NARROW ESCAPE FOR CHILD.
-Year-0ld Girl Attacked by I'M
known Man Near Morrisville.

Morisville, Nov. 29.LThis eommun-
ity is much aroused over an assault
which occurred last Saturday, the vic
tim being Ruby, the pretty 1t.year-old
daughter Of +. X. Seaver. assistant at
the electric light station at Cady's Falls,
about a mile and a half from this VIII
lage The little girl had been in the
habit Of coming weekly to Morrisyille
to take her music lessons and on Sat.
urday afternoon was walking alone over
the road, which is somewhat lonely
one with few houses When near the
old Merriam place she was attacked by
an unknown man and dragged down the
bank. Although frail child she pnt
up such a sharp struggle against her as
sailant that she escaped from him and
ran until she reached the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Clark Richardson Of this vii
llage, who are friends Of the family. She
was in a badly frightened condition and
her clothing was much torn. She said
that when she escaped from her assail-
ant he ran across the field toward the
woods beside the St. bloomsbury and
Lake Champlain railroad track. A
search was made and on Monday man
named Gravelin was arrested on suspi-
cion, but as the child failed to identify
him he was released. She described the
man as having curly hair, blue eyes and
wearing brown overcoat and cap. She
also states that his breath snelt Of iiq-

SECRETARY TAFT
GIVES POIN TIERS

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March l7.-Sec-
retary of War Taft appeared before the
house committee on insular affairs today
and discussed the Cooper bill authorizing
the Philippine commissioners to issue
bonds. He approved of the suggestion
that the maximum for supreme court jus
tees salaries should be fixed at $4,000,
and favored uniformity in measurements
necessary to the enforcement of the min
ing laws.
Secretary Taft further suggested an ad-
ditional section amending the coinage laws
so that the treasurer may be authorized
to issue silver certificates in denominations
up to a thousand pesos. The largest de-
nomination now used is ten pesos, equiva-
lent to s.. He also asked for the repeal
or modification of the tonnage tax on
vessels coming into Manila harbor, so as
to encourage large steamers to come in
from other ports. The tax is now on the
capacity instead of the cargo
Taking up the railroad question, Secre-
tary Taft said that Secretary Root had
tried to interest President Van Horne of
the Canadian Pacific. who had built a
Cuban road. but the latter was too much
occupied in Cuba. His opinion was, how
ever, that private enterprise can manage
railroads in the Philippines much more
economically than the government can do
it,
