KILLS J. P. MORGAN'S PRI-
VATE PHYSICIAN
Fashionable St Georges' Thrown In
Panic When Escaped Lunatic
tis Opens Fire.
New York.—Piling a revolver, to-
ward the altar as he stood amid the
congregation of St. George's church
just after the collection had been tak-
en, Thomas W. Simpson, a printer,
maniac and self-confessed bolshevist,
sent a bullet crashing through the
brain of Dr. James W. Markoe, person-
al physician to J. P. Morgan and a ves-
try man of the church. Dr. Markoe
fell dead in the aiflle.
Panic ensued immediately and there
was a wild stampede toward the doors.
Brandishing the pistol Simpson ran to
the nearest door and waving his weap-
on at the people, warned them to keep
away.
Dr. George E. Brewer, noted surgeon
who had been passing the collection
plates with his fellow vestryman, dis-
regarded the warning. He advanced j
upon the maniac and was shot in the i
leg. He too fell in the aisle, but al- !
most immediately regained his feet
and notwithstanding his wound hur-
ried toward Simpson. Dr. Brewer was
Joined by W. M. Fellowes Morgan,
president of the Merchants' Associa-
te nand together they seized the as-
sassin, delivering him to detective*?
who had been attracted by the gunfire
and screams of hysterical women wor-
shipers.
The others who braved th'e slayer's
automatic gun as they hurried toward
him toa id in subduing and capturing
him were S. Morgan Jones, a manu-
facturer, who received a slight wound
as a bullet grazed his cheek, and Her-
bert L. Satterl'ee, brother-in-law of J.
P. Morgan and former assistant secre-
tary of the treasury.
G. Stafford, organist, signalled to the
choir and the organ thundered forth a
stately hymn and members of the
choir raised their voices in song in an
fcffort to calm the panic that started
among the congregation at the sound
of the first shot. This had some effect
and many resumed their seats, trembl-
ingly awaiting they knew not what
fate, for the bullets were flying wildly
from the mad man's pistol.
The police discovered many radical
pamphlets in the assassin's suitcase,
which they procured from the Pennsyl-
vania station through a check found in
the man's pocket. He told the police
he was of British birth, and had esca^
*d from asylumns at Fergus Falls,
Minn., and Richmond, Va., from the
latter place last week.
Washington.—Undeterred by the re-
fusal of the railroad labor board to
hear them, representatives of the rail-
road strikers announced, that they
would present writt'en compaints to-
gether with demands for a living wage
to tfye board which has begun formal
hearings on the big wage controversy.
The board flatly declined to consider
compaints from strikers, declaring it
would only hear those who were
adopting every reasonable means of
avoiding interruption of railroad serv-
ice.
The board will proceed with the
wage dispute involving claims of near-
ly two million men, which failed of
adjustment, when the bi-partisan
board ceased to function April 1.
Heads of the four brotherhoods and
the chairman of the association or
railway executives, all of whom were
present will attend.
Timothy Shea, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Firemen and
Enginemen, said that speedy settle-
ment would be urged. Refusal of the
board to hear strikers, Shea said,
would have the effect of sending all of

can, capital of the adjoining state of I
Sinaloa, according to official announce- !
ment from Sonora military headquart-
ers at Hermosilo.
The Sonora revolutionists immediat-
ely marched on Mazatan, an important
P;ort on the Sinaloa coast. Alter oc-
cupying Mazatian, it was announced
the Sonora troops will march on the
state of Nayarit, with Tepic, the capi-
tal as the objective. Large numbers
of recruits lor the revolutionary move-

in the belief that the board might
recognize them.
Delegations claiming to represent
railroad men of all crafts in various
cities who have quit work appeared
at the offices of the board demanding
assurances of a substantial guarantee
of increased wages, which they said
would send strikers back to work.
They composed an unorganized asso-
ciation, they said, known as I he Rail-
road Workers of America, insisting
that they still retained their member-
ship in the recognized unions, since
they had not struck, but had only gone
on a vacation.
Imemdiate protest was entei'ed by
W. N. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
who contended that the officers of ihe
eighteen railroad organizations pres-
ent represented the men unless ihey
had quit their jobs, in which case they
w'ere no longer employes of the rail-
roads, or members of the recognized
unions.

Police Chief Had a Still.
Ranger, Texas.—Barron B. Parrlsh,
chief of police, was especially efficient
in running down bootleggers. But the
