An Error Corrected.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 9.-On Oc-
a dispatch from this city to the effect
that in the United States Supreme
Court the International Text Book
Company was denied a re-hearing in
IT'S suit against Aaron T. Pigg, of To
peka, Kansas. 1t now appears that
this was an error caused by a mis-
take of the Supreme Court Clerk, who
confused this case with another hav-
ing like number on the court cal
endar. The case of the international
Text Book Company against Pigg has
not yet been argued.

REPUBLICAN FARCE
OF "TARIFF REvISIoN."

Washington, Nov. 9.-The Commit
tee on Ways and Means of the House
of Representatives which tomorrow
holds its first hearing on the propos-
ed revision of the tariff, will direct
its efforts at these hearings towards
gathering information which chiefly
concerns the cost of production in
this country and manufacturing con-
ditionS as compared with foreign
countries. AS PreSident-elect Taft,
Cannon and majority of the Ways
and Means Committee favor the pro-
lection policy in framing the new
tariff, it is hardly likely that tine free
list will be materially increased or
nat any essential reductions will be
made in the tariff on manufactured
goods.

Whiskey and Consumption.

In an address before the Mississip-
pi Valley Medical Association in Louis
vile, KY, on October Is, DR.. T. D.
Crothers, of Hartford, Conn.,, editor
of the Journal of Inebriety, said:
''The so-called moderate use of -spir-
its, which diminishes the vitality and
lowers the resisting power Of nature,
is an active cause of consumption
and typhoid fever and is accountable
for over so per cent of all cases of
pneumonia. In fact, there is no dis
ease known and no surgical operation
performed that is not Influenced and
made worse by spirits.
THE present efforts of laymen and
societies to correct and prevent this
evil as a moral one is a sad reflection
on the stupidity of the medical pro-
fession."

New York, Nov. 9.-PoStmaster Ed
ward M Morgan was shot at 1850
State street and Broadway today by
a man who Immediately killed him.
self Morgan was shot through the
stomach and will probably die.
There were several persons within
a few feet of the two men, but no
word was heard spoken before the
shot was fired and Morgan fell to the
ground The assailant shot himself
three times before he fell to the
ground dead. Morgan was hurried to
his home near by, and after examina-
ton by physicians little hope was
held out for his recovery.
Morgan has been connected with
the postal service of New York more
than a quarter of a century. He be-
gan work as a carrier and worked his
way to the top.
After closer examination by physi-
clans, it was stated that Morgan had
a chance of recovery.
The man who fired the shots has
been identified as Erich B. Mackey,
a stenographer.
Morgan regained consciousness
while the physicians were working
on him, and said he had never seen
his assailant until confronted by him
this morning. He knew no reason for
the attack. Mackey had been employ
ed by Hunt, Hill & Belts, lawyers, for
about four years. He came from Eng
land nine years ago and had been
held in high esteem by his employers.
The single bullet which struck Nor
gan entered the right side of the ab-
domen and passed out the left side
without penetrating the walls of the
stomach. There was no internal bleed
ing, and there is every likelihood the
wounded man will recover.
The only excuse known for the
shooting is that Mackey had complain
ed to the authorities at Washington
that his mail had been tampered with
and that someone turned out an cleo
tric light when he was reading by 1t
in the corridor of the postoffice. Mack
ey had received the reply that there
was no evidence of tampering with
his mail and that the turning out OF
the light was an accident. Mackey's
employers declared they could &C.
count for the tragedy only on the the
ory that Mackey was insane. He had
been pacing the sidewalk two hours
before the shooting. Morgan was &C
companied By his daughter Dorothy
aged Il years. who witnessed the
shooting. She says that when they
approached Mackey asked, "Are you
Postmaster Morgan?" On Morgan's
Affirmative answer. Mackey immed
iaely shot him.
