ton is being reviewed. Mr.. Morton is
not easily worried, but the attempt OF
opposition newspapers to discredit him
as a cabinet office because :he is connect
ed with railroad that at one time gave
rebates nettles him at times. He also
has to endure the charge that he is still
drawing salary from the railroad. Pres
ident Roosevelt enjoys twitting disclose
friend and secretary of the navy on the
ordeals through which the latteris pass
ing.
Don't allow yourself to be worried.
Norton" the president said the other
day, after he had poked little fun at the
secretary because of the double salary
charge. THE next thing we are likely
to see in the newspapers is that you are
drawing railroad salary and giving half
of it to me-" 1t is needless to say that
all this criticism does not shake the con-
fidence the president has in his secretary
Of the navy.
The fact that Mr.. Morton up to 1896
was democrat, and that he, is the SON
of the late Secretary of Agriculture J.
Sterling Morton, staunch Cleveland
democrat, is frequently commented
upon by those who wish to make him
trouble. This sort of criticism does not
worry Mr.. Morton in the least. He de-
fined his political status the other day by
saying that he was Theodore Roose-
welt democrat and J. Sterling Morton
republican.

The plan was the usual one. The syndi-
cate would buy several thousand shares
ION the curb" through one or more
brokers, selling the same number Of
shares through others. AS they bought
from themselves and sold to themselves
they had nothing to pay but the brokers'
commission. What shares the messen-
ger boys and other outsiders bought at
gradually rising prices helped along. but
most Of that profit was spent in extrava-
CANT living. The expenses Of the cam
pafgn were met in this manner: The
Munroes had established relations with
Mr.. LOOMS. second vice president and
"credit man" of the National city, and
he gave them Zine of credit" of $780,
900. That is, he would certify checks to
thatamount every morning, and the firm
would make good" before three o'clock.
They could always use the checks they
got from their selling brokers to pay
their buying brokers. and the bank, in
theory, would never be more than few
hours behind its. credit. That would
have worked all right II they had sue
ceeded in unloading" at $3.50, as
planned. There would have been big
money In that. As matter OF fact. they
had Just put out stock enough to profit
them $751; 900 at a cost of $3.50, 900 when
December came-"Lawson day" All
copper stocks went slithering down the
slide, the Munroes used the checks re-
ceived from selling to pay for stocks
bought, and there the chain broke. and

say the bank didn't lose anything, bu:
that is hard to hsure out. Anyhow, the
brokers who got left with stock on their
hands, the men who sold the furniture

lost from 81 to $50 apiece are inclined
to blame the bank-for without It even

reform in the matter of reviewing stands
from which the general public that cares
to pay one dollar or two dollars for seats
can view the splendid inaugural parade.
Heretofore, reviewing stands have been
erected at various points along the line
OF parade. and they have not always
been things Of beauty, nor have they &C.
cupied the most advantageous points
from which to :icw the marching.
The proposition now being considered
IS to use the ellipse just south Of the
white house. This is al oval shaped plat
OF ground, many acres in extent, and
around which runs broad macadam-
lied driveway. 1t is proposed to erect a
stand completely around this ellipse In
the form Of an amphitheater. At one
point in it would be the grand stand,
where the president and the distin-
suishel personages could review the
marching columns. The parade would
move around the driveway and would be
in full view as it passed the entire ellipse.
Such stand would be Of tremendous
extent and accommodate probably 5000

see the troops and marching bodies as
they passed the president in their very
best form.
On former occasions the inaugural
parade passed in front of the white
house. which necessitated a break from
Pennsylvania avenue up Fifteenth
street to the north Of the treasury, and
then west again on the avenue. This
made it necessary for the marchers to
execute two movements just before pass
ing the reviewing stand, and it some
times threw the best drilled bodies OF
men out Of line, which they did not al
ways recover when they came within
sight of the president. If the big review
ing stand is provided. no others will be
erected. and the historic Pennsylvania
avenue will be free from these unsightly
structures. and the visiting throngs will
have IN unobstructed use of the side
walks from the capitol to the treasury.
The parade can enter the ellipse without
any break and can pass along the drive
way with their best foot foremost.

Dodge's return to New York intensi-
fed the interest. The fight to Europe
of Mrs. Gelshenen, the millionaire
widow of Morse's friend, whom the dis
trict attorney sought as witness before
the grand jury. brings the story little
closer to full revelation.
Dodge is a poor drunken fellow who
lost his means many years ago by dissi-
patton andwas divorced by his wife, who
subsequently married Morse. A New
York firm Of lawyers presently sought
out Dodge and offered him money to
come to New York and swear that the
divorce was obtained against him i'm
properly; hence that the Morse mar
rage was invalid. Professionally the
marriage was declared invalid by the
supreme court while the story was be-
ing heardbefore referee; but the turn
ing up of Mrs. Dodge's attorney in the
divorce sutt-Dodge's own lawyer was
dead-convinced the referee that Dodge
was lying. He was indicted for perjury,
and aed to Texas. There lawyer &C

sums of money were furnished him in

the same-$25, 0O0, 900 each-but Unc'
Rockefeller has a leetle the best OF 1t in

ing at the discontinue of the rival bank
was shuwn by the care his newspaper Or
gan took to "play up the Rockefeller
end" Of the story of ''Munroe & Munroe''
and their aow celebrated wash sales''
of Montreal and Boston Copper mining
stock. AS for Lawson, here was the best
kind of proof that the System" was do
ing exactly what he had accused it Of
doing.
The brothers Munroe came from Mon
treal, where they kept haberdashery
shop. Finding the sale of collars and
cuffs long road to wealth, they began
as mining brokers, but made no stir in
Montreal. Coming to New York they
fitted up beautiful offices, buying the
furniture on credit and giving the City
National bank as reference to trades
men. They formed a syndicate to
wash" a lot Of Montreal & Boston
stock and unload" it on the public.
They interested the second vice presi-
dent of the City national in the plot, and
upon the strength of his name gave out
the report that "the Rockefellers were
going into it." They took special rail-
way excursion of capitalists. some rep
resenting big houses, to see their mines.
Upon the return of the party they gave a
dinner which cost $4,000. The great
table was set about built-up represen-
tation of the mine, completein every de-
