OF BUCKEY SHOOTING
Coroner's Jury Finds Death of
Washington Dentist Was
Due to Accident.

| Joseph Weber, a clerk in the Post
| mont avenue northwest, was exonerated
hy coroner's jury at an inquest held
| early today at Forestville. Md. over
the body of DR.. Charles NJ. Buckley, a
| dentist, of this city, who was accident
ally shot and killed BY Weber while
| cunning on the Tayman farm, near
Forestville, yesterday afternoon.
Immediately after the verdict was
brought in Weber returned to Wash

1 Wells, superintendent of the Bradford
detective agency.
When the shooting occurred, DR.. John
E. Stansbury, of Forestville, was hasti-
ly summoned to the Tayman farm, and
had a narrow escape from death when
his automobile crashed into an iron
gate opening into a lane leading
| through the farm. Hurled from the
automobile when it struck the gate,
DR.. Stansbury was knocked unconscious
and was badly hurt about the hip and
body.
Accompanied by his nephew, Fayette
Smart, DR.. Buckley went to Forestville
yesterday morning for days hunting.
At Forestville they were Joined by Web,
others. The party had enjoyed good
days sport, and about o'clock in the
afternoon several of the gunners fired
at the same time at rabbit There
was a good-natured dispute as to who
had killed the rabbit. and 1t was de-
cided to draw straws.
while this was being done DR.. Buckley
walked a few feet away. Weber was
reloading his gun when, in some man
ner it was accidentally discharged, the
full force of the shot striking DR..
Buckley just back of the jaw, killing
him Instantly.
DR. Buckey was fifty-five years old
and lived at COZ Pennsylvania avenue
southeast: He was q native OF Wash
ington. He is survived by his wife,
two sisters, Miss Mary Buckley, of the

Boston Society Folk
Flock to Stable Fire

BOSTON, Nov. 2S.-Brookline had a
society fire early today. when the Brook
line Riding Academy was found in
flames. Automobiles brought scores of
horsemen and horsewomen to the barn,
begging the firemen for permission to
save their horses.
Fifty valuable horses were quartered
in the stable, and all were brought to
safety, though not until the building was
filled with smoke. Prominent Back Bay
society folk, hlrriedly dressed and shiv-
ering in the chill morning air, took their
frightened pets into side streets and
quieted them.
Police today investigated the fire in
the belief that it may have been incendi-
ary. The riding academy is a rambling
two-story building at Walnut street and
North avenue Brookline, owned by the
Boston Elevated Company. The dam
age was estimated at $1,000.

EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS.
All Classes Benefit by Carnegie Library

By GEORGE r. KING.

Charlotte. n. C.-There Is keen in
.erest manifested by the Afro Ameri-
cans in this city for good literature.
This unusual mental activity is n con-
spicuous evidence OF the trend OF the
race here to become influenced by great
Christian agencies that have nodded
other progressive races There are
hundreds OF public libraries through
out the southland. but Afro-Ameri-
cans are denied the use OF them for
such knowledge us they might wish to
obtain through book lore.
One can readily appreciate existing
conditions that have impeded the AFRO
Americans material advancement in
the realm OF good literature. The
class of books that will inspire our
youth Is not so easily procured in many
sections of the country. and because
of such there is u mental degeneration
in too many instances. and a poor con-
ception Of ennobling ideals il also the
result.

But Texas has more sons to offer for
christian service. Who knows but that
Texas has another prince in waiting
for newer day? In order to prepare
the coming prince Wiley must be kept
open. And for the reasons that Wiley
must be kept open, for the very same
reason must all of our Freedmen's Aid

Afro Americans In the United States
Soon to Come From the Press.
Nashville, Tenn.-Through the CO.
operative influence Of the representa-
lives of the various publications and
periodicals in the ranks of the National
Negro Press association since the cleo
tton of officers at the Chicago meeting
last August several forward steps
have been taken ''for the highest de-
velopment of Negro journalism"
One of the splendid moves, which
is a distinct accomplishment in the in
terest of the Press association, is the
work of the corresponding secretary in
the compilation of newspaper direc
tory. This book, which is now in the
hands of the printer, will be issued
from the press about June 10.
Mr.. Henry Allen Boyd of this
city has notified the president, Mr..
r. w. Thompson of Washington. and
the chairman of the executive commit
tee. Mr.. n. B. Dodson, that proofs of
the first two pages of the book have
been read. corrected and approved.
Interesting indeed is the matter con-
tanned in the publication. which. in
reality. is the first complete volume of
facts and statistics bearing directly
upon our newspapers, editors. printers.
publishers and bankers of the United
States. Secretary Boyd states that
the publication will contain complete
set of postal laws and regulations gov
ernins second class mail matter. which
will be of vital importance to publica-
lions seeking admission into the mails
as second class matter.
The book gives. as far as could be
ascertained. the name of every news
paper. magazine or publication issued
In, for or by the race. with the respec-
tive state and city in which 1t is pub
lished The name of the editor and
manager date of establishment and
circulation are also given as well as
the number Of papers published in each
state In addition to this. the author
has prepared an exceptionally well
prepared list OF printers supply houses.
which furnish paper. ink. type. type
setting machinery, engravers and IL
thOgraphers-
There is also an accurate list of the
banks, bankers and concerns doing a
banking business. This is regarded by
the compiler and author as vital. in
that 1t will give the local newspapers
an opportunity to know where the
financial institutions of the race are
located
Secretary Boyd declares that already
applications have come in for 800 cop
les Of the directory. The first books
issued will be sent to the officers. MEM
bers of the executive committee and.
members of the Press association. The
next lot to the business men and bank
ers in their order named. The publ
cation is to be limited. but the offer to
the members of the Press association
win entail only the actual expense of
the book.
4 personal letter has already been
sent to the association members stat
ing the object and virtues Of the Ma
tional Negro Newspaper Directory,
Publishers and Printers Guide. The
mechanical work on the book is being
done by the National Baptist Publish
ing board at Nashville. Tenn, of which

One bruise was on the chest. An
other was on the right forearm.
Others were on the right temple and
Jaw, with minor bruises elsewhere
about the body. There was no evil
dence of deliberate violence.
The theory was accepted that Mr..
Catchings had hooked one OF the Dig
sea bass that are said to be running
nlentifulIv in those waters just now,
and had been dragged into the water
before he could brace himself and
that the line being wrapped around
one hand or becoming entangied
around his body he was towed under
water by the terrified fish and so was
killed. This theory is supported by
the report that several fishermen
have been jerked into the water near
there recently. from boats or JettS
rocks from which they were fishing
|, seems to be supported further By
| the fact that Mr.. Catchings rlgh
hand was severely confused upon the
knuckles and a ring on one finger o
/ that hand was driven hard upon the
flesh. 1t might have been that th'
i line was wrapped and caught arount
