the board of governors of the City
club, moved that the club show it's ap-
probation for the earnest work Mr..

SHOT FIRED AT WIFE
OF WEALTHY BANKER
Guest at Van Nuys Reports Unidentl-

tempted to XIII
Her

An attempt was made on the life OF
Mrs. Louis ]. Salomon, wife of Louis
]. Salomon, a wealthy New York
banker, while she was making the trip
from the east to California a few days
ago, and had it not been for the poor
aim of her assailant she would prob
ably have been killed or seriously
wounded. Mrs. Salomon gave an ae-
count of her adventure at the Van
Nuys hotel yesterday.
The attempt was made while Mr.
and Mrs. Salomon were passing
through Gallup, N. M. Mrs. Salomon
was reclining on a pillow in their
apartment on the train, when a man
standing a few feet away from the
track noticed her. AS the train started
he drew a revolver from his pocket
and, aiming at the woman, fired. The
shot went wild, burying itself in the
woodwork above the window. AS soon
as he realized what had happened Mr..
Salomon summoned the conductor, and
at the next stop a description or the
man was wired back to Gallup, with
instructions to arrest him. So far,
however, nothing has been heard OF
the strange desperate.
Mr.. Salomon was formerly connect
ed with the banking house of Speyer
&, Co., and is cousin of William
SaIomon, the New York banker. The
Salomons are here for a few months
vacation, and are guests at the Van
Nuys.

been able to induce between twenty and
twenty-five thousand men to sign the
Murphy pledge Many of the signers
are men from the oil fields and Ia

finement and culture who have fallen
from positions of responsibility nave
been reached.
Mr.. Murphy's son Thomas has just
returned from successful tour or

ance. and he is the third generation in
the Murphy family in temperance re-
form.
The directors have selected Thomas
Murphy to raise the $4,000. He starts

OLDEST AND YOUNGEST
ELK LIVES IN IOWA
JOSEPH TUFFREE, MARSHALL.
TOWN STANDS UNIQUE
Initiated Into 3. P. o. e. Feb. 10, the
Centennial Anniversary of His
Birth-Has Son Living In
Los Angeles

Hundreds of former Iowans living in
Los Angeles are acquainted with Jo-
seph Tuffree, who in years is the oldest
member of the Order of Elks, and in
membership the youngest by not more
than eight days. One of Mr.. Tuffree's
sons lives in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Tuffree of Marshaltown, Iowa,
accepted the obligations of the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks Feb
ruary 10, 1910, his one hundredth birth
day. The occasion also was the first
meeting of Marshaltown lodge, No.
312, B. P. o. E.. in their new $4,000
home.
The distinction of being the oldest
Elk in Iowa has heretofore been claim
ed by DR.. H. c. McClurg of Davenport,
who recently passed his eightieth birth
day, but a careful investigation by the
Marshaltown lodge has failed to reveal
| anyone in the order to be even near
competitor to Mr.. Tuffree.
Mr.. Tuffree was one of the early busi-
ness men of Pittsburg, where for ten
years he was engaged in the grocery
business He sold out in 1876 and
moved west to Jacksonville, where he
opened tavern. In 1856 he moved to
Edenville, now Rhodes, and bought a
farm, which he operated until 1879,
when he sold out and engaged in the
real estate business In Marshalltown,
an occupation which he still pursues
with vigor and success.
Remarkably Well Preserved
Mr. Tuffree is remarkably well pre-
served, his hearing is acute and his
memory clear, not only on events that
happened many years ago, but on oc-
currences In recent years. His last
sickness was more than seventy-three
years ago when he settled in Pitts
burg in 1886, and consisted of acute
stomach trouble, due to malarial con-
ditions DR.. Speer then one of the
prominent physicians of Pittsburg,
treated him, and since then he never
has seen a day when he could not put
his feet under the table at meal time.
Mr.. Tuffree began using tobacco
when IL years old and has used 1t FOR
eighty-three years, both for smoking
and chewing. but seven years ago ne
"swore off" without inconvenience, ana
has used none since.
He was born In Newcastle county
Delaware February 10, 1910, and pass
ed his boyhood days and early man
hood in his native state and Maryland
At Elkton, Md, August 4, 1885, he was
married to Miss Mary Woolston, who
died in Marshalltown in 1894.
In the days when Mr.. Tuffree went
to Pittsburg there was not railroad
into the city. There was short line
of railroad from Philadelphia to Co
Iumbia. on the Susquehanna river, and
this route was taken by Mr.. and Mrs
Tuffree From Columbia they entered
Pittsburg through a canal that con-
nected the two cities
Mr.. Tuffree has seven living children,
the only death, in his family In addi-
tion to Mrs Tuffree, having been
daughter, Mrs. Julian H. Smith. who
passed away last May. The living
children are Edmund Tuffree Francis
Tuffree Joseph Tuffree, Elmer A. Tuf-
free, Mrs. Belle Read, Mrs. o. j. Wor-
lev and Miss Jennie Tuffree. All of the
children reside in Marshalltown, with
the exception of the son, Joseph, 1r"
who lives in Los Angeles.
