LAWYERS CONFER AND
TALK OF A COMPROMISE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, March 2f-With Book
er T. Washington stu In his apart
ments In the Hotel Manhattan today,
suffering from the beating he received
Sunday night, at the hands of Henry
A. ulrich, the white man. who accused
him of accosting his wife, his attorney
said he hoped the negro educator
would be able to get to court this
afternoon to prosecute his assailant
There were rumors early today that
the case might be settled out Of court.
Many friends of Dr. Washington were
inclined TO think Ulrich had been
justified to some extent in suspecting
the president Of Tuskegee, who ad-
mits entering the hallway of the house
ii IL West Sixty-third street three
times within half an hour. While
Dr. Washington considered he had a
legitimate errand there, his friends
say that Ulrich. not knowing who he
was, might naturally have assumed
that he was a negro loiterer.
Lawyers Confer.
Washmgton's lawyer, Wilford H..
Smith. has had two conferences win
James ]. Moore. attorney for Ulrich.
at which he is said by Moore to have
tried to find out the nature and extent
of the testimony to be given by UIrich
and his wife. Following these con-
ferences 1t was reported that an
agreement had been reached whereby
Washington would drop the case, but
this could not be confirmed.
IL developed today that ID. c. Smith.
auditor of Tuskegee, for whom DR..
Washington says he was searching
Sunday night, maintains only an Office
in this city. Il is at No. 80 Broad
way, and Smiths residence is at
Montclair, n. j. AT his home. the
caretaker In charge, said today that
Smith is at Tuskegee, and has beer
there for a month.
DR.. Washington Explains.
DR.. Washington insisted today tina
the police and newspaper reporters
who saw him in the station house Sun
day misunderstood or misquoted
him when they said he said then tina
he had received a letter or a Telegram
asking him to call and see smith.

carried in my mind that he woul
be found in the apartment of som
acquaintance near the house I visited
and was looking for him when tn
affair happened"
If the case is not settled by the al
! torneys il was said by Ulrich toda
that he would demand that the cour
entertain his charge Of illegal entr
against the negro educator He sal
] he had five witnesses to prove hi
allegations.
Later IN the morning the doctO
said he was feeling better and tina
he saw no reason why he should no
be able TO appear in court this after
noon to prosecute Ulrich. He IN
sisted that he had nothing to concea
and was anxious that the entir
/ episode should be made a part Of tn

NO SMOKING

Thou Shalt Not Smoke While on
Duty" was the order issued from the
main office of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company yesterday. Since
that time the well seasoned pipes of
the employees have been laid on the
shelf. The cigarettes and cigars also
are not in evidence today and the en-
ployes who have the smoking habit
can hardly wait until their hours OF
employment are at an end. Some OF
the employees think the order a good
one but this is not the feeling Of the
habitual smoker.
A similar order was issued by the

The courage displayed d by Mrs.
Marian Layton, who lives in Newlin's

ternoon, was too much for Foreman

Company who spent the greater part
of yesterday trying to erect pole on
Mrs. Layton's property. She won out
and the pole which was to have been
placed on her property now stands in
the yard Of a neighbor who lives in
King street
Mrs. Layton finds it necessary to
keep the alleyway. to the court open
and she did not intend to have a pole
planted in It, Consequently when the
linemen appeared on the scene and
dug the hole for the pole she stepped
into it and stayed there most Of the
day. She had previously told the men
that she would not permit them to
place the pole there. but Tarbutton re-
marked, Wen show you whether we
will no not Go to digging men" Sc
they dug.
Don't that beat -," said the fore
man when Mrs. Layton planted herself
in the hole where the pole was to go
Maybe il does" calmly remarked
Mrs. Layton, but you don't plant any
pole in this hole, and / dare you tC
| touch me-"
Don't fear, madam, we are not go

! lineman, "gO get the pole" And the
men forthwith got their little roller
cart and produced the pole, which, she
says, they rolled off the wagon wheT
/ they got opposite her, and gentleman
/ ly rolled the big pole into her lap AnC
she rolled it out again.
The four men went across the stree
and sat on the steps of st. Patrick'
/ school where they held a council o
war. In the meantime Mrs. Layton haC
partly refilled the hole the men dug
| Finally they returned and dug an
other hole and when they had com
pleted it Mrs. Layton placed her sol
in it and dared the men to touch him
The men left and sometime later re

his pocket and said to his men:
Here's the paper boys. go ahead ami
