fuses to Talk of Her
Action.

HAMILTON, o.. Jan. 5.-Dr Minor Nor
ris. husband of the woman elected from
the White House yesterday while she was
demanding to see the president is working
on the farm Of his brother near here. He
came there last fall Neither DR.. Morris
nor the family would make any statement
today
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Mrs Minor Nor
rs, who yesterday was elected from the
White House after insisting upon seeing
the president, today is in state of nerv-
Gus collapse. In response to inquiries she
sent word by a near friend that, although
she felt keenly the humiliation to which
she had been subjected. she proposed to
allow the matter to drop. The further in
forma ton was conveyed that her husband
Dr. Morris, will reach here tomorrow from
Ohio. Mrs. Morris was charged in the
police court today with disorderly conduct
Instead OF appearing for trial, however
she did not answer to her name, and the
S collateral which was put up for her at
the house of detention was declared for
feited
In a statement made today by Assistant
Secretary b. =. Barnes at the White House
concerning the ejectment of Mrs. Morris
yesterday from the executive Offices MI
Barnes stated that after Mrs. Morris ar
rest she produced an envelope, addressed
to the president. which she asked to have
delivered to him. This envelope was found
TO contain lengthy poem on the subject
OF insomnia, which she said was her own
composition. She stated to the officers
that she had not slept for seven nights
past The statement concludes as follows.
There is no truth whatever in tho state
ment made by many Of this mornings pa
pers that negro laid hold of Mrs. Morris
and assisted in carrying her. one of the
colored messengers OF the Office followed
the policemen and gathered up such small
articles as We're dropped in the womau's
struggles, but there was no other fouuda-
ton whatever for the statement"

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.--The taking Of tes-
timony in two suits brought by the state
of Missouri TO GUST the Standard oil COM
pany OF Indiana. the Waters-Plerce OIL
company and the Republic Oil company
from Missouri and prevent the carrying
out of an alleged pooling agreement among
the companies mentioned was begun here
today before Frederick w. Sanborn spe-
cial commissioner appointed by Governor
Folk Herbert s. Hadley, attorney general
OF Missouri conducted the states case and
attempted to show from the witnesses in
PRODUCED that the Waters Pierce and Re-
public companies were In reality but sub
sidary concerns of the Standard Oil COM
pany, the Indiana branch of which con-
duets the Standards business I'm the west
During today's hearing there were
number of lively, ults between opposing
lawyers, one resulting in a demand by the
attorneys for the defendant companies
that the testimony be taken down verbatim
in long hand b. the commissioner. Attor-
ney General Hadiey agreed to this, saying
that he could remain at the hearing as
long any one else.
This tedious method Of recording the tes-
timony permitted of the examination OF but
two witnesses today. One or these was r.
T. Bedford. a receiver for the Standard oil
company. who refused absolutely to answer
any questions involving the Standard oil
companys affairs. He said he took the
attitude upon the advice at counsel and
had no other reason for doing So The other
witness was A. V. Jockel formerly book
keeper for the Standard Oil company, who
said he was transferred to the Waters
Pierce company's once at Oklahoma City
without resigning his place with the Stan
dard. He said he had been instructed to
say the Waters Pierce company was an
Independent concern, but declared Waters
Pierce barrels were filled with oil from
STANDARD barrels
Attorney General HadleV said he would
report recalciuHnt witnesses to the SUI
preme court and allow that tribunal to deal
with them. The hearing will proceed to-

schiT Explains His Plan.

When Jacob H. Schif was informed this
afternoon that his plan has been criticised
as mpra cticable he said that perhaps he
had not made himself thoroughly under
stood
He said ne had no idea of trying to in
fate the currency by issuing paper money
against the commercial paper already in
the banks, but his idea merely to
make more secure the plan already advo-
Gated by Secretary Shaw.
Mr.. Shaw's plan, he said, was proposal
to let each national bank issue 80 per cent
more currency than It now issued without
any security whatever.
Mr.. Schiff said he merely wished to have
that extra 80 per cent of currency secured
by the commercial paper in the banks.
Mr.. Schiff adds that he would not try ia
work out the details of the general plan
he had i'm mind. But he reiterated that un-
less some sound scheme of stretching the
currency in times of need were found by
the national government the next panic
would be disaster--worse than the United
States ever before experienced.

continued Mr.. Gage My views today are
views which | have entertained a long
whie-views which are embodied in re-
ports made by me as secretary of the
treasury and in bills already offered in
congress. l believe the work of securing
proper legislation to relieve the present
circulation conditions is u high public duty
of the presidcnt-a very high duty"
Frank A Vanderlip, vice president of the
National City bank, said today he believed
Mr. Schif's speech had no application to
the immediate situation. Had Mr.. Schin
thought" said Mr.. Vanderlip. that there
was any present danger he certainly would
not have regarded this as an appropriate
time to call public attention to that danger.
He is undoubtedly right that in some time
our illogical currency system will cause
trouble. 1t has caused trouble in the last
six weeks. but the indications are that the
trouble is about over"
A. Barton Hepburn. president of the
Chase National bank and former comp
troller Of the currency, criticised Mr.
Schiffs plan as being impracticable and
unsafe.
Certainly something has TO he done,
lie added. I'VE have no government bank

ing present conditions must be found"
