THE 3I0RMXG OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 11, 1908. FATHER'S LIFE IS SAVED BY CHILD Postmaster Morgan, of New York, Shot Down by Lunatic. GIRL PREVENTS FATALITY Daughter Strikes Revolver as Crazed Man Pulls Trigger Bullet In- filets Only Slight Mound In A'lctim. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Edward M. Mor gan, postmaster of New York City, was wounded in the abdomen thle morning by a bullet fired by E. H. B. Mackey. an eccentric English stenographer, who then committed suicide. He was resting well tonight and unless complications develop he will recover. Mr. Morgan probably owe his life to the quick wit and bravery of his 14-year-old daughter, Dorothy, who saw Mackey draw his revolver, and struck It with her hand. This deflected the bullet, otherwise the postmaster would have been fatally wounded, for his assailant was at close range and fired four shots. The shooting occurred at One Hundred Forty-elxth street, a short distance from Mr. Morgan's home. He was on his way down town at the time. An Investigation of the life and record of Mackey reveate that he was of a mor bid nature and a former Inmate of an asylum In Worcester. Ma-s. That his act was premeditated Is made certain by a letter which he left, but asidl from a fancied grievance against Mr. Mor gan and the postofflce authorities con cerning the handing of hl mall nothing has come to light to Indicate why he should have sought to murder the post master. HI clothing, when searched, (rave up between 30 and 40 smokeless cartridges, a heavy alungshot. a knife with a four-inch blade and a clasp knife. A quantity of literature on Socialism and a slungshot similar to the one found on the body were discovered In his room. That he was rational durioc work hours, however, was attested by the Broadway firm of lawyers by which he was em ployed. MACKEY ESCAPED IXXATIC Committed for Shooting Fellow Employe, In IToscworks.

Precedents Cited on Roth Sides and Court Rule In Favor vf Stale. Cafe oariii Its End. All day yesterday "counsel for the slate on the one hand and the attor neys for Jack La Rose, the alUgcd murderer of llyman Neuman. on the other, argued over the admission In evidence of the gaspipe with which La Knse assaulted John Chong the day following the Neuman murder, and of any testimony In relation to It. As soon as John Chong took the witness srandyesterday morning. At torney Humphreys objected to any ques tions being asked. The Court said they must be asked before the nnswers could be excluded from the Jury. -Chong said he Is a tailor, doing business at 19 Ankeny street. He satd U Rose entered his establishment May IS. Chong wns then asked what La lose was carrying. He said tiiat the gaspipe and Iron pipe two Inches In diameter and a little more than a foot long, wrapped In brown paper, that h3d already been brotijht into the courtroom, as had the (rasplpe with which Neuman was beaten ver the head. The latter is a piece of l"ad pipe, of about the same sixe. and lightly bent. It waa also wrapped In trovn paper. Attorney Logan said that the testi mony Is competent to prove that the similarity of the crimes Identifies one man as the parpetrator of both. At torney Humphreys contended on the other hand that it Is not competent to introduce such testimony until It Is shown that no one but La Rose had access to a gaspipe and brown paper. The neat appearance which La Rose has presented while before the Jury was the occasion for an order yesterday that he appear In the garb In which he was ar rested, that witnesses might be better eWe to Identify him. The Sheriff told La Hose to wear his old clothes, after Dis trict Attorney Fitzgerald had suggested to him the reason for It. But La Rose appeared yest-rday as prim as ever. Jay t'pton, one of his attorneys, said that the defendant had done so at the sugges tion of his counsel, and that the man had a r:g!:t to wear such clothing at the trial as he wished. The suit which La Rose wore when arrested was frayed and gr-asv. but a departing prisoner of the J.ll left him a neat black suit, which he wears in court. The case will probably go to the Jury to morrow night or Thursday morning. WHEAT EXPORTS TO END J. J. Hill Predicts Six Years Nation Will Consume All Raised. TACOMA; Wash.. Nov. 10. Six years v.-ill trtng the end of wheat exportation from Vumt Sound and other Pacific .caot ports, according to a prediction made here tonight by James J. Hill. cr.a:mian of the. bfcirtl-of directors of the Great Northern Railroad. The noted magnate asserted that within six years the consumption of wheat by the United States win De so great it win not mum than equal, if it will equal home con sumption. Mr. Hill, together with Louis W. Hill. Howard Elliott and George B. Harris, presidents respectively of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific and Bur lington systems: Francis B. Clarke, presi dent of the "North Bank" line, and 20 other executives of railroad lines oper ating to the Pacific Coast, were guests at the annual banquet of the Chamber of Commerce, the largest affair of its kind ever held here. The Great Northern Railroad has an nounced its intention of extending to Ta coma in the near future and Mr. Hill during his address announced that the Great Northern will Inaugurate through passenger train service daily between Tacoma and Chicago next Spring, provid ing conditions warrant. ROOT OPENS M COLLEGE I NITED STATES SOT A MILITARY XATIOX, HE SAYS. Secretary Declares In Dedicatory Address This Country's Ideas Are Political Ones. WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. The formal opening of the Army War College today was made the occasion of simple ceremo nies In the building dedicated to that In stitution. Secretary Root, under whose administration of the War Department the