Morton, a son of ]. Sterling Morton,
secretary of agriculture in the second
Cleveland cabinet. is the second vice
president of this line. He accompanied
Colonel Roosevelt on his tour of the
southwest during last falls campaign.
Mr.. Morton recently noticed that lit
tie Of the supply freight for the great
depots for the Philippines in Frisco was
being shipped over the Atchison. He
sent freight man to Washington TO
see why the war department was not
using his road, The freight man got no
satisfaction. Another came and went
home without better success
Then Morton decided to look into the
matter himself. He came to Washing

Root about it. 1t is reported that the
secretary told Mr.. Morton it was none
of Morton's affair; that the war depart
ment shipped its freight over whatever
road it saw fit to employ, and that he

Morton argued, but to no avail Then
he went out and set some big machinery
in motion Several senators and some
important representatives visited the
war department to urge Mortonss
claims for share of the freight, and, II
is said, some of them went further and
saw the president about it.
After giving his friends time to see
the secretary, Morton went back. Root
was vexed at the pressure brought to
bear on him. Morton asked Root If the
Santa Fe was to have any of the freight.
lit is said colloquy like this ensued.
No, not O. pound" Mr.. Root replied.
why not2" said Morton.
Because am running the war de-

There were some further exchanges.
and then it is alleged Morton told Sec
rotary Root he would force him to give
his road a share Of the freight.
Secretary Root vigorously denied that
Morton had the power to do this Nor

the secretary ordered him out Of the
Office. Both men We're very angry, but
Morton left at once.
