$, R, MORGAN SHOOTS
 PINE BLUFF LAWYER
Former AshdOwn Light Man in Spec tacular Affair in Lobby of
 Little Rock Hotel.

Little Rock, March 22.-S. R. Mor- gans meteoric career as an Arkan- sas financier, badly checkered during recent months by receiverships, suits and indictments, today took another step toward conclusion when, in the lobby of the Hotel Marion he shot Alex H. RoweH. prominent Pine Bluff attorney, and an officer of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of this state.
 Powell was as near death as a man can be and escape. Morgan, standing in front of Powell who was seated on a settee, jerked a .3S calibre Colts revolver from his pocket, and damned the barrell against Rowells forehead and pulled the trigger. The barrel cut Rowell's head but the cartridge failed to explode.
 Powell grabbed Morgan, who is much smaller in statue and forced his arms down, but Morgan con- tinued to pull the trigger and sue ceeded in firing two shots, one of which penetrated the fleshy part of Rowell's right thigh.
 A contractor standing nearby dis armed Morgan and held him until officers took him to jail, where he was arraigned on an assault charge and released on $1,OOO bond Row ell was removed to a hospital.
 Powell is attorney for parties if rancially interested in properties controlled by Morgan, including the Consumers Ice and Coal Company of Pine Bluff The next day Mor- gan and associates filed bankruptcy proceedings for the company in Federal court here Today Judge rrieber set aside the bankruptcy proceedings when Mr. Rowell pre- sented charges that MorgFn had taken the course in efforts to evade the Pine Bluff receivership.
 Meeting Powell in the hotel lobby later, he saked him how long he intended to keep suing him. "As long as there is any having to do' was the reply
 Morgan claims Powell then called him a crook. I'm going tc end this right now" Morgan re- piled. drawing the revolver.
 A year ago Morgan was president ot half a dozen or more Arkansas banks in addition to investment ana construction companies. Several of his banks were closed by banking officials and others were taken over by interests. He has numerous court judgments pending against him.

Prof. Jones nearly lost his life in
a frantic attempt TO save his daughter
from her death plunge. He had
grasped the hand of his daughter
when he saw her slipping over the
edge of the cliff and was pulled far
out over the edge in the attempt,
His grip gave away and the girl
plunged to the waters below, while
Jones clung precariously to the rocks
until witnesses dragged him TO safety.
Miss Jones had just posed on the
edge of the precipice for a photograph
taken by her father. A score OF wit
nesses were a few feet away. The
picture had been taken and Miss Jones
started to return to her father when
she stebbed on a number OF pebbles,
which rolled from under her shoes
and preciptated her TO the brink Of
the cliff.
Answering his daughters screams,
anxiety nearly precipitated him over
the precipice. He managed to grasp
his daughters hand and arrested her
fall for an instant, but his own posi-
tion prevented him from pulling her
back.
After the professor was rescued by
witnesses of the tragedy, a call was
sent for park and forest rangers, but
late last night the body had not been
recovered. II was said that it may
be some time before the body is found
because of the rapidity of the current.
Prof. Jones and his daughter ar
rived in Yosemite Valley yesterday, It
was said in dispatches. They had
been six weeks in Berkely, Cal,
where the professor had been an in
structor in the summer sessions of
the University of California.

SCOTCH ON BOARD
Dry Navy Making 1t More
Difficult to Run Rum
by Water.
GAVE A CLUE.
Sub-ChaSer Larsen Lying Off
Hook When She Noted
Flares Out at Sea.

That the marine gateway TO New
York is growing more difficult of pas
sage by rum runners was indicated
at dawn to-day when another motor
launch with 100 cases of Scotch wbis-
key aboard was captured off Sandy
Hook The seizure, made by customs
inspectors, was effected near where
the police boat Blue Boy picked UP the
launch b. n. J. early Friday morn
ing. Deputy Surveyor Sanders said
to-day that tho cooperation between
the customs. Prohibition and police
marine patrols has made smuggling
into this harbor so difficult that tbo
rendezvous off Firo Island of
schooners carrying liquor from the
West Indies has been broken UP.
"And we know where tho next
meeting place is located and we'll be
there first" declared Mr.. Sanders.
The customs chaser Larsen,
Capt. Larsen, was lying off Sandy
Hook about 3 o'clock this morning
when tho lookout saw several rocket
flares out at sea. They were aD-
parently signals. and as it is known
that the schOoners and the rum run
ming launches that go out to meet
them communicate by rocket mes
sagcs the Larsen was run slowly
down the Jersey coast toward the
point where the lights had been seen.
About an hour later the exhaust of
n motor boat was heard and a search
light picked up a launch moving
northward close to shore. The Lar
sen steamed alongside the launch and
Customs Inspector John BorlteI board
ed her. He found 100 cases of Scotch
whiskey stored away on board. There
were two men in the launch, and
under Borkels direction and escorted
by the Larsen they ran the boat &c
the Barge Office, where they were
arrested and the cargo was confis-
Gated.
The men gave the names Of George
Brown and "Red" Sherry. The name
Of the launch is Mamie H. The
prisoners refused to say who owns
her or where they got the whiskey OF
where they were about to land il. As
the capture was made in New Jersey
| waters, Brown and Sherry were taken
to Newark for arraignmcnt before
a United States Commissioner.
InasmuCh as the Mamie II. haC
exactly 100 cases of Scotch aboart
the capture revives interest in the al.

of 65 cases out Of 100 while the launch
