rara SAYS
HE SHOT FARMER
IN SELF-DEFENSE
t
Arrested for Murder of Aged
Joseph M. Pope With
Shotgun.
SON OF VICTIM MADE
HIM FEAR FOR LIFE
Quarrel of Neighbors Follows a
Session of Hard Cider
Drinking.
Arrested early today by Sheriff
Vlett on a charge of killing Joseph
M. Pope, seventy years old, a wealthy
farmer of Laytonsvllle, Montgomery
county, Md., Archie R. Thompson,
twenty-two years old, frankly admit
ted the charge, the officers say, but
Bald he did the shooting in self
defense. The shooting occurred shortly af
ter 6 o'clock last evening near the
Thompson home, which adjoins the
Pope place near Laytonsvllle. Mr.
Pope was killed with a shotgun, and
more than sixty shot were found in
his head and face.
According to Thompson, John
Pope, the aged farmer's son, .was
pointing a shotgun at him at the
time. Fearing for his own life, he
told the officers, he picked up a gun
and fired at young Pope. The shot
went wild, striking the older man.
Pope Held as Witness.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon Justice
Edward Brown began an inquest at
Laytonsvllla over the body of the vic
tim. John Pope also was taken in cus
t6dy this morning by Sheriff Vlett and
held in the Rockvllle Jail as a State's
witness.
Behind the tragedy lies a story that
is Identical with many another rural
tragedy. For some time yesterday af
ternoon the two Popes and Thompson
were together drinking hard cider "ap
ple Jack,"' as it Is called in the country.
A quarrel endued, and In the heat of
passion the shot was fired.
Both the younger Pape and Thompson,
ap they eat in a cell in the county Jail
thl morning, admitted to Sheriff Vlett
that thev had quarreled, that a fist
fight had ensued, and that both picked
up a gun. But what the trouble was
about both disclaimed any knowledge.
"Too Much Apple Jack."
"It was simply a case of too much
"apple Jack." Thompson is quoted as
saying.
Pope told the sheriff he did pick up a
shotgun and fire at Thompson, but he
says he did not do po until after Thomp
son had killed his father. Thompson,
on the other hand, says Pope bad the
gun leveled at him when he shot the
elder Pope, believing he was firing at
the younger man.
According to the story told by young
Pope, ho and his father started out early
yesterday afternoon to go squirrel
shooting. Both carried a shotgun. They
walked up the hill back of their home
about a mile and a half and failed to
tee any squirrels. About 4 o'clock they
started home.
On the way back they met Phels
Kelson, a colored man, who lives about
hair a mile irom tne fope nome. ;sei
snn Invited them to come in and have
some cider. They accepted the Invita
tion, and a short time afterward
Thompson came to the colored man's
house. All three sat around drinking
elder for some time, although Thomp
son, according to the witnesses, drank
more than the others.
Revived Old Quarrel.
It was nearly 6 o'clock when Thomp
son and the two Popes started home.
On the way Thompson and John Pope
got into an argument There had been
trouble between the two men before,
but last April they came to an under
standing regarding their disagree
ments. Since then they had been on
good terms.
Neither young man seems to know
today what started the trouble yes
terday afternoon. Pope claims that
Thompson hit him first
The two fell, and struggled on the
ground for several minutes. Finally
they got up and proceeded to the
Thompson home. In an alley alongside
the house both the Popes put down
their shotguns.
Thompson and John Pope started
fighting again. Then Thompson went in
the house and got a shotgun, A mo
ment later Joseph M. Pope was lying
on the ground with his head nearly
Clown from his shoulders by the charge.

HONOR
S DECLINED
BY DARR; TO STAY
IN TRANSFER FIGHT
Attorney Prefers Battle for
People to Being Delegate '
to Municipal Convention.
Because he considers that the inter
eats of the people of the District of
Columbia are more vitally affected by
the universal transfer litigation before
the Supreme Court than in the munlc
ipal convention which meets in Chi
cago tomorrow, and because he docs
not agree with the District Commis
sioners that the quickest way to get
universal transfers and other reforms
is by urging the passage of the Com
missioners' public utility bill, Charles
W. Darr, one of the attorneys for the
Chamber of Commerce, In the suit
agalntt the Capital Traction Company,
has declined the Commissioners' ap
pointment as "-a'ilelcgate to the con'
ventlon.
