TWO CONFERENCES SET

amendment Friday.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington May 2-The Republican mem
bers of the House of Representatives will hold
two conferences next week the first on Tues
day night and the second on Friday night. At
the Tuesday night meeting they will consider
financial legislation and at the second the ad-
visibility of other important legislation, includ-
ing amendment of the Sherman antitrust law
and the regulation of injunctions by federal
courts. will be the subject. The call for
the currency conference, signed by Repre-
sentative Hepburn chairman of the eau
Gus will be circulated Monday and no
difficulty will be experienced in obtaining a
sufficient number of signers, No subject-oIher
than the various financial bills will be con-
sidered at this conference. The leaders are
confident that a measure satisfactory to the
ma i0rity of the House can he agreed upon as
the advocates of a currency commission alone
seem to be losing ground. II is probable that
one or two minor amendments will be made to
the Vreeland bill in order to insure the sup
port of the Western and rural members who
prefer that the rate Of interest Of 4 per cent
should obtain for three months, rather than
for one month as the bill provides An
other amendment to be offered. 10 which Mr.
Vreeland has no objection. will fix geographical
limits for the proposed clearing house asso-
ciations
The holding of the financial conference has
been postponed from time to time until the end
of the debate on the sundry civil appropriation
hill could be foreseen. Chairman TaWney OF
the Committee on Appropria tions announced to-
day that vote on the bill could probably De

ANOTHER MORSE TI(TORI
Bankruptcy Proceedings 4gmnst
Former Banker TO Be Dismissed.

As result of the settlement which CharleS
W Morse the x-banker. has made with Charles
\ Hanna the receiver of the National Bank of
North America. by the terms Of which Mr., Morse
and his friends turned over to the receiver near
" S25O.O00 in cash and securities the bank
ruptcy proceedings which have been pending
against Mr.. Morse Will be dismissed.
The bankruptcy action was brought on March
13 by Mr Hanna and two former clerks in the
National Bank of North America, and The ap-
pointment Of a receiver was asked. Mr. Hanna
alleged that claims of $203.321 % against Mr.
Morse were unpaid and the two clerks alleged
that Mr. Morse had sold bank stock to them
under false pretences. This stock. they said
had been returned the seller and payment
had been demanded but refused. The giving of
preferences to the Fourteenth Street Bank and
other creditors was cited in the petition as an
act of bankruptcy
Counsel for Mr. Morse opposed the petition on
the general ground that he was not insovent
and on the specific legal ground that the peti-
tioning creditors not legally entitled to
bring a bankruptcy action. Judge Holt refused
TO appoint receiver for Mr.. Morse's estate
pending the adjudication of the case.
When the case came up for a hearing counsel
for Mr.. Morse temporary victory on tech
petitioners to amend the petition within ten
davs by paying the costs. Now that the settle
nent with the bank has been effected it is safe
10 sav that all chance of Mr.. Morse being forced
into bankruptcy has been removed for good.

COW ATTACKS BEAR,

fore He Wakes Up-They
Fight a Draw.

NEW YORK, aug. 10.-Joseph Harri-
gan. a farmer OF Huntingdon. L. l.. was
leading a COW along the East Neck road
there and met two peripatetic showmen,
who led performing bear. At sight Of
1t the cow jerked the rope from HarTi-
gan's hands and charged the bear.
The showmen jumped the nearest
fence, but the bear, accustomed To re-
celvlns candy and peanuts from chill
dren. did not know what was coming to
It, and made no preparation to receive
the cows onslaught. One of her horns
ripped the bears side Tor fourteen
inches and made 1t somewhat peevish.
Mooing triumphantly. the foolish COW
backed of and charged again. This
time the bear, with steely CLINT in its
eyes. lodged. and with both forepaws
''sIde-swiped'' the COW. It's claws
wounded her frightfully. Neither COW
nor bear seemed inclined TO renew the
encounter, so Harrigan and the show
men called il a draw and men and
beasts went their way.
