SIR CHARLES ROSS
SUEDFOR 100000
Paul Shapiro Charges He
Was Assaulted and IIIe-
gaIIy Detained.

Suit for 100000 damages for an
alleged assault and illegal detention
was filed against Sir Charles Henry
Ross, Scottish baronet and wealthy
inventor of the Ross military rife. in
District Supreme Court yesterday by
Paul Shapiro, manager of the Acme
Moving and Storage Co.
The suit set forth that Sir Charles
beat Shapiro with his fists, choked him
and detained him against his will for
two hours after Shapiro went to the
baronet's residence at 1919 Massachu-
setts avenue, March y on a business
errand
Attorneys Robert W. Mccullough
and Louis Lebowitz filed the suit, ask
ing 100000 for the alleged assault,
and like amount for the illegal de-
tention. =
Sir Charles declined to comment on
the charges yesterday and referred
questioners to his attorney. Edmund
Jones. Mr.. Jones could not be reached
last night, and at his Office yesterday
it was said no one there had read
the complaint.
Sir Charles is reputed to have sold
his patent on the Ross rife to the
Canadian government for approx
mately sl,000,000. He has appeared
as defendant in several other court
actions in the past three years. One
was a suit for S430,000 in income
taxes brought by British authorities.
and the other action for maintenance
instituted by Sir Charles wife. Lady
Patricia Ross, in the courts here and
in England and Mexico.
This latter litigation was dropped in
June of 1881, after Sir Charles is re-
puted to have paid his wife a large
sum.

Nor would you believe that you

No. you wouldn't believe it-and
neither did we.
Sits In Apple Tree.
Until, late yesterday. motor cruising
down near Mount Vernon, and land
ing late at Ye Gray's Hill Inn. an
inn which was built on the Mount
Vernon estate when Mount Vernon
was first thought of, in the middle of
cup of iced tea, we were told by

before that, clad lightly in Hollywood

into those small, squat apple trees.

plantation overlooking the Potomac.
forgetting the stage, the films. and
whatever "beeZness" Is on her mind.
Secretary Denies Presence.
We came upon her by chance-and
then again not by chance. Having
heard that she was lurking in those
woods, and remembering that We had
said hello" when she was here in
person last season at Loew's Fox, we
knocked gingerly on the door Of the
bungalow that she was occupying on
the grounds of the Gray Hill Inn
estate Confronting us was her secre-
tary. a charming, but insistent lady,
who sWore up and down that no sucn
person existed there. But" said we
truthfully, I'VE saw her lying under
tree slipping ice-tea as we came in"
''No?" said the secretary. 'you saw
her double. Miss Negri is positively
not here"
But, strangely enough. Miss Negri
was there. AS our stalwart camera
man advanced on the house, camera,
bulbs and all, there came suddenly,
from second floor window. some
stout, yet stylish Polish-some Ian
guage which indicated that star of
no mean proportions was lurking

yonder. And as we sat Sulking on the
stones of driveway, we could see the
fair star, silhouetted neatly against
the window, looking out, apparently
with no good will, on the chance
passerby who had come along to in
terrupt her logic.
Miss Negri was there all right.
After an holss and a half of doubt
full waiting, Miss Negri was suddenly
observed. clad in pastoral afternoon
garments-blue trousers, blue shirt,
blue beret and a small white jacket
over it all, playing some kind of an
afternoon game with a tall. dark.
strong young gentleman, who was also
clad in shirt, etc, open at the neck.
Walking across the lawn somewhat
timidly. remembering that the Sec
retary had said that she didn't want
us to come near her, we said Hello"
to the star of Passion and also to
her companion-Weldon Hepburn, a
native Washingtonian and actor, and
a film actor. and the eX-huSband Of
film actress Greta Nissen.
They didn't of course, say. I'VE
are glad to see you" No But Mr..
Hepburn, whom We had last seen
locally in Pagan Lady" the first
time it was here. volunteered a smile.
and shook our hand with an imitation
of enthusiasm.
Il Love This Country"
Miss Negri smiled too. She was
radiant-really-a becoming frock,
the same, maybe she wears when she
climbs those apple treeS,-and with
out flinching when asked why she
was in these parts, she replied: Il
love this country. 1 want to buy
some land here. want to live like
your George Washington. Oh, yes,
love it here very much. I have been
here since Thursday. Mr. Hepburn
just dropped in to pay me a visit
this afternoon. We are old friends
you know"
Remembering back a season, we
remembered that Mr. Hepburn and
Miss Negri played skit together on
motion picture theater stages. In
fact, they played here together when
they were here last.
Sorry for Discovery.
That is all they would say Except
that Miss Negri was sorry that she
had been discovered in her lonely
retreat. Come" said she to Mr..
Hepburn. taking him gently by the
hand. come, We will go down there
and take walk through the woods"
So they left. Miss Negri hoping
perhaps that she would find an apple
