Certain democratic newspapers Ut

ngiy things about the territory's na

saying. for illustration. that the native
voters are too ignorant To exercise
the right of suffrage wisely. and that
they ought TO be placed In the same
category with the negroes at tho
south and also ought to he accorded
the same treatment. These are not
nice things to say about the larger

BROKER FACED
FINANCIAL RUIN
SUICIDE Believed DUE TO
MONEY TROUBLES
Property Left by Will to His Little
Nephew Discovered to Have
Been Surrendered on
Mortgages

The examination of the affairs of
William c. Morgan, who committed
suicide at the Hotel Leonide several
days ago, indicates that Morgan, who
was senior member of the brokerage
firm OF Morgan & Martin, took his life
owing to an approaching financial
crisis OF his PERSONAL estate, rather
than as a result of love troubles, as
had at first been surmised.
Morgan left will, of which he ap-
pointed his friend, John Fox, the exc
cutor, assigning all his possessions to
his 9-year-old nephew, Horace G. Or
cutt, who is living on a ranch In Colo
RADIO. The property disposed Of in the
will, however, Is found to have been
long ago surrendered on mortgages
and although Morgan is said to have
left no liabilities he had nearly reached
the limit OF his resources 1t is be-
lieved by his friends that he committed
suicide to escape the inevitable debt
and poverty that are staring him in
the face.
A business associate of Morgan said
that since June / Morgan had lost
over $1,000 H. mining and other invest
ments, about which he had worried q
great deal and often bewailed his mis-
fortune
Morgan's body, which now lies at
Bresee Bros Undertaking parlors, win
be Inferred next Tuesday and a fund
is being subscribed by his friends for
the purpose of meeting the funeral ex-
penses. Mrs. zeta Cottrell, who Is said
70 be his flancee contributed generous
