Mr.. Hale, in explaining the provision

Mr.. Hale declared that the 100000
was not too large a sum when the prop
critics of other governments i'll Paris were
considered. The idea was, he said, to
enable men of modest means to accept
the position of ambassador.

While not opposing the proposition,
Mr.. Teller insisted that an attempt was

morning by bullet fired by E. H. B.
Mackey, an eccentric English stenog-
rapher. who then committed suicide.
was resting well tonight and unless
complications develop he will recover.
morgan probably owes his life to the
quick wit and bravery of his IA year
old daughter Dorothy, who saw Mackey
draw his revolver and struck ii with
her hand. This DETECTED the bullet;
otnerWlse the postmaster would have
peen 1atally wounded, for his assailant
was at close range and fired four shots.
Inc shooting occurred at One Hundred
and Forty-sixth street. short dis
tance from Morgans home. He was on
MS way downtown at the time.
An investigation of the life and rec
ord OF Mackey reveals that he was of a
morbid nature and a former inmate of
an asylum in Worcester; Mass. That
his act was premeditated is made GER
tain by letter which he left, but aside
from fancied grievance against Nor
gan and the postoffice authorities con-
ceTning the handling of his mail moth
Ing has come TO light to indicate why
he should have sought to murder the
postmaster.
His clothing. when searched, gave UP
between 80 and 40 smokeless cartridges,
heavy slungshot, a knife with a four
inch blade and clasp knife. A guam
tity of literature on socialism and a
slungshot similar to the one found on
the body were discovered in his room.
That he was rational during work
hours, however, was attested by the
Broadway firm of lawyers by whom he
was employed.