Institution for military- Instruction was Inaugurated several years ago. Gen eral Franklin Bell, chief of staff and Gen eral W. W. Witherspoon president of tlie college addressed a distinguished com pany. Secretary Root declared it was no strange thing that at the capital of a country devoted to peace there should arise this structure devoted to the science of the arts of war. Greed, jealousy and spite have not yet disappeared among men. and prosperity, he said, only invites attack unless there is also the virile manhood and capacity to defend the na tion possessing It. In order that this Na tion may be able to defend itself if need be, he said, the Army War College had been created. "We are not a military nation and never shall be," said Mr. Root. "We are warlike enough to rise in defense of our rights. We are singularly like the Eng lish and singularly unlike most of the na tions of the continent. Our ideas are political and not military. We do not therefore naturally run in the mould of military organisations." Officers of the general staff, he In sisted, should not allow their desire for power In military affairs to cause them to be absorbed by administration rather than by a study of military problems. FRAUD ALL OVER STATE REGISTRATION FIGURES SHOW DEMOCRATS' Dl'PLIClTY. Thousands Take Oath They Are Re publlcsms, Then Cast Ballot for Bryan. Multnomah's many Democrats, who are registered as Republicans, showed up big In last Tuesday's election. There were 2917 more votes cast for Bryan than were registered for the Democratic party. On the other hand. Taft polled 11.27,fewer votes than were registered for the Republican party. This slide from the Republican list to the Demo cratic is new proof of the registration fraud of Democrats. Several weeks ago The Oregonlan printed the names of some 600 of the fraudulent registra tions. Most of the counties cast many more votes for Bryan than were registered as Democrats. Conspicuous examples were the following: Bryan votes. Reg. Dern.

CALLED IT PASTORAL DUTY Writes to Bishop, but Remains In Hiding and Is Believed to Know Where Edna Clarke Is Concealed. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 10. (Special.) Father Payson Young, rector of St. Mary's Church, has asked and obtained from Bishop Nichols the right to have his connection with the disappearance of Miss Edna Clarke investigated by the officers of the Episcopal Church. He has thrown down the gauntlet to his accusers and dared them to present the evidence which would Implicate him in any "unworthy association" with the pretty art student whose inexplicable disappearance two weeks ago has come to be the sensation of the hour. The letter sent to Bishop Nichols by Father Young, arrived late tonight at the Episcopal residence by special mes senger. It came from this city from the priest's unknown hiding place, for it was impossible today for anybody to get into communication with the clergyman at any of his accustomed haunts. Kissed Girl Behind Closed Door. Father Young, in demanding an offi cial Investigation, lias paved the way for the admission Into the evidence against him of the sensational story told bv Miss Edna Reynolds, the chum and confidant of the missing girl. It is a story which does not read well in print, and it is entirely problematical how. the clergyman expects to refute It. Father Young has secluded himself in the last 48 hours and has not placed himself in the position where he can make any more admissions as to the truth of the statements made by Miss Reynolds. The priest, despite his bold front in demanding an investigation, has al ready been trapped Into several dam aging statements He has confessed that he was wont to receive Miss Clarke in his private study, where he lavished kisses and caresses upon her behind closed doors. He has lamely explained this as part of his pastoral duty the fulfillment of that scriptural exhortation which commands the faith ful to "greet one another with a holy kiss." According to his way of think ing the "holy kiss" imprinted upon the lips of susceptible young girls was nothing to require an apology or ex planation. Told Her They Were Engaged. Miss Reynolds tells daily a little more which her girl companion falter Ingly told her In the days Just before her disappearance. That story does not place the relations of priest and girl In the simple light of fatherly affection. Miss Reynolds says that the clergyman gave Miss Clarke every reason to believe that to all Intents and purposes they were engaged. Miss Reynolds says that Miss Clarke told her that Father Young even went so far as to ofTer to purchase an en gagement ring for his fiance. This, savs Miss Reynolds, was refused by Miss Clarke as being a step which would reveal her relations with the clergyman to her mother, who besides being opposed to her "high church" ideas, was bitterly opposed to receiv ing Father Young as even a visitor in her family. Relieves Young Knows More. Miss Reynolds says that, according to her chum's story, the secret engage ment of the priest and the schoolgirl dated as far back as last August. Now that Father Young's guard has been partially broken down through a par tial confession of his real relations with the girl. Miss Reynolds clings with Increased conviction to her theory that the clergyman knows more about her chum's disappearance than he has yet allowed himself to admit. The civil authorities have wired to Dayton. O.. from which place Father Young hails. In an endesvor to ascer tain his former record. The police re port they have observed Father Young acting disgracefully at late hours on the street with women not of his con gregation, citing specific cases. Mean while there Is absolutely no news of the missing girl. WILL BMMfflO RAISE TEACHERS MAY GET PAY FOR 12 MONTHS IX YEAR. Increase or 2 0 Per Cent in Salaries Favored Matter Goes Over Till Xext Meeting. if it had not been for the absence of Directors Campbell and 'Warre.n from the city yesterday, the Board of Education would probably have recommended to the next meeting of the school taxpayers that the salaries of the regular teachers In the schools be increased 20 per cent and that their monthly wages be paid throughout the year Instead of during the 10 months of the school year as at present. As the two directors were not present, the matter was left over until the next regular meetlns. which will be held No vember 23. , The recommendation in favor of higher salaries for the teachers came from the finance committee of the Board, which Is composed of Mrs. L. W. Sutton and I. N. Fleischner.