wae Washington Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHING 1 UN, Jath. vv. whi. Sy Vi ir Morris, who was ejected from the White | ~ House executive offices. her bed at the New Willard Huiel, suf- fering from nervous shock. On her shoulders and arms are bruises received | in the struggle. Mrs. Morris is nervous, and in discussing the distress- ing occurrence she frequently became hysterical. “Where was the President of the United States, that he did not come to the rescue of a woman and a mother who was being brutally treated by his servants?’ said Mrs. Morris to a rep- resentative of the Post-Dispatch. ‘He certainly heard my screams, and he should Mave put a stop to the brutal- ier." Mrs. Morris was shown the official statement issued at the White House, in which it was asserted that it was necessary to eject her because she was boisterous. : The statement continues: Barnes’ Statement. “Mrs. Morris’ piercing shrieks were heard throughout the building, and it became necessary, in the interest of or-} der, to have her removed. She was, ac- cordingly, taken in charge bv a police officer, who had witnessed the whole affair. He asked her to go with him quietly. She refused, and told him that if she was removed she would have to be dragged every step of the way. “Before applying force the officer asked her three times to leave the office quietly. She refused to comply with these requests, and was led from the room. She struggled violently with the two police officers. striking, kicking and biting them all the way from the office building to the eastern entrance of the White House. “As soon as she was outside of the Office building she threw herself on the ground and it became necessary to carry her. The officers repeatedly asked her to stand up and walk quiet- ly with them so that they would not have to use force, but she refused to do so and defied them in shrieks that were heard throughout the White House. She waa finally removed to police headquarters, where she was eharged with disorderly conduct. “After her arrest she produced an envelope addressed to the President. which she asked to have delivered to him. This envelope was found to con- tain a lengthy poem on the subject of insommia, which, she said, was her own composition. She stated to the officers that she had not siept for several nights past. “There is no truth whatever in the statement made by many of this morning's papers that a negro laid hola of Mrs. Morris and assisted in carrving her. One of the colored mes- sengers of the office followed the po- licernen und gathered up such small articles as were drop ed in the wom- an’s struggles, but there was no other foundation whatever for the state- ment,” Untrue, Says Mra. Morris. “There is not a true sentence in the Whole statement,” said Mrs. Morris. “Even the women servants atthe White House came, and with tears in thelr eves, begged the officers not to treat a woman the way they were handiing me. The men silenced the women and hauled me out. “Mr. Barnes says that my shrieks were heard throughout the building. 1 don’t remember screaming, and I i'¢ not until the officers grabbed me, bu if the shrieks were heard throughout the White House, then why did not the President of the United States, us an American citizen, as the brave man he is said to be, come out and say to the ‘brutes who were neariv killing me: ‘Unhand that woman! She is a mother: Where was the President of the Unite’? States al! this e? Ard what crimes are sometimes done in the naine of the law?’ Mrs. Morris announced that. she would seek redress against Mr. Barnes. Mrs. Morris declares that a negro ac gd did catch her bv the feet and elp the officers carry her. The name of the man is Charles Reeder. Severa! witnesses say thiev saw Reeder take held of Mrs. Motris’ feet. While she was{iin the house of de- tention, Mrs. Mérris says, Mr. [oeb sent an officer prefer a charge of tnsanity. Speaking of the poem of in- somnia taken from her, Mrs. Morris, who is a poet of some note in Washk- ington, said: “On nights I could not sleep I wrote this poem on ‘Insomnia’ and carried it with me vesterday to give t» the President in case I saw him. I believed that if he read it he would appreciate how much I had suf- fered.”’ “The Hulls arg to blame for this whole trouble 7 exclaimed Mrs. Morris. When she ré@ad Mr. Barnes’ statement ‘of her ‘arrest’ she cried bitterly, and said: “Oh, won't the Hiulis be glad when they read this!" Representative Hu!!, brother to Mrs. Morris, was not at the Capitol yester- @ay and could not be found. The breth er and sister are estranged, and have mot spoken to each other for vears The. @ifficuity grew sat of the distribution of a small estate of their father, and there was a long leral fight over the matter In the Iowa courts. Mr. Hull! has done nothing whatever to help his aister in her trouble.

