SAID HE SLAPPED HIS MOTHER.
Alonzo Wormley Shoots His Father in
the Leg.

Alonzo Wormley, scolored, twenty-five
years old, butler by occupation, entered
the second precinct police station this
morning and said he wanted to surrend-
er to the police because he had shot his
father, John w. Wormley, a blacksmith,
whose home and place of business is at
1926 U street northwest. He had shot
his father in the right leg above the knee
at the family home. His explanation of
the shooting is that he fired the shot be-
cause his father had slapped his mother.
The affair happened about 9:45 o'clock.
After Alonzo surrendered he was trans
ferred to the eighth precinct station.
His father had been sent to Freedmen's
Hospital. Crossing Policeman Warning was
on duty at the railway crossing at 14th
weapon. He hurried to the house, and
upon learning what HAD occurred sent for
the patrol wagon, in which vehicle the
wounded man was conveyed to the hos
pital. The surgeons at the hospital an
ticipate no serious results from the wound.
Young Wormley told the police that his
father dropped some change on the floor
this morning and he (A1onzo) found 1t.
A dispute occurred about the money and
Alonzo declares that his father slapped
his (Alonzo's) mother. This was more
than he cared to stand, he said, and he
went upstairs and got the revolver. Re-
the shot.
The wounded man denied to the police
that he had slapped his wife, and said
he had merely pushed her. 1t Is thought
that the father will not prosecute his
son.

Panamans Are Real Fighters.

From the National Magazine.
It is the fashion to regard the wars "a
Latin-America as affairs of opera bouffe.
Men like Richard Harding Davis, who have
seen them, do not harbor any such pleas
ant delusion. In Colombia the opposing
armies fight in grim, red earnest. No quar-
ter is given and none is asked in most of
the smaller enga gements. Stories are told
of ferocity that takes the palm from the in
glorious Turk.
During the earlier stages of the present
revolution about fifty young Panamans de-
Tended mountain pass for over a month
against nearly a thousand Colombiaus.
When at last they were forced by starva
ton to surrender. only few emaciated
men, who could hardly crawl, were found.
Instead of honoring their brave defense, as
Frenchmen or Americans would have done.
the Colombians simply propped them up
against trees and shot them like dogs.
One of the leading officers of the Carta-
gena railroad testifies that II the Civilized
world knew what was going on I'm Colombia

dignation greater than ever was shown

cres.

COMMITTED TO JAIL
STUART TIBBs RESPONSIBLE FOR
JOHN GRAVES DEATH.
District Coroner Investigates and the
Accused Man Awaits Action
Of the Grand Jury.

Stuart Tibbs. colored, twenty-five years
old, barber by trade, was committed to
jail today on the charge of murder. The
commitment was ordered by Coroner New
lit after jury had investigated the death
of John c. Graves, colored, which occurred
at the Emergency Hospital yesterday morn
ing about lao o'clock. His death was due
to hemorrhage of the brain caused by
stab wound through the left eye. The
weapon used was a knife. the property of
the city post office, where Tibbs was en-
ployed during the holidays. The alleged
crime was committed late Saturday night
in saloon at 22d and G streets northwest,
conducted by w. T. Harvey.
Saturday night about II O'Clock a score
of colored men were in the saloon when
Graves entered. He was wearing q wo-
mans hat and his appearance seemed TO
amuse most of those who were In the place.
Iibbs, 1t is alleged, had had trouble with
Graves and he failed to see anything anus
Ing about his appearance. Graves unusual
headgear caused Tfbbs to make some re-
marks, however, which were resented. The
men banded words for few seconds and
Graves. who had made some purchases of
gin and beer started toward the door,
Tibbs also went in that direction, and 1t Isl
alleged that when the vestibule was reach
ed the barber drew the knife from his
pocket and stabbed Graves in the left eye
He left the knife in the wound and it was
taken out by the wounded man, who first
thought he had been struck with a bottle
Policeman Notified.
After handing the knife over to cclored
man in the saloon Graves went to the side
walk, where he met Policeman Holloran.
A man has just cut my eye OUT the
wounded man said to the policeman.
Where is hep the policeman inquired.
Hes in there" was the reply. I'll
show him to YOU"
Tibbs vas making an effort to get out of
the saloon, but did not succeed, and the
officer took him to the third precinct sta
ton, where he was held on charge of as
sault with intent to kill. Upon the death
of his victim the charge was changed to
murder.
Graves, already stated, died at the
Emergency Hospital, and Deputy Coroner
Glazebrook found that a cerebral hemor-
rhage had caused death Graves was
thirty-five years old, and lived at ia 22d
street. He had been employed as driver of
a wagon for Mr.. James B. Lambie, hard
ware dealer. His body was removed from
the hospital to the morgue, where the au-
topsy was performed. The inquest was held
at the sixth precinct station. 1t was shown
at the inquest that the i'll feeling that had
existed between the men was the result of
an effort Tibbs made to sell Graves a ring.

RIOT IN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Plot to Kill Mckinley Revealed by the
Occurrence.

dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, last night
says: Three men created small-sized riot
today in the st. Casimirs Lithuanian Ro-
man Church, on the South Side, by making
the declaration that Sisters of Charity were
not good women. The men were denounced
by the pastor, Rev. Father John S. SUIT
keitis. as anarchists. and boldly declared
that they were implicated in the plot to
assassinate President Mckinley.
The occasion for the trouble was a meet
ing to arrange for the work in the paro-
chial schools of the church. The useful
ness of the sisters in this work had Just
been praised by one of the speakers, when
man in the audience arose and said:
I'VE will not have sisters. They are not
good women, and being such should not
have control of our children
Immediately there was confusion. The
speaker was joined by two others, and
standing in the pew, defled the men of the
meeting to attack them.
A rush was being made for the three
men, when the priest told his congrega-
ton to let them depart in peace In the
meantime a police call had been sent in
from the episcopal residence, but when
the officers arrived the intruders had been
allowed to depart. Is rsS
VISA not raised because of the sisters but
because the anarchists fhad declared his
life forfeited. The. reason for this he is
unable to explain.;s He, said a band of
anarchists exists in this city and holds
regular meetings some place on Forbes
street He learned this, he said. from

dent Mckinley. Plus, refused to carry out

Question Of Challenges.
At the very start 1t was evident that the
defense intended to contest every inch Of
ground and that there was likely to be
fight over the impaneling of jury. At
torney Kumler set the ball in motion soon
after the court convened by asking Justice
Pritchard to decide the question OF chal-
lenges.
The point at issue was whether the de-
PENDANTS, being tried as whole, should
each be entitled to the number OF peremp-
tory challenges they would be IL tried
singly. Justice Pritchard expressed the
opinion that it was question that should
be more properly raised after the impanel-
Ing Of the jury was accomplished.
Are you ready to proceed with this
case?" Justice Pritchard asked the counsel.
after these few preliminaries were over.
