word battle marking the close of the
trial of Paul Kelly, accused of the
murder of Ray Raymond. whose death
followed an Easter eve fist fight with
the film actor over the affections OF
Dorothy Mackaye. actress wife of the
song and dance man.
Kelly rs a witness in his own de
fense wound up his side Of the case
Yesterday, and, after brief rebuttal
testimony by prosecution medical eN-
perts. and the possible recall OF some
witnesses by the defense, the attor-
neys today were programmed to match
words and wits in the final conflict
Court attaches predicted that the case
would go TO the jury of eight women
and four men Monday afternoon after
the usual week end recess.
Undergoes Drubbing.
After closing his direct testimony,
Kelly underwent a Commute eXaml'
nation and left the witness stand with
face flushed after q drubbing at the
hands of Deputy District Attorney
Forrest Murray.
The States questions related largely
TO the history of the friendship be-
tween Miss Mackaye and the film juve-
nile. Kelly said he never told of his
love for Miss Mackaye until after
New Years day when she told him
that she and Raymond had agreed to
separate.
He denied that he knew that the
$500 which h. gave to Miss Nackaye
after the fist fight was to be used for
Raymond's hospital and Doctors bills.
Given TO Physician.
Five hundred dollars of this money,
testimony showed was given by Miss
Mackaye to DR.. w. J. Sullivan, Holly
wood physician who attended Ray
mond for two days before the actors
death. Both Miss Mackaye and DR..
Sullivan have been indicted in connec-
ton with an alleged attempt to cover
up" facts in the case.
The medical rebuttal testimony of
the State, striking at Kelly's conten-
tion that Raymond died of natural
causes, was opened late in yester-
days session of court. DR.. A. r.
Zeiler. who supervised a microscopic
examination of a section of the kid
ney of the dead actor, declared that it
showed only mild trace of nephritis.
II testified that this probably was in
sufficient to cause either coma or
hemorrhage as contended by defense
physicians.

BY DONALD A. CRAIG,

October 81, 1793-The first Board of
Commissioners of the city requested
President Washington to appoint
auditors to inspect it's accounts since
the members took office nearly three
years before. David Ross of Bladens-
burg and Robert T. Hooe of Alexan-
dria were appointed, and made their
report to the President on this day.
The accounts were found to be correct.
The total receipts were $4,000. Only
$4,000 of this amount had come from
the sale of city lots. A Maryland
grant of $4,000 had been paid, and
all but one.third of a Virginia grant
Of $120,000 had been received. The
cash on hand was $4,000.
October 81, 1S0O-The National In
telligencer and Washington Advertiser,
most famous among the first news
papers Of the city, made it's first ap-
pearance today. Samuel Harrison
Smith had announced that he would
publish the first number October /,
but the arrival Of the printing press
had been delayed by a. storm which
drove ashore the vessel bringing it.
October 81, 1S02-Gen. John Mason
of Georgetown reviewed the First
Legion, District of Columbia Militia,

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
BY LEONID ANDREYEV
SILENCE.