- The two directors have, since they entered office, taken up the causa of the teachers, and it was through the instrumentality of Mr. Fleischner that kitchens for the benefit of the teachers were installed in the schools. Mrs. Sitton took up theother side, the necessity of an adequate salary for the teachers the year around, upon which she and Mr. Fleischner readily agreed. The matter was referred to them as the finance com mittee of the Board some time ago, but they were not prepared to report until yesterday. The report they presented was in substance as follows: "That the Board of Education recom mend to the taxpayers at their next an nual meeting that the salaries of all reg ular teachers. not Including special teachers, be Increased 20 per cent, and that the monthly wage be continued throughout the year if they (the tax payers) so prefer." The Increase in salaries of the teachers will amount to about ?100,ooo. The salary roll now is about f-oo.OOO a year, and some of the teachers receive only $50 a month 10 months of the year, and out of the sum that they receive for the edu cation of the young they have to pay the expenses of their vacation season of two months. During their vacation, they have to study for promotion ana ior me im provement of their pupils. At present they receive no salary for. their vacation work, nor even an allowance for attend aance upon an educational Institute. A free kindergarten was ordered estab lished in the Holman School in South Portland, upon petition of Mrs. Ann R. Stephens, president of the Mothers' Club of that school district. IS NOT AFRAID OF MICE Elephant at Xew York Zoo Pun ishes Rodent Intruder. New York Press. ' There was once a rumor going the rounds that the genus elephant fears the genus mouse. Luna, the Bronx Park pachyderm. If asked the truth of this, probably would'reply that she feels noth ing but a strong ticklish sensation when the word "mouse" is mentioned In her hearing. , All was quiet in the Bronx Zoo elephant house and Luna, formerly known as Alice, was drowsing against the wall of her abode. Now and then she gTunted uneasily. Possibly she was dreaming of that time a few weeks ago when she made her mad rush into the reptile house, causing excitement amoig the spectators and annoyance among the serpents, whose repose was disturbed when Luna smashed their glass prisons with her mighty trunk. The elephantine heroine of this episode awakened when something began to tickle her foot. Sheawoke and looked angrily at the cause of the dis turbance. She saw -a creature so small as to be almost invisible. It was a mouse, and the first Luna had ever seen, her keepers say. The rodent was scampering merrily around the pachyderm's weighty foot. Now and then It would stop and nibble furiously at Luna'l toes. It was this that had awakened her, and It was this that now made her back discreetly to the rear of her cage. At her first movement the mouse raced to the side of tllfl cage, where it paused. looking cautiously around. Luna's keeper stood watching the proceedings from the gangway back of the Inclosure. The elephant, the keeper says, stood trembling at the rear of her home, her little red eyes still fastened on the small, gray tuft of fur against the farther wall. The mouse made the next move. It ad vanced to the middle of the cage, where it paused again. Then it ran to the ele phant and started to romp about the huge forelegs. Then Ijuna decided to stop the antics of the mouse. She cautiously brought her forelegs together. As the mouse jumped upon tier toes she managed to press one of her huge feet on the little animal's tail There was much squeaking and struggling at the base of that elephant foot as the mouse battled vainly to escape. Luna was perfectly calm, and, her keeper said, she evidently seemed oblivious of the rpputcd dread an ele phant has for a mouse. With her trunk she gingerly picked up the struggling mouse by the tail and held It aloft where she could examine it more carefully. Then she trumpeted loudly, at the same moment hurling her captive away from her. The mouse struck the wall with a thud uid fell to the floor of the cage. Evidently it was not hurt much for It raced away in fright and disap peared between two boards. Luna leaned against the wall and went to sleep again. VON BUELOW TO EXPLAIN Germany on Tiptoe Awaiting Lively Debate in Reichstag. BERIJN, Nov. 10. It is expected that the debate on the subject of the Em peror's Interview which was published recently in a London paper will be exceedingly lively, probably taking up two days in the Reichstag.

It had been the policy ot England, he said, to preserve the peace of the world, largely through the benign Influence of the late Queen and her son, the King. Great Britain and the UDited States could not afford a conflict,, he said, because they held In their keeping the peace of the world. Other speakers and their subjects were "Britain and America," Bishop Scad ding. "The British Army," William Gadsby. "The British Navy," Dr. David Walker. "The Ladies," W. J. Burns.
