RELIGIOUS MANIA
LEADS TO CRIME
SON OF HENRY WATTERSON
SHOOTS SALOON KEEPER
WHILE HYSTERlcAL.

New York, July 5.-Conflicting re-
ports as to the identity of the man who
Friday at Saugerties, N. Y, while ap.
parently demented shot and slightly
wounded Michael Martin, saloon pro-
prietor. were cleared up yesterday
when it was learned that Martins as
sailant was Ewing Watterson, eldest
son of Col. Henry Watterson of Louis

From him the circumstances of the
case were learned
Ewing Watterson, his father says,
has for some years been the victim of
a form of religious mania which has
failed completely to yield to any treat
ment In an effort to better his sons
condition. Col. Watterson placed him
for some time on ranch in the west,
and when this environment failed to
result in Improvement in his condi-
ton bought him farm in the Hudson
river hills, near Saugerties, where it
was hoped the air and quiet surround
ings would benefit him.

INSURGENTS VISIT
At SYCAMORE HILL
TALKED POLITICS AND CAME
AWAY PLEASED WITH
INTERVIEW.
BRISTOW, MURDOCH AND MAI
SON OF KANSAS APPROVED
BY COLONEL.

Oyster Bay, July 3.-Three Kansas
insurgents of deepest dye talked with
Roosevelt three hours at Sycamore
Hill yesterday and went away salts
fed When they were gone Roosevelt
called them fine fellows" and said
they discussed the work of the re-
cent session of congress" All agreed
that the Ballinger-Pinchot contro-
versy was not broached Madison is
member of the Investigating COM
mittee. };>t--~ ,r~
The visitors were Senator j. L.
Bristow and Representatives Victor
Murdoch and E. H. Madison, all of
whom fought hard for the Roosevelt
policies when he was president. That
he appreciated their services he
made known with emphasis yester,
day; the insurgents were more en-
phatic in their praise of Mr.. Roose-
welt, who plunged into an explana-
ton of the conference at once. When
approached me said:
Those three Kansans are among
my most loyal supporters and were
during the seven years was in the
white house. These finc fellows and
/ have been discussing the recent
session of congress. / owe an espe-
cial debt of gratitude to Messrs. Mad
ison and Murdoch for the stand they
took at the time when Mr.. Tawney
offered a resolution providing that
none of the appropriations for the Sc
cret service might be used in investi-
eating the conduct of members of the
senate and house. At that time also,
a resolution of censure, aimed at
myself, was offered in congress; and
Madison and Murdoch fought it to the.
end. Madison and Murdoch were
right in that fight, the provisions for
the secret service should never have
been stricken out"
Here the colonel paused a moment.
then like shot he said:
Would you like to know the secret

gents were received here today, and
that you came away with the air of

agement for your attitude on pubic
questions.
Mr.. Murdoch listened with his
mouth tight shut, but he smiled at the
corners of his eyes and he nodded as
he listened.

teered. I'm red headed. l don't go

"Your statement that Mr.. Roosevelt

road bill seems especially significant"

gents shaped the bill in all important

Mr.. Murdoch then dictated the fol.
owing:
'All three of us were anxious to
see Mr.. Roosevelt, because we don't
believe he had three stauncher sup
porters of his policies throughout his
term of service. and we believe he
knows this better than anyone else.
"Mr Bristow was his right hand
man in uncovering and punisning
postal frauds, and Madison and
were among the thirty-five who stood
up for him when the fight was made
to deprive him of the use of the Sc
eret service men in uncovering just
such misdeeds as the postal frauds.
Naturally We feel much pleased to
find him absolutely unchanged, (muea

Nothing more pleased us than his
at once congratulating us and those
associated with us in having succeed
ed in putting into the railroad bill
provisions vitally necessary in order
that it should represent progress
along lines of proper control of inter-
state commentaries"
All seemed immensely pleased. Mr..
Bristow said:
Il can say one thing to you. Mr..
Roosevelt is a bigger and broader
man today than before he went away.
That man is marvel. What ne says
tingles. When he speaks he speaks
the truth and the naked truth wheth-
er the truth naked is beautiful or
ugly. 1t comes out like shot, and
like shot it goes right to the mark.
| never saw him show such incisive-
ness. HIS jaw has a new angle of det
termination. He seems to me not
only broader but more alert"
Mr.. Murdoch then turned on re-
porter, saying:
As an old newspaper man myself,
let me turn the tables on you. Let
me interview my interviewer. How
does this visit, the mere fact of it, I'm

Bates COutny Map.

Bates county, we are proud to say,
is one of the best in Missouri and in
this connection we are glad to know
that an effort is now being made to
publish a new and very complete
atlas of the same. This will be drawn
from the land records and personal
bywork on the groundand so become
of permanent value. Such a work at
this time is badly needed, if we take
into account the great change in land
ownership during the last dozen
years, and judging from new map
of the city lately shown us and some
new township plates, it cannot but be
of immense value to any land owner,
permanent resident or business man
of the county. 22-lt
