New Liberty Party Organized.

Chattanooga, Tenn.-In n convention
OF Its organizers here Thursday, the
birth of the new Liberal party was for
mally proclaimed and its platform of
principles announced.
The convention was called to order
by Sidney c. Tapp of Atlanta, leader
in the movement. Mr.. Tapp urged that
women be permitted to vote. Charles
]. Moore of Atlanta was made perma-
nent chairman. The committee on res
olutions made Its report with but little
delay. The platform in part follows:
I'VE demand such amendments to
constitutions of the various states OF
the union and to the constitution OF
the United States as will permit wom-
en- to vote on equal basis. terms and
conditions with men. and grant unto
women all legal rights and privileges
which are granted unto men under the
law.
I'VE demand that the initiative and
referendum be adopted.
I'VE demand such legislation as will
provide that when n citizen has accum-
uiated millions of dollars by virtue Of
increase of population. or other causes
produced by the people. and his mil
lions make him n menace to society.
that portion of his property and in
come thereby revert to the government
to be used for the support of the gov
ernment and be distributed to the pub
lsc for humanitarian purposes.
I'VE demand absolute separation Of
H.. 4,
church to a purely spiritual institu-
ton"
The platform then goes into a denun-
citation of Bryan. Taft, President
Roosevelt and William r. Hearst and
closes by urging all woman suffragists
throughout the country to organize.

tempted to avenge the death of Presi-
dent Garfield by shooting at Guiteau,
the assassin, William Jones. locally
known as bill" Jones. the avenger. a
farmer. Sunday night shot and killed
John A. Mcpherson of Detroit at
Bates farm, near Brookland, on the
outskirts of this city.
The weapon used was shotgun,
and McPherson's breast was riddled
with bullets. An unloaded rifle was
found lying beside the body. The
shotgun was found on the porch of
Jones house
Jones was arrested shortly after
the killing ind brought to this city
and lodged in jail.
Mrs. Jones, who is said to have been
an eye witness to the killing. has not
been found. Jones admitted to Coro-
ner hewitt that he shot Mcpherson,
but declares that he acted in self-de-
fense. The police have learned, 1t is
said. that the two men had quarreled
over possession Of horse.
Mcpherson, who was 30 years old.
had been working on Jones' farm
since he was discharged from the
United States marine corps June "a
last.
Several days following upon Presi-
dent Garfield's death, Guiteau was TAX
en- to court Tor a preliminary hearing,
and it was while he was being re-
turned to Jail under charge of District
Marshal Corkhill, that Jones attempt
ed to shoot him. Jones was riding
spirited horse. He followed the pris-
oner from the court house to within
several blocks OF the Jail. when he
suddenly spurred his horse. darted
through the crowd. drew a revolver
and fired into the prison van. Guiteau
who was sitting near the door. caught
n glimpse Of Jones as he drew the
weapon. and lodged. The bullet sped
over his head and lodged In the side
of the wagon.
Jones. believing he had killed
Guiteau. dug the spurs into bis horses
side and escaped arrest at that time
He was captured shortly afterward
near Fredericksburg. Va. Jones was
tried and acquitted. Those who re
member him at that time describe
him as a daredevil sort OF man and
constantly doing things that drew
him into public notice. Jones in
later years has been regarded as a
good. law-a5iding citizen. and the po-
lice records fail to disclose anything
against him.

WHEN CUB" SHOWED UP LATE.
His Excuse Was One That Few Of the
Tribe Could Make.

The average newspaper reporter is
young man generally not possessed
OF too much money and who con-
siders himself lucky II he is able to
square accounts from week to week.
But there is one newspaper reporter
in New York who does not have to
bother about financial problems. He
rides down TO the office of his paper
every day in his own automobile. The
young man is the son of a wealthy
iron manufacturer. He Is a reporter
OF the common or garden variety on
an afternoon newspaper and SO far
has managed to hold on to his job.
He showed up so late at his office
the other morning that his city editor
inquired, somewhat sarcastically.
whether he thought he was working g
on a morning newspaper.
The cub tapped his highly polished
tan shoes with his slender cane,
flecked a bit of dust from his clothes
and struck the city city editor dumb
By replying:

wake me up on time"
