POLICEMAN'S SHOOTING
CAUSED BY POLITICS
Detective Says Thomas J. Far
Icy Was Wounded Trying
to Stop Fight
Politics was at tho bottom ot the shoot
ing of Policeman Thomas J. Farley, of
tho 2Hh and Oxford streets station, who
was dangerously wounded last night In
a light between Christian Krauss, of the
crew of tho police boat Stokley, and
Louis Trcfz. This statement was made
today by Detective William Callahan,
head of the homicide smiad, who Is in
vestigating the shooting. Physicians at
St. Joseph's Hospital, where Farley was
taken, said today ho had a slight chance
of recovery. Farley was shot outside the
20th Century Hepubllcau Club, at 26th
and Oxford streets. Krauss was held
this morning without bail.
"From tho Information gathered we
have reason to believe that the shooting
was deliberate," Callahan said. "Krauss
bail resigned from tho club when tho
lllankcnburg administration went Into
power because tho administration wished
the pollen to stay out ot politics. Not
long ago. when Krauss was proposed for
membership, Trcfz, who Is a clerk In tho
Prnlhonotnry's Olllce, and lives at 2731
Master street, Is said to have mado an
Insulting remark In asking why Krauss'
name was proposed.
"Krauss heard of it, and when tho two
men met in a saloon an argument and
light followed. When they reached tho
street Farley attempted to act as peace
maker and was shot In the mix-up. When
Krauss told Lieutenant Tato that tho
shooting was an accident he was ro
tpiested t3 tell all tho incidents that led
to tho shooting, but declined."
Krauss mado a stntement In Ills cell In
City Hnll nfter tho shooting and admit
ted drawing his revolver nnd shooting,
but ho said tho wounding of Farley was
accidental.
In a statement to Magistrate Morris,
tho wounded man placed tho blame on
Krriuss.
In his cell Krauss refused to tnlk
until Captain Cameron sent for former
Captain Sunder. Tills was done, and then
Krauss told tho story of the argument and
Farley's attempt to play the peacemaker,
Farley's homo Is nt 2311 Oxford street.
Krauss Jives at 1321 Dover street. .Ac
cording to Policeman Douglass Clcgg, of
the 2Sth and Oxford streets station,
Krauss lias been on the force three years.
He was at the 19th and Oxford streets
station for two years, and then was sent
to the 20th and Huttonwood streets station.
Only recently has be been on the police
boat. Clegs said Krauss is of a very ex
citable nature.

There's where the
average man lives
C "Middle Money is
his money. He's
neither a Dives nor a
Lazarus; but he is the
salt of the earth and
is spread over a
goodly portion of its
surface.
C'Middle Money" is
the price he likes to
pay for his clothes;
and for "m i d d 1 e
money" he seeks and
is entitled to Comfort,
Character and Satis
faction. When you put
"middle money" into a
Perry Suit or a Perry
Overcoat, you may
rest assured that you
have all the material
value your $15, $18,
$20, $25 can buy any
where we think, a
little bit more; we
hnoio that Opulence
itself can do no better
in point of Fit and
Style.
