CHIEF POLICE.
Vas an Escaped le-Senlenced
Murderer Arrested Yesterday

Danville, Va, March edgar
Stripping, who for five years has been
chief OF police Of Danville, under the
name Of R. Z. Morris, was arrested
here Thursday Afternoon as an es-
capped murderer from the Atlanta, Ca,
prison. In 1897 he was tried for MUIR
der, convicted and sentenced to life
Imprisonment. He escaped pending a
motion for a new trial.
Stripping held a cool nerve and
promptly confessed when the requisi-
ton papers were read to him. He
was taken back Thursday. Since the
escape Stripping has married and has
a wife now and ten children.
The return journey to Atlanta In
custody of two officers was begun at
midnight. The scene as Morris bid
farewell to his wife and children and
hundreds Of friends was pathetic, even
more than one could imagine without
witnessing the incident. II was a
scene such as few people are ever
called upon to witness, and Morris
passed through 1t as he has the Is
years since he renounced the name
Stripling-fearIessly and without
emotion. Previously, at his home,
when he was allowed to spend two
hours with his family. he wept CO.
piously. 1t was an unpleasant duty
was the only statement OF officers
who formed the guard for this family
gathering of grief would make.
Morris has made full statement
and 1t win be made public later.
STRIPPING came here. from what
could be learned last night, about 10
years ago. He worked for the South
ern railway as night Waterman for a
time. He made friends and held
them and his private life was with
out a blemish. apparently.
Five years ago the city went dry,
Morris had been serving as patrol
man. The eyes OF the law and order
league Immediately fell upon him and
with this support he was made chief
His Official conduct was such that be
has twice since been reelected.
The details Of the charges against
him at Atlanta are not fully known
here yet.

SENATORS HAVE
4 W0RDY WAR.
A Near Fight Looned Up In Senate
Thursday Afternoon

Raleigh, March 6.-Thursday al
ternoon the senate took q sensational
turn when the serenity was some
what rufiled by a wordy war between
Senators Kitchin and Bassett, whose
near-fight furnished the most excite
ment of any pulled OF on the floor
OF the upper house Of this general
assembly. 1t all came about over q
purely local matter relating to the
Office of cotton weigher in the town
of whitaker's. and an expressed de-
sire of Senator Kitchin to have the
bill referred to the committee on
propositions and grievances. 1t had
been referred to the committee on
revisal, OF which Senator Bassett Is
chairman, and he objected to its 60
ing to the committee on propositions
and grievances. but was willing that
it should be referred to the Judiciary
committee. A heated dispute ensued,
the controversy becoming so near "a
blows that both senators were re-
quired by the president to take their
seats for using supplementary re-
marks. Several senator's had arisen
to the point Of order that the near
belligerent senators were out Of
order. AS the dispute progressed the
senator from Halifax made the re-
mark that he did not wish to have
trouble in the senate chamber, but
would be glad TO meet the senator
from Edgecombe on the outside to
settle it. To this remark the senator
from Edgecombe replied that he
would gladly respond to the call at
any time. The impending fight soon
blew over, however. and after the dill
was finally referred to the committee
on judiciary and each Of the contend
ing solons had made explanatory
statements the quiet dignity Of the
law making body was promptly re-
stored, the sonorous voice of Read
ing Clerk Mark Squires resuming the
