last NIGHT
BROTHERS-IN-LAW ENGAGE IN
FIGHT AND PISTOL is, DIS
CHARGED DURING MELEE.

The vicinity of Prince and Royal
strea.s last night about 700 o'clock
was the scene of considerable excite
ment, and for a time it was supposed
one of the combattants in fight had
been MORALLY wounded. Considerable
relief was afforded when it was as
certsined that the man supposed to
have been shos was merely suffering
from an abrasion on the face, the re-
suit of being knocked down.
The arrival of the wagon belonging
to the Alexandria Laundry Company
on the scene and the transportation to
the Alexandria Hospital of the man
supposed to have two DULLES in him
augmented the excitement, which was
only alleged when it was ascertained
that the pistol shots had gone wild.
May reports were circulated regard
ing the origin of the fight which had
occurred between William Oehlert and
A. E. Smoot, the latter, having mar
red Oehlert's sister. Oehlert went to
the Relief truck house, where he had
located Smoot, and called the latter
out. An angry colloquy between the
two men followed, which resulted in
fight, during which Oehlert knocked
Smoot down. The latter upon failing
drew pistol, which was Immediately
taken from him by Oehlert. 1t is
claimed yhe weapon was accidentally
discharged twice, but other reports
are 70 the effect that Oehlert, after 90
tanning possession Of it, discharged
the pistol in the air and not with in
tention of shooting his antagonist.
After Smoot had been placed in
the hospital DR.. Jones made an exam
nation and stated that he was unin
jurcd so far as pistol shots were con-
cerned, but that he had emerged from
the fight with bruised face.
Smoot later left for his home, and
Oehlert, who was on his way to the
station house with the pistol, was met
by Sergeant Scott, who accompanied
him thither.
He gave security for his appearance
in the Police Court this morning, his
father becoming his surety.
Both men were in the cour:. when
the case was called. Gardner L.
Boothe was counsel for Smoot. Mr.
Smoot identified the pistol as his own
this morning in court.
1t was necessary to postpone an in
vestig'2tion of the case until Tuesday
next in order to secure witness, a
soldier from Fort Hunt, who was, i.
is said, an eyewitness of the trouble.
Family troubles were the cause of
the fight.

NEW FACES SEEN IN
D. A. R. MANAGE MENT
Administration Faction, Al
though 1t Lost President,
Has Five of Nine on Board.

A meeting of the board of manage
ment Of the D. A. R. will be held to-
morrow at Continental Hall with the
new president-general presiding and
several new faces appearing among the
members. This meeting of the board
of management. which is composed of
the general officers, Is provided for in
the bylaws of the society and closely
follows the election of new officers.
Although the old administrator"
lost the president-general at the election
members of the board of management
and some interesting sessions Of that
body are expected.
The Story leaders, having won their
fight, are now talking peace as hard as
they can, and it is hoped and expected
by them that the board meetings will
be less strenuous than convention floor
contests. Sessions of the board OF
management are executive.
Nearly all the Daughters have left
Washington. Those who remain here
tomorrow will make a pilgrimage to
Mt Vernon, where they are unable to
go today because IL is closed Sundays.
The resolution offered by Miss Janet
Richards that Mt Vernon be open 10
the public Sundays has created much
discussion in Washington. Only one or
two dissenting votes were cast against
the resolution. which laid stress on the
fact that the present rule Of closure
works certain hardships upon both Wis
itors to the city and those residents of
Washington who are employed every
week day, thousands of whom have
never been able to visit Mt. Vernon"
This question Of opening Mt. Vernon
Sundays is now a matter of nationwide
discussion. Dispatches regarding the
resolution were sent all over the
country.

CARTER CONFESSION
Friends Say PugiIist Admitted
Donovan Murder When He
Was Using Drugs.

BOSTON, April 2N.-Welcoming the
sight of any face after the period he
had spent in solitary confinement,
Kid Carter. the pugilist who has just
started serving a life sentence at the
Charlestown prison. was this noon ques-
toned in detail by Middlesex county
officers in an attempt to either refute
or verify his startling confession of hav-
ing murered Mrs. Mildred Donovan a
few hours prior to the shooting Of Will
lam Mcpherson,
The friends of the pugilist assert ttat
his confession came as the result OF
mind deranged from the use of Nor
phine. which was smuggled h.to his
-dso L: IlRl leens s5IIBuO sq( uI LOO
SHES buried in bananas.
DR.. A. F. Christian. the Harvard
psychologist, today ascribed the Con-
fession to Carter's desperate mental
life sentence for shooting Mcpherson
Medical Examiner DureIl and the police
officials are both convinced that If Mrs.
Donovan was murdered by Carter it
was not In the manner he described, of
placing the thumb nail against the
thoraX.
If she died at his hands instead Of an
epileptic attack they believe it was
through blow in the face which felled
her and that a rush of blood from her
nose entered her windpipe and choked
her. The authorities refused 20 give
out any details of the grilling given
Carter in his cell when they left the
jail early this afternoon.

ROW OVER WIRELESS
BETWEENDELEGATES
Differences Of Americans at
Recent Conference Are Told
by Dr.. A. G. Webster.

Friction between groups of Ameri-
can delegates to the recent interna
tioral wireless telegraphic conference
was disclosed yesterday by Dr. Arthur
Gordon Webster. of Clark University.
Worcester. Mass. DR.. Webster spoke
before the American philosophical So
ciety's annual meeting in Philaiel-
phia-
Two branches of the United States
Government are concerned in the fric-
ton, according TO DR.. Webster. One
group, consisting of John 1. Waterbury,

for the Department OF Commerce and
Labor. filed al American report at the
conference, but Admiral John r. Ed
wards, for the army and navy dele
three months later.
The Department Of Commerce and
Labor delegates. according to DR.. Web
ster, wanted an early report filed so
that Congress might know of il and act
accordingly in wireless legislation then
pending These same delegates insisted
that only the broad international ques-
tions should be considered in the re-
port, leaving out such matters as the
needs of army and navy telegraphy.
This was the rock on which the
American delegation split. The Com
merce and Labor delegates refused to
sign. a report embracing other than the
broad international questions.
Tue Commerce and Labor, report
reathed Congress in time for action,
which. resulted In changes in the wire
less Legislation then In process Of con-
structcn-.s President Taft approved the
law. .E-.- ~
Then three months later the army and
navy delegates presented a report, ask
ing the Commerce and Labor delegates
to sign, but this they refused. This
second report, Dr. Webster charges, was
scarcely more than a military one.
Dr. Webster gave John l. Waterbury
much of the credit for getting the re-
port across the water In time for early
action. DR.. Webster himself was In
strumental in speaking for the Com
merce and Labor delegates.
He declared today that he did not
care to start a controversy on the sub
ject OF the two reports, but that he Was
inclined to feel that the public should
have the facts Of the situation.

Expectoration Raped
By Health Department

ANY person who expectorates in pub
lie places should be condemned as an
undesirable citizen"
This is the statement of the Health
Department in its weekly bulletin, made
public today. Such persons, the de-
partment declares, are menace to the
health of the community
THE Health Department has upon
several occasions called attention TO this
habit not only for esthetic reasons. but
for the higher purpose Of preventing
the spread of tuberculosis" says the
bulletin. Tuberculosis is not the only
disease which may be transmitted by
careless expectoration. Many States
have laws against careless eXpectOra-
tion, and such. indeed. is the case in
the District, but prosecutions for Vio-
lation of the ordinance are conspicuous
by their absence"
