euioDE's NOTE sLAMEs
 NEWSPAPER FOR HIS ACT
Prominent Baltimore Business Man
 Ends Life With Gas.

Baltimore, Sept 17-George c. Mor- rison, president of. the Title Guaran- tee & Trust Co. of this city, com- mitted suicide some time last night in one of the private rooms at the Balt1- more Athletic club. The report made by tho police says that he ended his life by gas, which he inhaled through tube.
 MT. Morrison was about 40 years old and married. He occupied conspicu- ous position in the business and pol1t- ical affairs of Baltimore, and also was prominently interested in horse racing. He left note explaining the deed. The coroner took possession of it, and while refusing to make all of 1t pup lie, at this time, he said that the dead man referred to newspaper publicity given to his interest in the racetrack at Havre de Grace as one reason for hls action.
 The portion of the note given out said: "I am in trouble only to my God. He knows whether it is just for the self-effacing work of years to be set at naught by the onslaughts or 2 yellow newspaper, against Whlcn there is no defence"
 The suicide of Mir. Morrison came within few days of accusations made
 
 ough that Morrison and other leaders in the social life of Harford county had made misrepresentations concern ing a Harford county racing bill in the legislature. In a public statement the governor said that had not he been deceived by the statements of Mr. Morrison and other prominent men he would not have signed the bill which allows racing in Harford coun- ty.
 c. A. Fairbanks, vice president of the Title Trust & Guarantee Co.,, of which MT. Morrison was president said officially that there was nothing wrong in MT. Morrisons relations with the company. MT. Morrison was also first vice president of the Baltimore Trust Co., and connected with many other business institutions. The communication retained by the coroner was later made public. It was addressed to "the public" and was devoted to an explanation of MT. Morrison's connection with the liar ford county racing bill. It said that MT. Morrison was influenced only by | a desire to serve certain friends in Hartford, who had a county fair prop erty there, and wished to hold race ] meetings in connection with the fair. | He thought that under the bill 1t
 would be impossible to operate out
 law" racing, and he believed the con- struction of any new tracks under the law extremely unlikely. In all his life, he said, he had never been of | fered graft as such and he had never
 made a dollar out of sport of any | kind.
 | The letter indicated plainly that the writer had worried over the connec- tion of his name with the race track matter.
 | In other letters was one addressed
 to his wife and another to Dr. George
