Woman Says Shooting
Was Accidental.

Physicians at Providence Hospital re-
ported today that Mrs. Frank +. Glib,
who accidentally shot herself in the alb
c0men at CalvertOn, Va. Saturday af-
ternoOn, is much improved, and stands
a good chance Of recovery. Mrs. GLIB
underwent an operation yesterday, nd
the bullet was extracted Since then
she has steadily improved
Frank 3. GLIB, husband Of the wound
ed woman, who came TO washington
with her on Saturday night and re-
manned at the hospital until good news
was given out, emphatically denies that
marital difficulties were responsible for
the shooting or that the bullet was fired
with suicidal intent.
Topographic reports that Mrs. GLIB
had sued her husband for divorce or
that Mr.. Glib contemplated hling suit
against her were vigorously denied BY
Mr.. GLIB today. When seen at me
Raleigh Hotel, Mr.. Glib said;
Denies Stony of Divorce Action.
THE story Of my wife shooting her
self Intentionally is false from start TO
finish. There is not . germ of truth
in 1t. Il is absolutely untrue that either
she or / contemplated fling suit for
divorce. 1 cannot understand how any
such report could have soften out,
except, possibly, because had been
away from home for a month on a
hunting trip.
My wife went out driving Saturday
and according to her custom, carried a
revolver for protection, because the
country is desOlate. When she return
ed she went Immediately 70 her room
/ saw her and talked with her a few
moments after she returned Shortly
after l left her apartment the shot rang
out and I rushed into the room and
discovered blood gushing from her abdo-
men.
Everything was done in Calverton TO
make her comfortable until the start 70
Washington was made. Doctors were
summoned and did all they could for
her. DR.. Kerr suggested that she be
brought 10 Washington for an opera
ton and this was done,
There is no truth in reports that
there was a quarrel between Mrs. Glib
and myself after she returned from her
drive.

Putting Revolver Away.

II am at a loss TO understand how the
shooting occurred unless the trigger or
the revolver was caught in the folds OF
my wife's dress or on something in the
cupboard and discharged the weapon.
She attempted TO place the revolver on
a high shelf in the cupboard when the
shooting occurred. The bullet shot
down from the shelf toward the floor
and in that way she was shot in the
stomach,
Il had been reading a short time be
fore she came in and left the room after
she took OF her coat and hat and start
ed 10 put the revolver away. When I
heard the shot and rushed back she
was lying on the floor and unable 20
speak The shooting was entirely aCci-
dental and any report to the contrary
is false, because there was no reason
Tor a deliberate discharge of the re-
vOlver."
Mr. Glib said he had relatives in New
York, hut none in st. Louis, a S reported,

pected TO be a sharp clash. II viii be

soned Congressional fighter opposed TO

member Of the lower house he was for
a long time private secretary 10 Seua-

and supported by the powerful Gent
er party, that some change in the
constitution was desirable to the end
of making the ministers responsible

The motions brought in, however,
varied considerably in their phraseol-

formulation will be reached.
4 The present plan is to refer the.
five resolutions on the subject to a
special committee for report, this
step to be taken after the speakers
have threshed out the subject in the

New York, Dec. 2.Depressed by
an apparently uncomfortable melan-
cholia, which has haunted him since
the suicide of his wife on an ILL
omened day, Friday, Nov. 10, last,
DR.. Randolph F. Hass, a Lexington
avenue dentist, today ended his life
by swallowing poison. He was kneel-
ing on the grave Of his wife in Wood
lawn cemetery as he drank the fatal
potion and a watchman, who, some
days ago, had prevented his suicide
with a revolver on the same spot,
was unable to reach him in time to
prevent the accomplishment of the
same purpose today. v s
DR.. Haas died within a few mo-
ments. One of his closest friends, DR..
Philip Goldstein, upon hearing Of the
tragedy, told of the heart broken ex-
istence DR.. Haas has led since the
death of his wife; that he had daily
visited and placed flowers on the
grave, had closed his home and gone
to live with his sister-in-law and had
neglected his practice.
His professional work, it was said,
had been largely dropped for some
time before his wife's death. because
Of an apparently insane jealousy on
her part toward his patients. For
more than a fortnight before shoot
ing herself, she had compelled him
to remain away from his office, and it
was as he was leaving their apart
ments to fill some important engage
m npean that she took her life. Mrs.
Haas was a remarkably beautiful wo-
man and the two had been married
but short time. $

Luck Of First Baby In Town.

It must be nice thing to be the
first baby in a new town and start life
with fistful Of stocks and bonds.
That was the good fortune of Wagner
William Norton, who was born Aug.
81 in Mildred, cement" town in Al
len county, Kan. Mildred Wagner, aft
er whom the town was named. gave
the baby a gold spoon, and j. w. Wag-
ner of Kansas City, after whom the
baby was named, gave the child solid
silver cup. And the manager of the
cement plant at Mildred was so graft
fed at the increase of population in
the little town that he gave the infant
q share Of preferred stock in the com
pany. 4.
The residents of the town are now
predicting an unusual augmentation of
settlers. but 1t is not unlikely that the
next baby will be lucky if 1t gets a
rubber doll. - Kansas City Star. Il
