MAN FIRES Three BULLETS At
PHILADELPHIA SAFETY,
DIRECTOR.
is BELIEVED TO BE INSANE
Stranger Calls at Henry cIay's Office
and Begins Shooting Without Warm
ing-Declares He Is Prosecuted by
Police.

Philadelphia, Nov. 5.-An attempt
was made to assassinate Henry Clay,
director of the department of public
safety. Mr.. Clay, who was not in
jured, owes his life to his quickness
in graphing with his assailant, who
is believed to be insane.
The man, who gave his name as
Harry Clark, and who appeared to be
about sixty-five years old, called at
Mr.. Clay's Office and demanded to see
him. AS soon as he was admitted to
the private Office he began to abuse
Mr.. Clay, declaring he had been perse-
cuted by the police and insisting on
a radical reorganization of the force.
SHOOTS at Official.
Mr. Clay tried to quiet the man, and
when his attempt failed he started to
put him out of the Office. In an in
slant Clark drew revolver and shot
three times at Mr.. Clay, two of the
bullets going into the wall and one
shattering a window. Mr.. Clay had
caught the barrel of the revolver and
this probably saved his life.
Several employees of the department
rushed into the room and the man
was disarmed and locked up.
Man Is Probably Insane.
When examined following his at
tempt to assassinate the director
Clark gave as his reason for the act
the fact that no governor could be
elected in this state because the laws
are not obeyed properly.
The detectives did their utmost to
attempt to shake the composure of
the man, thinking his demeanor was
but a ruse, but finally became con-
WINGED that he was crazy.

Speech.-Charges Of Retrogres-

tion Alleged.

New Haven, Conn. - Judge Simeon
E. Baldww, Democratic nominee for
governor, announces that he will bring
suit against former President ROose-
welt on account of certain statements
made by Mr.. Roosevelt in speech in
New Hampshire relative to Judge
Baldwin's attitude on labor legislation.
Mr.. Baldwin said he had asked Col
cnel Roosevelt to retract the statement
and that the latter had failed to do
so.
The statement referred to was made
in a speech at Concord, N. H., by Mr..
Roosevelt, and was to the effect that
the position taken by Judge Baldwin
in the employers liability question
was retrogressive.
Il have asked Mr.. Roosevelt to re-
tract a statement which he made in a
speech in New Hampshire as to my
holding certain views on point Of
law" Mr.. Baldwin said. HE denies
he made the statement.

him, but intend, when 1 have leisure

count of his making the statement,
which I have no doubt was, in fact,
correctly reported.
Il should have been better pleased
if he had made frank retraction. AS
he has refused to do this, regard it
as my duty to bring him to justice"
In a speech in Concord, N. H., on
Oct. %, former President Roosevelt, in
discussing the workmen's compensa-
ton measures, was reported as say
ing:
1.-THE Democratic party of Connect
cut has nominated for governor man
who while judge occupied the most
retrogressive position possible on this
question of workmen's compensation
a man who took the view that it was
competent for workmen, when driven
to accept any employment, to bind
himself not to be compensated for
the loss of life and limb in that occu-
patton"
When this statement was called to
Judge Baldwin's attention he denied
that he had ever occupied such posi-
ton and sent a letter to Colonel
Roosevelt making such denial and ask
ing for a retraction Of the statement

WOMAN REFUSES TO ELoPE.
Merrill, Wis. Is Scene Of Tragedy
Portland Man Dead.

Merrill. - Travelling two thousand
miles from Portland, Ore, to kill the
woman he loved, but who refused to

him, Hubbard Vacherau, IS years old
shot and probably fatally wounded her
and then killed himself after firing
three shots at policeman. His vic

of Merrill. She is the wife of con-
ductor on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul road. She is said to be dying
in the Ravn hospital here with bull
let in her brain and wound in the
hand.
Vacherau arrived here Friday night
and spent two days endeavoring to
persuade Mrs. Quick to leave her hus-
band for him, as she had done before.
This time, however, she refused to
accompany him and told him that she
wished their friendship to end
Mrs. Quick summoned Policeman
Kerslake, fearing Vacherau would
harm her. The three were walking
toward the station.
vacherau Has Revolver.
Vacherau started forward few
steps, then turned suddenly with re-
volver in his hand. He fired twice at
the woman at such close range that
the flash of the pistol set fire to her
hat. One bullet pierced her skull and
the other struck her in the hand as
she raised her arms to defend herself.
AS she sank to the sidewalk Kers-
lake sprang at Vacherau. Vacherau
began running but wheeled and fired
three times at the policeman, none of
his bullets taking effect. Kerslake re.
turned the fire.
Residents who had been attracted by
the shooting Joined in the chase OF
Vacherau when he, seeing that capture
was Inevitable, turned his revolver on
himself and sent his last bullet
through his brain. He died instantly.
