So Says Senator Morgan
in Recent Speech
ATTACKS ROOSEvELT'S POLICY
He Thinks that Cuba May be Cause
Of Trouble Between This
Country and Germany

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16.-In dis
cussing the Cuban reciprocity bill in
the senate yesterday Senator Morgan
again severely criticized President
Roosevelt's course in regard to Pana-
ma and warned Cuba that as the
United States had broken faith in
that matter the island had best look
carefully to its W. interests.
In this connection he said that
Germany might see At to do in Cuba
what the United States had done in
Panama and then there would be
war, as both the kaiser and the presi-
dent were thirsting for blood.
Mr.. Morgan took occasion to refer
frequently to the Panama canal
treaty and to what he denominated
presidential usurpation." He de-
clared that the United States were
becoming affected to the ore with
c~ovetousness and said the country
seemed to be ~Quivering with doubt as
to whether it should 60 over entirely
or pursue the better course followed
by our national fathers. So far as he
was concerned he would not be so
mean as to yield to a temptation sim.
ply to advance the commercial inter
ests of his state. He asserted that
the United States would do as it
might please with the island of Cuba,
and added: "She is now fettered to
the decks Of our warships as firmly
as Professor Langley's airship vas
ever attached to his ~houseboat."
Discusses the Message.
. Discussing the presidents message,
he said the chief executive had failed
to execute the Spooner law because
it was distasteful to him and declar.
ed that he had not succeeded in for
mulatlug any satisfactory excuse for
his course He predicted that the
time would come when Cuba would
clip the threads that restrain her
and bind her to us and again float off
into the sea of liberty"
In such an effort, he continued.
Cuba might find a friend in Germany.
which might follow our example and
create a state Of independence in a
night and then annex 1t with the com.
ing sunrise. No doubt there would
be fighting, for who. he asked, rs
more eager to fight than Emperor
William or our own strenuous presi-
dent?"
He then proceeded to say that only
yesterday he had met a great Demo.

fairs only second in Importance to the
presidency and had made a name for
himself in diplomacy (evidently

INDUSTRIAL
N. Y. Central Adopts Electricity,


The policy Of the New York Central
railroad looking toward the general
use of electri locomotives was def.
itely launched last week when it was
announced that thirty of such locomo-
tives OF new design capable Of hauling

ordered from the General Electric com.
pany. This is the largest order for
