J. ?. Morgan Shot by Crank
Who Exploded Bomb in Capitol

Glen Cove, N. Y.-Frank Holt, q
former Cornell university instructor,
attempted to assassinate J. p. Morgan
at East Isle, Mr.. Morgan's summer
home here Saturday, and has confessed
that he was the man who set the bomb
which exploded in the United States
capitol at Washington.
Mr.. Morgan, the victim of the bull
let's which Holt fred was said by spe-
cialists at his bedside to be resting
well. No vital organ, the physicians
announced, had been involved in his in
jury.
The physicians, however, declined
to tell the exact location of Mr.. Nor
gan's wounds. Junis Spencer Morgan,
eldest son of the financier, was asked
to tell the exact nature of the wounds.
After confering with the physicians,
young Morgan asserted that the doc
tors had decided to add nothing to
their previous bulletins.
Holt, by his confession and the de-
tailed description of the bomb he used
in the capitol explosion, stamped him
self as an expert on the use of explo-
sives, the police assert. Immediately
after his confession was obtained the
chief of the Washington police,
squad of secret service operators
and New York; City detectives and
Bertillon and finger-print epxerts were
summoned to Glen Cove.
Holt shot Mr.. Moragn twice. Both
shots took effect in the region of the
hip.

Washington, ID. C.-The decennia
report on Wealth, Debt, and Taxation
soon to be issued by Director Sam. l.
Rogers OF the Bureau of the Census
Department OF Commerce, and com
piled under the direction OF Mr.. Starke
M. Grogan, chief statistician in charge
OF the inquiry, will show an increase
in the national wealth of rs per cent
In eight years; In net Federal indebt
edness. of 6 per cent in IL years; in
net state indebtedness, of 44.5 per
cent In IL years; In net county indebt
edness. Of 80 per cent in IL years; in
net municipal indebtedness, of ia per
cent in II years, and in the general
property tax levy. Of SO per cent in 10
years.
In this report are brought together
in two bound volumes all the statistics
pertaining to the general subject of
wealth, debt, and taxation which have
been issued from time to time during
the past year In a series of bulletins.
The bureau estimates the total val
ue of all classes of property in the
United States, exclusive of Alaska and
the insular possessions, in 1912 at
S187,739, 100000, or $1,965 per capita.
This estimate Is presented merely as
the best approximation which can be
made from the data available and as
being fairly comparable with that pub
lished eight years ago. The increase
between 1904 and 1912 was rs per cent
for the total amount and 40 per cent
for the per capita. Real estate and
improvements, including public prop
erty, alone constituted $110,677, ,000, 900
or SO per cent of the total, In 1912. The
next greatest item, $16,149, 900 900,
was contributed by the railroads; and
the third, $14,694, 900, 900, represented
the value of manufactured products,
other than clothing and personal
adornments, furniture, vehicles, and
kindred property.
amounted to $4,S50,461, 900. This
tional debt, S1,02S,564,000, or $10.59
per capita; state debt, $345,942, 900, or
$357 per capita; county debt, $751;
$4,000, or $4.33 per capita; and muni-
cipal debt, $2,SS4,SS3,0 900, or $54.27 per
capita. Thus the average urban citi-
zen's share of the net federal, state,
county and municipal debt combined
was $72.76; and the average rural citi-
zen's share of the net federal, state
and county debt combined was $18.49.
The total federal debt in 1910 was
of which amount S967,-
100000 was represented by bonds,
1876, 5,6S2,000 by Notwithstanding
debt principally United States notes |
or "greenbacks"), and $1,573,157, 900
by certificates and notes issued on
deposits of coin and bullion. Against
this Indebtedness there was in the
treasury $1,SS7,651, 900 in cash avail
able for payment of debt, leaving the
net national indebtedness at s1,02S,-
$4,000, or $10.59 per capita. The in
crease in the net Indebtedness be-
tween 1902 and 1918 amounted to
per cent, but for the per capita figure
here was a decrease of 13 per cent.
The burden due to the national debt
Is thus very light in comparison with
hat imposed by the indebtedness of
other great nations.

