ANxIoUsLY
AWAIT BILLS FATE
More Than One Hundred Old Sol
oilers Uncertain Whether They
Can Attend Reunion.

There are more than 100 of the District
civil war veterans, from the ranks OF
both the Blue and Gray who are anx-
iously awaiting this morning to hear OF
the disposition of the bill before the
Pennsylvania Legislature for the appro-
priation OF an additional $4,000 to take
care of the veterans whose accommoda-
ton is not provided for in the funds
appropriated up to date.
Nothing aficial had been heard last
night at the War Department. and those
in charge OF the transportation OF the
old soldiers cannot make their final plans
until they know whether this bill has
passed or not.
On the list of Col. Thomas s. Hopkins,
representing the District on the Gettys-
burg commission, there are now the
names of 4O5 veterans who will be able
to 20 from Washington, and besides
these there is a waiting list OF more
than 100, who will only be able to take
part in the reunion II the bill for ad-
ditional appropriation passes the Legisia-
ture of Pennsylvania
Col. Hopkins is confidently expecting
TO hear today from Col Lewis E. Better,
secretary of the Pennsylvania Gettysburg
commission, as to the fate of the bill. and
then he will be able to close up all the
arrangements
Lincoln's Gettysburg address Will De
read at the reunion by Barry Buckley.
Mr.. Buckley is a dramatic reader OF note
in the Capital, and his father. DR.. John
Wells Buckley, was one Of the hrst OF
the physicians to reach the side OF Presi-
dent Lincoln when he was shot, and re-
manned with the President until mis-
death.
The old soldiers from the District will
leave for the battlefield Sunday by two
special trains. One leaves over the Balu-
more and Ohio at $50 o'clock in the
morning and the other over the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at $50 O'Clock in the aft
ernoon. The trip will be made in about
three and a half hours.

SOLON FIGURES
in AGAR Fight
Representative Dies Said to
Have Struck Conductor
After Breaking Glass.
POLICEMAN Is SUMMONED
Complete Investigation Of the Matter
Is Nov Being Conducted by
Railroad officials.

The dramatic details of an exciting
street car tight last Monday evening,
during which Representative Martin
Dies OF Texas. the principal ngure, is
alleged to have blackened the eye OF a
conductor, after first breaking window
with his fist. were made public yester-
day, when an investigation was COM
meneed by officials OF the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
The disturbance occurred about
o'clock Monday evening on crowded
car of the City and Suburban line, that
was speeding toward the outskirts OF
the city. Representative Dies was on
his way to MS nome, at Mount rainier,
and was occupying a seat with ms wife.
Tne aisle was crowded ana the rear
platform was well filled. Tne atmos-
phere was very stuTy and oppressive,
and the Representative arose to raise
window. He tugged at the frame with
all his might. but to no avail, for the
WINDOW was SUCK ugnL
Story Witnesses Tell.
Becoming exasperated at the stuborn-
ness of the window, the Representative,
so say witnesses, struck the plate glass
pane with his bare fist, shattering II into
fragments. Conductor Oliver heard the
crash Just as the car was passing Thlrd
and Randolph Streets Northeast. and hur-
riedly pushed his way along the aisle OF
the over-crowded car toward the scene
of the commotion.
whats the trouble?" the conductor
declares he inquired of the Congressman
upon reaching his side. Representative
Dies is said TO have remained silent. After
a pause oliver is said to have inquired
again:
What's the matter? Are you deaf and
dumb
Like a flash the Representative was out
Of his seat, and as he leaped toward the
conductor, he is said to have shouted:
Yes. l smashed the window, and III
smash you if l lay my hands on you.
Despite the pleadings of his wife, who
tugged at his coat, and urged him to
return TO his seat, Representative Dies
according TO the railway report, took
poke at Oliver, striking him squarely IN
the eye and discolOring the flesh.
Several passengers struggled TO lay
hands upon the Congressman, but the
pIeadinss of Mrs. Dies restored order and
averted a battle royal.
The car had advanced several blocks
when the motorman noticed a mount
ed policeman. The car was stopped
and the bluecoat was called. Copious
notes were taken concerning the affair
and the car continued on its way.
A complete investigation of the matter
is now being conducted by railway Off
Gals, and if the testimony of the con-
ductor to the effect that the Representa-
tive broke the window apparently in fit
of anger is corroborated. prosecution of
the Representative is likely to result.
