The elder Campbell. who was a

to his assistance.
There is some difference in the
reports as to the details OF the
shooting. A graphic account is CIV

the tragedy. knight said that in n
large crowd about a voting place
he saw Police Officer Murphy strug.

the struggle seemed nearly over
and the policeman's antagonist
seemed to be ceasing his resistance
he saw young Campbell run up and
strike Murphy in the face. Muir

ran out East High street, while
Murphy continued toward the police
station with his prisoner.
A little later young Campbell
came running up with a revolver in
his hand. He ran up to Murphy
and showed the pistol in his face.
Murphy was evidently surprised at
the attack, but held to his prison.
er Young Campbell demanded of
Murphy that he turn his father
loose. but Murphy refused.
Just then Patrolman Smith came
up, and as young Campbell turned
to strike the officer. Murphy struck
him three times over the head with

was still using his pistol when he
was struck with another bullet,

Murphy had fallen, but he got
up and staggered to where young
Campbell was struggling with some

leaned over, paced the muzzle of

NO TIME FOR INFLATED CUR

Representative Fowler Chairman OF
the house committee on baE!Iing and
currency In the last congress and
destined. no doubt. TO oc :upy the
same station in the house Of the Six
tieth congress, finds in the present
emergency an opportunity to boost
the asset currency scheme. but he
will find that even bankers ar, by
no means unanimous in advocating
that form of initiation, There is every
reason to believe that II at the begin
ming of the present stringency flood
of asset currency had been turned
loose upon the country il would
have merely aggravated the situation.
What We have said before can not
be disputed. There is no lack of cul.
rency. The trouble is the medium
is not circulating but is boarded IN
the banks. II 1t were possible TO issue
the asset currency and impound the
real money the money changers
would frequently take occasion TO
issue the asset currency notes in
order TO force currency to pre-.
MUM We cannot afford 10 have
deprecated money in this country
and the asset currency scheme would
certainly produce a disaster OF that
kind in an emergency like the present
one
Asset currency would merely enable
a certain class of banks to expand
