HULL'S 'SSTATEMENT
IN MORRIS CASE
No Reference Is Made to
White House Incident.
DEALS WITH FAMILY QUARREL
Husband Of Mrs. Morris saws That
the Congressman Deity
Avoided the Issue.

The affair growing out OF the election
OF Mrs. Minor Morris from the White
House or Thursday afternoon has taken
or "a new phase. Representative Hull Of
Iowa. brother Of Mrs. Morris. yesterday
afternoon issued a statement which at
lFaeted wide attention hy reason of the
fact that il gage no consideration TO
the = hite House incident aed consisted
Of "a lengthy defense of himself against
the charges by his sister affecting his
administration Of the estate OF their
father.
Mrs. Morris husband came 90 Wash
inEton yesterday from the!r nome in
Chic. and al once joined rs wife AT the
New Willard. where Mrs. Morris 'tiI Is.
in q condition of nervous collapse. con-
sequenJ on her White House experience.
Her condition. it is stated, is in no
wise such as 10 occasion concern.
Suggestive Reply.
Following The issuance OF Represen-
tative Huirs statement. Mr Morris.
after examining IT, Issued this senten-
tious and suggestive reply:
The statement OF Mr. Hun 10 the
public does not deal with the real facts
II deftIy avoids them. The present issue
is the outrage perpetrated on Mrs.
Morris at the White House. The other
matters can be taken up at the proper
time"
When Mr.. Hull's statement was given
out from his committee room at the
Capitol late yesterday afternoon there
was intense interest IN H. 1t was
known for some time before its issuance
that II was 10 be made public. The
expectation was that It would deal with
the affair at the White House Prior
10 its issuance no serious attention had
been given to the charges by Mrs Nor
ris against the Congressman and his
conduct of the Hull family estate
When. therefore, copies Of the Hull
statement We're given to the press and
IT became known that It was devoted
almost exclusively TO a defense against
the charges Of Mrs. Morris against Mr.
Hull. these charges took on new in
terest. The affair was the one topic of
discussion about the Capitol. Whether
any further steps viii be taken in the
matter. and what they may be, is only
matter of conjecture.

The quickest way to picture smoke
less powder Is to dismiss all ideas Of
the ordinary black gunpowder so IA

modern powder is not black, but the
shade Of dark amber.
In the sense of a powder being a
finely divided solid, smokeless powder
is no powder at all. 1t consists Of a
waxlike composition, the size Of the
grains varying according to the cali
bres Of the guns for which they are de-
signed.
For use in revolvers, rifles and sport
ing guns the grains resemble the tiny
perforated glass beads Of the sort
used in old time needlework. For the
machine guns, the rapid fire guns and
the heavy rifles of battleships and
forts. the grains are cylindrical in
shape. varying in size from a third of
an inch in diameter and half an inch
in length to three-fourths Of an inch
indiameter and about two inches in

FAIR PLAYA group Of drummers
were trading yarns on the subject OF
hospitality, says Lippincott's Maya
zine, when one of them took up his
parable thus:
"I was down in Louisiana last month
travelin' cross country when we kinder
got lost in a lonesome sort Of road just
about dark, and when We saw light
ahead / tell you it looked first rate.
We drove up to the light, findin twas
a house and when / hollered the man
came out and we asked him to take US
in for the night. He looked at us
mighty hard, then said, Wall, reckon
/ kin stand 1t II you kim

twas only a two-room shanty and
Just swarmin' with children. He had
six from four to 'leven years old, and
as there didn't seem to be but one bed,
me an Stony was wonderin' what In
thunder would become of US.
They gave US supper, and then the
the old woman put the two youngest
kids to bed. They went straight to
sleep. Then she took those out, laid
them over in the corner, put the next
two to bed, and so on. After all the
children were asleep on the floor the
old folks went in the other room and
told us we could. go to bed If we want
ed to, an bein' powerful tired out, we
did.
We'll. sir. the next morning when
we woke up we was lying over in the
corner with the kids, and the old man
and the old woman had the bed!"

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR 'RASrUs.-At
recent dinner which was attended by
a number of clergynen, says the New
York Sun, President Buckham Of the
university of Vermont, told the follow
ing of Bishop Hall. Of the Episcopal
diocese of Vermont, in response to
some good -natured chaff about the
liberal views Of the Congregational
church and the ease with which almost
anybody could join 1t.
He said he had heard Of a negro who
had many times applied for membership
in st. Paurs church at Burlington. but
had not been able to satisfy the bishop
that his state Of mind entitled him to
admission. The negro had been advised
to pray that his spiritual condition
might improve.
After doing so he made new apph-
cation. The bishop said to him:
well, Erastus, have you prayed as
l told you to-"
"Yes, indeedy, sub; done prayed,
an l done told de Lawd wants jine
St. Paurs chu'ch, an de Lawd he say
to me:
