Startled by Pistol Shots.

The reports of several pistol shots fired
in rapid succession. startled the occupants
of houses on I'd street northwest between
and r streets about $50 o'clock last
night. Sixth precinct policemen made an
investigation. but were unable to find any
body who had participated in the trouble.
They learned that there were four col
ored men on the street and three OF them
seemed to be throwing stones at the fourth
one. The man who had to defend himself
against the trio did the shooting, and the
police were told that he shot one of the
men in the foot. A message was sent to
all the stations directing the officers to
lookout for a wounded man. but no such
person could be located

CHARGES DROPPED.
Prosecuting Attorney Comedies That
Policeman Exceeded His Authority.

Charles A. Hall attempted to ride bicy-
Gle through the line of the Marine Corps
Yesterday afternoon while it was on parade
in connection with the unveiling ceremonies,
and John Pedrone. a private in the Marine
Corps ranks, tried to prevent it. A heated
discussion between the two men ensued,
and Policeman j. L. Giles appeared on the
scene. Without stopping to make an in
quiry, it is said, the policeman placed both
men under arrest. The marine was taken
from the ranks against the protests of
Capt. Robert F. Wynne, who was in COM
mand of the marines. Capt Wynne in
formed the officer that he would turn the
man over to the civil authorities when the
parade disbanded, but this proposition was
not accepted by the policeman, and Pedrone
was escorted to the station house, where
Capt. Wynne secured his release by leaving
50 security
Capt. Harry Leonard of the Marine Corps
called on Prosecutor Pugh today at the Po-
lice Court in the interests of the marine.
Capt. Leonard contended that the police
man exceeded his authority in taking the
marine from the ranks while he was under
arms and on duty. The prosecuting attOr
ney agreed with him. and dropped the
charge of diSorderly conduct against Pc
drone. Similar action was also taken in the
case against Hail. who was charged jointly
with the marine.
Later in the day Capts. Wynne and Leon
ard appeared at police headquarters and
brought the matter to the attention of Maj.
Sylvester, lodging a complaint against Po-
liceman Giles.
Major Sylvester sent for Policeman Giles
this afternoon to hear his version of the
affair. Speaking to a Star reporter, Major
Sylvester said he had only heard one side
of the affair. The case, he said is appar-
emily one of an officer using bad judgment
and acting a little hastily Under the cir
cumstanceS he thought the policeman
should have acted upon the suggestion of
the nIinGr officer and fal<aD the
marine from the line. The question of the
policeman being cited to appear before the
trial board will not be determined until
Policeman Giles has made his statement.

to Be Soon Decided.

The date of the formal opening of the
new addition to the Georgetown University

room will be about s. 900.
