HARRIS HERE TO
 INVESTIGATE DOAN
Secret Agent From JudlCl' ary Department To See
 Local Lawyers

To investigate the record of Asso- ciste Justice Fletcher NJ. Doan oi Tombstone, J. D. Harris, a speclal gent of the judiciary department al Washington. D. C., arrived here yes terday morning, spending the day wis iting the offices of lacal attorneys 10 get their estimates of the Arizona
 iurist. 's-
 Harris did not manage to see all the lawyers. but those with whom he dld confer for the most part gave Judge Dean an excellent recommendation as to character and ability on the bench. If Harris came to gather ma
 terial derogatory to Doan, he did not succeed.
 No efforts were made by Harris to conceal the object of his visit He stated to each of the attorneys he saw that be was here to find how Judge Doan stood among the Bisbee bar. lie asked them questions as to both his morality. integrity and fairness or the
 bench.
 Doan's appointment is now held up, though both Chief Justice Edward Kent or BlOEnlA NSoOSldIC SS tice Richard E. Sloan of Prescott,
 whose terms expired about the same time as Doan's. have been appointed hy President Roosevelt and confirmed | by the Senate.
 | Against Doan charges of immoral lity and dishonesty were filed by At .torney Earl of San Francisco. One of the charges referred to an alleged Insult offered a Mexican woman at Florence by Dosn. When the woman
 was called upon to substandate Earis I charges. she fiatly contradicted them.
 From present appearances there IS ], little doubt that the name ot Fletcher IM. Doan to be Associate Justice or Arizona will be sent to the Senate jduring the next two weeks, and will
 secure the endorsement of that body. Tn this connection it might be well to state that the names or Judges Sloan and Kent were sent to the Sen late quicker than was anticipated on Iaccount of the rumor that reached Phoenix that c. F. Ainsworth was after the Chief Justiceship. or Judge lKent's place. A large number of tel egrams were sent from Phoenix 10 Washington to have the appointment hurried uo to cut of what influence lAinsworth might have on account or
 his joint Statehood views.

DELIG H TED.
Extends Olive Twig Toward Gov
ernOr--Tax Attitude in Mes
sage PIeaSeS Greatly.

Corporation Counsel George l..
Record of Jersey City, who has been
in the front of the fight for equal
taxation, is elated over the attitude
of Governor Stokes on the question
and believes that the peoples victory
has been practically won, and that
differences should now be buried and
all should work together for the pub
lie good. Mr.. Record gave out the
following statement yesterday con-
corning the situation:
II understand the governor to rec
ommend the taxation of railroad
main stem and franchises at the aver
age tax rate prevailing in the several
taxing districts of the state. | un-
derstand his definition of an average
tax rate to be such a rate as would re-
quire the railroads to pay the same
amount of taxes as they would pay
if the tax rate of each taxing district
was applied TO the main stem prop
erty located in such district.
Upon this plan the railroads
would pay the same taxes that they
would pay under our plan. This
leaves only the method of distribu-
ton in difference between us and the
governor. The governor would have
all this money 60 to the state, to be
used for state purposes. We would
prefer TO see it go directly into the
treasury of the taxing districts in
which the railroad property was sit
uated.
This is a difference which, on SO
great a problem, may honestly exist
without any reflection upon the mo-
tives of either party. | personally
am gratified as the advanced posi-
ton which the governor has taken.
1t is an emphatic Endorsement of the
justice of the principle of railroad
taxation for which we have been
fighting so long.
1T is 10Y the part of statesman
ship for us to sink minor differences
and TO cooperate in an attempt to
make the railroads pay into the state
treasury what they ought to pay.
When that is done we can surely find
some way to get for Jersey City its
just share of the taxes so paid"

MRS.. MORRIS
is VERY ILL
FROM EFFECTS
Woman Who Was Dragged from
the White House in Serious
Condition.
INCIDENT NOT CLOSED.
Report Says Taft and Another
Cabinet Officer Have Urged
President to DisavoW.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-Mrs. Minor
Morris, who on Thursday was dragged
from the White House for attempting
to force an interview with the presi
dent, is in a critical condition.
She seemed to be on the road to re.
covery at first, and her physicians held
out hopes that she would be able to be
out by Monday. At the beginning of
this week her condition took an unfa-
vorable turn, and she has been grow
Ing steadily worst. She had a con
gestive chill and has continued to grow
worse. 1t is evident that her
system has suffered something APP
preaching a collapse.
The bruises inflicted upon her by the
policemen have not disappeared. Il
striking evidence of their severity.
Her arms, shoulders and neck still
bear testimony to the nature of her
treatment. Mentally and physically
she is suffering severely.
1t is said that two cabinet officers,
n of whom is Secretary Taft. have
been laboring with the president for
two days to get him to issue a state
ment disavOwing the action of Assist
ant Secretary Barnes, who ordered Mrs.
Morris expelled, and expressing his re-
greet for the way she was treated. They
have also urged him to promise to take
action which will make impossible the
repetition of such an occurrence.
The president has held out stoutly
against the advice of these two cabinet
officers. He authorized Mr.. Barnes to
make the statement that he gave out,
in which the treatment of Mrs. Morris
was justified. On high authority, how
ever, it learned that the two cabinet
officers have nOt ceased their labors.
They both. it is said, look on the mat
ter as a serious affair.

MENHADEN PIRATES.
Jersey Coast People Pleased With
Governors Stand.

