MORRIS AGAIN ON STAND.
Cross-Exan1ned by Attorney for the
Government.

Government.
Chicago, Feb. Edward Morris,
vice president of the Fairbank Can
ming company, took the stand again
when the packers case was opened
He testified to some small matters
on direct examination and was then
turned over to the district attorney
for cross-examination.
Mr.. Morrison asked the witness if
he had talked with the other witnesses
as to what his testimony would be-.
The witness denied that he had done
so.
Are you director of the National
Packing company"
All OF the attorneys employed by
the packers at once objected to draw
ing the name Of the National Packing
company into the case because that
company is not defendant in the
case. Attorney George W. Brown de-
clared the purpose of the question was
to develop material for the trial on
the main issue.
The question was admitted and Mr.
Morris replied that he was director
of the company. Inquiry as to the
other directors was ruled out by the
court.
When YOU first met Commissioner
Garfield why were you not willing to
turn the books over?" asked Attorney
Morrison.
Il didn't want to do it unless | had
TO do it. There was an injunction
against u.s.
WAS there anything in those books
TO show you had violated that injunc-
tion?"
A chorus of objections greeted this
question and it was ruled out by the
court.

drugs, often caused torture to those
who were treated. 1t is claimed that
boots were sold to millionaires at
prices ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
In court the prisoners were held in

A man, 80 years old, he called
upon the fates and cursed them for
their abuse of him. He abused his
wife. The fine apartments the cou-
pie occupied in the handsome Pier
repent hotel were the scene OF bit
ter quarrels.
After reverses comes desperation
according to tenderloin ethics. Nos
ser was confined to his home with
an acute attack of neuralgia. He
refused to be comforted by his wife
and sent for his mistress, who lived
in expensive apartments at the
Baltimore hotel, nearby. She came
and there was long quarrel.
Openly he told Estelle that he
loved her The wife was violently
indignant. And Estelle? Oh, she
told Nosser that he must chose be-
tween her and his wife. If his wife
then she, Estelle, would sail for Eu-
rope.
In the midst of the quarrel, Nos.
ser fell writhing to the floor. He
had drained a bottle of laudanum.
Strangely the two women be-
came friends in nursing him. The
doctor pumped Nosser out and the
women tenderly cared for him.

THE INHERITANCE TAX.

One of the presidents pet projects
upon which he may be expected to
work overtime, is the bill he purposes
to have introduced in congress pro-
viding an inheritance tax. on similar
lines, it may be presumed, to the law
that last year brought S122,000,000 in
to the British treasury. The prospects
for the passage of such a law are adj
mittedly good before the COM
ing congress and it is prob
able that this winter will see
it. enacted. It is the beginning
of restraint on vast family accumula-
tons, check on the building up of a
money dynasty like the Rockefeller
billion and the prospective billion that
lies only few years ahead of the Mar
shall Field trust fund 1t is an adnis-
sion of the generally accepted truth
that the great fortunes, administered
by one man or in the interests of one
family are a serious menace to the
country.
That tax will be laid so severe as
to prevent the accumulation of large
fortunes is neither to be expected nor
at present to be desired 1t is not cal-
culated to repress ambition or deny
opportunity. Men will grow rich UNI
der the inheritance tax as they have
grown rich without it. But the govern
ment will profit by the thrift and toll
and talent of the man to whom lib
eral government gave opportunity and
protected him while he took advantage
of the chance afforded him. The state
will take back part Of what it gave
in profusion. What future legislation
may do is in the hands Of the wealthy.
If wealth remains predatory and re-
pacious it may expect further re-
strictions. Acceptance is growing of
the statement that no man should be
permitted to control living property
after he. is dead.
