MORRIS DEMANDS
PUBLIC APOLOGY
Husband of Woman Elected From
White House Addresses Pres
ident Roosevelt.

Washington, Feb. 21-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 him
self and the president regarding the
case. DR.. Morris demanded a public
apology of the president for this out
rage on womanhoOd and decency. Sec
rotary 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 other kinsfolk was to re-
frain from giving the case additional
publicity. The letter follows:
ITO the president of the United
States. Sir: Having 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 husband and citizen
to demand a public apology for this
outrage on womankind and common de-
cency.
II Is lfldI SUCH
would be tolerated anywhere in this
country, but, above, all, in the White
House.
THAT my wife has been confined to
her bed six weeks from the shock and
injuries of this damnable treatment is
bad enough, but I can say to you in
all calmness that had the original or
ders from the White House been car
ried out as to her longer incarceration,
l7nv 20
ut is therefore incumbent upon me
to repeat my urgent request that you
take action at once suitable to the cir
cumstances which have shocked the en-
tire nation. Respectfully,
MINOR MORRIS.
February 16. 1906"
Reply From Loeb.
THE White House, Washington. Feb.
10. Sir: In reply to your letter of the
10th instant the president directs me
to state to you that he had the superin-
tendent of police of the District of Co
lumbia, Major Sylvester, make a care
full investigation of the circumstances
connected with the arrest of Mrs Nor
ris for disorderly conduct at the exec
utive offices and the superintendent
submitted to the president all the aft
davits of the persons whom he had
examined. The president carefully
went over Major Sylvester'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 necessary
to make the arrest effective.
Under these circumstances the pres
ident does not consider that the Off
GERS are properly subject to blame. He
was also satisfied that the kindliest
thing that could be done to Mrs Nor
ris and her kinsfolk was to refrain
from giving additional publicity to the
circumstances surrounding the case.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM LOEB, JR-,
Secretary to the President
Or. Minor Morris, Washington,

Another Banquet by Moran.

P. ]. Moran. the contractor who is to
be the beneficiary OF the allowance OF
$4,000 and more in extras Will be the
host on the occasion when Mr. Black and
his committee visit the canyon to view
the conduit with the owlish-l.ke wise
look of the layman-
Already Mr.. Moran has been host at
one banquet That was when the newly
elected members of the council visited
the conduit two weeks ago last Sunday.
Mr.. Moran at that time served n sump-
tuouS luncheon to the visitors in his
cook house." and this delightful form
of entertainment will doubtless be re-
peated when the Black party visits him
again
Are Getting Weak Kneed.
The original plan was for the commit
tee on engineering and sewerage to re
port favorably on the $1,000 grab Fri
day night; but the truth is that two or
three members of the american party
in the council are becoming frightened
over the magnitude Of the proposed grab,
and are insisting that due ceremony shall
be observed in approving it That is why
the Black committee VIII go through the
form of inspecting The work before af-
fixing signatures to a report, which Mr..
Moran will probably draft, approving his
bill for extras"
The outlook is now, therefore. that the
council will not formally authorize the
expenditure of the $4,000 before a week
from next Monday night instead of next
Monday night, as was first intended.
"Bud" Black as Waiter.
At the former banquet given by Mr..
Moran to the city officials, Bud" Black,
son of Councilman Black, officiated as
waiter at the table. Bud was then
in the employ of the city. He contributed,
however, to the best Of his ability, TO
make the entertainment of Mr.. Moran,
his former employer, a success. Mem
bers hope that at their next visit BUD
will again exemplify his talents as a
ihasher."

ACCUSED OF MURDER
SPECIFIC CHARGE AGAINST OF.
FlclALs or WESTERN FED
GRAFTON OF MINERS.

Denver, Feb. Adjudication was
made here during the day of the com.
plants OF Governor Gooding of Idaho,
who asked acquisitions for A. II. Meyer
and William d. Haywood, president
and secretary-treasurer, respectively,
OF the Western Federation Of Miners,
and G. A. Pettibone, a former member
of the executive committee Of that la
Dor organization.
From these it appears that the men,
who were secretly arrested here Sat
urday night and ~hurriedly removed to
Idaho, were charged directly with the
murder Of Former Governor Frank
S~teunenberg Of Idaho, and not merely
with being accessories to the crime.
The complaints and acquisitions in the
three cases are identical and charge
the accused men with having dis
charged the bomb by means Of which
S~teunenberg was killed al Caldwell.
Ida, Dec. 80, 1905. The specific charge
of murder was made, II "a explained
in order to forestall habeas corpus
proceedings on the part of the accused
men, but no attempt will be made TO
prove they were in Idaho at the time
of the murder. II Is claimed, koweyer,
that they conspired with others to
murder ~Steunenberg and furnished
funds TO carry out the plot.

When the warning against nitrocul-
ture was given our readers it was not
based upon the worthlessness of the
cotton cultures. We supposed the bits
of cotton contained living bacteria, and
the thought was only that thousands
were paying 50 a package for bacteria
when they either had the bacteria in
their soils or else had soils in which
these bacteria would not live. The adj
vertising by the national department
and the dealers In commercial nitro
culture was misleading and caused u
profitable investment. But now we
know more about the cotton cultures.
The great majority of those tested by
scientists are absolutely worthless.
They are lifeless. and Professor Hard
ing Of the New York state station, aft
er q summers work in which several
other well known psychologists as
sisted. says that cotton cultures are a
failure. To this end does the much ex-
plotted discovery Of the national de.

Everybody knows that the earth

but few, however, have any idea OF the

mense ball must turn In order to ac-
complish the feat OF making one revo-
luton In a day and a night. A graphic
Idea OF the terrific pace which the old
earth keeps up year after year may be
had by comparing Its speed to that OF
q cannon ball fred from a modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocity ever
attained by such a missile has been es-
tlmated at 1,626 feet per second. which
- equal to a mile In 1910 seconds.
The earth In making one complete

almost exactly equal to that at the
