Despite organized efforts to bring

determination to crush such demon
strations, is generally recognized as
having reached a feyerish If not
dangerous state Of rurest. Whether
the situation will grow worse 1T is
hard to say, but it should be re-
called that the history of French
labor movements generally shows
that turbulence quickly dies out.
The revolutionary branch Of the.
unionists is worked up to an unusual
pit on account Of the shooting by
troops at Vigneux Of demonstrators
and the arrests Of various labor
leaders,
The government is steadily pre-
pairing to prevent outbreaks ON Sun-
day and Monday, when the second
strike. called by the Federation Of
Labor is due to take effect. Adj
5ditional arrests Of laobr leaders are
planned.
The great majority of the French
newspapers continue unequivocally
to condemn the laborites for the
Vigneux riots. but some of the labor
organs, and especially the Guerre
Sociale, the mouthpiece Of Gustav
Herve, anti-military agitator, insist
that revolution has arrived and
that the hour has come for a bitter
conflict between capital and labor.

Is Enacted by a DementedI
Farm Hand Closing With
His Suicide
Morally Wounds Employer.
and Wife and Stands
Guard Over Them

Chicago, Ill, Aug. Ia tragedy
of attempted murder and suicide,
following which one person is dead
and two are dying, occurred today at
Blackberry Center, village not far
from Batavia, Ill, and will leave. a
blind woman, 80 years old, as the
sole survivor of a wealthy farmers
household. i {
The Probable fatal shooting of J.
A. Morrill,, well known as philan-
thropist, was swiftly followed by the
attempted murder of his housekeep-
er, Mrs. May Balcolm. After the
shooting, John Larson, teh maniacal
assistant, compelled the wounded
pair to sit upright on their chairs
for four full hours, while he held
shotgun. Then a few minutes after
wards Larson blew off his own head.
The pathos of the CORY drama was
supplied by Mrs. Norris aged moth
er, who is totally blind, whose life
had been spared by whim of the
mailman. When the final explosion,
followed by the fresh scent of gun
powder and blood, told her that Lar
son was no more a menace, she
CROPPED for quarter of a mile along
the country road to the nearest
dwelling, where she tainted, after
gasping her awful message.
Larson had been eight years on the
Morrill, farm and was treated almost
as a member of the family. His
resentment towards Morrill, is be-
lieved to have grown out of recent
disagreement resulting from drink
ing on the part of Larson.
After Larson had placed his bleed
ing and nearly unconscious victims
in two chairs, his murderous mood
seemed to change to one of pity. He
began to bind their wounds with
handkerchiefs. He heard rustling
| at the door, and on turning he saw
that it was Mrs. Morrill's feeble old
| mother.
'I won't kill you, old lady" he
said with an effort at courtesy.
est down and make yourself at
hcne. I'm going to watch over these
two here. They need guarding"
| The blind woman took a chair near
| that of her wounded son. She rea-
liked only dimly what had happen
ed to her son, who though still con-
scious, dared not talk to her. Lar
son, too, seated himself with the
i gun across his knees. He said moth
ing to his victims, merely muttering
to himself.
! Thus four long hours were drag
ged out, the wounded pair groaning
| feebly at times. At the end of the
! fourth hour Larson said:
| t<Well, nobody is coming to shoot
me, after all I believe I will shoot
myself
The next instant he took his own
life with the shotgun, and the old
blind lady CROPPED her way from the
house. #-.. ..~.... ~ -.- -

him and said would. Then he
said we would go over TO Belle Isle
first.
I'VE took a car and then the boat,
and. when we got to the island we
walked quite way. When we got TO
a clump of bushes, he grabbed me. |
had a little whistle In my pocket aud
blew 1t. because he scared me.
HE caught me by the throat and
choked me SO that | could not blow
the whistle. 1t hurt awfully and
was afraid he was going TO kill me.
So closed my eyes and just fell down
pretending was dead Then he must
have got scared because he ran away
without abusing me any more.
II could not get up for while, but
when | could | got up and started to
walk across the bridge A lady came
along in an automobile with three
boys and they stopped and asked me
why was crying. Then they took me
back to the police station and the
boys brought me home after while"
The little fellows neck Is badly
bruised and scratched and his clothes
were soiled and disarranged when he
was brought home.
Indications are that he narrowly es-

The assailant Is described as being
Is or 20 years OF age. He wore a
