SHELBY SMITH EXPELLED.
Former Washington Printer ousted
From Union.

Reports received by Washington printers

Typographical Union. now in session at
Toronto, Canada, state that Shelby Smith.
formerly of Washington, but now of Phila-
delphia. has been expelled from the organi-
cation by vote of 2o2 to "a.
Smith came to Washington about twelve
years ago and secured employment as a
proof reader in the government printing Of
flee. where he served several years. and
during all that time was active in printers
union politics. He had quite a following.
and was a delegate from the local typo
graphical union to the national convention
at Colorado Springs in 1896.
Four years ago Smith was n candidate
for president of the union. He was de-
feated. Shortly afterward he resigned
from the government printing office, and
went to Philadelphia, where he started a
weekly labor paper known the Trades
Union News. He tried to reorganiZe the
union there, and antagonized the officers
of the international union That many
stood by him is shown by the fact that he
was elected delegate to the international
convention at Toronto.
1t is said his dismissal from the internal
tional body was preceded by a series of
fierce discussions" The cause for his eX-
pulsion is said to be because he severely
criticised the executive council OF the inter-
national body in his paper the Trades
Union News.

POLICEMAN ASSAULTED.
Prisoner Rescued and Officer Beaten
Into Insensibility.

Policeman H. K. Wilson of the fourth
precinct engaged in a desperate struggle
with a party of colored men in an alley
near B and Half streets stuthwest yester-
day afternoon about $50 o'clock. He was
jumped upon by several men and kicked
and beaten into insensibility. He recovered
his senses In a short time, however, and
was able TO go home after he had received
medical trea tment at the police station.
The policeman was III the alley engaged
in A discussion with John H. Carroll about
a dog tag, when a young colored man ap-
peared upon the scene and wanted to put
an end to the conversation. When ordered
away, the policeman states. the man be-
came profane and abusive and was placed
under arrest. AS soon as the arrest was
made a number OF other colored men took
hand in the affair and rescued the pris-
oner by assaulting the policeman When
the latter drew his revolver for the pur-
pose of intimidating the men one of them
grabbed the weapon and discharged 1t,

and 1t landed against the head of the Off
Ger with force enough to render him I'M
conscious. Had it not been for a small
boy, who called for assistance and went
In search of another policeman, the crowd
of colored men would probably have done
the officer more serious harm. The report
of the pistol shot attracted number of
persons to the alley and caused consider
able excitement for short time.

and the wounded policeman was taken
away, it was discovered that the latter
revolver had been carried away by one of
the attacking party. The man who caused
the trouble is a short stout colored man,
