Assassination This Morning
is NOT SERIOUSLY HURT

Glen Cove. l.. l., July 3.-John
Pierpont Morgan was shot in the
groin and painfully but not seriously
hurt this morning at his summer
home at East Island.
The man who did the shooting was
arrested and appears to be demented

has handled war contracts in this
country for the allies, is responsible
for the continuation of the war.
He refused to give his name, but
is said TO have German accent.
He had two reyolvers, stick of dy-
Mantle and bottle of nitro-glycer-

He rang the bell at the Morgan
home and forced his way past the
butler who opened the door He
fired two shots at Mir Morgan, but
only one took effect.

clean white nightshirt, between
cool, white sheets and imagined that
he had died and gone to heaven.
Release had come too late for
many of the Andersonvile survivors
and the death rate at the Jacksonville
hospital was appalling. The heat, to
which the northerners were unaccus-
toned, added to their sufferings and
as soon as arrangements could be
made they were placed on steamers
and conveyed to government hospi

in the hospital at Jacksonville and
Annapolis nearly two months before
the acquired sufficient strength to I'M
dertake the journey to Vermont.
When Camp and Montgomery
made their break for liberty near
Bush Bridge, Va, they completely
erased themselves from the official
records of the federal army. Their
own comrades believed that they had
been killed by the guards. How the
news of their escape reached their
families in Vermont constitutes one
OF the many strange coincidents in
the personal histories of men who
went through the civil war. Capt.
Simmons, who commanded the patrol
which recaptured the two escaped
prisoners, recovered from his wound
and reioined his regiment. Later in
the war he. too, became prisoner
and was for time under guard of a
squad commanded by Corporal
Charles Camp, Henry's older brother
Under the circumstances it was hut
natural that in an interchange of ex-
periences the federal corporal should
learn that his brother was yet alive
unless he had died in prison.
DIR. Enos Morgan of Pownal, who
was the examining surgeon who
passed Camp into the service. and
Joseph II. Loring who conducted a
trucking busines in Bennington, went
to Annapolis and brought the young
veteran home. He was but the shad-
ow of a man and out of curiosity he
was taken directly from the train to
Mr.. Lorings office and placed upon
the scales. He weighed n 10
pounds. The last time he was weigh
ed before he was made prisoner he
weighed 179.

CONVEYED ONLY PLAIN TRUTH
Advertisement Of Boston Physician
Merely Stated Facts Exactly as
They Were.

A Boston physician tells of Doctor
Reed who, in his time, was one OF the
prominent medicos of the Hub. His
large practice included many patients
outside the city limits, and these he
visited in his buggy.
One day Doctor Reed bought a new
horse, with which he was much
pleased until he discovered that the
animal had an insurmouDtable obJec-
ton to bridges Of all kinds, and could
not BE made to cross one.
Inasmuch as at that period II was
necessary TO cross certain bridges in
order TO reach any one OF the sur
rounding towns. the doctor decided to
sell the horse. He did not think IL
necessary to mention the animals pc
culiarity, but was much too honest to
misrepresent him, and. after some
thought, produced the following ad.
vertisement. which he inserted in a
local paper:
For Sale.-A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is obliged
TO leave Boston"

IMMENSE QUANTITY
= OF WHEAT TIED UP
There viii Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch.
ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number OF years,
says
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels OF wheat, the pro-
duction Of the countries at war, tied
up. This is about one-half the worlds
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce a one-half crop In
the coming year, deficit Of one bill
lion bushels will still be shown The
three countries upon which the filing
of this deficit OF one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can.
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output OF these three countries is only
1,249, 900. 900, their exportable surplus
would OF course be much less, so II
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and II
behooves all the above countries 20
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
10 re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process OF rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration OF peace the farmers
OF all neutral wheat-produclng coun.
tries will have ample opportunity 20
market their wheat at good prices,
and II may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
productions; she Is under the protec.
ton OF the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water 90
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words. she can
become far greater wheat-producing
country than she IS at the present
time"
II the summing-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, Is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that Is being made by the Government
OF the Dominion Of Canada 10 secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands OF the country? Not only are
these lands capable Of producing high
class wheat In large quantities, but
cattle, pigs~sheep and horses also do
well. The climate Is admirably suited.
