Convinced Man Charged With
Shooting Young Reilly l.,
Still in Washington.
SEEN BY CAR CONDUCTOR
Fugitive Visited Home of the
woman HaterS' Club" in
Northeast, on Friday.

TaIallY WOunQeQ FRANCIS A. hellly
secretary to Senator Bristow, is still
IN Washington, police of the Ninth
precinct this afternoon are keeping
under close surveillance house in q
suburb of the northeast where
Schultz was a frequent visitor.
1t was learned today that Schultz
visited this place either Friday morn
ing or afternoon. and if he is still in
Washington the police think he will
try to reach this house.
Positive He Saw Schultz.
Major Sylvester, Superintendent of
Police, said this afternoon that he
believed Schultz was still in the vi
cinity of the District, and this theory
is greatly strengthened by the state
ment of Conductor Edwards, of the II
street line. who is positive Schultz
got of his car at Ninth street and
New York avenue shortly before last
midnight.
The house in the northwest which
the police are watching is the head
quarters Of several young men who
call themselves the Woman Haters'
Club" Schultz was a member of this
rather informal organization. All OF
the members of the club have been
closely questioned by the police, but
deny any knowledge of schultz's
whereabouts. All said they had no
knowledge that he had returned from
the West until they read of the shoot
ing in the papers.
Schultz At House Friday.
The police say, however. that they
have learned positively that Schultz
was at this house some time Friday
1t is believed that he may have been
at the place at the time the other
bachelors who belong to the organ
ization and have living apartments in
the house. were at work, which ac-
counts for the fact that they did not
see him. The man who runs the
house, and who was there all day
Friday, said he did not see Schultz
While the police are confident
Schultz is now in the District, the
orly clue to his Wherea bouts since he
was seen walking along the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks near Tuxedo,
Md, about two hours after the shoot
ing Saturday morning, is the infor-
nation given by Conductor Edwa rds
his places him in the heart of the
city just before last midnight.
Recognized Him from Pictures.
Edwards told the police that a man
whom he recognized as Schultz from
the pictures printed in The Times Sat
urday, bearded his car about II o'clock
last night at Chesapeake Junction.
As soon as the man got on the car
Edwards was struck by his close re
semblance TO the pictures of Schultz
He had made a mental note of the cuts
in The Times. and so positive was he
that the man was Schultz. that when
Policeman Brennan. of the Second pre-
cinct boarded the car after it got in
the city. he called the officers atten-
tion to the man. Brennan, however, did
not think the passenger was Schultz
and declined to place him under arrest.
When the car reached Ninth street
and New York avenue at lbs. the man
got of and started walking down Ninth
street
When Edwards came off duty he went
directly TO the Ninth precinct station
and told of having seen the man he be
lieved was Schultz. He was shown an
original photograph Of the fugitive and
positively identified 1t as the man on the
car.
Brennan, however. asserts that he is
positive the man was not Schultz.
Acting on the information given by
the conductor, Lieutenant Hartley, in
charge Of the detective bureau at night.
Immediately set a new police draEret
ell over the city in the hope OF appTe-
hending the fugitive. for the arrest of
whom a reward of $25 has been offered.
However, the police failed to get any
further clue TO Schultzs whereabouts.
Reilly Seems Stronger Today.
Although Heilly's condition is still
critical, DR.. King. resident surgeon
at Casually Hospital. said this morn
ing that the patient spent g"o0
night and seemed q. little stronger
than he did yesterday. These symp-
toms are regarded as most favOra bic,
as he commenced sinking after the
operation Saturday, and up to last
night no nope was entertained of mis-
recovery.
The phsicians say the only thing
which will Pull Reilly through is his
remarkable physical condition. The
Young man was in perfect health
before being shot. and the fact tnat
ne has lived this long shows ne has
wonderful vitality.
Three thousand descriptive ciIcu-
lars will be sent out for Schdl.Z from
Iolice headquarters tomorrow m"Tn-
ing. These will contain a photo
graph and minute description OF the
fugitive. and VIII be sent all over the
country. The delay in getting out the
circulars is due to the fact that Sat
Trday is a half holiday in all union
Lrlnt shops in Washington.
Reported Schultz Came Here.
Police OF several cities and the au-
thorities of all nearby towns and
villages have been notified by wire
10 keep a sharp Iooitout for Schultz. |
II Reilly continues TO show improve
nIent throughout the day ii is probable
the detectives will endeavor to obtain /
some statement from him this evening
o. tomorrow. They are particularly
anxious TO get at the bottom of the |
shooting, and, If possible, learn from
Reilly the actual motive for the at |
tempted killing
The only theory so far advanced is |
that Schultz was prompted TO attempt |
F. "a Kill his erstWbilc pat because Of |
the tEeaking of of the close friendship |
which had existed between him and the
