SENATOR WOUNDED.
COOLIDGE DEMANDS
ACTION BY POLICE.

WASHINGTON Feb. 16,-An op-
Grafton described as successful was
performed late today upon Senator
Frank L. Greene, Of Vermont, who
was wounded in the head by pistol
bullet last night during a battle be-
tween alleged bootleggers and pro
hibition agents and police almost
within the shadow of the capitol.
Splinters of bone which were driv-
en- into his head by the stray bullet
were removed, about one and one.
half square inches Of bone being
taken out. Afterward attending
surgeons said the senator was rest
ing as comfortably as possible" and
that the "prognosis is good, provided
no complications set in" The opera
ton was performed under a local
anaesthetic.
The reverberations from the Incl
dent in the capital were almost as
instantaneous and sharp as the bat
tie itself, the entire prohibition en-
forcement situation which for
months has been the center of criti-
cism and controversy being again
projected into the forefront of dis
cussion with indications that the
whole question will be aired in con-
gress.
President Coolidge, evidenced his
personal interest in the situation
by inquiring at the hospital concern
ing Mr.. Greene's condition. At the
same time White House officials
inquired of police what action was
being taken against those respon-
sible and were informed that the
cases of three men held in connec-
ton with the shooting were un-
der consideration in the district at
torney's office.
The police refrained from discuss
ing the affair, but the intelligence
office of the treasury was ordered
to make a thorough investigation,
while Roy Haynes, prohibition COM
missioner, declared the incident a
very unfortunate one"
The three men taken into custody
were James Raymond Beavers. Sill
yer Hill, Md, and Benjamin Chesa-
voir. of this city, who the police
said were believed to be boot1eggers
and o. E. Fisher, prohibition
agent, who is charged by the police
with firing the shot which struck
Senator Greene.
Beavers and Chesavoir, who were
unprecedented by detectives after a
chase across the Potomac into the
Virginia hills, were released on
SO, 900 bail each, and Fisher was re-
leased on $4,000 bond. The three
are to ar~ear in court Monday.
Before the operation Senator
Greene was given an N-ray exam
ination which showed that the bull
let was not lodged in the head. The
missile had evidently struck a glanc-
ing blow, shattering the frontal
bone over the left eye, and driving
splinters inward.
Doctors Daniel L. Borden and
Charles S. White operated, with DR.
John L. de Mayo assisting and DR..
Thomas Linville, Senator Greene's
family physician, present. Eight or
ten pieces of bone were extracted
and the surgeons said that barring
complications, the patient should re
cover, as he had stood the operation
well.
Peyton Gordon, United States dis
trict attorney, is active in the case
and it is possible that more serious
charges may be preferred against
the three implicated in the shoot
ing They are now held on charges

ness. so the experts decided to take
advantage of this situation to benefit
the reparation treasury.
The plan provides for issuance OF
bonds 10 the value of 5000, ,000, 600
gold marks. secured on the industrial
property, to be handed over to the
repa ton commission. These bonds
would yield e6,o0e.o0 gold marks

Industries failing to pay their share
ure. AT the same time the German
government would be held responsible
for payment, the reparation commits
sion being entitled to make good any
deficiency in payment by Seizin <
taxes due the reich. The guarantee
permits the reparation commission TO
raise 5000, ,080, 600 gold marks rapidly
by placing these mortgage bonds on
the international market.
The experts, LIE Matin says, con-
kidered the problem of how Germany
can transfer such large sums abroad
without upsetting the international
financial market as more difficult than
establishing how much and in what
manner she should pay.
After a long study they suggest
