LIVES BUT FEW MINUTES

Lewis simms. Il, of Clarendon, Va,
shot by a PLAYMATE at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, died in an automobile en- route
to Georgetown University Hospital. With
bullet wound near his heart, he lived
but a few minutes.
Young Slmms was playing with Bernard
Miller and Lewis Hester, all of the same
age. and living in Clarendon. in the Mil
Ter boys home. A .22-caliber rifle was
the chief attraction and 1t was for its
possession that the three were struggling.
Miller and Hester were stunned by the
shooting and unable TO give authorities
detailed account of the accident All
three were holding the gun when 1t was
discharged, but 1t was not established
who pulled the trigger.
DR.. Ralph A. Quick and Dr. J. H. Wal
ton, OF Cherrydale, were called to the
home where the boy was shot. They
gave him a cursory examination, and
deeming hospital attention necessary,
started for Georgetown University Hos
pitsl in their automobile with the dying
boy.
The boy died while the automobile was
crossing Aqueduct Bridge. 1t is improb-
able an inquest will be held by Virginia
authorities. Neither Miller nor Hester
was taken into custody.

US reliable information. the chief clerks
In the departments and bureaus directly
affected by this rider. / have here the
opinions OF these men who distribute
the work of the clerks under them"
Mr.. Gallivan referred to letters from
the chief clerks Of practically all the
government departments unanimously
declaring that in addition to working
great hardships upon the clerks, the Bor-
land rider would certainly not haye the
effect OF reducing the number of em-
ployes. Representative Borland objected
to the reading of these opinions, saying
that they formed no part Of the hear
ings on the legislative bill.
Boriand Objects to Letters.
II would say" replied Gallivan
quickly, while the House laughed. that
have here volume of 100 printed
pages giving a complete record of the
hearings on this bill. and that there is
not in that entire record one word con-
corning this proposal or anything related
TO it."
Representative Borland insisted on the
point of order against the reading of the
letters, and Mr.. Gailivan did not press
the matter, seeing that the chair was
prepared to sustain the point or order
raised by Representative MondeII.
Prior to considering the Borland rider,
the amendment authorizing the Depart
ment of Labor to lease a building con-
structed for its tenancy for a period Of
five years at an annual rental of S24.o0C
was knocked out on a point Of order made
by Representative H. A. Cooper, of Wis
consin.
The chair also sustained a point of
order against an amendment offered by
Representative Heating, of Colorado,
creating q court of appeals for disrnissals
and demotions in the classified service
