WOMAN'S HUSBAND TALKS
Dr.. Morris Says Treatment Of His Wife
at White House Was Shame .
and National Disgrace.


"This white house outrage is
burning shame and a national dis
grace"
So said Dr. Minor Morris, husband
of Mrs. Morris, who was forcibly re-
moved from the executive offices in
Washington, and taken to the house
Of detention. Dr. Morris arrived in
Washington early Saturday morning
and found his wife still confined TO
her bed, suffering from nervous shock,
but much improved. He was indig-
nant, but was guarded in his state
ments as to what he proposed to
do.
Mrs. Morris condition was sucn
that she was permitted to receive
newspaper men in her room, where
she and DR.. Morris discussed with
them the story Of her fathers will,
which brought on an estrangement
between Mrs. Morris and her brother,
Representative Hull, and which led
to much personal bitterness, crimina-
ton and recrimination.
According to DR.. Morris, he was re-
moved from the surgeon generals OF
fee on charges filed by Representa-
tive Hull at time when Mrs. Mo-
ris was about to go to Pueblo, Colo'
to get at certain facts pertaining to
the will, which she alleged had been
made to appear in the case.
It was these charges, Mr.. Morris
said, which Mrs. Morris desired the
president to have investigated, mas
much as both she and her husband
had exhausted their efforts to have
Secretary of War Root and other Of
ficials of the war department to take
action. In view of their refusal to
act, DR.. Morris said the president was
the only person left to whom sucn
an appeal could be made. What he
desired, he added was a vindicatfon
Of the charges filed by his brother
in-law, rather than reinstatement.
Acting on the advice Of friends, it
is probable that DR.. Morris will, aid
dress a letter to the president. urg-
ing him to investigate, not only the
charges against him, but also certain
officers of the war department, who
are alleged to have permitted them
selves to be improperly Influenced in
his case.
Il do not desire a reinstatement to
my position" he said, 'but do. want
those charges looked into. They are
unjust and false.
According to my present deternir
nation, I feel that so far as the treat.
ment of Mrs. Morris is concerned, /
will take no action, believing that the
sympathetic letters and kilograms
which have been received from friends
and strangers from all parts Of the
country, as well as the attitude. Of
many newspapers on the subject, have
accomplished more than could be
done if a protest we're to be made

STANFORD DON'T } LIKE RUGBY

In spite Of the apparent success OF
the Rugby game as an Intercollegiate
sport. the executive committee OF the
student body Of the university held a
special meeting and decided to send
Coach James +. flanagan East to study
the methods of play at the large East
crn universities. Coach flanagan will
leave the university and will be gone
approximately three weeks. One week
OF this time will be spent ut Harvard
with Coach Reid and another week
with Coach Yost ut Michigan.
This action on the part OF the exec,-
tive committee comes as a surprise to
a large part Of the student body. vino
had given up all hope OF having the
American sport reinstatcd. The gen
eral feeling among the students is
strongly for the old style OF play. but
sim Rugby is considered n good game.
Coach flanagan Is partial to the Eng
fish contest, as Is also Captain Stott
but the other members OF the squad
are almost without exception favorable

Tho action was the direct result Of n
meeting Of Skull and Snakes. the upper
class society, at which eight members
of the varsity football team were pres.
ent and were unanimous In their sup
port OF the American game. Other or.
CARNATIONS have discussed the sit,ia.
tion and have come to the conclusion
that the game as played In the East
has proven decided success. and tia,
II will be to the advantage OF the coasi
universitleslto be IN line with the other
large universities.
just what stand the faculty will take
ON the matter is still uncertain, but
their adoption Of the Rugby game was
provisional on he success OF the re-
vised American game. Since the sue

East Is assured little antagonism to the
proposed readoption OF the old style
