United Railroads Conductor and
His Wife Declare Wound
Was Accidental

Although Jesse D Kendall, conductor
of the United Railroads, and his wife.
Eta, declare that the shooting of Ken
dali in their rooms in the basement of
446 Scott street late Thursday night
was accidental, the police are not sat
isfed and thorough investigation is
being made.
1t was discovered yesterday morning
that there was bullet hole in the
door leading from the KITCHEN TO the
bedroom and powder marks close TO
the hole on the kitchen side. The
theory of the police is that when Ken
dali and his wife returned from the
Van Ness theater they quarreled and
Mrs Kendall reached for the revolver.
which Kendall had placed on the table
in the kitchen. Kendall sprang into
the bedroom, slamming the door and
pressing his shoulder against it to pre-
vent his wife from entering. Then the
woman fired the shot through the door
the bullet striking Kendall on the
arm and passing round his body lodged
in his back.
Policeman Gus WolIweber, who oc-
cupies the upper fiat and heard the shot
said yesterday that when he entered
the rooms of the Kendalls Mrs. Ken
dali said TO him that she had accident
ally shot her husband and Kendall also
said il was an accident AT the central
emergency hospital yesterday Kendall
signed a written statement in Woll-
weber's presence TO the same effect.
WolIweber said that the KendaIls had
occupied the basement since January
and neither he nor any member of his
family ever heard them quarreling.
Mrs. Kendall will be detained at the

tion. Kendalrs wound is not serious.

the publicity of campaign funds is to
be made feature of the coming cam
paign has been made very clear today.
Mr. Taft had extended talks with
Chairman Hitchcock and with George
r. Sheldon, treasurer of the national
committee who arrived today, and
the necessity for the strictest possible
compliance with the New York law in
relation to the publicity of campaign
funds of the national committee was
the chief topic. Referring to sugges-
tions that the republican party might
receive funds outside of New York and
not include them in the report of the
national treasurer. Mr.. Taft replied
promptly that it was possible to com
NIT perjury in such a case but he
secuted the idea that the purpose of
giving publicity to the funds of the
party in the coming national cam
paign is not entirely sincere. Mr.. Shell
don also declared that the New York

come to the national committee in
