 (Contfnued from Page One.) -------- expressed by several friends and Gov ernor Conner at once offered to Judge Sayre and Judge Chiffon. nephews of Senator Morgan, who are citizens of Montgomery, the usage of the Capitol |. On account of the arrangements al- ready made for the funeral. however, the plan was not thought feasibe and was not adopted.
 Whether members of the Alabama National Guard will accompany the body to Selma will be determined all together by the wishes of the mem- bers of General Morgan's faRily. Ad- jutant General Bibb Graves" said last night that no advice had as yet been received and that until information from the family in Washington had
 been gotten 1t would be impossible to know what would be done.
 The tribute to Senator Morgan paid | by Hon. Thomas G. Jones, judge oi | the Federal Court. was notable. In the | opening of the court for the hearing | of the litigation subsequent to the pas sage of the railroad rate bills by the Legislature. Judge Jones spoke brief I ly and feelingly of Senator Morgan as | a man and as a patriot, and at the | conclusions of his remarks, which were heard in impressive silence by the | counsel and the spectators in the court announced that adjournment would bt | taken fora the day of the funeral oi | General Morgan in Selma.
 Judge Jones said;
 "Wnen the hearing of these mat | ters was sent for today, we little
 thought it would call us together on l the morning of the announcement of
 the death of Alabama's great senator
 and citizen. All of us wish to pay | the last tributes of respect to his
 memory, and the court will adjourn on
 the day of his funeral, that we may
 do so.
 l This is not a fit occasion to utter
 the thoughts which come to mems | minds in contemplating his life and
 character. I we'll recall the last time
 saw him in Washington, over a year ago. We were friends, and he talked | freely in the Intimacy of such rela- tion. of his past public service, and
 what he hoped to do in the few days
 which might remain to him. Going to his bookcase, he took down a volume. | which was surprised to find he kept
 in his library. and read aloud to me | this sentence: The public servant | who fails to act as his conscience dic- | tates for fear that considerations
 which commend themselves to him. | will not meet the approval of the peo- | ple mistrusts those who trust him: | ard in setting up higher standards of
 right and morality for himself than
 he accords to the people. the represen- l tative often unwillingly betrays their
 best interest" He said he had always | followed that rule.
 It Is not surprising. therefore. thai
 he frequently led rather~than follow | ed the popular opinion of the hour.
 and sometimes resolutely set his face
 against 1t. From the beginning of 1 his career the people instinctively re-
 cognized the guiding principles which shaped his course. as their represen- l tatiye. It was their abiding faith in l the splendid integrity and unselfish-
 ness of his motives. as we'll as love
 for his charming personality. and
 pride in his noble gifts. which made 1 them decree that he should die in 1 harness and will hereafter couple with his memory the lastin gbenedic- tions of the people"
 Exactly what plans, have been made l for the funeral In Selma has not been announced. Senator Morgan's home was in Selma, but as he has not been there in sometime. it Is probable that 1 his body will lie in the Church Street Methodist Church. of which he was a member, from the arrival of the spec ial train until noon, the hour of the | funeral
