Man Claiming to Be Financier's
f Nephew Arrested on Swind-
ling Charge.

London, Sept. ia man calling
himself Gerald Morgan, and represent
ing himself to be member Of the
Harvard Rowing club and a nephew of
J. Pierpont Morgan, has been re-
manded for trial at the Greenwich po-
lice court on the charge of obtaining
fraudulently a small amount Of money
from pr. Dickey,, resident surgeon of
the Miller hospitalr Morgan signed or
ders on an American express company,
directing the payment Of $4,000 to the
hospital and promising, an annual pay
ment Of 1925 to the institution. He de-
elared the first amount to be a dona.
ton from his uncle, J. Pierpont Nor
gan, and the second from himself. At
the conclusion of this business Morgan
told DR.. Dickey he had lost his purse
and obtained from him a small sum of
money.
While he has not yet been identified
Morgan is probably the same young
American who victimized several West
End tradesmen out Of several hundred
pounds sterling last month by posing
as a member of the Harvard crew.

From President ROo'eveirs address at Raleigh
". c.. October 10, 1905,
The abuses OF which we have a genuine
right to complain take many shapes. Rebates
are not now often given openly. But they
can be given just as effectively in covert
form: and private cars. terminal tracks and
the like must be brought under the control
of the commission or administrative body
which Is to exercise supervision by the
Government.
But in my judgment the most important
thing to do Is to give TO this administrative
body power 10 make It's indings effective.
and this can be done only by giving II power.
where complaint Ia made of a given rate as
being unjust or unreasonable. II Il finds the
complaint proper, then itself to Ak a maxi
mum rate which il regards as gust and req
sonable, this rate TO go into effect practically
at once, that is. within a reasonable time, and
to stay In effect. unless reversed bD the courts.
l earnestly hope that We shall see a law
giving this power passed by Congress.

On the eve of the municipal election
in Milwaukee SHERBURN NJ. BECKER,
the young Republican candidate for
Mayor, distributed 5000 corncob pipes
and as many packages of tobacco, and
the boosted majority Of DAVID S. ROSE,
the Democratic tenant of the City Hall
for eight years, went up in smoke. Mil
waukee is a cosmopolitan city with a
strong socialistio bent, At the Presi-
dental election in 1904 DEBs received
1908 votes in the city, PARKER 1858

ried Milwaukee in the spring election of

lican total was 1903 and the Social

Under ROSES administration Milwau-
kee has been a wide open town. The
Mayor, robust, handsome and a good
mixer, built up a personal machine
which was warranted to run smoothly
during his frequent and p%rotracted alb
sences from the city. Months at a time
he was away in Arizona looking after

as Mayor was at first taken for granted.
Republican interest in the primaries
was languid. 1t was SHERIFF. BECKER's
opportunity. The young man was the
son of a rich and indulgent father, and
had dabbled in politics as Supervisor
and Alderman. As Alderman he had
saved the city $4,000 on the county
printing by "butting in Politicians

took him very seriously. When he came
out as a candidate for the Republican

But SHERIFF., as he was called, started
Becker's Bulletin, had a fire alarm signal
put in his bedroom so that he could go

himself as ex-cowboy and sportsman,

up professions and was altogether
ubiquitous, ~obstreperous and unhfraid.
He simply would not be denied, and his
name led all the rest at the primaries.
AS a candidate his methods were the
pane, only more so, and he has beaten
ROSE under the wire by a good length.
1t was a clear case of the bounce and
cheek of youth, for the public services

Council to pass it and getting the peo-
pie to vote its enforcement in part,
is going to have it revised, amplified
and modified. Then, presumably, the
referendum voting would have to be
done all over again.
If not 80 important as the vote on
these questions, the results Of the Alder
manic contests are not less interesting.
The retail and wholesale liquor interests
made a strong campaign to defeat the
Aldermen responsible for the recent
increase in the license fee from $500 to
81 900. Fifteen Of the eighteen candi-
dates opposed by the liquor men were
successful at the polls. Their constitu-
ents ratified the higher license. Unless
Chicago proves an exception, licenses
will never cost less there than they do
under the new schedule. The Chicago
saloon keepers now pay 5000 a year less
than those in Manhattan. Once in

for the ordinary taxpayer feels that the
liquor traffic is n that should be taxed

have received Q complete vindication

BECKER, politics killed DAVID s. ROSE.
He had filed the offices with his hench-
men, he had dlsregarded the law in APP
pointing as building inspector n Of his
favorites, and he had broken all records
for absenteeism except HEARsT's. Mil
waukee had to choose between a bourbon
politician, a Socialist and a bumptious
young fellow with red blood in his veins
who promised to STAY the dragon Graft
and bring in the millennium. The escape
from the experiment of socialism was
narrower than it seems from the vote
polled for WILLIAM A. ARNOLD. He was
a dangerous factor in the contest until
his opponents dinned it into the ears Of
voters that he had promised to place his
resignation in the hands Of the Social
Democratic executive committee II
elected, to take effect at its pleasure.
That finished ARNOLD as a compromise
candidate. Yet it is to be noted that the
unfaltertng Social Democrats poled the
usual vote for him.

Great Rritain,s East Trims.

To THE EDITOR OF TuE SuN-sfr: In an article
which recently appeared in THE Sun +, IS stated
that the longest regular non stop run on ans hl'
way In the world is between London and Liverpool"
20i miles, made at ftty-four miles an hour. TBS
however. Is only partly correct.
During the summer months tho Great Weston
company runs a train every day each way between
London and Plymouth, the distance being w
miles. There is no stop. and the time occupied
Is 2e2 minutes, giving a rate OF fifty six and one
third miles an hour. As a rule the time actually
occupied is several minutes within shcdnle. ana
the run between London and Exeter, nearly w
miles, is almost invariably accomplished al wei
over sixty miles an hour. 1t Is the boast Of h'
Great Western company that the average s1tei
of their trains is greater than on any other railway
system In the world.
Another hne long non stop run not men'!on'o
In your article Is that on the Great Northern, De-
tween Wakefield and London, distance 10 miles
the rate being nearly nifty six miles an hour.
The fact that Great Britain leads the world 10
fast railway runs is remarkable when II * mEea
into consideration that there is far more irs'ho o.
British roads than on American and Continental.