He tvlll not go to Chicago, as he had
planned, preferring to remain in Wash
ington and prosecute the people's fight
for universal transfers now before the
Supreme Court.
Lawyers to Confer.
Mr. Darr reached this decision after a
conference yesterday afternoon with
Harry F. Lerch, counsel for the re
ceiver of the suburban line, at which
Mr. Lerch assured him that a confer
ence of all the attorneys in the case
would be held tomorrow or Tuesday
with a view to obtaining a hearing in
the transfer suit immediately.
Although the District Commission
ers are watching the transfer litiga
tion between the Baltimore and Wash
ington Transit Company in the Dis
trict Supreme Court, they will take
no hand in it officially. This, at least,
is the position of Cuno H. Rudolph,
president of the Board.
The Commissioners are preparing to
urge upon Congress the passage of
the public utility bill to vest in them
selves the powers of a public service
commission, as the quickest way In
which to get universal transfers and
other reforms for all of the people of
the District.
Sees Long Litigation.
"It looks as though this litigation
would be dragged from one court to
another," said Mr. Rudolph today,
"and you and I may be dead before It
finally Is settled. We are going to
press the public utility bill as soon
as CongTess convenes, and I think this
Is the best and quickest method to
effect the reforms which now are be
ing sought through the courts."
While Mr. Darr favors a public util
ities law, he considers that there la
little chance for the passage of the
bill to make the Commissioners the
public utility commission at the next
session of Congress. The best hope
for getting universal transfers and
other needed reforms at an early date,

Morocco.
BERLIN, Sept. 17. The Interview from
a high German official cabled to New
York, in which peave over the Morocco
question Is practically assured, was
corroborated here today. Tho gist, of
the statement shows that Germany Js
trying to meot the French demand.
Said one official:
"Germany is seeking no special pre
rogatives in Morocco. Our proposals to
France aim solely to Insure the people
of the open door, thus guaranteeing ab
solutely to all nations equal chances. I
can state that France, in her answer
Friday, is not blind to our Intentions.
With good feeling on each side it Is

Committee of One Hundred
Takes Up Work After
Summer Vacation.
GENERAL DICK SENDS
OUT LETTER APPEAL
Wants Every State in the Union
To Have Representative
on Committee.
With renewed vigor the Committee
of 100, appointed several months ago
to launch a movement for better con
ditions and higher salaries for em
ployes of the Federal Government,
today took up ihe work which has
been lagging during the summer
months.
Pointing out the need for such an
organization, and showing that un
less a systematic effort to impress
upon Congress the urgent necessity
for Immediate assistance to the 250,
000 Government clerks, the commit
tee, through its managing director,
former Senator Charles Dick of
Ohio, h n written letters to the rep
resentative men of the larger cities
of the country, and in all the States,
asking for support.
For Benefit of AH Clerks.
"As the movement started by the
committee of 100 is for the benefit of
all clerks in the Government classi
fied service, whether employed In
Washington or elsewhere, an effort is
being made to have in the member
ship of the committee a representa
tive of every State' of the Union,"
General Dick says In His letter. "With
the completion of this preliminary
twoj..and the convenlnjpmf. .Congresn
in December, ,11 is intended, to wage
an aggressive campaign In behalf of
the Government clerks.
"As is generally known, within re
cent years, the pay of the army, the
navy, tho President, Cabinet members,
Senators, Representatives In fact for
all employes of Ute Government ex
cept In the classified service has
been Increased. For these, the sched
ule of salaries has not been changed
for more than fifty years. It is con
fidently expected, however, that upon
proper presentation. Congress will
remedy this injustice by enacting the
necessary legislation."
MacVeagh to Support
Movement to Pension
Government Employes
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
will make a strong recommendation in
his annual report this year in favor of
the adoption of a pension and retire
ment system for clerks in the Govern
ment service.
While Secretary MacVeagh Is not In
Washington, at the Treasury It is sail
he will not fail, this year, to recommend
that Congress act in this important
matter. The whole force of the ad
ministration is back of the movement
to get Congress to legislate In behalf
Of the clerks who have devoted their
lives to the Government service. Sec
retary MacVeagh is favorable to such
legislation, and much that has happen
ed about the Treasury in his adminis
tration ha& accentuated the need of it.
