NEW YORK, July 81. P.
Morgan. head of the big banking
house OF his name, and financial
agent in this country of the Brit
ish government. was shot twice
at his country home near Glen
Cove, L. L.. by a man who en-
tered the Morgan home shortly
after 9 o'clock today.
1t was said that Mr. Morgan
was not seriously wounded. One
of the shots, it was reported, took
effect in his hip, the other in his
breast, tearing the flesh and pass
ing out through his arm. The as
sailant was overpowered by serv-
ants, placed in the Morgan auto
mobile and rushed to Glen Cove.
There he refused to say who he
was or where he came from, but
asserted that he was "a Christian
gentleman" and had felt it his
duty to persuade Mr.. Morgan to
end the war.
The effect on the stock market was
hardly noticeable. r
Speaks Lightly Of Injuries.
Mr.. Morgan apparently did not con-
slider himself seriously wounded. When
It was reported that he was shot the
Morgan house was the target OF
voIiey Of telephone inquiries from New
York. The first of these calls was
answered by Mr.. Morgan himself. who
calmly told of the shooting. and added
that he did not think it amounted to
very much.
his name was r. Holt, and said that
he was an instructor in German at
Cornell University.
The Cornell University faculty list
contains the name of Frank Holt.
who has been instructor in Ger
man At the university since 1912 He
holds the degree of bachelor of arts.
There 10 nothing in the list to indicate
where he received his degree.
Claimed to Be Old Friend.
Holt went to Glen Cove this morn
ing on the $3.50 train, hired an automo-
bile and went to the Morgan home on
Matinicock Point. He rang the bell
and when the butler answered called
for Mr.. Morgan. He said that he was
an old friend of Mr.. Morgan. but was
refused admission to the house
. The man then pressed a pistol against
the stomach of the butler who
screamed. and pushed his way past the
servant into the hall Mr.. Morgan was
approaching the front door through
the hall at the time. He asked what
the trouble was. The answer was a
shot. which took effect in his hip.
Mr.. Morgan staggered and fell into a
chair. The butler, once the assailant's 8
back was turned. picked up a brass
coalhod from the fireplace and brought
II down on the assailant's head, but too
late to prevent second shot.
Tho butler fell on the man. wrested
the weapon away and overpowered him
Servants came running in answer to
his call and the sheriffs office and a
physician were telephoned. The man
was placed under arrest and taken TO
Glen Cove.
Another Version Of Entrance.
Another version of the entrance of
the intruder into the Morgan house is
to the effect that he had no trouble in
gsininE admission. He went to the
ing that he was an old friend. Word
was taken to Mr.. Morgan that some
one wanted to see him.
The hnancier came out of his break
fast room into the main hall. Imme-

Justice Mccoy Sustams Gov
ernment's Contention in
Ardmore Hotel Case.
GRANTS ITS PLEA AGAINST
OWNERS AND OCCUPANTS
Finds It Has the Right to Abate a
Nuisance When Building Is De-
clared Nuisance" by the Law.

The constitutionality of the Kenyon
act, commonly known as the red light
law" was sustained today in an opinion
rendered by Justice Mccoy of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. The court held
that the United States is entitled to an
Injunction against the owners and oc-
cupants of the Hotel Ardmore. at 51S
18th street northwest, for permitting
immortality on the premises. -
The provision of the act enforcing a
penalty of closing the building or the
portion thereof occupied by an Offend
ing tenant. Justice MCCOY declares
does not deprive the owner OF the prop
erty of due process of law as guaran-
teed by the Constitution.
The use of a building for immoral
purposes is declared nuisance by
the law and the court finds that as the
government has the right to abate a
nuisance and the building being or II
self harmless, Congress provided the
only effective abatement by authoriz-
ing the closing of the premises.
Ignorance of the Owner.
On the question Of ignorance of the
owner as to the use to which his ten
ant is putting his. property. Justice
Mccoy says: "If closing tAe building
is a step reasonably necessary for the
purpose of abatement. ignorance of the
owner of the existence of the nuisance
does not afford a reason for holdihg g
that such means cannot be adopted.
IF the abatement provisions Of the
act are to be held unconstitutional, 1t
must be for the reason that, the re-
ouirement that the building be closed
for one year for all purposes unless a
bond for it's value be given Is SO far
beyond what is necessary to the ac-
complishment of the legitimate pur-
poses of the act as to lead to an arbi-
trary- spoliation of property which JUS
tice Field, in Barber VS.. Connolly, says
Is forbidden by the Constitution.
Limits of Police Power.
"Is the requirement. that the building
be closed for a year an arbitrary pro-
vision invalidating the act? The courts
have never by definition pointed out the
limits of the police power because of
the extreme difficulty. If not the i'm
possibility, Of exact definition.

may or may not be done constitution
ally must be determined, like most

Fraser was the first to break the

But the little man didn't answer. A

BRITISH ATTITUDE NOT
 UNFRIENDLY TOWARD NOTE.
Asserts Ambassador Walter Hines
 Page in a Long Report.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Ambassador Walter Hines Page, in g. long report from London, received today. follow ing his conference with high officials there, described the general attitude of the British government and the people toward the American note of protest concerning shipping, as entirely friend ly. He saiG that a reply had been promised within q very few days.
 The ambassador detailed the British press criticism, whose tone he re- garded as on the whole reasonable and anicable. Tn some quarters, not among officials, he found q disposition to search for q motive behind the American note, some EnSiishmen sug- gest that the Washington administra,- ton had been compelled to yield to pressure from members of congress representing constituencies vitally af~ fected by the interruptions in trade. This report of English public opinion seemed to think that the American note was intended for some extent for home consumption.
 High officials Of the Washington government pointed out tonight that there was not the siighttes founda- ion for such a. suggestion, as the note was not originally intended for the press.
