pr. Morr,. D.s.nd. Hi. Wife.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Dr. Minor Morris. whose wife was ejected from the White House last Thursday. has given out a public statement. in which be arraigns those responsible for her removal and denounces the imposition of a fine in her case as adding to her humiliation. He says: "A woman of the highest culture. of the rarest at- tainments. who has devoted her life to her home. her family and her ideals. whose only thought has been to do good and who has always considered others before herself. wife and moth- CT. has been seized from behind in the waiting room of the White House and ms'treated with brutality which hu- manity would revolt at seeing accord ed tO its lowest type. The details of this sickening thing. unnamesble are nov known to the whole country
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-01-09

One of the subjects that has occu- pied the attention of social and ofi1clal circles in Washington almost to the exclusion of congress. is the treatment meted out to Mrs Minor Morris at the white house the other day. ..Thls..w .wo- man, it may be remembered, went to the white house to see the president about her husband who. as she alleged, has been unjustly dismissed from the army medical service. She was or dered out of the house by Assistant Secretary Barnes and failing to gu promptly. was hustled out by two big policemen and a negro janitor. ;she fell down and was dragged across the wet asphalt and sent to the house Of detention. where she was locked up on the charge of insanity which was not sustained. Now no one thinks for q minute that the president had any thing to do with the occurrence or knew of it till he saw it in the papers. But it is suggestion of the style in which things have been running at the ante-rOoms of the white house for several months. The secretaries aud assistant secretaries have gradually assumed the functions of surly watch dogs and have hedged the white house around with ceremony and restric- tions. The president is accessible. if nj times abrupt and quick tempered, and he is always decent and respect full to women even if they are not young and pretty. MT Barnes. tho secretary. doubtless realizes now that if would have heen better 10 have al lowed the eccentric Mrs Morris to read the president her original poem on in somnia. The poem would doubtless have had a sopOrific effect on the pres ident.

 Lynching was less frequent in these United States last year than in many previous years and it is to be hoped that the improvement will be perma- nent. But still there were seventy-five lynchings reported and that is alto gether too many. But out Of the sew enty-five reported, only fifteen were for assaults upon women. Lynchings have been excused on that ground for a long time and those who objected to them have been told that under the same circumstances you would do the same thing That argument hardly holds with sixty cases for entirely diff ferent causes.-Bridgepor Standard.

Rate legislation and the Philippine
 tariff are the two questions now OrcG.
 pying the mind of congress. says our
 Washington correspondent. The Payne
 bill reducing the Philippine tariff to
 free trade on all articles but tobacc0
 and sugar is a matter of almost as gen
 eral interest as is the railroad rate
 measure. But of course railway leg
 islation affects more people in lnis country than does the other measure.
 The Hepburn rate bill has the call in
 the house. Tn the senate there are half a dozen measures Incubatinz in the committee and no telling which of them will be reported to the senate. II may be said that nearly all of the bills have the same main Object in view. that is giving the interstate commerce commission power 10 fix a rate. which it ought to have had in ths first place and which the original biii obviously intended it should have But it is matter Of history that this power wss left out in the hurry Of going to press The Hepburn bill in addition to the rate making feature empowers the railroads t0 furnish icing. vendIstins- ransshipDent and seversl other services under the gaise of which rebates sre nov paid L.

TUESDAY. JAN 9, 1906.

The announcement of the secretary
 of the interior that he has secured 600 indictments and thirty-seven convic- tions already in the land fraud cases
 will be received with mingled satis-
 faction and chagrin by the American
 public. It is matter that touches the
 pocket of every citizen of the United
 States and it is work not yet fin
 ished, that has been carried on quietly
 and unostentatiously by the secretary of the interior for the past three years.
 The announcement of indictments and convictions made from time to time seems not to have carried very much
 weight. But the aggregate is start ling. So also is the statement that the work is only well begun and that there will be more indictments and unfor- tunately fewer convictions to follow. Secretary Hitchcock may not be an at tractive personality. He is said to be cold blooded. He is nightly indiffer ent either to popular praise or censure' But in this case he has performed great public service. He has shown in legal terms and sealed with the pun ishment of the penitentiary what every one who had anything to do with it before him knew. that the land busi' ness in such states as still had public lands to dispose of was noneycomoed with graft. He has secured evidence that has sent some of the grafters to jail and the only pity is that he could not make the number larger He has uncovered a system of graft besides which the postofice scandals were as tn; productions of amateurs sneak thief and second story work as con- pared with the achievements of fin ished cracksmen and bank looters. |

 Dr. Isaac Frank, one of the physi- clans called to attend MT. Horner, tes- tified that about 10:2o o'clock on the night of the shooting he was awakened by his mother, who told him that he was wanted. He stuck his head out of a window and saw Dr. Simpson, who shouted:
 Hurry up, old man, for heavens sake"
 Witness said he asked simpson what he was wanted for, and the latter re- piled, T have shot my father-in.law," and asked him to hurry up and attend to him.
 Witness examined the man and found two wounds in the stomach. He decid- cd at once that it would be necessary to perform an operation.
 At the hearing Mrs. Hcrner described the events preceding the shooting. de- claring that Dr. Simpson had been handling the gun recklessly all the evening.
 She was in another room when her husband was shot. she said, and ran to the kitchen when she heard the gun go off. She found her husband on the floor wounded and Dr. Simpson run ning about. She said be ran outside with the gun and then came back to the house. She exclaimed. q hope God will forgive you for this:.''
