in his bank Jy Frank Morrison, sec
retary of the American Federation

enormous fund raised by that organi-

in the Darrow case the checks Nor
rison had drawn or sent to Darrow.
In brief cross examinati ton, Flather
admitted that he had consulted with
the officials of the United States De-

AKIN RESOLUTION
CALLS FOR PROBE Of
WEATHER BUREAU
New York Congressman
Says Moss Committee Has
Been Negligent.

Congressman Akin, an independent
Republican" from New York, issued a
statement today in which he expresses
impatience with the manner in which the
Moss committee Of the House has de-
layed an Investigation of the Weather
Bureau.
II believe the tardiness on the part OF
the House Committee on Expenditures
in the Department of Agriculture is due
largely to the opposing influence insti-
gated by the chief of the Weather Bu-
reau and his subordinates under his d.
rection. I have. therefore, introduced
a resolution demanding an investigation
Of the bureau by special committee In
the House."
In proposing to take the probe out OF
the lands of the Moss committee, Con-
gresham Akin charges that Willis l..
Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau,
"absents himself from his post Of duty
for long periods; that there Is wide
spread dissatisfaction with Mr.. Moore S
management of the bureau, that the
Administration Is extravagant, and that
Chief Moore is arbitrary and unfair ir
dealing with his subordinates.'
Mr.. Adkin charges that Mr.. Moore has
strenuously fought the proposed inquiry
and that this is strong evidence that
such investigation should be promptly
and effectively made"

MONEY TRUST PROBE

Chairman Pujo Blames Sem
ate for Delay In In

NEW YORK. June 6-Because the
Senate had not passed the bill giving
the House Committee on Banking and
Currency more power to investigate the
Money trust" Chairman Pujo today
announced that no testimony would be
taken at this time, or until autumn, on
the main branch OF the inquiry. Pujo
made the announcement at the outset Of
the hearing, which was begun today in
the customs house. with J. Lawrence
Laughlin. executive chairman Of the
National Civic League. as the first wit
mes. Samuel Untermyer appeared as
inquisitor for the committee, assisted
by e. H. Farrar, OF New Orleans.
Pujo said the committee now was
without power to enforce its demands,
and could not compel testimony, and 1t
was deemed advisable not to try to take
important evidence until all doubt as
to the committees power was settled.
He added:
The committee considers It inadvis-
able. in any event, to conduct this i'm
portant and far-reaching inquiry dur
ing the heat and excitement Of a politi-
cal campaign, and has not contemplated
any such course"

CHICAGO SITUATION,
IN ITS COMPLETELY,
SIZED UP BY BRYAN
Nebraskan Points Out Var
ious Dilemmas of the Re-
publican Leaders.

CHICAGO. June 6.-William Jen-
nings Bryan in an interview copy
righted by the Newspaper Enter
prise Association, today speculates
upon the outcome of the Republican
national convention, and sums up the
situation in two questions, adding a
third course which he offers as a
possibility.
He asks IL President Taft will have
the courage to use the machinery
which he controls--and II the ma
chinery will not break. He inquiries
IL Colonel Roosevelt, in case he does
not have enough delegates, will take
what he has and hold another con-
vention, nominating himself.
He sees a possibility in the Repub-
lican national committee seating
enough of the contested delegates
between the President and the former
President to deadlock the convention
and give the balance of power to La
Toilette and Cummins.
Most Exciting Ever Held.
"The Chicago convention" declared
Bryan. promises to be the most ex-
citing ever held in the history of the
country. provided of course, there is
tefore have we had a President fight
ing for a second term and a former
President pitted against him for a
third term. An inexhaustible guam
tity OF red fire is supplied for the
celebration by the fact that the con-
testants, once bosom friends. are bit
ter enemies.
"At present II looks like two concen.
tiHns, II M Taft's supporters have thd
courage To do all that is within theil
power. Whoever can answer these two
questions correctly can foretell the re.
cult At Chicago: Will President Taf,

Will Republicans Bolt?
Discussing a bolt, Bryan continues:
Suppose Mr.. Roosevelt is nominated
either by the regular convention OF b,
a convention of his own. will the Re
pubicans who oppose a third-tern
bolt? Ia their attachment to the tradi
tions Of the fathers strong enough tc
lead to an organized protest agains
Ir. Roosevelt?
Mr.. Roosevelt has studiously ignored
the third term issue. When men hav'
suggested that he wants to be President
for life-with a remainder over to hi
son-he calls them hard names. but thil
kind of evasion cannot last through
campaign. He will have to define hii
position and let the public know how
many terms he consideres proper oil
| allowable.
IF Mr. Roosevelt will add together
the votes he has received at the prt
maries, and compare the total with the
total vote in those States, he will find
that he Is woefully short of a majority
even in Republican States, and he mus
remember. too, that some who voted
for him did so not because they loved
him more, but because they loved Tai
less
