KEPT IT SECRET
Attempt Was Made to Assassi'
nate German President.
Helmet of One of Ebert's Guards
Pierced by Bullet.

Berlin, Feb. ga shot fired at
President Friedrich Ebert's house a
few days ago narrowly missed killing
a. guardsman, it was learned today.
Authorities made every effort to
keep the incident secret. The shot
apparently came from the roof of for
mer State Secretary Kuhlman's house,
across the Wilhelmstrasse from the
presidents.
Guardsmen immediately rushed the
Kuhlmann home but found no one
there except the porter who declared
the shot could not possibly have come
from that residence. He suggested it
might have been fired from some
neighboring roof.
The bullet pierced the helmet of
the Ebert guardsman. 1t apparently
was nearly spent when it struck.
The Ebert home sits well back from
the street. Newspapers refrained
from publishing the incident.

PUSHED IT THRU
Dormitory Bill Won by Vote of
as to 81 Today.
Aircraft Measure Made the Boat
With One to Go.

This has been a grand and glori-
Gus day for the birdmen and the
dormitory lobby. Both the aircraft
bill and the amended sleeping house
measure went thru the house this
morning on third reading. The air
plane bill made the boat with one vote
to spare after a call of the house.
Dormitory boosters were luckier. They
won rs to 81.
Both bills came up for third reading
today Under the house rules they
were not subject to amendment or de-
bate. The fireworks had been ex-
ploded Tuesday. There was nothing to
do today but vote. And the lobby held
its breath.
It looked as tho the bill boosted by
the flying squads was in for a hard
winter. When the house committee of
the. whole recommended the bill it
slipped thru AZ to 37-or 81 votes
short of a constitutional majority. Nc
Dermott and Murray of Cowley-spon-
sors for the bill in the house-were
mighty uncertain about those 81 extra
votes.
Roll Call Did 1t.
When the roll call was completed
this morning, IL new votes had been
gathered. But the bill lacked nine
votes of final passage Ten votes were
added to the list of supporters before
the call was lifted. The bill was
passed 64 to So.
A half hour later the dormitory bill
was out on roll call. The dormitory
lobby was trying to look happy and
comfortable. But it was a difficult
task. When the vote was completed,
tho. there were IS tallies on the sheet
under the aye" column. The mega
i tive vote was 81

/ tory bill on final passage were. Al

FIGHT BOYS SCHOOL BILL
House Economists Battle Against Con-
ference Committee Report.

Just before the house of represen-
tatives suspended activities for noon
day food, the economists started a
fight on the Boys Industrial school
appropriation as reported by the con-
ference committee. A fight to send
the bill back to a second conference.
Under a decision by the conference
committee the house receded to the
extent of $4,000 in its original al
lowances. OF this amount $4,000
was for new buildings and $4,000 for
additional land. The senate had al
lowed 100000 more for buildings
than was granted in the house bill.
The upper house had also provided for
two new tracts of land. House con-
ferees accepted a compromise agree
ing to purchase of one tract of land
and an additional 100000 for the
schools building program.
A motion to non-concur and ask for
a new conference was under debate
when some one mentioned ringing of
the lunch bell.

IDENTIFICATION MARKS.

An important adjunct to crime detection is reported from Paris. This new plan supplements the Der tiIlon system of measurements and fngerprints. It has been found that a man can be traced not by finger prints alone but by marks on any part of the body. Any of the pores of the skin may be employed. This is the discovery of Doctor Locard, head of the French police school at Lyons. Criminals often use gloves to foil detectives, but the forearm or the elbow may give a print equally as valuable for Identification,

EVIDENTLY KNEW EACH OTHER
Thfs Cat and Dog Had Forgotten They Were Supposed to Be
 Deadly Enemies.

Many have read and not a few have seen examples of friendship between cats and dogs, where the age-long animosity has been forgot ten through long days of .comrade- ship, and canine and feline have romped together without a thought of the ancestral feud between their houses. A passerby on Sixth ave nue the other day witnessed an ex- ample of this sort.
 A German police dog came walk ing like a patrolman out of a grocery shop. Under the window in the warm sun was lolling a black cat, stretching every limb to catch the raw April sunshine. The dog said good morning and the cat appeared to say the same. There was a little quiet play, then the police dog opened wide his jaws and seized the cats head between them. Not a motion did she make, though one snap of those strong jaws would have ended her existence.
 As calmly as an old lady might survey patrolman's nightStick she lay quietly before her friend and seemed rather to enjoy his atten- tions as a caress. Then he released her and left-New York Times.
