CRIMINAL DOCKET SURVEY PLANNED Department of Justice to Study Situation in District Attorney’s Office. ‘The Department of Justice has in- stituted in co-operation with District Attorney Rover a survey of the criminal dockets here in order to determine their status. A representative from the Depart- ment of Justice is working with the| personnel of Rover's office in making a | complete check-up of the situation. It 1s understood that the purpose of this | is merely to determine the status of | the dockets and to find out whether more assistance is needed in the office | of the District attorney. It is known that the District attorney | had reported his office was crowded | with wark. At the time of the famous McPherson case the heavy business of the local District attorney’s office came, forcibly to the attention of the At-| torney General himself and a special | prosecutor was assigned to handle the McPherson case. In explaining the assignment of a department representative to Rover's office, it was made clear that the move was not to be construed as a form of | She has been in the Baltimore convent | espionage. ‘The report that a “check-up” on the activities of Rover's office was in progress grew out of the recent watch put on the District Supreme Court at | the instance of Representative Sim- * mons of Nebraska.

Many Friends Are Surprised to Learn She Took Robes of Order in June. Spectal Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md., February 12.—In the convent of the Little Sisters of the Poor, Valley and Eager streets, is a postulant who just a few months ago was one of the prettiest and most pop- | ular members of Washington society. Just a year go the announcement of | her engagement aroused much interest | in the Capital. Today, in the robes of a nun, she is caring for the aged, the | poor and the sick. Miss Mary Montgomery, daughter of Mrs. Warwick E. Montgomery, and niece of Mrs. Edward Douglas White, widow of the Chief Justice, has for- saken the social world for the life of a Little Sister of the Poor. So quietly did Miss Montgomery carry out her plans that many of her friends in Washington have just learned that since last June. Popular in Younger Set. Miss Montgomery made her debut several seasons ago and for a time was one of the most popular members of the younger set. She is now 28 years old. ‘On February 2, 1929, her engage- ment to Paul Simms, son of former Representative and Mrs. T. W. Simms of Tennessee, was announced. Miss Montgomery left the Capital last Summer, presumably for a visit at a seaside resort with her aunt. Last Fall she did not return, and gradually it was leax;.led that she had entered the con- vent. Duties of the erstwhile debutante in- clude the performance of the most humble household tasks. She is most happy in caring for the aged, poor and sick, it was said at the convent today. And she is regarded there “as a won- THE EVENING WASHINGTON SOCIETY GIRL BECOMES NUN, CARING F OR POOR o MISS MARY MONTGOMERY. derful character, so kind and so de- voted to the poor.” Name Still on Social Register. Miss Montgomery's family has been | identified with this city for many years. She was educated at the Convent of the Holy Child at Suffern, New York. She spent a great deal of time with her aunt, Mrs. Edward Douglas White, | sister of her father, the late Warwick | E. Montgomery. Miss Montgomery has | two sisters, Mrs. Terry Brewster Thomp- son, wife of Lieut. Comdr. Thompscn of Annapolis, and Mrs. James Newman Carter, jr., of Media, Pa. A brother, Warwick E. Montgomery, was married | several years ago to the former Miss | Rose Saul, Miss Montgomery's name is still carried in the Washington social register. Mr. Sims-was graduated from Yale and served in the Naval Reserve during the World War. He has two sisters living in Washington, Mrs. Charles Chester A. Snow, jr., and Mrs. William Lewis Beale, whose daughter, Miss Nan- cy Beale, married Willlam Mann, son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac T. Mann of Washington. DETAILS NOW Library of Congress S lenge Sent by Clay BY THOMAS R. HENRY. It was unhealthy to reflect on the character of a gentleman in politics back in the days when the impassioned oratory of Henry Clay resounded in the new-born Kentucky Legislature. ‘The Library of Congress has just se- cured the original faded letters ex- changed in one of the most famous of Clay’s duels, in which both partici- pants were wounded. This duel was with Humphrey Mar- shall, Indian fighter and afterward United States Senator, and resulted from Marshall’s reply to a speech by Clay_in which he urged that the people of Kentucky wear only homespun clothes in order to foster the industry of the territory. heTre is no record of just what Marshall said which Clay considered insulting, and this is the first time that the details of the duel itself have been available. Challenge Sent by Clay. ‘The original challenge, signed by | Clay, is as follows: Jan. 4, 1809. Sir: After the oc- currences in the House of Representa- tives on this day the receipt of this note will excite you with no surprise. T hope on my part I shall not be disap- pointed in the execution of the pledge you gave me on that occasion and in your disclaimer of the character attributed to you.

Last night complications caused a consultation of physicians and a second operation was regarded as necessary. He died on the operating table before the operation could be performed. Daugherty, who was 41, was born_in Washington Court House, Ohio. His widow, who was here with him, survives. The body will be sent, to New Caanan, Conn., where he formerly lived, for burial. His father is now ill at West Palm Beach. Daugherty served in the Regular Army under Gen. Pershing in ‘the Mexican campaign and later was a captain in the 3d Division in the World War. He was wounded in the Meuse- Argonne campaign. Was in Hospital Two Months. COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 12 (#). —Draper M. Daugherty, who died last night at Sarasota, Fla., had been in a hospital there for two months after an operation, complications from which caused his death.

Mr. Clay succeeded so far as to give Mr. Marshall a slight wound in the belly. fire. Mr. Marshall again fired without effect. Mr. Clay snapped, which agree- ably to the rules agreed on, was equiva- lent to a fire. A third preparation was made while each gentleman stood at his station waiting for the word. Mr. Marshall fired first and gave Mr. Clay a flesh wound in the right thigh. Mr. Clay fired without effect. Mr. Clay in- sisted on another fire, very ardently, but his situation resulting from the wound placing him on unequal grounds, his importunate request was not com- plied with. “We deem it just to both gentlemen to pronounce their conduct on the oc- casion cool, determined and brave in the highest degree. Mr. Clay’s friend was under an impression that Mr. Mar- shall at the third fire violated a rule which required that he who fired first should stand in the position in which he was when he fired, but Mr. Mar- shall’s friend, being concinced that Mr. Clay had previous to Mr. Mar- shall's moving from his position, this circumstance is considered as one in which gentlemen may be mistaken on | such occasions and is not to be noticed | in this affair.” Bravery of Clay Lauded. ‘The last manusecript regarding the duel is from Clay's friend, James John- son, at Frankfurt, who was greatly con- cerned over the political effects of the encounter. He writes: “When hearing of the affair nothing seemed so much to affect me as your pistol snapping the second round. This I feel bound to attribute to the inter- position of Providence rather than fail- u . on the part of your friend. I feel, and it is generally believed, had your pistol fired the second time your adver- sary must have fallen. Your firmness and courage is admitted now by all. I feel happy to hear of the heroism with which you acted. I had rather heard of your death than have heard of your backing in the slightest degree. “I never doubted on the subject myself, but this will serve to stop the mouths of all snivel-faced Tories. I believe your friend, Maj. Campbell, to be a gentleman of the highest respecta- bility. Your interest on this occasion is his interest. I declare I love the man. I hope you will observe the utmost pa- tience in your present situation.
