Received With Regret. Washington', July 23. The news of the shooting of Frick was received by the members mem-bers of congress with expressions of deep regret.

A physiciau is making au examination and says he cannot tell whether the wounds are fatal or not.' Frick's condition, however, is regarded as very serious. The would-be assassin has frequently been in Frick's office and was admitted without question. Frick and he were alone together and what passed between them is unknown. Secretary Lushman rushed in when the shots were heard and after a struggle over powered the man and turned him over to the police. There is much excitement and crowds surround sur-round the offices. The man's name is Alexander Berkman. He is 21 years of age and lives here. He is a Russian Jew and supposed anarchist. He has teen hanging around the office for several days. When asked by a reporter why he did the deed, he composedly said: "You know why." Berkman came from New York a few days ago, where he worked for the Singer Machine company. Frick is lying in the private office, attended atten-ded by two physicians. The doors were closed, and no one allowed to enter. It is believed that his robust condition may enable him to survive the shock. The excitement ane indignatian are intense. in-tense.
