JUST A FAMILY ROW
THAT'S THE POLICE THEORY IN

A family feud is believed by the police to
be responsible for the at l2iS Half
street southeast early yesterday morning.
when Mrs. Mary Carrico and her son Joseph
were severely stabbed. Mrs. Carrico Is a
patient at Providence Hospital with a knife
wound in her right side and Joseph has Il

heart, but ia up and around as usual. Mrs.
Carrico Is expected 10 recover.
The police have arrested James CarriCo.
a son of the injured woman: Robert Jen-
k!ns, John Bloomer and Raymond Wright.
and are trying hard TO straighten out the
tangle.
IT'S all right. mother: it's Jenks," Mrs.
Carrico told the police she heard Joseph
yell during the ARRAY. But as James Car
rico and Robert Jenkins are both called
jerks, the problem to which of
the two was meant by the expression makes
How old is Ann: fade into simple frac-
tons by comparison.
Detectives Weedcn, Burlingame. Harti-
gan. Evans and Mullen are working on the
theory that the stabbing the result of
a domestic quarrel. and. unless the condi-
tion of the victims becomes at all serious,
they believe that the members of the fam

According to the police there has been a
feud in the family for some time. Some
outsiders have also become involved. This,

SUMMER NIGHT FORCES.
G p. o. Prepared for All Departmental
Exigencies

The government printing Office is conduct
ing small night forces in the composing,
foundry and press departments this sum-
mer. this action being in the nature Of an
experiment to ascertain the demands for
rapid work by the various departments, and
issuing offices connected with the govern
ment service. 1t is said that for many
years there have been numerous inquiries
from the heads Of bureaus and departments
as to the advisabiuty of the Office being
prepared to furnish printed copies In the
morning OF manuscript prepared the day
before, and now the matter Is being tested
to determine the usefulness Of the service
1t Is understood that thus far the small
force of printers has been kept busy han
ding work required the following morning
and that only little time has been given
to the routine printing handled by the day
forces.
The interstate commerce commission has
been good customer of the night section
Of the big printery, while the various in
vestigations Of the Department of Justice
have added to the volume Of work. 1t is
said that frequently there has been suf-
fcient composition briefs and other
court work to keep the small night force
occupied the entire eight hours. Mr.. John
Greene. who has been connected with the
night force sof the government printing Of
fc for a number of years. is in charge of
the section.
A small force of printers is also MAIN
tained at night in the job section to finish
up hurried work. and push that which Is
being called for by impatient customers,
and several experts are occupied in the
foundry In making rrections and handling
rush jobs. The press division night force
has been sufficient to run off simply the
more hurried forms until few days ago.
when several pressmeD were detailed to that
shift to expedite the work Of the day divi-

Lighthouse Service Wants New Boat.


1t is believed that the sidewheel steamer
Geranium. the oldest vessel in active serv-
Ice in the lighthouse establishment will
soon be replaced with a modern steel hull
twin screw steamer. In the recommenda-
tions that will be made to Congress next
session by the lighthouse board will be one
for the construction of new steamer. The
reports Of the lighthouse board for the past
year or two have contained very dispar-
aging remarks concerning the ineff1ciency
of the old steamer. and this year 1t is said
that a strong effort Is to be made to get
new boat. The Geranium was built at
Newberg. N. Y. in 1864. and has given the
government forty-three years of efficient
service. She was built for the merchant
service and was named the John A. Dix,
but soon after being built she was pur-
chased by the government as a transport
and after the civil war was transferred
to the lighthouse service. She is a wooden
hull vessel of 356 gross tons and Is 1856 s
feet long. She Is now in active service on
the Maine coast and looks after buoys and
lights in an extended territory.

MERCY! LISTEN TO THIS
IT'S ALL ABOUT A HIGH-BRoWED
BOW-WOW.
And Some Careless Nature Faker
Certainly Overlooked his
One Best Bet.

