They believe that 1t is far better both for

SHOT IN THE STOMACH:
WOUND PROVES FATAL
Charles Brooks Dies of In
juries inflicted by George
Jackson.

George jackson, negro, is sought by
the police to answer for the fatal shooting
at an early hour this morning Of Charles
Brooks. another negro, of 1872 Half street
southwest. Brooks was shot through the
stomach, and died this afternoon. His
condition was SO critical when he was
taken to the Emergency Hospital that the
detectives, Grant, Springmann and Null
len, were unable to get much information
from him.
Lieut. Flather, Detective Kleindienst
and Policemen Monk and Heathcote of
the fourth precinct participated in the
search for Jackson, and, 1t is said, learned
he had made an attempt to cross the
river into Virginia. officers crossed the
river before daybreak, and started the
search for him.
Scene of the Shooting.
The shooting occurred at Delaware ave-
nue. and street, and, according to the
police. was witnessed by several persons.
including Mary Turner. about whom the
men are alleged to have quarreled. Mary
was later questioned by Lieut.. F1ather.
She related to him the story Of an affair
which has added another homicide case to
the already long list Of such crimes in the
District.
According to the information obtained
by the police, the men started a quarrel
while on the n Street bridge over the
James Creek canal They walked along
the street from the bridge to Delaware
avenue and street, the police were
told, continuing the quarred, and jackson,
it is charged, drew his revolver and fired
one shot at Brooks, the bullet passing
through the latter's body. Brooks drop
ped to the pavement.

Democrats Watch Situation.

The democrats have been watching the
republican situation carefully, and it is
claimed they have discovered that In
every state in the Union there will be
the semblance at least Of two republican
| tickets. In some states, they say, the
Taft ticket will be the regular ticket and
the bull moose party will be the offshoot
of the rump convention. and In other
states the condition will be reversed.
However. they fear coalition will take
place that will block the democratic plan
Of taking advantage of a split.
Republicans are inclined to keep silent
on this point, well on many other
points, until the campaign assumes def
mite shape 1t is to be assumed however,
that neither of the rival republican
camps will admit Of a coalition or alli-
ance of any sort. but the democrats are
of the opinion that, regardless of what
the leaders say, the state politicians, not
| wishing to be cast upon the beach by
the wash of a successful democrat, will
enter into any sort of agreement to beat
their opponents.

TALK OF COMBINE
Uniting Electors on Republican
Tickets Discussed.
AS A DEMOCRATIC CHECK
Plan Aimed at Shutting Out Wood.
row Wilson Is Being Considered
by Politicians.

Should there be two republican tickets
In the field next November many far
seeing republicans at the Capitol and in
some of the states are considering the
advtsability of combining the electors on
the two tickets. This is the rumor that
is gaining headway at the Capitol, and.
If carried out successfully, may end in
the shutting out of Woodrow Wilson at
the polls.
1t is being talked of by democrats and
republicans alike ION the hill," and
although a definite statement on the sub
ject is hard to obtain, there is no doubt
about the existence Of the scheme. Re-
publicans in Pennsylvania have been
planning a coup of this sort, and many
democrats in this city are understood to
be afraid Of combination Of this kind
To effect this plan. II there are two re-
publican tickets in the field. it would be
necessary to have each of the tickets
carry the identical presidential electors.
Therefore, the electors would he bound
to respect the wishes of the party, cast
their votes for the candidate favored by
the majority of the party in his state,
and save a split which would allow the
democrats probably to walk through the
middle.
IF this scheme is resorted to-" said
democratic representative, lit would
mean the elimination Of Woodrow Will

Scene of the Shooting.
Sent on Wrong Trail.

Policemen on reaching the scene of the
shooting encountered some difficulty in
ascertaining the identity of the one who
fired the shot. They were first told that
it had been fired by man named West
and, starting on the wrong trail, lost val
liable time. Before daybreak the officers
were told that Jackson had done the
shooting. A description of him was OBJ
tanned and the detectives and policemen
went in pursuit Of him.

Precautions Against Sickness.

The authorities at the camp are pleased
to learn that the children are to fight
the flies, not only because the absence
Of flies will make the visit of the guests
more pleasant. but because of the most
important object Of the camp-looking to
the health Of the community. Every pre-
caution is taken to prevent any Sickness
and no woman or child is accepted until
he or she has been carefully examined
by a physician to insure that none has
any contagious disease. But, neverthe-
sometimes happens that sickness cannot
be averted. and when once started flies
are the champion distributors OF disease
germs.
The children enjoy the killing of the
flies and are not compelled in any way
to enter the campaign: in fact the vol
unteer fly fighters include practically all
Of the children.
