
appeared to be getting the better Of her
rival when word was sent for Miss Fra
ley's father. Arriving on the scene, in an
excited manner. he took a fence pailing
and struck Miss Freshman a blow on the
head. -s~..-i-.
1ncensed at the old mans conduct, and not
knowing whatsshe would next do to his
sister. young Freshman instantly drew his
revolver and shot him in the left arm, when
he fell to the pavement Drs. Birely and
Dung, who were summoned, found the
bullet penetrated the arm and passing into
his left side behind the nipple lodged near
the heart, too close to this organ to at
tempt to extract it. They say he cannot
live, as internal Shemorrhages have set in.

TO STAND TOGETHER
DECISION OF DEMOCRATS AT THIS
MORNINGS CAUCUS.
Determined to Support Two Amend
ments to the Panama Canal
Treaty.

The democratic senators at their caucus
today resolved to stand together in the
Senate in support of two amendments to
the Panama canal treaty. One Of these
provides for the modification of the 2'd
article of the treaty, so as to Insure the
control of the canal zone by the United
States and the other enlarges the provision
in the fourth article of the treaty which Is
a disavowal of any intention on the part of
the United States ito increase its territory
at the expense of Colombia or Of the sister
republics in Central or South America" SO
as to include Mexico.
With reference to the latter amendment
there was considerable debate Many of
the senator's advocated an amendment
striking out the provision entirely, and
practically all of them agreed that 1t had
place in the agreement, but 1t was con-
cluded that as it had been incorporated
and would probably remain the best policy
would be to make effort to modify
rather than to remove it. Mexico was IN
corporated because 1t was urged that the
people of that country are as sensitive as
those of any other about maintaining the
integrity of their country and also as
much entitled to the guaranty as any other.
There was substantial unanfmity with
regard to the twenty-third article, OUT
much difference of opinion as to the Ian
guage of the proposed amendment ana
complete agreement on that point was not
reached until the adjournment OF the eau
Gus was forced by the converting of the
Senate at noon.
All the democratic senators, except
Messrs. Dubois Culberson, Morgan Nc
Laurin, Clarke (Ark.) and Gibson, were
present. 1t was the understanding that all
the democrats would support the two
amendments agreed upon. but that after
they are acted upon individuals should be
at liberty to vote for or against the treaty
as they may elect. 1t was also the under
ST a Ddinp that some Of the democratic Send-
tors would support some of Senator Nor
gans individual amendments. but that they
would do so a. Individual senators and not
as members of the democratic caucus.
Democratic senators who participated in
the caucus said that whether amended or
not the treaty was sure of ratification.

Guarding Public Funds.

General Baldwin. commanding the depart

In immediate charge Of the guard and the
sentinel there stationed. or a special post

In view. The frequent loss Of government
funds by robbery in the past few months

ERTY TO BE s2os, 731, 1856.
This is 500, 2O6, 1853 Higher Than at
Last Assessment-Some In
teresting Figures.

Assessor Darneille today submitted to the
District Commissioners a statement con-
tanning the exact figures of the new trien-
NAL assessment Of real property in the Dis
trict, made by the board Of assistant as
SCISSORS last year.
The total increase in valuation is SIG, 206. :
25S, the increase In the city being $15,604,-
$40 and in the county, $10,601. 74S The in
crease in revenue will amount to $421 1873. 20.
The total valuation of real property in the
District, land and improvements, Is now
sos, 731 .S6G. against s1S2, So. COS in 1902.
The total revenue to be derived from the
tax on real estate will be s., 100, 97S.O1. as
against &, 7O9, 1882 under the old assess
ment
Acquainted With Process.
Residents Of Washington are well ac-
quainted with the process by which the
assessed value Of the real estate of the Dis
trict was brought up to the new figures.
The assistant assessors were instructed by
Congress to raise the valuation OF all prop
erty to a two-thirds basis and this has been
done. The board of equalization and re-
view was busy for many weeks last fall
hearing appeals from the new figures.
The first assessments were materially cut
down during the course of these proceed
ings and 1t is believed now that the IN
Cre3SeS were Hdue upon Tie pioPcihy eh'@
we'll warranted the new valuation according
to the ideas of Congress on the matter
County property has been assessed on the
same basis as city property and the tax
rate is the same, 81. so per hundred.
The amount OF money to be derived from
the personal tax law has not yet been tg-
ured out. The board of appeals Is hearing
many cases at present and until these mat
tiers are disposed of no definite statement
can be prepared. The tabulated figures sub
mitted by Mr.. Darneille with regard to real
estate show these results:
