Working on Attempted Shoot
ing of Delaware Senator in
Washington.
HE THINKS IT AN ACCIDENT

Special Dispatch From Every EYnhg' .
Washington Correspondent
Washington. Aug. ao.-Detectives
from the police department of the Dis
trict Of Columbia have started an In
yestigation into tho attempted assassi-
nation OF Senator Ball of Delaware,
which happened near Thomas Circle
about two months ago. and which
Senator Ball kept quiet until few
days since.
The officials are making a thorough
search for the person who fired the
shot. which pierced Senator Balls
clothing and grazed his leg. 1t is
up and the miscreant made to suffer
for his crime
About that time Senator Ball re-
ceived number of threatening letters
declaring he would be shot II he per-
sisted IN his efforts to extend the life
of the rent act. but, 1t is said, Senator
Ball does not think that the shot WAS
fired by any one who was trying to
take his life, but that it was due
prohly TO the accidental discharge of
weapon.
Senator Ball is reported in n local
paper here as commenting on the IN
cident as follows:
threatening letters never worry
me. and l have done everything pos
sibie TO prevent publicity in this mat
ter. The fact that the incident oc-
cured shortly after l introduced my
amendment suggests. of course, that
the shot may have been fired by op-
ponents of the bill. 10 frighten me and
20 deter me from working TO have the

TRIPLE ALLIANCE NOT
FAVORED At CAPITAL
Washington Will Stick to Policy
of Avoiding Foreign En-
tangIements.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening


Washington, d. c., Aug. 2o.-An un-
favorable reaction was registered in
official circles here today against
Premier Lloyd Georges suggestion in
the British House OF Commons of q
triple alliance of Japan, the United
States and Great Britain es a substi-
tute for the Ango-Japanese alliance.
In view of the fact that no concrete
proposal has been made to this Gov
ernment official comment was with
held. but it was made clear that the
United States does not intend to de-
part from its traditional objection OF
foreign alliances. In the place of al
liances it is clear President Harding
and Secretary Hughes hope for the
establishment of principles and pol
'xies," adherence to which will make
alliances unnecessary.
The immediate aim is to apply these
principles to the Far Eastern question
and to make them sufficiently broad
to cover international relationships
generally and to furnish the basis for
an international eodethe first step
in the establishment of an information
al court.
Inc Q1S1Oltlifi6 ifatdif III hiit idof u
George address was the intimation that
Great Britain would cling to the Jap
anese alliance unless the triple alliance
or "understan nding" could be substi-
tuted for it, II this position is main
tained it is realized it win be more
difficult to reach a common agreement
on policies. 1t is not believed. how
ever. that this suggestion will prove
an insuperable barrier.
In opposing the suggestion of a
triple alliance the Harding admins
tration apparently is working its way
toward a point where it can urge the
advantage of adopting those general
principles to which all nations can ad-
here.
1t Is recognized that the British
Government probably is meeting with
embarrassment in handling the queA
ton OF renewing the Aago-Japanese al
lance and there is no disposition here
TO enlbarras either Japan or Great
Britain in reaching an understanding.