covered in orchards in Linn county
few miles east of Corvallis by Profess
sors G. |. Lewis and F. d. Bailey, of

ST. JOHNS-SNOWFLAKE
ROAD TO Be IMPROVED

A movement is under consid-
Grafton by Snowflake people to
improve the St. Johns road be-
tween here and the Apache
county line. A committee COM
posed of Joseph w. Smith. John
A. Freeman and Frank McLaws
went out Wednesday over the
highway to the Apache line,
where they met Gus Becker.
Leroy Gibbons, Harris Greer,
Tobias Eunice anl w. B. Parks,
representative citizens of our
sister county.
After a short conference our
neighbors agreed to put the
road in first-class condition from
st. Johns to the line if we would
do the same on this end of the
highway, which was satisfactory
to the Snowflake committee.
Since the recent flood many
auto parties have been coming
over this way on account of
washed out bridges on the other
route, but it is not an ideal road,
not having been intended nor
put in condition for this kind of
travel.
The board of supervisors will
be asked for liberal appropria-
ton for the proposed work, and
contributions will also be ac-
cepted from any of our citizens
who desire to help out the en-
terprise. The matter will be
taken up at once with the board
SO that work may be started as
soon as possible.
A good road between Snow
flake and St. Johns would be a
great convenience to the travel
ing public and a large per cent
of the Northern Arizona High
way tourists would come this
way, beneftting the town in
more ways than one. Let's all
boost for this enterprise, and as
for the knockerS-we should
have none.

Experiment Farm
Gets Appropriation

Work has been received that
the State Experiment Farm, sit

Snowflake, has received a two
year appropriation from the spe-
cial legislature of Sc, 700.
For a time it looked as if our
farm were going to be taken
from us and planted in Phoenix,
where all good things are wanted,
but it seems the legislators re-
fused to stand the monkey busi-
ness and will let it "repose where
it remains. ;"
We are informed the farm is
promised some new additions in
the way of buildings, agricul-
tural implements, etc., and with
the two-year appropriation now
assured, Director Don c. Smith
will be able to do his work with
better spirit and under more ia
vorable conditions than hereto
fore.

Arizona'S Population

Based on the school census of
1914, Arizona's population is in
excess of 275,OOO according to
figures recently applied.
The census of 1910 gave the
total population of the state at
2O4, 354, and the school census
for the same year returned 49,,
GIL children, making the ratio
of the population to the school
census approximately 5.18. Ta-
king this multiple, and multi
plying So, 845, the school census
for 1914, gives 278,817 as the

timated population of the state,
as based on the United States
census, and given in the new
state blue book, is given as
247, ,267.

the sinking Of an unarmed ship,
carrying passengers to the num-
Der of nearly 1000, many of
them being Americans. German
torpedoes did the atrocious work.
The Cunard liner Lusitania
(British) which sailed out of
New York on May l with 1000
persons aboard now lies at the
bottom of the sea off the Irish
coast, % miles from Queens
town. She was sunk by a Ger
man submarine, which sent two
tOrpedoes crashing into her mid
ship, while the passengers were
at luncheon. Six hundred and
fifty or more were saved and
are now quartered in Queens
towns hotels, residences and
hospitals. many of them in a
serious condition and nearly all
in a dazed condition from the
effects of the calamity.
Before the steamer pulled out
warning was given to the pas
sengers by German officials that
they would pass through dan
gerous ground" but many of
them aboard apparently thought
the warning was d bluff.
Among the noted Americans
reported lost are: Ebert Hub
bard, editor of ''The Phillistine, :"
and author of a number of
books; Justice Miles Forman,
short story writer for a number
of magazines, and also wrote
the Life of Thomas Jefferson" :"
Chas. Klein, great playwright;
Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt, multi
millionaire; Charles Frohman,
well-known theatrical manager.
The Lusitania carried, besides
her passengers, cargo worth
$735, 900 and $50 bags of mail
but no specie aboard. On her
manifest the largest single item
was listed as cartridges and
ammunition, 4,20O cases, $152, :
400." The cartridges and am
munition cases were consigned
to London.
The insurance on the Lusi-
tania is announced as 81, 500, 600
and the vessel was valued at
$40, 900, 200.