For instance. It lias become neces
sary now to ' reduce the force of em
ployes in the various mints. This has
been made needful by the fact the
Government Is Issuing gold certlflcat.es
against gold bullion, and for that rea
son will coin little gold hereafter. All
that will be coined, or nearly all. will
be the subsidiary and minor coin.
Many employes of the mints have
spent thsir lives In the Government
service. It Is a hard thing to turn
them off, yet it Is essential to cut
down the force at Denver, San Fran
cisco, and Philadelphia. The Treas
ury will be as easy as possible on the
old employes, and will let go chiefly
the newer ones. However, the prob
lem would be much simplified If there
were a retirement and pension system
in force. '
The recent reduction of the force in
the office of the Supervising Architect
also has worked hardship. While it has
affected chiefly employes not long in
service it has affected some of Ions
tenure. The suddenness with which
this order came has been an excellent
illustration of the uncertainties af Gov
ernment service, and points with force
to the need of a Dcnslon system.
The Treasury Department has been
cne of the foremost In doing what
could bo done to economize. It has been
clearly demonstrated lo the Treasury of
ficials that with some sort of pension.
una retirement system, economical anu
tuslness-llke methods would be more
easy of achievement.

Tells Her Side of Elopement
Story for First Time.
Admits Love.
HOPES TO FORCE
HUSBAND TO ACT
Declares She Talked the Situatjfla
Over With Him Before
She Left
NEW YORK, Sept 17. Mrs. Wal
ter Suydam, the eloping wife!, of the
young Blue Point, Long Island', mil
lionaire, today threw new light oa
the strange case of infatuation- la
which she is the central figure.
Mcs. Suydam talked freely to a
Munsey News representative in her
small apartment at 84 "West Twelfth,
street, this morning. She appeared
to be nervous and showed the effects
of the publicity to which she had
been, subjected.
"I intend to marry Fred Noble aa
soon as I can do so legally, she
said. "I regard it as most unfortu
nate that so much publicity has
been given to our affairs. I went
away with Mr. Noble with the full
knowledge of my husband, his fath
er, and Mr. Noble's family.
Evidently if I did not love Mf.
Noble, I would not have submitted
myself to an ordeal such as the one
I am now enduring."
Appears Nervous.
During this conversation- Mrs. SuyAira
jtept fingering a number of newspaper
I 'PP'ngs bearing- pn her case, all tho
wnl,e wanting DacK ana iorin in a atata
of great nervousness.
When asked point blank whether bar
husband had filed a suit for divorce
she declared that she did not wish to
speak on this subject for publication,
but she reiterated her avowal that she
Intended to marry Noble as soon as
possible.
"So far as my leaving his apartment
Is concerned," she continued, "I have
no Intention of doing so. Although Mr.
Noble leased the apartment, I have sub
leased It from him and I shall certain
ly remain here for a year. Long before
the end of that time I hope to be Mrs.
Fred Noble."
The manager of the apartment house
admitted today thathe had requested
the young woman and her affinity to
move, but declined to say whether he
would take any steps to dispossess
them.
Mrs. Suydam went over the storv of
her life. laying emphasis on her hus
band's Indifference toward her and on
her youth at the time she became his
wife eight years ago when she was
seventeen.
When asked if she thought that If her
two children had lived she would still
have taken her present hazardous step,
she said with feeling that It would have
made no difference.
"I love Fred enough to do anything
for him," she said.
During the conservation Noble hlm
ve'f came into the house and overheard
her latest remark.
Th building in which the couple are
living Is a center of attraction of the
whole neighborhood. Mrs. Suydam has
been particularly annoyed by the fore
man of a gang of laborers, who has
constituted himself a personal escqrt
whenever she appears on the street
Points Her Out
This man points her out as she walks
along, and so far she has found no
way of escaping him. Only yesterday
two men followed her into a store and,
after watching her purchase a paper
of pins, marched back with her to her
own front door.
Her millionaire husband had nothing
to add today to the statement already
given out by him dnd his father. He
realizes that even If he were willing to
take his wife back she would not come.
It Is said that It would not surprise her
friends 'if he filed a suit of divorce any
day now. His wife has admitted that
he never gave her any grounds for a
separation, and that she practically
took matters Into her own hands In or
der to force him to act.
Although she was reported to have
taken $20,000 In cash 6f her own money
when she left Blue Point she denied
this today and also characterized as
false the Interview credited to the sla
ter of Noble. In which the latter gave
a stirring story of her efforts to per
suade her brother to return home.