Suburban Company Will Ac- quire Alton and Gran- ite City Road.

CITY SYSTEM INVOLVED |

: | Ultimate Control of All by the North American Company in View. Negotiations are on looking toward tlie purchase of the control of the Alton, Granite & St. Louis traction lines by the East St. Louis & Suburban Street Ktailway Co. It is stated on good authority only the minor details of the purchase plan re- main to be carried out. | Local capitalists are interested in bot companics, and the control of the Al- ton, Granite & St. Louis proverty is practically held in this city. D. R. Francis is largely interested. _ Clark Brothers.of Philadeipnia now contre] the Bast St. Louis & Suburban Company, although Edwards Whitaker, broker, who was interested in ihe financing for the construction of the property, is still « large stockholder. At the office of Mr. Whitaker it was stated Saturday to a Post-Dispatch re- purter that merger negotiations were on between the two companies, but that the details of the purchase plan not made known. The Kast St. Louis & Suburban Com- pany controls 115 miles of electric lines in Kast St. Louis and the territory con- tiguous thereto, its interurban branches passing through Belleville, Lebanon, Ed- werdsvil.e, Co lissville, Edgemont, Marysville and O'F. ‘9n. The eompany also atrols the Citi- gens’ Flectric Light anu Power Co. of East Si. Louis, and operaics its cars over Bads Bridge under a. franchise which extends for ® years. | Through Line to Bridge. were The Alton, Granite & St. Louis Trac- tion Co. eontrols lines between Granite City and Alton, and is at present com- pleting a sine between Cranite City and Kast St. Louis. Its total trackage is about 50 miles. The company also con- trols the Alton Gas and K-ectric Co. The consolidation of the two properties is of more importance to St. Louis in- terests than appeurs on the surface, us it is generally believed that they will ultimately pass to the North American Co,, which controls all the Nghting plants and street railway lines in: this city, with the exception of the St. Louis & Suburban. , More than a year ago, when the United Railways Co., the local lizhting and power plants were purchased by the North American Co.. it Was reported that negotiations for the purchase orf the Kast Side lines were on. But the refusal of Clark Bros. to look with favor on the proposition of the North American Co. caused their abandun- ment. These lines, together with the eht- ing and power plants controlled hy the towns interested, would give the Nort American Co, nearly absolute gontro) of the street railways, lighting and power piants in St. Louis, East St. Louis ana all surrounding territory,

We have an of ground around our home, and fine trees, but there are streets on all but the north side, so I chose that side for the bird table, as it most sheltered and at the same time affords us the best chance to watch the birds from the house. I began by tying lumps of suet up in small trees near the windows and very soon my guests began to arrive. Later I devised a plan of bringing the suet eaters within closer range. I fas-. tened a rough stick two or three inches in diameter to the window shutters, across the window a little below the middle sash, and upon this stick I tied my lump of suet. “From that time we have had the pleasure all winter long of watching our bird neighbors at their luncheon while sitting at our own dining table. I also fastened a wooden tray to the sill into which we put cracked nuts and chopped suet. The most constant visitors are the chickadees and woodpeckers; then blue jays, titmice, juncos and nuthatches, with once.in a while a cardinal. Of these the chickadees and downy wood- peckers are the tamest. Another Illinois correspondent says: “Last fall I hung a birdfood shelf at our south study window and early each morning put cracked nuts, suet and birdseed on it. Several tufted titmice visited it the first morning. In a day or two juncos and chickadees came in flocks. W hite-breasted nuthatches, downy and hairy woodpeckers were constant visitors all winter, often com- ing several times a day. A mocking- bird came until the middle of December, making in all nine kinds of birds. These birds all enjoyed the fresh fat pork t nailed to a nearby tree.’ SAYS: acre is the
