HARRISON A SUICIDE.

Convicted .by the Cry of the Och
locracy He Chose Death Rather
Than Felon's Stripes.
Special to The Argus.
Xorfolk. Va.. Sept. 19 Rather than
spend twenty Tears in the North Car
olina penitentiary for the crime of kid
napping little Kenneth Beasley, a
crime of which one of his last acts was
tn rlPflare himself euiltless, Joshua
Tfnrrison took his life here in the new
Gladstone Hotel at 5:30 o'clock yester.
day afternoon.
Harrison arrived here yesterday and
went direct to the Gladstone. He came
here from Elizabeth City .where he had
appeared in court to renew the bond
on which he was at liberty pending
the decision of the North Carolina
' Supreme Court on a motion for a new
trial in his case. His bond was raised
fmm 83.000 to 84.000 and he had no
trouble in furnishing it. He imraedi
ately lit for Norfolk and the Supreme
Ceurt almost as quickly rendered
decision adverse to him.
The Norfolk police were asked to
arrest hirn. Harrison made no effort
to conceal his identity here, and no
trouble was experienced in locating
him at the hotel. He was staying close
in his room and a little strategy was
resorted to to get him out. A bell boy
was sent to his room by Detective
Harry Wright, who went to make the
arrest, with instructions to tell Har
risnn that he was wanted at the tele
phone.
The boy was advised by Harrison
that he could not answer the phone
and appeared to realize that it was
decoy message. ' Detective Wright re
xnained at the loot of the stairway as
the bell boy went up to deliver the
message. The boy had hardly gotten
well down stairs to report to the de
tective when a pistol shot rang out in
the kidnapper's room.
The door of the room was immedi
ately forced open and Harrison was
found lying upon-the: bed.with a bullet
hole in his right 'temple. He was
bleeding treely and a pool of blood had
settled .about his head; Although h
was unconscious there was. still Jife in
liis bodv. He was hurried to the St
Vincent's Hospital, barely alive, and
liAstv examination 'showed 'that there
-was no chance for his life;. It wae re
ported later Irom the hostital that an
ther and more thorough examination
bad been made, but proved more eon
elusively th at he bad no chalice of re
eovery. The bullet fired in hie temple
moved fatal at 2 o'clock this morning
' In Harrisen's room was found a let
ter signed by him, in which he stated
that he was innocent of the crime with-
which he was charged and upon which
he was, convicted, and that he knew
nothing whatever of it. The exact
wording of the letter the police do not
aee fit to reveaL . . ...,. ... . ..

oshua Harrison's Written Statement
In Contemplation of Suicide.
(Special to the Argus.)
Norfolk, . Sept. 20, Joshua Harri
son's body was taken to Jarvisburg.
N. C, yesterday for burial.,,
In a note found, Harrison said:
"I am an innocent man. God knows
it; my family know it. I am about to
end my lite. No one is in any way re
sponsible save the cruel ones who im
posed that awful sentence."
It was a sad scene enacted when De
tective Wright broke the news as gent
ly as possible to Mrs. Maggie Gallop.of
192 Duke street.a daughter of Mr. Har
rison. The Officer told Mrs. Gallop and
Mr. Harrison's wife that he had met
with an accident. The women in a
trembling voice inquired what the
trouble was.
When told that Mr Harrison had
shot himself, she almost tainted, but
gasped that she expected that some
thing would happen when a new trial
was denied by the courts. Mrs. Gallop
was then joined by her mother, the
wife ot the dead man, who declared
between her daughter's and her own
tears and sobs that Mr. Harrison was
innocent.
Airs. Harrison declared that her hus
band was asleep the night in February,
1905, that Kenneth Beasley was kid
nanped and carried away. She tried
to comfort her daughter with the as
surance that her father was a martyr,
having been innocent ot the crime for
which he was convicted.

r- . Special to The Argus,
Norfolk, "Va., Sept. 19. The eleventh
annual ineeting of the League of Amer
ican Municipalities began its business
sessions today in Armory Hall in this
city. . The gathering is a remarkable
one for many reasons. The conven

only motive drawing the participants
together . being the desire to secure
honest and economical administration
of affairs in the cities of the country
The subject that will overshadow all
others scheduled for consideration by
the convention is the question ot mu
nieipal government by board or com
mission as compared with the old form
of government by mayor and council
Among those who will participate m
the discussion of this subject are
Mayor Harris, of Fort Worth
Texas, Mayor Rhett, of Charles
ton, S. C, James G. . Berryhill, the
author of the Des Moines plan of
commission government, Dr. W. H
Allen, secretary of the bureau o
municipal research, New York city
John R. Davies, chairman finance com
mitte of the board of Aldermen of
New York city, and Rear Admiral
Chadwick, IT. S. N.
Two other subjects that will receive
the attention-of the convention are
Municipal - Ownership" and "liow
Taxes for Public Service "Versus Fran
chise Taxation." Friday will be ob
served as "Municipal Day" at the Ex