0eonid Andreyev. famous Russian writer.
was born in 1871 and died in 1919. A note
OF tragedy and impending fate runs through
all his work. including the present story,
which. is typically Russian in the manner
the story.)
Vera had gone to st. Petersburg
against her fathers wishes, and when
she returned she was troubled At the
mothers instigation, the parents
sought Vera in her chamber one moon
light night, and begged her to tell
them what it was that troubled her
The father was a stern taskmaster,
and although he tried to soften his
hard voice. he failed lamentably. Vera
was silent, Ignatius, the father, felt a
great hatred for st. Petersburg rise
within him for doing some mysterious
thing to his daughter, and he was
angered against Vera for remaining
so obstinately silent. Even the
mothers entreaties had no effect.
Vera remained silent.
Until at last she said: est. Peters.
burg has nothing to do with it. Moth
ing is the matter with me. 1t is late
and you had better go to bed"
They pleaded with her, but in vain
She was silent. promising only that
some time they would have a chat
Ignatius, angry, told his wife to de.
part with him, and almost forcibly led
her from the room. From that night
lgnatius never again spoke to his
daughter, but she ignored it. She lay
in her room, and remained silent.
Or she walked about, rubbing her
eyes, and still remained silent. One
evening, on a walk, Vera threw her
self in front of a train, and was killed.
The news Of Vera's violent death
prostrated her mother, who had q
stroke. 1gnatius, the father, remained
cold. People tried to see in the harsh
old man some sign of sorrow, but
there was none. They knew he had
sinned, and il his daughter had--it
was not of his daughter that Ignatius
thought, but of his dignity, as he held
his head erect at the funeral. When
he returned home he relaxed as he
entered his wife's chamber, but per.
haps this was because the door was
little low for him.
Vera's mother was paralyzed hand
and foot, and she could not speak.
Even her eyes were dumb. Ignatius
spoke to her, but of course there
was no answer. Only her two deeply
gray eyes gazed silently at him.
From the day of Vera's funeral
silence was sovereign in that house
There is a difference between silence
and stiffness. Stiffness is the absence
of sound; silence is that quietness in
which it seems as though some one
should speak but will not. This was
the feeling that Ignatius had every
time he went in to see his paralyzed
wife. So he felt, too, when he ex.
amined anything that had belonged
to Vera, his daughter, who had never
spoken. This sense of silence grew
upon Ignatius, until 4 almost seemed
that he heard silence.
He caught himself listening to the
silence Of the house--it was absurd
His wife's silence was insistent, and
terrible. Like the grave was his
daughters Aence, and as mysterious
as death. Knatius fancied that the
silence struggled as did he, and tried
to resolve itself into sound or speech
Something held it, though. restraining

There is an auspicious sign for we'd

Theaters should benefit from this
rule of the stars, which presages sue
cessful experiments for the improve
ment of dramatic productions.
Actors and actresses should benefit,
for there is promise Of many demands
for their talents.
Serious plays will be well received
under this planetary government,
which is fortunate for classical presen-
tations.
All lines of business should benefit
from this rule, which seems to promise
stimulation for many sorts of trade
There is a first-rate forecast for new
partnerships or novel ventures while
this configuration prevails.
All medium scales of conduct.
whether personal or commercial, will
be subject to unfavorable direction of
the stars, it is foretold.
The tendency will continue to be
strongly in favor of extremes in all
things, poverty and wealth, crime and
righteousness.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of a year of great pros
perity. Journeys and new friends are
indicated.
Children born on that day probably
will be intellectual in their talents
They should have many friends.

Infantile Paralysis.

This year, as usual at this season
of year, there are cases Of infantile
paralysis (acute poliomyelitis) here and
there throughout the country. No
plausible explanation has been offered
for this seasonal prevalence of the dis.
ease, unless it be that poliomyelitis,
like typhoid fever, is an infection to
which victims are most exposed while
on Summer vacations or travelling
about, and the illness develops after
the Autumn return home to school or
work.
The virus or germ, if 1t is germ,
OF the disease is too small to be seen
with the microscope and will pass
through the finest porcelain filter. But
that q virus is the cause has been
fairly well demonstrated by inocula.

keys are apparently the only animals
that are susceptible to infantile paral-
ysis.
Eight out of 10 cases occur in chill
dren under 5 years Of age, but some
times youths are victims and occa
sionally an adult Most cases occur
from July TO October. In a consider.
able number of cases the illness runs
ing any definite paralysis, and such
cases are consequently likely to es.
cape recognition, and hence to become
sources Of danger through injecting
persons who do not suspect the ma

in mind that we have not identified
the germ and hence we can only give
the opinion OF physicians who have
had experience and special study of
the disease, the belief prevails that in
some instances healthy persons who
have been in close contact with the

the disease to third person. This be
lief, to my mind is far fetched, but it
appears TO be the only explanation for
certain outbreaks.
At worst, infantile paralysis is only
feebiv contagious. for we know that
only a small proportion of persons ex.