Some nature faker missed the chance OF
his life in a dog story which appeared in
a morning paper. According to the story,
which was told with wealth of words,
a Great Dane got on a Georgetown car,
and then, when he was good and ready,
got off Only that and nothing more.
Now suppose some former preacher In
the nature fake business naturalist who
had thrown away his gun to take up the
money making pen had told the story.
Wouldn't il have been like this?
As the motorman Of Glen Echo car No.
4-11-44 was whizzing up + street, just be-
fore he came to 10Th street, he beheld an
enormous Great Dane, whose name was
evidently Toby standing near the crossing
and holding up his right paw as signal
that he wished to board the car
Promptly the motorman wound up his
creak!ng brake until the car came to a
grinding pause when t-e dog gravely
climbed on the back platform and settled
himself calmly on the newly polished shoes
of several Georgetown people who were
homeward bound. They promptly gave the
dog more room.
When the conductor came around to col
leCt the fares the dog put both paws to
his ears giving the high sign of the An
cient and Honorable Order OF Buffaloes to
which the conductor belonged and no fare
was collected.
Conductor Was on the Job.
From the conversation of his neighbors
on the back platform Toby learned that
the car was bound for Georgetown. With
howl of protest he rose to MS hind legs
and clamored for the conductor with in
dignant barks. That functionary was right
on the job. and came back to find out
where the kick was. Toby lost time in
informing him, and, without waiting for the
official TO hand him a transfer, seized one
himself from the pad which the conductor
had in his hand. deftly punched out the
date and hour with a skiful snap of his
sharp teeth. and tucked the Slip away be-
tween his toes.
A small boy who had watched the pro-
ceedngs with interest apparently also
wished TO transfer to a Mount Pleasant
car but didn't know exactly how to GO
about it. Realizing the lads predicament,
Toby gave him his own transfer, seized
another from the complaisant conductor
when he came by again, and when the car
reached Dupont Circle prodded the small
boy a signal that that was where they
got off, and escorted him to the sidewalk,
where they took the next car to the north.
How Toby knew where the boy lived
will probably always be a mystery, but
true 1t is that his marvellous instinct en-
abled him to escort the lad home to his
anxious mother.
After that duty performed Toby went
home himself and telephoned the story to
a morning paper. which printed it .exclu-
sively, thereby scoring a triumph unequaled
in the annals of journalism

STRUCK BY A FAST TRAIN
ADAM SILVEY OF THIS CITY
KILLED IN BALTIMORE.
Edward Klein Sustained Fracture of
Leg-Attempted to Ride on
Freight Cars.

One youth was killed and the leg of an
other was fractured last night at Fulton
Junction, Baltimore on the Pennsylvania
railroad. Adam Slvey, eighteen years OF
age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Silvey OF
1921 I'd street northeast, lost his life and
Edward Klein, nineteen years Of age, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Nathaniel Klein of 1909
I'd street northeast was severely injured.
The two boys. with Guy Knott sixteen
years of age, whose address was given as
401 4th street northeast departed from this
city yesterday afternoon about O'Clock
for a short pleasure trip. The boys had
previously purchased one-way tickets to
Baltimore and had made up their minds to
return on a freight train. After a visit
about Baltimore they decided to return
home last night and had gone to Fulton
Junction to await the departure of
freight for Washington.
According to a story told by Knott, who
was unnjured, the three boys were so
concerned in the thought of avoiding detec-
ton that they paid no attention to the
approach of a train on another track, and
almost before they could move the fast eX-
press was upon them.
Escape on either side almost i'm
possible. Impuisively. Knott threw HIM
self to the ground between the tracks and
Klein tried to follow suit Silvey seemed
bewildered and stood for several seconds in
front of the swiftly approaching train.
In a Huddled Mass.
When the two boys looked up they were
mortified to find Silvey in a huddled mass
some distance away from the track, mo-
tionless and apparently lifeless Knott arose
and carried Klein to the Sidewalk and i'm
mediately returned to S-lvey, whose head
| was Testing in large pool Of blood His
clothes were torn into shreds.
A large crowd was soon attracted by
cries of Klein and the lad was removed to
tie Homeopathic Hospital, where his in
jures were dressed and his fractured limb
set. The body of Silvey was taken to the
morgue, where, it is stated, an inquest will
be held this evening. Knott was taken to
the northwestern police station, to be held
as a witness at the inquest.
When this morning by Star re-
| porter, Mrs. Silvey, mother of the deceased
| stated that her son left home yesterday aft
ernoon about ) o'clock in company with his
| brother. Clarence Silvey, and Guy Knott
ence, who is sixteen years of age, returAed
home and tod her that the other three
| boys had taken a train at Deanwood Sta
ton, near Benning race track, and had
| gone to Baltimore.
Arrangements have been made for the
removal of the body to this city after the
| inquest tonight. The funeral will probably
| take place from his late home Wednesday.
| Mrs. Klein stated that no arrangements
| had been made to bring her son home, but
| that she would probably leave him in the
| hospital in Baltimore until he recovered
| from his injuries.
