HIDDEN ASSA|LANT
FIRES A REVOLVER
AT SENATOR BALL
Senator Escapes Injury, But
His Clothing is Torn and an
Auto Door Damaged.
MOTIVE FOR ACT UNKNOWN

Washington. Aug. 1as--Hiding behind
a.tree. an unidentified man. who used
a revolver OF small calibre, fired at
United States Senator L. Heisler Rail
of Delaware az he niotored past Four
teenth street and Massachusetts, av-
enue, some weeks ago but the
bullet did not inture him. The
bullet passed through the door Of the
automobile and tore the Senator's
clothing. A single shot was fired. The
aasailant fled Immediately after firing.
and the Senator continued to his
home. which is situated in the fashion,
able section Of Washington.
Although the incident occurred tast
week, Senator Balls colleagues did not
hear of IL until yesterday.
Senator Ball is the author Of the
Ball Rent act for the District of Co
lumbia, which creates a rent commits
sion and provides fair rentals.
After the hreaking OF silence re-
Esrdsng the shooting Senator Ball
said he had received threatening let
ters from persons opposed to the rent
act. Referring TO the assault. he ex-
pressed the opinion that the assa j.
ant was not prompted by animosity
to said bill and refused to connect
the receipt OF threatening letters with
the shooting. His colleagues took a
different view, however, basing their
theory on the fact that the letters
were sent a short time previous to
the assault.
Senator Ball has not been deferred
by the incident. He has appeared al
the Capitol daily since the shooting
and is leading a fight for the adop-
ton Of an amendment to the rent act
which he introduced a few weeks ago
Many friends Of the Senator are
congratulating him on his escape from
injury. Although poor marksman,
the asssailant damaged the door of the
automobile in which the Senator was
riding and tore his clothing. Ex-
animation of the door indicated that
the revolver was Of small calibre.
Secret Service men are following
various clues. but have not discovered
the aSsailant.

NJ. Panaretof spoke in part as fol-

THE conclusion to be drawn from

that the force Of circumsta noes was
too strong for them TO enable them e

THE best way 70 paralyze any out

ed. Ample proof OF this was afforded
by those territories Of Turkey where
the people had been endowed with

figured in since his appointment TO

after which the agents entered the
store and placed Gagliati under ar

WARD FAVORS PLAN
OF CONSOLIDATION
FORLOCAL SCHOOLS
New Superintendent Declares
This Action Generally Brings
Beneficial Results.
MAKES STUDY OF SITUATION

That the school building situation
is a very serious one in this city is
the opinion of David A. Ward. recent
~ elected superintendent of the public
schools OF this city. Mr.. Ward. when
seen today by a representative OF
Every Evening declared that he also
thought there were too many school
buildings and that there could be
some consolidation with better results
secured. He approved of the CONSOLE
dation idea and declared that as a
general rule IL worked out well. al
though he said he was not sufficiently
acquainted with local conditions to
say whether the plan should be adopt
ed at once in this city.
MIR. Ward. who reached this city,
day before yesterday. said that the
first problem he has TO solve is 10
learn the school situation in this city.
He said the entire educational system
Of Delaware and of Wilmington is en-
tirely new &c him and that he will
first have to become familiar with it.
He expressed his opinion that there
no doubt is considerable work TO he
done with the local schools. although
they are in very good condition. One
of his first objects will be to strengthen
the system wherever possible and this
general policy will mean that he will
have 10 look for places where the sys-
tenn can be improved.
Mr.. Ward would not state much
concerning his plans as head of the
school system of this city. but said
that the first year would give him a
very good idea Of the conditions he
had to contend with and that from
then on he would be able to institute
definite plans of policy for such
changes as might be deemed neces-
sary.
Upon being questioned Mr.. Ward
said that he has experimental con
siderably with departure from the
usual method Of teaching. which is
new in educational circles. He said
that he has conducted a number OF
tests with this plan and that excellent
results have been secured. He terms
the departure as a plan and not a
method, as he says the teacher is the
one TO determine the method of ap-
plying the plan.
1t is the plan of lesson assignment
with method of approach which adds
interest TO the topic and value to the
teacher. This plan. he said. might
come UP later in this city for expert
mentation, although there is no in
rention of generally introducing it in
the schools of this city at this time.
Mr.. Ward since his arrival here
has been busy searching for a house
and has secured one at 1911 West
Ninth street. He expects his wife
and four sons, whose ages range
from to IL years. to arrive here
the latter part of this month and 10
be settled in their new home by
September l.
