this kind, for the man who committed the
crime was evidently but a tool. and the

dastardly accomplices.

Views Of Acting Attorney General.
Speaking Of the attempted assassination.
Acting Attorney General Beck said:
''The news is appalling. The Presidents
death would be a national calamity. No one
has enjoyed to a greater extent the pro-
found respect and confidence OF citizens

other day was the prophecy OF new and
greater era for America, and Americans
everywhere looked to him as the exponent
OF q national aspiration which had given

but for one Of the kindliest and gentlest
men who ever impressed his personality
