BULLET FRACTURES LEG AS FUGITIVE IS FLEEING Policeman Fires When Threatened by Man Accused of Using Dirk on Woman's Hce. While standing at 41 and I streets southwest about 2:15 o'clock this morning Ioliceman L. P. Christiansen of the fourth precinct heard laud talking not far away and saw a col- ored man and three colored women . One of the women, v to be Rosie Cox, twenty- six years, 61 Brown court southeast, screamed’ for assistance and entered a yard in front of a house on I street. The male member of the party, Leonard Marshall, twenty-six years, § Ball court, started running from the scene, the policeman following him. Marshall is reported by the police- man to have made a move as if to draw a weapon, whereupon the police- man fired a shot at his foot, the bullet penetrating and fracturing his right leg. It is charged that Marshall had attacked the woman and cut her face with a dirk, the weapon he is alleged to have had in his pocket when he made the move as if to atta the policeman. were Hospital, and Marshall at the police station on ¢ assault and concealed weapons. A Los Angeles woman seeking to recover damages for the loss of her big toe in an accident declared that while the loss of the toe was bad enough, it was made more aggravat- ing by the fact that it forced her to wear a shoe several sizes larger than before. For thirty years the peaple of North- ampton, Mass., have known Calvin Cool- idge as Cal; known him as mo others can know him. LFrom the shops, porches and chimney corners of Northampton come these storics of his townsfolk about their President—etill just Cal. 1L This story is Phil Gleason’s, whose blacksmith shop is jammed against the back of the brick office building on Main street where the law firm of Coolidge & Hemenway has had its of- fice for years. Although‘he is a dem- ocrat and was once boss of the “Irish ward,” Phil rumbles with praise for Cal Coolidge. Phil lay back in a comfortable chair on the porch of his home on Bright avenue, his feet over the porch rafl- ing, a brown felt hat, blackened with grease and soot, resting perilously on his flat nose. A languid, fat hand brushed periodically at a' swarm of flies. His thin. white hair was wet with sweat. His words came from behind a great walrus mustache. “Cal's & shrewd feller,” said Phil, pantingly. “There ain’t any shrewder. An’ there ain't no better feller. He's democratic that I used to say democratic enough for a demo- Not bad, that. But it's true. I' was sayin’, Cal's a as shrewd feller. When we was ail three on the city council together, Councilman Doolan, he died. He was a democrat and a good Cathollc. We all went to his funeral, and those of us that knew him sent flowers and sympathizin' words for the widow. ‘And then one day, less 'n a week | after the funeral, Cal gets up in coun- cil meetin’. He was a young feller then—just been elected. None of us knew him much. An’ he offers a reso- | lution expressing the regret of the | council because of the death of our esteemed fellow member and pro- vidin' that coples of such, properly decorated, should be hung up In th council room and sent to the famil “All of us old cusses jest sat there | kind o' stunned. Doolan for years thought of it! An’ along comes a young feller, a republican, too, and does a thing like that about a demo- crat. That made him lots o' friends among the Irish, and he's made a lot more since. “Cal's a shrewd one and don’t you forget it. He'll be 'lected President again. He's shrewd, I'm tellin’ you. And there's nothin' more important for us politicians, is there, Ma? Cal's a favorite of Ma's.” Ma, a smiling, neatly dressed woman, stood in the doorway. “No, there ain’t, Pa. Now come in to your dinner and ‘stop talkin”.” (Copyright, 1923.) Here we'd known and we never D, C. DELEGATES ON WAY. Representatives to W. C. T. U.
