CONFER OVER MORSE
GRAND JURIES STILL PROBING
HIS AFFAIRS.

NEW YORK, February 1O-While Two
grand juries-federal and county-were
investigating the tangled financial af-
fairs of Charles w. Morse today counsel
for the former banker and steamship
promoter held long conference with
Assistant District Attorney kresel. Mr.
Kresel is in active charge Of the insur-
ance and banking Investigations which
have been before the county grand jury
for some time. The representatives OF
Morse who were present at this con-
ference were Albert B. Boardman and
former Assistant District Attorney Will
liam Rand. While none of those who
took part in the conference would say
anything about the subject which had
been under discussion, it was believed
that it had to do with a further exam
ination Of Mr. Morse by the county
grand jury. MIR. Morse was twice before
that body before he started for Europe.
He is now hurrying back across the
Atlantic. and it is possible that he will
be called again soon after he lands.

DENOURCES BRYAN'S METHODS
POLITICAL SPEECH BY A NEW
JERSEY REPRESENTATIVE.
Mr.. Leake Arouses Republican Ap.
plause and Democratic Kisses
by His Remarks.

Debate on the Indian appropriation bill
under the fve-minute rule was resumed
in the House Of Representatives today. AT
the very outset politics was injected into
the proceedings when Mr.. Leake. demo-
Bryan and his methods.
Several republicans and democrats OBJ
jected because he was not speaking to the
bill. BY unanimous consent, however, he
was allowed to proceed.
Mr. Leake said he had been surprised at
the usurpation of the prerogatives of the
delegates to the Denver convention next
July. There were some men, he charged,
who believed that this was the time and
the House of Representatives the place to
nominate candidate on the democratic
ticket. and" he said, unless my silence
might be construed as an Endorsement
Of the nomination Of William J. Bryan. l
rise for the purpose OF making this pro-
test.
If" proceeded Mr.. Leake. Il adopted
the example Of Mr.. Bryan, ! would vehe-
mently condemn him, as he did the distin-
gushed 0enokrat. Grover Cleveland" "
But he would, he said, content himself
with admitting that Mr.. Bryan was hon
est. consistent and sincere. He declared.
however that Mr.. Bryans familiarity
with the decalogue better qualified him for
the pulpit than the presidency
Republican laughter greeted this utter
ance, which Immediately afterward was
supplemented by democratic Kisses when
Mr.. Leake said of Mr.. Bryan: He has
taken the big stick from the President of
these United States. and. to use his own
simiie. he is now crucifying the principles
of democracy and American individuality
and ambition on the cross of socialism -
The President thus being deprived of his
big stick Mr.. Leake declared. had resort
