THE White House, Washington, Feb.
10, 1906.
"Sir:-In reply to your letter of the
18th instant, the President directs me
to state to you that he had the super
intendent of police of the District of
Columbia, Major Sylvester. make
careful investigation of the circumstan-
ceS connected with the arrest of Mrs
Morris for disordcrly conduct at the
executive office and the superintendent
submitted to the President all the af-
fidavits of the persons when he had ex-
amncd. The President carefully went
over Major Sylvestcr's report and the
affidavits. and. also personally saw
Major Sylvester and some Of the per-
sons making the affidavits. He came
to the conclusion that the arrest was
justified and that the force used in
making the arrest was caused by the
resistance offered by Mrs. Morris to
the officers in the discharge Of their
duty and was no greater than was nee
cssary to make the arrest effective
Under the. circumstances, the Pres
ident does not consider that the officers
are properly subject to blame He was
also satisfied that the kindest thing
that could be done to Mrs. Morris and
her kinsfolk. was to refrain from Civ
ing any additional publicity to the cir
cumstances surrounding the case.
Yours truly,
'WILLIAM LOEB. Jr.
Secretary to the President.

The kindest Thing for
Mrs. Minor Morris
Would Be to Shield Her From
Further Rotoriety.
Her Recent Arrest at The White House
Justified by Investigation.

Washington Feb. o1.-Dr. Minor Nor
riS, whose wife some weeks ago was
elected from the White House where
she had gone to present alleged griev-
ances to the President, today. gave out
for publication the correspondence
which recently passed between himself
and the President regarding the case.
DR.. Morris demanded a public apology
Of the President "for this outrage on
womanhood and common deccncy."
Sec. Loeb replied to the letter, stating
that an investigation by the chief of
police showed that the arrest was JUS
titled, and that the kindest act to Mrs.
Morris and her kinsfolk was to re
frain from giving the case additional
publicity. The letters follows:
ITO the President of the United
States:
''Sir:-I1aving waited patiently a
number of weeks that you might have
ample time to ascertain all the circum-
stances connected with the insult re-
Gently offered my wife at the White
House and that you might make some
expression of depreciation which would
naturally be expected, it is now incum-
bent upon me as a husband and citi-
zen to demand a public apology for this
outrage on womanhOod and common
decency.
1t is unthinkable that such brutal
ity would be tolerated anywhere in this
country, but above all in the White
House.
THAT my wife has been confined to
her bel six weeks from the shock and
injuries of this damnable treatment is
bad enough but l can say to You in all
cal,nness that had the original orders
from the White House been carried out
as TO her longer Incarceration, her life
would have been sacrificed.
1T is therefore incumbent upon me to
repeat my urgent request that you
take action al once suitable to the cir
cumstances which have shocked the en-
tire nation.
Respectfully.
MINOR MORRIS.

The alleged assault occurred as will be
remembered, Thursday, Jan. IS at klon-
dixie, small settlement near the lumber
mill of York Bros, about II miles from
Howe Brook on the Ashland branch of
the B. & A. Railroad. 1t is said that it
was the result of a row between the two
men. DObson, so the story gees. was
fcoling with Dyer. who is a smaller man
than he, and made the latter very angry.
Dohson stepped in front of Dyer. who,
it is alleged, struck him over the left side
of his head with the heavy iron point of
a peavey or cant dog, breaking the skull
in a V-Shaped wound. After the assault
Dobson. who is 2 very strong man phys
ically, walked to Howe Brook station and
took the train to HoultOn, where he went
to the Office Of DR.. Parker NJ. Ward. DR..
Ward saw at once that the man was bad
" hurt and nlarveled that he should
have been able to get to Houlton as lie
did. He took him on the next train to
Bangor, where on Friday, Jan. 10, he was
admitted to the Eastern Maine General
hospital An examination was made at
once and the crushed and broken pieces
of bone removed from his wound, leav-
ing V-shaped hole in the skull. three
or four inches long and an inch and Il
half wide at the base.
Dobson developed brain fever and fer
a time his life was dcspared of. but his
natural vitality was SO great that after
the crisis he improved and the hospital
authorities were encouraged to believe
that he would recover. He has been
slowly improving until Tuesday. when he
took sudden ill turn and steadily sank
On Jan. p the news came from Fort
Fairfield that Charles Dyer had on that

subscribers. but they are actual con-
ditions-undeniable facts. Now we
are not making 1t our aim to discour-
age you in the slightest degree, but
this Is merely to be taken as note
of warning to those who may have
entertained high ideas of the business
but who have very limited amount
of practical knowledge gained by eX-
perience. True it is that this field is
'open to great development. but this
should be along practical lines. What
We need Is more demonstration and
less speculation. Begin the business
in small way and learn the business
step by step. You may find on close
examination that 1t does not come up
to your first expectations; II so. the
best thing to do is to drop the work
ut once. But II you find that it fully
comes up to your first conceptions and
il you are satisfied with the outlook
then 20 ahead and win. There may
come times of encouragement but per-
severe and your efforts will be crown
ed with success. ii the reader has
never considered the subject in this
light it would be we'll to do so now.
When you have got your bearings. as
the saying is, map out a definite. con-
sistent plan and stick to 1t" to the
end.
