r.rr.r inmate Of an Asylum Attacks
well.known Evangelist With
Buggy Whip at Spring.
field, Illinois.
NEARLY CREATED PANIC
A,.,uIt Took Place at Opening Of the
Revival at the State Capitol in
the Presence Of 5000
People.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Feb. 27.-Rev.
W. A. Sunday, better known as "Billy"
Sunday, the former baseball player,
now an evangelist, was horsewhipped
last night By man at the Sunday
tabernacle, where, in the presence of
5000 persons, he was conducting the
opening meeting OF revival.
The evangelist had just made his
opening remarks, and was leaning
against the pulpit on an elevated plat
form, while hymn was being sung by
his choir leaders, when man. who
said his name was Sherman Potts,
sprang forward witt buggy whip
and struck Sunday several terrific
blows.
Sunday leaped from the platform
and dashed at his assailant. whom he
knocked down in the center aisle.
The audience vas on the verge of a
panic, with women weeping and chill
dren screaming, while Potts and Sun
day rolled and tumbled In the aisle.
The choir and audience. however,
continued to sing, an quiet was soon
restored.
Several men seized Potts and held
him until policeman came and took
him to jail. The pr soner said his
home was near Lexington, Ill. Ac-
cording to his statements at the jail
he was once declared insane and COM
mitted to the Jacksonville asylum,
whence, after brief confinement, he
was released as cured. He said he
came to Springfield from Decatur TO-
day to horsewhip Sunday, that he had
purchased the whip in Springfield and
went to the tabernacle early.
He made the attack, he said, in de-
iense of the virtue of woman, which
he declared had been criticised by the
evangelist. The police say Potts is
q religious fanatic
Potts is insane.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-Today
steps will be taken to re-commit Sher
man Potts, who attacked Billy Sunday
last night, to the insane asylum al
Jacksonville. 1t is now recognized
tnat no motive was behind Potts at
tack except his disordered imagina
ton and deranged mind. Potts was
known for some time as insane. His
home is at Lovington. and he has beer
at the Jacksonville asylum for some
time. Most of the time he is allowed
his freedom because his insanity has
not assumed violent form. On his
last release when the agitation con
cerning the state hospitals was at it,
height, Potts tried to make speeche:
declaring they tried to kill him.
Sunday was suffering pain TO-DAY
from a sprained ankle caused wher
he jumped from the platform, ant
closed in on his assailant.

Present Business Depression undoubt.
edIy Due to Some Extent to
Coming Revision Of the
Tariff.
WANTS IT OVER WITH
Should Not be Delay 4 sut Execution
Should be Ss,Il Diligence
Tai c-eaves For
ssh'nsson.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-President-
elect Taft made vigorous protest last
night against what he said was abso-
lutte misrepresentation in certain New
YORK afternoon papers as to what he
mad said during the day in answering
questions regarding tariff revision.
He had stated, he said, that the
present business depression was un-
doubtedly due in large measure to
the fact that the tariff is to be revis-
ed at the extra session of congress to
meet March 15; that it was o. the
highest Importance this work of re-
vision should not be delayed, but ex-
ecuted with all diligence.
Taft also said he favored the idea
of permanent tariff commission, the
plan for which should be worked out
with deliberation, the duties of such
commission :, be to make a careful
study of the operation of the proposed
new tariff law, to the end that sug.
gestions might be made in the future
which would tend to place the whole
question of tn tariff on more GER
tain and scicatific basis.
Upon this statement Taft was made
to say the present tariff schedules
were responsible for the present bnsi-
ness depression and that when they
were revised their own parents would
net know them, all Of which was am
plified at length and made. positive by
appearing to be vigorous and en-
! thusiastic statement.
! Taft was particularly perturbed
over what he called this misrepresent-
alton, particularly in view of the
weight which is now given his words
! because of his official position. He
had, he declared, changed his position
/ in no way and held the same views he
had publicly announced during and
| since the campaign.

DDS were rudimentary then, but this fan,
with much coaching, he has come to be a
great tackle and he will be a hard PROPOSE
ton for the C~ornhuskers.
AS a fullbaok Hazard Is better than any
man on the Nebraska eleven. He is the
best man In the Hawkeyes' backfieid. He
is short n stout and hits the line hard,
which means he will do some charging
against the Cornhusker defense next Sat
urday.
From reports sent out at Iowa City It
has been CLEANED that Coach Griffith will
play en- open game against king" Coles
men. The Hawkeyes are now being drilled
in the use Of the forward pass and other
trick plays. 1t is rumored that the onside
kick is coming in for much attention In
the Iowa camp.
king" Cole has been teaching his men
several trick plays during the last week,
but 1t is not his intention to pse all these
against Iowa. He looks upon the Hawk
eyes as a great foe, but he does not believe
his men will be called upon to disclose all
their secrets. There are some he has in
vented for the Kansas game and it is doubt
full whether these would be used even to
stave off defeat at the hands Of the Hawk
eyes.

which is good for nothing but racing.
The clubs that have sent challenges on
behalf of Sir Thomas have asked for a
race under the present rules of the New
York Yacht club, and hat club has practi-
cally said that the rules are not good
for the sport and have declined to ac-
cept the challenge,
Not only has the New York Yacht club
adopted the present rule, but ali the clubs
on the Atlantic coast, on the lakes, on
the Gulf and the far West now have the
same rule, which is really a national one,
and yet the New York Yacht club has
declined to test the rule In an interna-
tional race.
When Sir Thomas presents his challenge,
a meeting of the club will be called, and
at that meeting 1t is possible that a
committee will be appointed with power
either to accept or decline the challenge.
1t is possible that there will be a fight
in the club. and should the supporters Of
Sir Thomas be in the majority the COM
mittee will be instructed to accept.
In the event of the challenge being ac-
cepted and a race arranged for next
season defenders will have to be built.
A ninth foot schooner is now being built
at Herreshoff's for Alexander s.. Cochrane,
of the Avenger. Work has just
been started on that yacht and it would
not require much alteration of the plans
to make her a ninety foot sloop and eligible
to defend the cup. There is no doubt
tina a syndicate will be formed to build
a defender, and 1t is possible that F.
Smith and the Hanan brothers might have
boats. Cup yachts under the present rules
will not cost nearly as much as under the
old rule, and when their racing for the
big trophy is over they viii still be good
for other racing and cruising. The three
shamrocks and two Valkyries are broken
up and OF the American boats the Defen-
der N Constitution are broken up. The
Columbia and Reliance are the only two
left n they are of no use.

OMAHA, Ncb., Sept IS, 19O9.-For four
or five years 1 had been bothered with
kidney, liver and stomach trouble. I had
taken various medicines and treatments
for these conditions. but none Of them gave
me any permanent relief. I continued to
grow worse. and last February there came
on a kind of dropsical condition in my
feet and legs. My feet would burn until
1 would be compelled to put them out
from under the cover at night. They be-
zane inflamed and deep cracks came be-
tween my toes and in the bottom Of my
feat. They became so bad I could scarcely
walh and grew worse constantly under
the physicians care, whom l had at that
time employed, and the condition became
so bad that we greatly feared blood poison
ing.
then went to the United Doctors and
began to improve at once. My improve
ment has been gradual and permanent
all Of that time, and 1 wish to say to
the public for the sake of any one who
may be suffering as l was. that 1 am per-
fectly we'll in every respect though I am
sixty-six years Of age, / am feeling better
than / have in ten years. I feel that I
nave received a permanent cure. Yours
