A nesress named Lille Harris was shot
In the head twice last night at her home,
corner of Fourth and Canal streets, by a
negro named Charlie Perkins, who is an
ex-convict and a general bad character.
The shooting was the result of unre-
requited love. The man had made re-
peated advances to the woman, and had
been as many times repulsed. Moved by
a mad jealousy and urged by his intense
love. the man appeared at the woman's
home last night He found the Harris
woman putting her baby to bed. He
again declared himself, and was again
turned down. Enough Of the humane was
left in him to prevent his committing the
crime, which he had set his mind to do.
in the present of innocent babyhood, so
he asked the woman to step outside. She,
divining his purpose, refused. and, driven
to desperation, he pulled revolver and
fred at her. Two bullets took effect, both
entering the head, one in the left tenn
pie and the other just below the left eye.
He was SO close to her when he fired
that the powder burned the wonan's
face.
The noise OF the shots brought the
family upon the scene. The woman lived
with her sister. and soon a large; crowd
excitement reigned, during the prevalence
of which the man succeeded in making his
escape, and he has not been heard Of
since.
The ambulance was called, and Dr.
Proctor responded. Upon examination 1t
was found that one bullet was lodged
just beneath the skin under the right ear.
The other has not been located 1t is
thought the bullet found made a circuit
Of the woman's head. as instant death
would have resulted had it taken e
straight course.
Throughout the entire affair the wo-
man did not lose consciousness, and talked
freely. She was moved to the Retreat for
the Sick.
The baby was LEFT on the bed while the
woman was being treated, and it shrieked
itself hoarse. no one paying the slightest
attention to IT until the woman was re-
moved.
The woman will recover.

CHICAGO; ILL, January 1o.-A ma
tional convention at Washington for the
purpose of impressins upon President
Roosevelt the urgent necessity of relief
from the stringency OF the coal situation.
was decided on to-day at conference at
the Grand Pacific Hotel. The call for the
gathering will be issued. prooably Mon
day, by Mayor Maybury, Of Detroit, act
ing as chairman Of the permanent COM
rittee Of the Detroit Coal Convention.
1t was this committee which to-day agreed
on the necessity for a. national meeting
at the capital.
The conference opened at 10 o'clock this
morning, and at an adjourned session it
was voted to reconveae the Detroit con-
vention at Washington at the earliest
practical date. The decision followed a
series Of speeches, In which Attorney
General Knox was censured, it being al
legged that he had not enforced the laws,
by which,, it was urged, redress could be
secured.
There was a considera BILE divergence
of opinion al first as to the most effective
method to be pursued to obtain relief
from the present price Of coal.
Various Suggestions.
Suggestions were made that an open
letter be addressed to President Roose-
Welt. that a convention be called at De-
troit or Chicago, or that Congress be
appealed to for action The proposal to
move on Washington in q body" finally
prevailed, it being agreed that the en-
forcement Of existing laws offered ade-
quate means Of relief. The delegates to
the Detroit convention will be members
OF the Washington convention, and In ad-
dition chambers of commerce. boards Of
trade governors Of States, and mayors
of large cities, will be asked to name rep
resenta tives. The date has not been
hxed.
The speeches made by Senator Mason.
Mr.. Tarsney. Rev. R. "A. White. and
Mayor Maybury Indicated that the con-
vention at Washington would be devoted
largely to the presentation Of charges
that Attorney-General Knox has famed
to grant the relief that the laws make

Che One man Right.

Copernicus was at one time alone
in his belief that the earth and
planets revolved round the sun.
Galilei was right when he asserted
that the moon revolves round the
earth, and SO was Columbus when
he asserted the possibility of sail
ing round the world. But in all
these cases it is possible that
others, unknown to fame, may
have shared their beliefs.
There are two instances in which
one man was absolutely right and,
so far as we know. ell the rest Of
mankind wrong. One was that Of
Newton, the discoverer of the prin.
cipIe of universal grayitation, and
the other was that of John Har.
vey, who was absolutely alone II
his conviction that the blooc
circulates through the veins ane
arteries of living animals. In thil
instance so universal was the be

Who Is He?
What Is He?

Many inside dissatisfaction, and
no doubt many on the outside are
to think there are only
one or two persons in this broad
universe who have studied the lives
Of the poets Of past and present
times and are acquainted with
their family histories. During my
soiourn here I have taken great
interest in reading The Mirror
thoroughly and at the present time
I cannot recall an issue that has
not had some scathing remarks on
the poet by some writer. Now, I
must admit that I know very little
of the private lives of our great
poets, excepting what / can gather
from their writings and what has
been given us in their biographies.
/ must say also that at the present
time I am not positive that know
what q poet is, but if my powers
of comprehension were reflective
and elastic enough perhaps | might
be able to arrive at some conclu-
sion that would be satisfactory to
myself at least. But unfortunately
my brains have been in one local
ity SO long that they have lost
their elasticity and refuse to slop
over in the endeavor to solve the
mystery.
Who is the poet? What is he?
Is he man who writes history,
verse, prose, stories, plays or songs?
II trust I will be informed as I
i must admit that I am doubling
what I have previously learned
since I began to read the r. s and
i HIS of The MIRROR.
1t does seem shame to see
young men pour out their venge.
