Gun Stops Church Services

evening, while a special service was
being held In the building. 1t Is
charged that Irelan fired four shots
from a double-barrel shotgun on tho
building. While no one was struck
by the shot, 1t SO frightened the audi
ence that the meeting was quickly
brought to a close and the people
quietly stole to their homes. Wit
nesses also allege that person, whom
they had every reason to believe was
lrelan. had fired on the building be-
fore, and once some person planned
to burn 1t, boxes covered with oil be-
ing found under the rear steps.
Irelan made statement, in which
he admitted that he fired the gun, but
not in the direction of the building:
that 1t was his purpose to try to break
up the noise made by singing and not
to hurt any one: that he had In mind
for several days to fire the gun, for he
removed the shot and placed powder
in the barrels SO that he would not
injure any one when he shot. His only
excuse seemed to be that the singing
was kept up until ten o'clock at night
and it interfered with his sleep, and
in reply to Prosecutor Sinnickson.s
question as to why he shot he said
that he thought he could deaden the
sound of the singing by firing the gun.
Justice OF the Peace Wheaton as
serted that when Irelan was accused
of attempting to fire the building he
made the remark that If the members
of the congregation did anything to
him he would burn all their properties.
and also that of the church. This
Irelan denied at the hearing.

Tramp Is Placed on a Respect

How One Family on outskirts o. Ma

Wanderers Work for Their
Beard and Lodging.

Misunderstanding either the
servant problem or the tramp problem
has proved too big an undertaking for
the sociologists. In fact, many arm
chair professors and practical charity
workers have spent time on both
without much affecting either. Yet
members Of family residing ON the
outskirts Of Washington have solved
both problems 1t once, considerably
to their satisfaction.
The persons In question are located
= little outside Of this city ON the
pike leading to Baltimore. They are
quiet and unassuming people. There
are a good many tramps on that road.
There is an annual migration Of them

they go as far as New York, get a

er and then drift back south. Some
Of the men are temporarily unem-
ployed. Others are chemically out
of work. Some of them drink little,
most OF them drink good deal; but
they all want to eat occasionally. and
that is where the suburbanites re-
TERED to get their servants.
The man and his wife residing on
the pike do not keep servant. but
they nearly always have one. 1t hap
pens this way: They used to be wor.
ried great deal by tramps appear
ing at the back door for a hand-out.
They did not like to refuse man
something to eat II he was really
hungry, and they figured that II he
was hungry he was willing to work
for a meal. So they made a rule OF
making him an offer Of a supper II he
would work 1t out chopping wood,
pumping water or doing some odd job
around the house. Some of the tramps
wanted to sleep In the barn all night
and work for their breakfast next
morning. They were accommodated
to that extent, too, but the man and
his wife were afraid they would set
fire to the barn smoking. and finally
they decided to fix up a tramp's room
In the basement. They put in a cot
a small looking glass and even a razor
and washstand. They had to pick the
applicants they admitted to the tran
silent roof over night.
But they did not make any mis-
takes. and presumably the fame Of
this roadside rest house spread among
the tramp fraternity, for they got
more and more applicants for Q
nights lodging. Some Of the tramps
wanted to stay and work several days
In fact. there was one very good man
who could turn his hand to almost
anything. who stayed for five months
They paid him a small wage in addi

found that he was good cook In
