Sunday morning of Harry (Happy)
Gleason, and the shooting Of his COM
panion, Andrew Anderson, at Seventh
avenue and Eleventh street. in the Park
Slope section of South Brooklyn.
Gleason, who lived with relatives at
465 Thirteenth street, is said by the
police to have been the leader of a
gang which hung around the pool and
billiard room of "One Armed" Quigley
at Seventh avenue and Twelfth street.
one block from the scene of the shooting.
and Anderson were walking down
Seventh avenue and just before reach
ing Eleventh street they met two men
with whom thy had a slight acquaint-
ance and invited them to go to a restau-
rant near the corner of Ninth street and
Fifth avenue. Just as the four men
started for the restaurant Gleason
turned partly around and exclaimed in
an excited tone: There's going to be a
fight here night now. Look out" Then
he dashed toward the doorway of 326
Seventh avenue. closely followed by
Anderson. According to the police ver-
sion two men approached from across
the street and one of them fred six
shots from a revolver
Gleason fell dead, a bullet having
passed through the heart and two
others having hit him i'm the abdomen.
Anderson was wounded in the right
breast and arm. Patrolman Edward
Downing and Detectives John Quinn and
John Fox. heard the shots, but before
they reached the spot the two gunmen
had run down Eleventh street and dis
appeared.
Anderson. who Is % and lives at 226
Seventh avenue. was treated by an am
bulance surgeon from the Holy Family
Hospital. where he lies In dangerous
condition. When questioned by de-
tectives he said he could not Identify
his assailants.
From friend Of Gleason the police
said they were informed that Gleason
had aroused the hatred of another
young fellow In rivalry for girl.
While the police say there may be
something in this theory. they are in
clined to believe that the shooting was
the result of feud between gangs in
the Park Slope section made up of
young men ranging from 1s to 25
years. who use all night restaurants as
their hangouts.

New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., July 10.
Police were working tonight trying
to fathom the circumstances surround
ing the killing of Albert J. Byrd, whose
death followed pistol battle with
William A. Goetz on the front porch of
the Goetz residence last night at Mary
land Park, Md. Before he died Byrd ad-
mitted the fight was due to his attentions
to Mrs. Goetz, the mother of five chill
dren. who. three weeks ago, left home
to obtain divorce.
The shooting followed a visit by Byrd
to the Goetz residence in taxicab In
company with woman and chauffeur.
The woman remained in the automobile
while Byrd went to the door and asked
for Goetz One of the children called
Goetz to the door. There was brief
talk between the two and the shooting
beran. Several shots were exchanged.
Byrd being hit once.
NeLghbors called the police, who sent
Byrd to Casualty Hospital In Washing
tons where he died three hours after the
shooting. Goetz was arrested and. after
a preliminary hearing. released on $1,000
bond. Soon afterward he took his five
children and drove In the direction OF
Washington. He has not been seen
since.
Byrd was employed as brakeman by
the Washington Terminal Company.
Goetz Is an income tax specialist and
accountant with offices In Washington.
What prompted Byrd to visit the
Goetz residence and the identity OF the
woman in the taxicab. which hurried
away when the shooting began, are ques-
tions which the police are striving to
answer. Mrs. Goetz on leaving her home
to seek the divorce said she was going
to Knoxville, Tenn.

gains, according to latest figures made
public tonight by the Association OF
Railway Executives. A decrease OF 4.05s

for freight was reported by carriers for
the week ended June 80.
The railroads now have a freight car
surplus OF 373.791. Reports 20 officials
showed the decrease In surplus rolling
stock is accounted for by heavier sea-
sonal demands.
Fewer ventilated. automobile ard fur
niture cars were reported. Traffic de-
mands from the vegetable and fruit
growing sections In the coming weeks
In expected by officials further to re-
dace the surplus cars considerably.
larger number OF surplus cars of
miscellaneous classes is reported, due
partly to the large number OF ore cars
now being stored on rail sidings of rail-
roads in Northwestern territory.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, d. c.. July 10.
The Federal Government has ex-
pended nearly $1,000, 100000 since the
signing of The armistice in aiding for
mer service men, as shown by figures
Just compiled by the Treasury De-
partment.
The amount is equal to the mini
mum estimate of the cost Of a cash
bonus to the United States Treasury,
and shows that to date the Govern
ment has actually expended during
the last two and half years on an
average of about 5000 for each one of
the 4.Soo,000 men in the military and
naval service during the war.
A summary of the main purposes
for which the huge sum has been
spent follows:
Military and naval family allow
Military and naval compensation. 397. 100000
Insurance ..................... 3,00O, 600
Administration .................. 4S,S25, ,906
Hospitalization ................. 114.I91 .I92
Hospital construction. ...... 25.S45. 900
Six months to beneficiaries OF
officers and men of army. 10000 600
Ten years pay to benefciaries of
officers and men OF the army
connected with aviation. ...... 49,, 900
Vocational training. :.........: 200. .ooo. 900
men ..................M 3s.47s.7s
Bonus allowances $500 ......... 24S,e67 .2ss
This evidence OF liberality on the part
Of Congress may be pointed to by Presi-
dent Harding in his coming message to
Congress, in which he Is expected to ask
deferment Of final enactment OF the
soldier bonus bill because Of the critical
condition of the Federal Treasury 1t Is
an effective answer to the continuous
propaganda that the Federal Government
Is neglecting the former service men.
The amount of the expenditures in this
respect since the end of hostilities has
surprised many Senator's, and may be
influential in inducing them to back the
President in his request that'the bonus
bill be delayed so that Congress can de-
vote its attention to tariff and revenue
revision.
During this week Republican leaders
of the Senate will obtain definite in
formation as to whether sufficient votes
car be obtained to shelve the bonus bill.
Present indications are that In response
to the Presidents request the votes will
be forthcoming. Mr.. Hardirg's message
to Congress on the situation may be de-
layed until after the House has passed
and sent to the Senate the tariff bill.
which probably will be July 81.
Opponents of the bonus bill claim that
the total soldier expenditures made since
the armistice take away all justification
for another heavy drain on the Treasury
at the present time. The total as last
computed by the Treasury Department
was $1.4f4,268,766. This was on June
and the amount IL jumping up monthly.