Special to The Argus.
Washington, Sept. 19. Itis announc
ed by close friends; of Mr. Bryan that
he is anxious to again run for President
and to that end is willing to give up
for the time being certain pet schemes
of his, like governmentownership, the
initiative and referendum.and so forth,
in order to secure the Democratic nom-
inatioh.
Mr. Bryan, it is claimed, will soon
issue a statement to this effect, and
saying that if the party, which is not
ready for such schemes yet, is willing
to accept him as the most available
man, he will accept the nomination.

FOOTBALL BEGINS TO-DAY.
It fill be Several Weeks, However,
Before The Real Battles Begin.
(By special wire to The Argus.)
New York. Sept. 21. Among the
Eastern colleges football for 1907 makes
its initial bow today. The first skirm
ishes take place today, being little
more than-practice games, for it will be
several weeks, however, before the
real battles begin.
The situation is not altogether love
ly, however. l?r from it. It is com
plicated and unsatisfactory. So much
so, in iact, tnat it is impossiDie to iore-
cast with any degree of certainty just
how strong the various members of the
"bi? five" will be this fall. Judging
fronTthe number of veterans - left o ver
from last year Cornell ought " to be
unusually strong. Yale has lost by
graduation and other causes more than
half the 1906 squad, but it has some ex
ceptionally strong recruits from the
freshman eleven of last year. The
University of Pennsylvania is fortu
nate in having lost but two of the mem
bers ot last year's team. Princeton
has lost heavily in the line, but re
ports from the training quarters indi
cate that the Tigers expect to be well
able to care for themselves. . Harvard
is believed to be in the worst shape of
any of the big colleges, due largely to
the uncertainty existing the greater
part of last year as to whether football
would be continued as a college sport.
Annapolis and West Point and also the
Carlisle Indians are counted upon to
snow up weu. , ., ... :
With but few exceptions, the sched
ules of the big teames are much smaller
this year than usual. There . will be
but two intersectipnal games of im
portance. One will be between the
University of Pennsylvania and Uni
versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor and
the other between the Carlisle Indians
and University of Minnesota at Min

I0UKDMI0K FOR DISEASE
Malaria comes from the absorntion into the blood of e-erms and microbes
which destroy the rich, nutritive qualities of the circulation and reduce it to
i weaic, watery, disease-spreading stream. The health 5' color of the skin 13
riven to it by the millions of little red corpuscles which are in the blood.
- ese are the carriers of nourishment and health to all parts of the body ;
u other words the very life and vitalizing essence of the circulation. The
i.e?truction of these corpuscles . by the malarial poison takes the color
from the cheek, and in the first stages of Malaria we have pale, sallow faces,
poor appetite, a bilious condition is set ud. and we feel "out of sorts"
generally. But Malaria means more than this ; it is a sj'stemic blood poison,
vhich undermines the health and gives rise to innumerable and sometimes
serious disorders and diseases if the poison is allowed to remain in the blood.
As the blood becomes more and more polluted with the malarial poison, the
digestion becomes deranged, chiils and fever are freauent. skin diseases.
boils and carbuncles, and sores and ulcers break out on the flesh, and after
awhile the foundation is laid for other diseases which either prove fatal or
permanently undermine and wreck the health. Malaria can only be worked
out of the system through the blood. Purging the liver and bowels with
strong, nauseating cathaitics can never remove the trouble because they do
not reaca tne Diooa wnere me germs are constantly multiplying. The only
hope for a cure is a remedy that can destroy the germs and microbes, and
neutralize the bad effects of the poison, and S. S. S. is the medicine to
accomplish thisk because it is a perfect blood purifier and a general systemie:
remedy of unequalled value. S. S. S.
searches out and removes every trace
of the malarial poison and puts the
blood in such rich, healthy condition,
that sallow, anaemic complexions take
on the ruddy glow of health, the liver
and digestion are righted, the apne-
" "V ' tite improved, the system vitalized,
and strengthened, and every symptom of Malaria passes away. Malariab
persons will find S. S. S. not only a prompt remedy but a gentle, pleasant act-j
ngone, as well as a certain cure for this disease. Besides removing the
:ause of Malaria S. S., S. builds up every part of the system by its fine tonic
effects. Persons living in a malarial section should, at this season, fortify
clieir systems against this insidious disease by purifying their blood with a

Is an ordeal which all
women approach with

nothing compares with
the pain and horror of
child-birth. The thought
of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a.
6hadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women;
have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy rob;
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its tt
