Two of Them Are Adopted by the
Secate

Washington, JAM 10.-The senate
during the day adopted two resolutions
of inquiry One of them authorizes
an investigation by the committee on
interoceanic canals into the general
conduct of the affairs of the Panama
canal and the other an inquiry by the
finance committee into the question of
the exchange rate on money on the
Isthmus The first resolution was re-
ported from the canal committee by its
chairman, Mr. Willard, and the second
is the resolution presented Monday by
Mr.. Bailey with the provision relative
to the sale of the Panama railway
bonds omitted. The remainder of the
open session was devoted to a speech
by Mr.. Morgan on the railway rate
question. He advocated the settle
ment of all differences over rates in
the courts according to common law
methods as calculated to do away with
much awkwa machinery.

STATEMENT BY DR.. MORRIS.
In Regard to His Wife's Election From
White House.

i Washington, Jan. DIR. Minor
Morris, whose wife was elected from
the White House last Thursday, at
night gave out public statement in
which he severely arraigns those re-
sponsible for her removal, denounces
the imposition of fine in her case as
adding to her humiliation, and replies
to the statement of her brother, Repre-
sentative Hull of Iowa, regarding the
will and codicil of her father. The
statement is addressed Ito whom it
may concerrs" and begins as follows:
"a woman of the highest culture, of
the rarest attainments, who has de-
voted her life to her homo, her family
and her ideals, whose only thought
has been to do good, and who has al
ways considered others before herself,
wife and mother-has been seized
from behind, in the waiting room
of the White House, and NAL
treated, with a brutality which hui
manity would revolt at seeing accorded
to its lowest type. The details of this
sickening thing, unnameable, are
known to the whole country"
DR.. Morris alleges that an effort was
made to hold Mrs. Morris at the house
of detention until his arrival two days
later, to make sit appear that she was
friendless and insane" He says that
the physicians sent to examine her
manifested their Indignation and that,
AS 1T became dangerous to press the
insanity charge, she stands today re-
corded as The disturber of the peace to
the extent of five dollars"
DR.. Morris says his wife did not
scream until ''the violent seizure by
secret service men surprised her with
the command to come on" The
statement makes sarcastic illusions to
Assistant Secretary Barnes.
The question of the disputed will is
then taken up and the expressions
given out by Representative Hull in
recent interviews denounced as for
getful of the most sacred relationships
of life lin the hour of her crucifixion"

THE WORST Is OVER.
General Uprising In Russia impossible
Before Spring.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 10.-The success
which thus far has attended the cam
paign against the violent revolution
lists has plainly encouraged the belief
that the worst is over for the winter
except in the Baltic provinces, the
Caucasus and the Bon Regio, where
the prevailing anarchy is likely to con
tinue indefinitely. Some semblance
of order is being gradually restored to
the empire. The socialists and revo.
lutionists stoutly maintain that the
present lull is only truce over the
holidays and from mysterious hiding
places the leaders continue issuing or.
derS to refuse all compromise with i'm.
perialism, to boycott the national as
sembly and to prepare for a great
armed insurrection. The government,
however, processes confidence that the
revolutionists will not quickly recover
the loss Of strength and prestige which
they have suffered. Disorders on a
small scale and acts of terrorism are
expected to continue and something in
the nature of a general demonstration
is anticipated Jan. %, but a great up
rising in the immediate future is re.
garded in government circles as i'm.
possible. The next real crisis is not
expected until the national assembly
meets or the spring sets the peasants
in motion.
The constitutional Democrats are
holding a convention at Terjioki, Fin
land, to discuss their future plans, and
representatives of the Law and Order
party, which claims to have over ZOO
900 members, met in ST. Petersburg.
This party favors a broad regime of
freedom based on the participation of
all citizens irrespective of creed or
race in a certain degree of local gov
eminent
The personal escort of the emperor
has been increased by a squadron of
Cossacks composed of picked men
chosen from the entire Cossack force
throughout the empire.
Martial law has been declared at
Ekaterinodar, South Russia; Sunny, in
the government of Kharkoff; Novorros-
sysk,, on the east coast of the Black
sea; Yuzoyka, on the north shore of
the Sea of Azov, and Sniela, in the
government of Kieff.

GAYNoR AND GREENE TRIAL.
To Begin This Week in Federal Court
in Georgia.

Savannah, Ca, Jan. 8.-The CAGES
against John F. Gaynor, Benjamin d
Greene, William Gaynor, Edward Gag,
nor and Former Captain Obelin Carte;
will be called in the United States
court for the Southern district OF
Georgia on Jan. 8. The defendants
are charged with having defrauded the
United States government out of soma
$4,000, 900 in the carrying out OF Savan-
nah harbor contracts.
Attorneys Carrad, Meldrim, Os.
borne and Lawrence of this city repre-
sent the defendants and J. B. Gaynor
of New York city, an attorney and
brother of the defendant, Gaynor, is
also here.
It is the hope of the defendants that
jurors may be secured from this di
vision of the district, their idea being
to obtain jurors who may in some
measure be familiar with parts of the
work. The summoning of the jurors
will consume several days.
1t is admitted by the special United
States attorney general that Former
Captain Carter will not be brought to
trial again and there is speculation as
to whether or not William and Ed
ward Gaynor will be tried. It is pos.
sible that the indictments against
them will be dismissed and that John
F. Gaynor and Greene will be the sole
defendants.
