COL. w. R. MORRISON DIES.
Was National Figure in Democratic
Party-Boomed for President.

Colonel William r. Morrison is dead
at Waterloo, Ill. The demise of the
former politician and Interstate Com
merce Commissioner had been expect
ed for some days. Colonel Morrison
was stricken more than a week before
and his advanced age and long fail
i ing health held out scant hope for re-
covery. He was eighty-four years old.
Colonel Morrison became prominent
in 1884 as the leading Democratic
authority on the tariff. 1t was then
that he earned the name of Horizon
tai Bill because he proposed to re-
duce the tariff in that year by fiat
cut all along the line. He did secure
tariff reduction, but failed to get what
he considered the cut required by the
people.
He was a national figure in the
Democratic party from the opening
months of the Civil War, when he was
elected to Congress, until 1907, the
year of his retirement as head of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Frequently during his career he was
doomed for the Democratic nomination
for President
He served in the war against Mex
| leo as a private. In the Civil War
he organized the Forty-ninth Illinois
Volunteers, and it was while in COM
mand of this regiment that he was
elected to Congress.
Colonel Morrison served in Congress
from 1861 to 1865 and again from 1873
to 1887. From 1878 to 1875 he was
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, to which position he again at

TORTURE BANKERS WIFE.
Masked Men Suspend Woman from
Rafter in Woodshed.


Posses are hunting the assailants of
Mrs. w. B. Scott, wife of a banker,
OF Lansing, Mich, found in the wood
shed of her home Sunday, gagged and
suspended by the wrists from a rafter
so her toes just touched the floor. The
woman had been attacked by two
masked men and had been ted up for
four hours before her husband and
a neighbor found her. She was utterly
exhausted when cut down and has
suffered severely from the shock.
According to the story told the
police, Mrs. Scott, hearing a noise,
entered the woodshed in her night
clothes just after the men had opened
the door and stepped into the shadows.
They seized her and threw her to the
floor. After procuring a clothes line
from the yard they bound and gagged
her and hung her to the rafter They
then entered the house and searched
for money, but found none. Mrs.
Scott says the men were masked, but
one of them resembled a man who
called at her house Friday and rep
resented himself to be a detective.

pretext that he was looking for a
house to buy he was shown through

TATT'S LIFE IN DANGER9
Heavily Armed Man Is Arrested by
Police in Portland, Ore.

The assassination of President Taft,
it is declared, was averted Saturday
afternoon by the quick action of the
police in Portland, Ore, when a heav-
lily armed man, who had been endeav-
oring to gain a place of vantage near
the President, was taken into custody.
The suspect, who says his name is Ar
thur G.. Wright, man of means of
Lowell Mass, is being held on tenn
porary charge of carrying a concealed
pistol, but the authorities will investi-
gate his case thoroughly before bond
is fixed. The attempt took place in
front of the Portland Hotel, just as
the President was preparing to enter
his automobile to participate in the
great military parade planned in his
honor.
Captain Bailey of the Portland po-
lice and two local detectives were on
duty near the hotel entrance. All
three men were in plain clothes. Just
as the President was emerging from
the entrance to the hotel Wright was
noticed. Apparently he was a simple
camera fiend He had kodak in his
hands and was struggling through the
crowd in a seeming effort to get near
the President to secure a snap shot.
So eager was he, so repeated were his
attempts and so excited was his de-
meanor that the officers determined to
investigate his conduct.
He was seized from behind by one
of the detectives, and Immediately
there was a sharp struggle. The man
made frantic efforts to free himself,
and the other officers had to come to
the assistance of their comrade to pre-
vent the man escaping into the crowd.
On being searched a heavy caliber six
shot revolver was found concealed in
a holster under his coat, while in his
pockets there was a large amount OF
loose ammunition. On the inside OF
the coat was found a police badge
marked Lowell" Despite the efforts
of the police to hustle the man to the
nearest station as quietly as possible
the crowd swarned about them, and a
number of threats were made as to the
safety of the prisoner.
