CONDITION CRITICAL
THOMAS H. McCREERY NOT Elk
PECTED TO LIVE.

Thomas H. McCreery. the horse trainer,
who was shot through the fesny part
of the leg by Representative J. Thomas
Heflin of Alabama at the time the latter
had trouble with Louis Lundy, colored.
and also shot him. was reported as be-
ing in desperately dangerous condi-
ton at George Washington University
Hospital this afternoon. Pneumonia de-
veloped yesterday morning. The change
was such that relatives gave up hope
for his recovery. but his attending ply
sicians. Drs. ]. ]. Wharton of this city
and Wyatt Helm, brother of Repre-
sentative Helm. who came here from
Birmingham. Ala, to assist in the treat
ment of the patient, continue hopeful.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. McCreery, parents Of
the patient, came herafrom their home.
OceanpOrt. Monmouth county, n. j., last
Wednesday and have been at the hospi-
tai most of the time since. The father
was permitted in the room, but was al
lowed to stay scarcely a minute. This
morning the mother was taken to see
McCreery.
Putting his arms about his mother 8
neck and kissing her, the patient said:
Mother, I'm up against a tough game.
but it is not all over
Mrs. McCreery was SO affected that she
could hardly retain her cGmposure. Rep
resentative Heflin was an early caller at
the hospital this morning, and remained
until it was time to go to the Capitol. Be-
fore leaving he conversed with the par
ents of McCreery.
Vitality in His Favor.
"Tell the doctors to do their best said
the father to Representative Hefin as
they were shaking hands, just before the
latter started for the Capitol.
"They will do everything that can be
DONE" Representative Heflin assured him.
They have the tetanus under control, and
if they can cope with the pneumonia the
patient will get better. His wonderful
vitality is in his favor and the physicians
have by no means given up hope.
The physicians admit. however. that the
patient is in a desperate condition.
Withers and William III. McCreery.
brothers of the patient. are scheduled to
leave here tonight with horses to be taken
to Belmont Park. N. Y. They are work
ing at Benning. having come here with
their older brother. Withers is twenty
four and William is eighteen years of age.
McCreery has two sisters. one of them.
Miss Edith McCreery, being a trained
nurse in Monmouth Memorial Hospital
Long Brnch. Miss Sarah McCreary, the
other sister, lives at home with her
parents.
DIR. Heflin is displayin intense interest
in the case. He hurried here from Bir-
mingham as soon as he learned that there
was danger of McCreery dying. and is con:
stantly in attendance at the bedside. DR..
Wharton is also spending much time at
the hospital. Interest in the condition of
the wounded man is shown by the great
many telephone messages and personal
inquiries at the hospital.

employees TAKE PART
CLERKS HELP s. KAHN, SONS &
co. TO CELEBRATE.

Four large, expensive and beautiful
floral pieces in the center of the four
floors of the enlarged store of S. Kann,
Sons & Co, at 9Th street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, are mute testimony today
to the amity between the employees and
the members of the firm.
The establishment is celebrating today
the opening of enlarged quarters and the
employees have shown that they are re-
joicing with the firm for the progress in
Dictated by presenting the floral offerings.
Each occupies conspicuous place on one
of the four floors. and throughout the day
crowds of shoppers turned from the hand
some ribbons and the rustling silks to
admire the flowers.
The aisles today looked almost like
arbors, on account of the green and
floral decorations. SmilaX. palms and
ferns were used in profusion in deco
rating the pillars and ceilings of the
store. especially on the first floor. Here
and there were small floral pieces CIV
ing out fragrance.
But the four huge pieces were the
centers of attraction. Each was marked
with the significant phrase. Presented
by the employees" When the movement
on the part Of the employees to join
with the firm in celebrating the open
ing of the enlarged store was begun
committee composed of George S. De
Neale. superintendent; P. Hiltz, NJ. Ben
nell, r. Sacks, P. Becker. ]. Leather
man. r. Menefee and Mrs. Hoitt and
Mrs. Shute was appointed to make the
arrangements on the part of the en-
ployeS.
Description of Flowers.
While the employers were all away yes
terday the four huge floral pieces were
placed in position. On the first floor is
floral fountain, fully twenty feet high, and
built of American Beauty red and pink
roses and ferns. Hundreds of roses Of
unusual size and delicate tints are util-
lied to give the effect which caused many
expressions like isn't that beautiful
from shoppers. On the second floor is a
huge floral tree, about fifteen feet high.
Moss and ferns were used for the trunk
and on the many branches are roses. This
represented the store and it's many de-
partments, each branch shown to be flow
ering.
On the third floor is a floral thorn or
plenty" In 1t are plenty of flowers. and
it shows the plenty of good feeling ex-
listing throughout the store. The fourth
floor piece is rustic bed of flowers Of
many shades and many hues.
Every one of the thousand employees of
the store, it is declared, had a part in
presenting the tributes to the firm. The
cash boy threw out his chest every time
he looked at one of the pieces. and re-
marked to his companion, II helped buy
that" And the girl at the counter hum
med the Merry Widow waltz over again
every time she caught a glimpse of the
fountain. Each of the employees wore
pink carnation in honor of the occasion.

by, of this place, the colonel was
filled with pride uncommon even
among new fathers. Col. Weatherby
himself, has six well-developed fin

on each foot. He says that extra
fingers and toes can be found in
his family for five generations back.
But" says the colonel, this baby
is what l call normal. He is the
first one of the family to have two
sets of six. Now that he is balanced
all around he makes rather a fit

Il am expecting great things of
the boy, especially if he has any
musical talent Think what he would
do on the harp, with twelve fingers,