CAPE MAY, Jan. 11:-Governor
Stokes suggestion in his message for
repeal of the laws permitting menhad-
en- steamers to fish their great nets
within three miles of the coast Is
much more pleasing to the people of
the seashore counties than the rec
concentrations of the Fish and Game
Commission that they be amended to
prohibit the taking of food fish when
fishing for menhaden.
1t is as impossible to SCOOP up
great schools of menhaden without
catching food fish as it was for Shy
lock to take his pound of flesh with
II splitting blood, for the food fish
Ire always to be found feeding on the
nenhaden and among them. The
nenhaden are the most important
God for the various game and food
ish which frequent these waters, and
when they are caught up the food
1sh leave the waters to seek food
where it may be found elsewhere.
As proof of this it is noteworthy that
hose wanting good fishing and to
latch the large fish that formerly
we're to be found in the sounds go
'arther off shore each year to get in
to waters in which they may be
found.
Blue fish, locally called swapping
mackerel, which used to be numer-
Gus, affording rare sport to anglers
and profit to fishermen, are rarely
ever seen, while the gamey Sleeps
head, which were caught all summer,
not only by sportsmen, but by those
who fished for the market, are now
practically extinct along most of the
coast. The most numerous, weak
fish. now run much smaller.
The seashore resort interests are
among the most important in this
state, and the people here feel that
the legislature cannot do less than to
repeal laws which so seriously affect
their interests.

GOVERNORS REFORM
BILLS ARE FAVORED.
Legislature Will Promptly Act on
the Important Suggestions Con-
tanned in Message.

TRENTON, Jan. 11:-Governor
Stokes call in his annual message to
the legislature for reform is to meet
with a prompt and hearty response
ON the part of both the senators and
the assemblymen. Several of the
bills he suggested will be introduced
in both the senate and the house next
Monday evening.
1t is almost certain that a law will
be passed to abolish all fees for all
county offices. Bills with this pur-
pose in view will be introduced by
Senator Hutchinson, of this city, and
Senator Jackson, of MiddleseX coun-
ty. Senator Jackson proposes that
the sheriff, the surrogate and the
county clerk of counties like Mercer
shall receive an annual salary OF
$4,000 each, while Senator Hutchin-
son goes him n better and makes
the salary $4,000 per annum. The
Hutchinson bill will make the salar-
les in second-class counties $4,000
each, in third-class, $500, and in
fourth-class, $4,000. In first-class
counties the officers are already on a
salary basis, each receiving $4,000
per year.
The Jackson bill ranges the salar-
les from $500 to $4,000, according
TO the population of the county. 1t
is believed that the legislature will
heed the advice of Governor Stokes
and abolish all fees in county offices.
Other reform measures, prompted
by the governors message, will in
clude equal taxation and limited
franchise bills. Assembly leader
Perkins will introduce a bill embody-
ing the idea of Governor Stokes, as
will also Senator Hillery, the leader
of the upper house. The Colby men
are also expected to introduce several
measures along their ideas of reform.

BRADLEY WON'T SELL.
PARK Amazed by Founders With
draWaI of Option on Land.

ASBURY PARK, Jan. 11:-With-
drawing the option he had given to
this city to sell Auditorium square
to it for $4,000, Senator James A.
Bradley sent the following telegram
to Mayor Atkins yesterday:
For reasons that may be given
hereafter, | withdraw all PROPOSE
tons as to Auditorium square"
Up to this time it had been thought
Bradley was heartily willing to have
the square pass into the city's hands,
and, in fact, anxious to have the deal
go through. He was called up in his
New York office by telephone n
asked for further details. Il refer
you to my telegram was all he
would say.
81 am thunderstruck,' said Dr..
Keator of the Beach Commission. Il
can't understand the meaning OF such
a move. Mr.. Bradley has offered his
square to us several times in the last
five years, and now that we have TAX
en- up with the offer such a turn is in
applicable. We probably will AVE
an early conference with Mr.. Brad
ley"
Several prominent persons a they
think Bradley cannot recall the OPP
ton legally. The square is valued at
$4,000 at the least.

HAS
PASSED AWAY
President of Chicago University
Claimed by DEATH Cancer
the Cause.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-William Rainey
Harper, president of the University Of
Chicago, - dead at his home here after
a long illness of cancer of the mites.
tines.
He had been i'll for months of can
GER and had been operated upon only
recently in the hope of saving his life.
AT that time his case was pronounced
hopeless, and he became weaker and
weaker.
His family had been expecting the
end for some days; and many of them
were at his side when he died.
Taken away at the height of his use
full career, the death of DR.. Harper
falls as a heavy loss not only upon
Chicago and the great university of
which that city is justly proud, but ed
ucational circles throughout the world.
Born at New Concord, o.. in 1856,
this eminent scholar early in life laid
the foundation for the career he was
destined to follow. He was a student
of exceptional ability, and at the age of
fourteen he had graduated from Mus
kingum college. This was in 1870. In
the fall of that year he entered Yale,
where in 1875 he secured Il Phi. ID. de-
gree. In the same year he persuaded
Ellen. the daughter of President Daniel
Paul of Muskingum college, to elope
with him, thus overcoming the objec-
tons which Miss Paurs father had to
her marriage because of the suitor's
youthful age. Married life did not in
terrupt young Harper's pursuit of
study.
The University of Chicago owes what
1t is today to Dr.. Harper, and in years
to come, when the great seat of learn
ing has become mellowed with time
and scholarly tradition. it will stand as
a fitting monument to the work he so
ably began.
President Schurman of Cornell said:
president Harper was pre-eminent
as an educational administrator and
was the greatest college president of
the present generation. The Universe
ty of Chicago will remain for all time
as a monument to his memory"
President Charles w. Eliot of Har-
ward university said, His life, wonder
fully active and energetic. was brought
by excessive work to too early a close"
