The handsome power launch Gadabout,
hailing from Annapolis, Md, and owned by
Mr.. E. M. Fulton, has been a visitor to
this city for the past day or two and has
attracted considerable attention. She is
an able looking craft, forty-four feet long,
with ample beam to give her stability on

cockpit amidships, in which is the steering
wheel and other apparatus for the handling
of the boat. In the forward cabin are the
living quarters for her owner and three
others. This is fitted up in comfortable
style with all the modern yacht equip
ments. The engine room and galley are
in the after cabin, and the separation Of
the cabins does away with all heat and
smell of cooking in the living quarters for
ward The boat is equipped with 20
horsepower gasoline engine and has speed
Of about ten miles an hour. Mr.. Fulton
and his son have been cruising on the
bay and its tributaries for several weeks
past.

ATTEMPTS TO" lend ALL"
ROBERT BATTAILLE SHOOTS HIM
SELF WHILE SEATED IN PARK.
Believed He Meant to Kill Himself
Letter in Hands Of
Detectives.

Robert Morris Battaile about twenty
eight years old, of 315 II street northeast,
and an employee of the Washington Brew
ing Company, shot himself through the left
groin just below the ribs while he was
sitting on a park bench near the pension
office shortly before 10 o'clock this morn
ing. He was removed to the Emergency
Hospital in the ambulance and prompt at
tention given him. 1t Is too early, the doc
tors say, to tell whether or not the man
will live.
Domestic troubles are alleged to have been
the reason fer the rash act In his pocket
was found a letter addressed to M. V. B.,
which stated that the writer had asked
M. V. Il. to meet him several times during
the past few days, and that she had re-
fused, and that he had asked he- last night
and she had refused again, and that, for
that reason he thought it was time to
lend it ALL" This letter was taken to police
headquarters and is now in the possession
of Inspector Bourdman.
Battaille remained seated on the bench for
several minutes before he fired the shot.
Seve:al boys were paying about the park
and noticed him there. They afterward
| recalled that he had his hand in h s pocket.
Among these toys were Barney Beriinsky,
| Richard Johnson ana Edward Mcdonald.
Shortly after they had passed the bench,
with the park Waterman chasing them,
and before the park policeman had gone
more than ten feet away from Battaille,
the report OF a revolver was heard and the
boys and the policeman turned to see what
the trouble was. They saw Battaile with a
smoking revoiver in his hand, which he
almost Immediately threw away.
Begged for Revolver.
The policeman picked up the weapon and
showed it quickly into his pocket. When he
reached Battaille the latter asked where
the gun was.
Il have it, replied the park policeman.
Let me have it once MORE" asked Bat
taille.
The wounded man had arisen to his feet
to fire the revolver but sank back en- the
bench. Park Policeman Smith laid him
out on the grass and Crossing Policeman
+. A. Dyson, at 5th and G streets, 'phoned
the sixth precinct station house to call for
the ambulance of the Emergency Hospital
The ambulance responded quickly.
Meanwhile DR.. Kemp of 433 G street
but he stated that he could do nothing and
that Battaille should be removed to the
hospital.
AS Battaille was lying on the grass and
heard that the ambulance had been sent
for he protested.
Let me de-" he exclaimed, repeating it
several times. He produced letter from
his pocket, also, which he evidently wanted
the policeman to deliver. That was handed
to Inspector Boardman, as stated.
The revolver with which Battaile shot
himself of the 32-caliber American
bulldog double-action pattern. 1t was TAX

where it will be held.
Battaille has been employed at the Wash

years in the bottlng department, and has
been considered good workman. He is
native of Virginia, it is understood.
