Washington. Pierpont Morgan
told the money trust investigation

banks In Christendom could not form
a monopoly that would control money.
Mr.. Morgan disclaimed any knowledge
that he welded a vast power in finan-
cial circles and declared emphatically
that he sought no such power.
For nearly FIVE hours the chief wit.
ness called by the committee in its
probe Of the intricacies OF modern
finance withstood fire OF questions
that covered many phases Of financial
operation. In some respects II was

mittee's counsel. Samuel Untermyer,
the representative Of the element
which seeks to probe to the inner.

Mr. Morgan gave at length his views
on competition, operation and control
of industry and finance. particularly
the latter. He declared that he did
not mind competition. but that 'he
preferred ompetition" in his opera
tions. He was emphatic in his declar-
alton. there is no way one man can
get monopoly of money"
Mr.. Morgan gave a ready response
to questions, although there often was
battle OF wits as to the meaning
and effect Of various financial condi-
tions and operations.
The question of competition and
| combination brought lively exchange
between the noted financier and Mr..
Untermyer, the latter opening the tilt
with the suggestion that Mr.. Morgan
was opposed to competition. The wit.
ness denied this, but said he favored
cooperation" adding that he was in
no way opposed TO competition and, in
fact liked little competition" He
disagreed with the views of Mr.. Unit.

This action is taken AZ q further
evidence OF the intention OF the ad-
ministration to deal with this dell
cate and difficult situation with cir

by a promise Of prompt and adequate

the matter Of the protection Of Ameri-

erisandage Increases
Justification for this demand by the
United States government is declared
to be found In the numerous reports
to the state department from every
quarter to the general fact that condi-
tions in Mexico have grown worse
since the dispatch Of Secretary Knox's
note of protest last September and
that there has been marked increase
in brigandage and the kidnapping Of
Americans for ransom and In the levy
ing OF forced war loans by the rebels

Senator Stone OF Missouri, who is
a member OF the foreign relations
committee, issued statement In
which he expressed the opinion that
the present administration should
leave the Mexican situation "in status
quo until Governor Wilson assumes
the presidency"
The senate subcommittee on for
eign relations, which has been engag-
ed in investigating conditions along
the Mexican border, held meeting
to afford an opportunity to George
Fred Williams of Boston to lay before
1t number OF letters bearing upon
the situation. Mr.. Williams is presi-
dent OF the Los ARGOS Smelling and
Milling company, which has extensive
properties fifty miles from Toluco,
state OF Mexico. The letters present
ed were from a Mr.. Traeger, manager
Of the Los ARGOS company, and de-
scribed a condition of continued tur-
bulence and battling with bandits for
the alst four or five months. Mr..
Traeger declared the soldiers which
were sent to his assistance by the gov
ernment last November had been
withdrawn. leaving the important min
ing centers of Zacaulpa and Sultepec
and the surrounding country entirely
unguarded. He said that last August
pitched battle was fought with the
bandits in Zacaulpa in which the mine
and its buildings were bunred and
everything ruined that could not be
carried away.

BIG WATER SUIT
PUT INTO ACTION
IRRIGATORS IN LONELOCk VAL
LEY BEGIN INJUNCTION PRO-
CEEDINGS AGAINST PACIFIC
RECLAMATION COMPANY.

The litigation that has for some
dine foreshadowed the distribution
of water on the Humboldt river has
finally been preeipitated in an in
junction suit begun this week by the
combined irrigators of the Lovelock
valley against the Pacific Reclama-
ton company of Wells. 10 force the
latter company 10 raise the gates OF
their reservoir there and allow the
water 10 run down the river.
The suit is a most important one.
since il involves the right of appro-
p~riators on the lower stretches of the
river TO call a halt on the continued
appropriation of the water at the
head of the stream. 1t also will DEM
onstrate whether or not the par
ticular reclamation company have
any legal right to the water which
they claim and which they are now
taking.
One of the allegations of the Love
lock irrigators and which if borne
ont by facts. appears sufficient for
the granting of an injunction against
the Pacific Reclamation company. is
that the water now being stored by
them is of the most vital importance
to the appropriations on the lowe,
portions of the river.
This water, which requires six
weeks TO reach the Lovelock valley
is what is necessary and has always
been used for the first irrigation.
With il stored al the very head of
the river. the first irrigation will be
missing. Every drop of water now
running in the river is being appro-
priated. so that below the last diver
sion dam the river bed is dry. The
present supply IS not half sufficient
TO fiji the demand for under eontin-
uous cultivation for many years past
and in a couple of weeks at the
time the water now being stored
should reach here, great damage viii
result TO Loveloek farmers.
