Attack

Royal S. Copeland is the only doctor* in the Senate. One day last week he was urgently summoned. His black hair waving, he ran down to the barber shop. There, anxious barbers stood about a chair. In the chair he found his Democratic friend, Senator Andrieus Aristieus Jones of New Mexico, white and immobile. "An attack" spluttered a barber. Seeing no couch in the shop, Doctor-Senator Copeland told the barbers to lay Senator Jones on the floor. He despatched the bootblack for whiskey and had a barber telephone for Rear Admiral Grayson.* The bootblack quickly returned with several containers of whiskey and other restoratives. Senator Jones revived. Presently the Doctor-Admiral arrived, and Senator Jones was removed to the Emergency hospital. His condition was pronounced serious. For several years he has suffered from angina pectoris. An hour previous to his collapse in the barber shop, Senators had noted he looked poorly. He had been making a speech on one of the most complicated matters Senators ever gave ear to--the Alien Property Bill.
