EUROPE FEARS MORGAN.
His Power is a Menace to the World,
Says German.

New York.-Continued extension
of j. Pierpont Morgan's tremendous
power in the financial world has be-
come the principal subject of dis
cussion In banking circles In Europe
and America, and experts are busy
trying to figure out what 1t means.
They agree that the colossal centrali-
cation now going on will exercise
upon financial America an influence
that thrills the Imagination with its
immensity.
The Morgan influence covers in
stitutions and enterprises having as
sets and capitalization of twelve bill
lions of dollars, equal to one-ninth
the wealth of the United States.
Gross earnings of the railroads con
trolled or partly fiDanced by the
House Of Morgan, represent one-third
the gross earnings of all the rail-
roads In the United States.
The banking power" Of banks and
trust companies controlled wholly or
in part of the House Of Morgan is
10.7 per cent OF the banking pow
er" of all the banks and trust COM
panies in the United States.

A FREE SHOW IN THE Senate
Howling Dervish in a Farce of
One Act
HIS THUNDER DEVELOPS IN FROST
Bitter Attack Upon Confederate Flag
and Uniform Finds Not an As.
senting Voice and Received
Silent Contempt.

MISUNDERSTANDING against
loaning government tents for the
use of the Confederate Veterans at
their annual reunion in Mobile, Ala,
next April, Senator Hepburn, of
Idaho, in the senate Monday made
the sharpest comment upon issues
of the civil war that has been heard
In congress in twenty years.
He inveighed against men in ere
her' uniforms being permitted to
occupy government property, or the
rebel" flag being allowed to float
above it. Finally he drifted into
the question of honoring men by
placing their statutes in the congress
sional hall Of fame and by unmis-
taxable inference condemned the ac-
tions Of Virginia in sending the sta
tutes of Gen Robt. E. Lee to Wash
ington.
"Ttake 1t way and worship 1t, II
you please" he thundered. "but do
not intrude upon the people who do
not want it,"
Democratic senators moved un-
easily about the floor conversing
with each other or sat, frowning and
angered, listening to the speech,
which continued for nearly an hour.
Finally when Senator Hepburn had
concluded, Senator Bankhead said:
81 am sure the senator from Idaho
feels much better and I ask for a
vote"
"By roll CALL" shouted a dozen or
more senators and hands went up
in second to that request in every
part of the chamber.
When the vote was had on the
tent loaning measure, all OF the
Democrats and all of the Republi-
cans expect Mr.. Hepburn voted for
1t. His negative vote was uttered
in a loud and defiant tone.
The senate had been drowsily con-
sidering It's regular calendar during
the greater part Of the day and
when, towards the close OF the ses-
sion, for everything else had been
disposed of, this measure was reach
ed in It's regular order. Mr.. Hey
burn was prompt to raise an objec-
ton, and Mr.. Bankhead just as al
ert in moving the consideration, re-
gardless of the objection.
1t was evident that the objection
had aroused some feeling, for with
flushed face, and animated voice,
Mr.. Bailey, who sat near Mr.. Bank
head, declared that If this measure
was to be ruled out or order busi-
ness could be transacted.
The Bankhead motion, being un-
debatable, the senate Immediately
proceeded to an eye and nay vote
on the question as to whether the
resolution should be taken up and
1t was adopted unanimously, himself
refraining from voting.

FOOD QUIZ THORN IN SIDE.
Leaders in Congress Fear q Boom
erang.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the Senate
and House will conduct rival investi-
cations into the cause Of high cost
OF necessaries of life Is a question
that concerns the Republican politi-
cal leaders more deeply than any 9TH
er problem now before congress.
If both bodies conduct such. an ex-
animation they fear that different
conclusions may be reached and that
such differing reports on the eve of
the congressional elections would be
likely to prove embarrassing to the
Republican majority.
Nevertheless the Republicans Of
the Senate apparently are deter
mined to order such an inquiry and
conduct 1t with the utmost dispatch,
regardless of the view of the House
leaders on the subject.

JURY UNABLE TO AGREE.
Refused to Consider Testimony OF
Warriner in Ford Case.

Cincinnati, O.-After twenty-four
hours deliberation, the jury in the
case of Mrs. Jeanette Stewart Ford,
charged with blackmailing Charles l..
Warmer, defaulting local treasurer
of the Big Four Railroad, was unable
to reach an agreement and was dis
charged.
The somewhat unusual end of the
sensational case was explained by
two Jurors as due to the fact that
the majority of their colleagues re-
fused to give any consideration to the
testimony of Warmer. They assert
ed that a man who had confessed to
embezzling for twenty-five years
would not hesitate to perjure himself
against a woman whom he believed
had been the cause of his exposure.
