Special Correspondence to The Press
BY gibson GARDNER

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Feb.
22.-Is George Washington a myth
or did he really live? And, if So,
how about the cherry tree and the
Ratchet?
In this part of the country there
are all kinds of evidences that
G. Washington actually happened.
There are houses and relics and
collateral descendants lying around
on all sides. There is his mothers
house, and the one George built for
his favorite sister, and one on the
spot where another house used to
be in which George was boy. And
there is a monument to his mother
and a rock on which she sat, and
the hotel where George stopped,

SHOCK MAKES
TEARS STREAM

On account of being shocked,
Frank j. Fuller, of E1411 Sixteenth
av., Washington Water Power
Co. conductor, wept for several
hours following the accident. Full
er was examining the motor of car
&C on the Hillyard line on Front
av. between Stevens and Washing
ton SITS. The force of the shock
threw him to the floor of the vesti-
bule. He was unable to move or
speak, but only wept. He was
taken to Coroner Writer'S office
and finally was able to talk be-
tween gasps but continued to weep.
Fuller said he did not know what
caused him to weep. The physi-
clan explained that the shock to
Fuller's nervous system caused
hysteria. He is not dangerously
injured.
