Jobf Reardon, who enlisted from Watet vilet, N. x. The men were eIs fried and frequently went -fot the O"raeMI to gether to enjoy themselves. They wa given paine. jesterday montI g to Iess the grounds, and they spent most of th day together about the city. Two of then Peck and Roberts, Indulged in Intoicant9 but the third member of the trio at* During the afternoon they ret4uned t the barracks and rmne treounti shortly after T o'clod, when tbey aga1 left and boarded a street car. It was thel intention to visit one of the theaters aSu return to the barracks after the show waI over. Bom after boarding the car the con doctor, R. J. Wheatley. noticed that tw4 of the young men had taken their pen knives from their pockets and were sky larking. This is what Roberts afterwarO referred to as "playing tragedy." He ma the statement after be had stabbed Peel an inflicted a fatal wound. The wound was Inflicted before the cal had left the loop along the river front, bu the wounded man was not taken from the vehicle until the intersection of 4% and C streets was reached. Peck was placed upoz the sidewalk and a crowd soon collected. Arrests Made. Policeman T. J. Cullinane was one of thoe who went to inquire what was the matter and saw the blood coming from the wouni in the soldier's chest. The other soldier' said they had been with him and wert placed under arrest, Roberts to answer fo the offense and Reardon as a United Stateg witness. At first they denied that they knew how their companion had been wounded but after the station was reached they to.4 the story of the affair. It was then that they disclosed the particulars of "playing tragedy" on the street car. Roberts ad mitted that his knife- inflicted the fatal wound. He said that he and Peck drew their knives and that cach jabbed at tb other in play; that he had not the slightes1 idea that he was going to wound the young man who had been his companion. The young men explained that Peck fell upon the seat of the car when he was stabbed and they cared for him untIl G street was reached. -They then took him cff the car to seek medical aid. Roberti and Reardon denied that any angry wordi were spoken or that there was any Ill-feel Ing shown. Conductor Wheatley told Po liceman Cullinane that he saw the young men when they began skylarking. He said that the good feeling at first manifested soon changed, and he thought they wore engaged in a quarrel at the time the fatal wound was inflicted. Peck was taken to the Emergency Hos pital soon after he left the street car. Him death occurred about 10 o'clock. His body was removed today from the hospital to the morgue, where Acting Deputy Coroner Bar ker performed an autopsy. Dr.. Glasebrook, the acting coronir, had a jury sworn ovei the body this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and the hearing of testimony was begun. The taking of testimony was in progress wher The Star's report closed. PINE WILL STAND. Sentence Imposed Upon Policeman H A. Quail. . The fine of $50 imposed by the police tria board upon Private H. A. Quail of the met ropolitan police force, who was convicte( of violating a provision in the police man us] In that he stayed in a house along hi beat for twenty minutes, will stand agains the officer, according to a final recommend ation on the case made by Commissione West today. At the original trial of Private Quail th trial board found him guilty and recom mended that he be fined $50. Major Syl vester, however, while concurring in thi finding, recommended that the fine be re duced to $2Z. Private Quail asked for i new trial, claiming to have an importan witness. At the second trial, It is shown ir the evidence, Private Quail admitted tha he had perjured himself In his testimony a the first hearing, and the trial board agai recommended that the fine of $50 shoul< stand. Private Quail was accused by an Inspectoi of entering a printing office at 1603 10t street northwest, October 14, and remaining there for twenty minutes. Quail pleadet guilty and told the trial board he went I the office to take a rest. At the second tria he denied this statement, saying he hac made it simply to close the case, thinking he would get a light fine. He claimed h4 really went into the office at the request a the proprietor to watch for a thief. Assistanit Corporation Counsel A. Left wich Sinclair. chairman of the trial board after reviewipg the testimony given at the second hearing made the following state meat: "While tho fine suggested by the boarc may have beeb a little too law. upon the showing then made against the aceused It is believed that It is not too large 11 view of the additional testimony given b,: the accused himself, and the board accord ingly recommends that he be fined $I0 Summary removal from the force is not tot great a punishment to visit upon a .police man who deliberately takes the witnesi stand and perjures himself as this private according to his own admission, has done is this case."

Adanma Done Bo Things Would Eaweieen Different. From the Phliadeiphia Press (Today). Had Representative IRbert Adams of Philadelphia consulted the women of his native city before his proposal in the House of Representatives. of. a 'whipping post to be established in the ')istridt of Columbia for the punishinet of" wife beaters, and been guided by leir..Ppinipp, the House would have been depriv.4 of the pleasure and instruction resulting from-his speech. r PhiladelphWomen do not'felieve In the whipping post as a form aot punishment. They credit Mr. Adams with .a nature un usually chivalrouts, but believe his efforts to bring the wife beater to a consciousness of his sins are misdirected, as they consider the -whipping post brutal, ineffective and L entirely out of fashion. L If Mr. Adams Is in earnest he can win I the gratitude of thousands of women by t following the suggestion of one prominent t social and reforim leader, by destroying I what she considers the cause of wife beat I ing, which is drunkenness. Step Backward--Miss Repplier. I Miss Agnes Repplier, while having no remedy to suggest, had no hesitancy about expressing her opinion of Mr. Adams' idea. "I don't know when I was so surprised as when I read that bill." she said. "it is' s most decided step backward, and I believe that even the women who are beaten would themselves oppose the whipping post. It seems to me it woul only send their hus bands back to them mote brutal than be fore. It is simply' a torpa of punishment which carries with it Ao hrethod of reform. Whipping was abolished in the army, the navy and the schools -because it was a~ dis graceful, brutal punishment. There is no doubt that it was effective, but it was un divilised, and I don't believe in such pun -ishments, even if thef prove effective. Fining or jailing seem the only methods of punishment which would apply to wife beaters, and these act most directly on the family, depriving them in one case of their chief means of support and in the other of mbney much needed at home." Distraaehi== Wife llatseg, Mrs. Rudolph Blankenborg has another method for helping the wife beater mend his ways. "The only way I know for cor recting them is to disfranchise them," she said yesterday. "Deprive them of their vote, and that will prove a far greater pun ishment than any whipping at the pot. Of course, thar would not be appicbe in the District of Columbia,. where no one votes. -If Mr. Adams' idea is to help to ward making Washiftiften a model city the introduction of a whipping post would be a most original failure in this line. I our. stage of clvilisation It is surely a backward step to suggest a whlppg poet. Corporal punishment has a a4moral in~uence in a community." Emnry G. tRavis 5aDs. Henry G. Davis, wtho was the deano cratie. candidate for Nice President in the last election,. called a.t tie White Hous. today. He had forgoen, that It was "eahiet day," and did not see the Pres ident.
