life, according to those who know him
best, has been a remarkably quiet
one; although II would appear that
one who has passed over such a great
number OF years and has lived in we
olden times" that we read about, must
necessarily have bumped against
something during his career that was
worth chronicling.
Morris is a bachelor and confirmed
woman hater, and right here is where
a grain Of romance inserts itself. In
his young days, II is said, many
years before he came TO this country,
he was engaged to a buxom English
girl. The wedding day had been fixed,
but before its arrival the girl slckened
and died. Morris so cherished the
memory OF his beloved that he could
never be brought to look with favor
upon any other woman.
AS the years passed, his antipathy
toward the fair sex increased until
az the present day, with one hundred
and twenty yt-.s to his credit, he
stands forth. an openly avowed WON
an hater. Who knows, but what this
aged man, as he dreams in the sun
light. has visions OF that long age
face and that IL gradually draws near

which perhaps require a pin or two to
hold them in place. but even that habit
cannot account for the large number
of letters that come through the post
office with a pin sticking out OF one
corner.
Il have come TO the conclusion that
many writer's so mail their manuscript
with malicious intent II may not be
us fellows in the postofice against
whom they hold a grudge. but we are
the ones that usually get the benefit
OF those pins."

OLDEST MAN IN U. S:
Thomas Morris of Nebraska Was
Born in 1894.
Has Reached the Remarkable Age OF
One Hundred and Twenty Years
Has Great AntIpsthy for
the Fair Sex.

Chicago.-Probably the Oldest per-
son in the United States today is
Thomas Morris of Custer county, Ne
braska- Charles Mytton, with whom
the aged man lives. declares that Nor
ris will have reached his hundred and
twentieth year the 18th Of next jan
uary.
II appears that some years ago
records OF his birth were destroyed by
fire and 1t is largely through memory
that the present facts are retained.
Morris was born In the year 1894.
at Berrey, Montgomeryshire. North
Wales. and II he lives until the 18th
OF next January he will have reached
the wondeful age of one hundred and
twenty years. II is rot unlikely that
the centenarian can claim the dis
tinction OF being the oldest living man
In the United States. Considering the
great age he has reached, Morris life
has been rather uneventful and he
had always been a hard worker up to
the time old age incapacitated him.
The old man is a shoemaker by
trade, but at one time served as
gamekeeper to large estate In Eng
land. He came to America in 1871
and passed through Chicago the Sun
day after the big fire. Locating at
Blackstone, H., he quietly followed
his trade in that town for ten years.
Later on, he moved to Harrison coun-
ty. Missouri. where he lived for four
years.
He reached Custer county in 1886
and resided there since that time.
Morris can justly be numbered among
the pioneers of the west The above
picture is an excellent likeness of the
aged shoemaker and shows him as he
is at the present time. He is able to
walk about, although considerably
hampered by a club foot, and thor
Dughly enjoys basking in the sun
light.
He talks but little at the present
time, but generally manages to make
himself understood. Tobacco Is his
constant companion and he appears
to derive much nourishments from
large quantities OF coffee, which he
drinks at all hours of the day and
night.
He is unable to read or write, con-
sequently has never been able to take
notes of any interesting experiences
that may have come his way. 1t is
hardly likely, however, that he has
had any glaring adventures, as his

;. j. REDMON, WHO KILLED
MISS VANN, DISMISSED

In the Louisville Police Court, Wed.
nesay morning the case against Mr.,
L. j. Redmon, prominent farmer OF
Bourbon county, charged with man
slaughter, for having run down and
fatally injured Miss Elizabeth Vann,
a stenographer, in Louisville, on the
evening of July 8, was dismissed by
Judge Boldrick.
In dismissing the case the presiding
Judge said:
"Ihe first thing the court always
looks for in cas- of this kind is
whether the accident was due to neg
ligence, and if due to negligence, was
| it criminal negligence. The evidence
shows that the defendant was discon-
certed by his collision few sec
onds before with a motorcycle rider.
According to the evidence of the mo-
torcyclist, his motor was shut off and
he was merely coasting; under these
circumstances motorcycle is hard
to manage. 1t has not been shown
whether the automobile ran into the
motorcycle or the motorcycle ran in
to the automobile. At any rate, Mr..
Redmon was disconnected by the col
lision.
Were | deciding as a juror Wheeler
the family of Miss Vann should receive
damages, l cerainly should give them
substantial damages. AS to the Ques-
ton, however, which we are called up
on to decide, / feel that the defendant
is certainly not guilty of criminal neg
ligence."
James P. Edwards and Judge w. G.
bearing were the attorneys for the de-
tense, while j. Wheeler Campbell and
Camden McAtee represented the pros
-ecution.
One witness testified that Mr.. Red
mon did not blow his horn. In oppO-
sition to this were the statements Of
all the occupants of the automobile,
who saidthat the horn was being
blown constantly at the time of the
accident They were positive that
Miss Vann backed into the machine.
A few seconds before Miss Vann
was struck Mr. Redmon's automobile
had grazed the motorcycle of F. G. Bo-
linger throwing him from his machine.
Mr. Redmon and other witnesses said
that the motorcycle was swerving
badly when it was struck. Bohlinger
himself admitted that he was coast
ing, a condition under which a motor
cycle is difficult to manage. When
the automobile struck the motorcycle,
Mr. Redmon looked to the side of the
car to see if Bohlinger was hurt, and
he was Just looking around when his
machine struck Miss Vann. AS it
could not be proven in court whose
fault the motorcycle accident was, Mr..
Redmon, according to the ruling or the
court, could not be blamed for the
accident Which happened to Miss Vann
when when Redmon turned his head
to see whether Bohlinger was hurt.
depuation of leading citizens of
Paris, including State Senator Claude
NJ. Thomas, was present to attest to
the good character of Mr.. Redmon.

TEST Of TRAFFIC RULES|
Motion to Quash Case Against
Pedestrian Arrested for
Crossing Street.

Another move to determine the valid
ity of the traffic regulations recently
effective was made today, when a mo-
ton to quash an information charging
violation of one Of the rules was
filed in the Police Court.
Attorney James A O'Shea, who, with
Attorney w. Earl Ambrose, represents
Henry Hargrove, the pedestrian arrest
ed last week by Policeman Ward of
the first precinct for walking across
Pennsylvania avenue in the middle Of
the square between 18th and 18th
streets, filed the paper with the court.
The hearing of the case was set for
on account Of the filing of the motion
and the fact that both attorneys for
the accused pedestrian were engaged
in other courts.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Robert
L. Williams. who will prosecute the case
declared today that he would allow the
case to go before the court as test of
the regulations. He expects to be pre-
pared to argue the motion within q few
davs.
The motion filed today is a long one
dealing particularly with the section I'M
der which Hargrove is charged, as well
as with the entire set OF rules. In the
IIlOuOil. Attorneys IOf the accused DeQPS.
trian declare 1t is violation of personal
liberty for the Commissioners to desig-
nate where person shall be obliged to
walk, and say that the rule denies the
use of the streets to pedestrians, while
all others are permitted to use them
The traffic regulations are classed in
the motion as arbitrary and as class
legislation.
Dealing with the regulations as a
whole, the motion declares the law upon
which the information is founded is UNI
constitutional. The regulations are term
ed unreasonable in the motion, which
alleges the Commissioners were not au-
thorized to make the regulations because
Congress has specifically enacted on the
subject, it being stated that Congress
provided certain regulations for the
citys traffic in 1906. The allegation is
made in the paper filed that the act of
the Commissioners in making the set
of rules in question is illegal, void and
of no effect.
