EDWARD MORRIS DIES.
Head of Big Packing Firm Succumbs
to Long Illness.

Chicago. Nov. 3.-Edward Morris,
president of Morris q Co., packers,
died at his home today after an illness
of more than a year.
He was born in Chicago At years
ago and was the eldest son of the late
Nelson Morris. pioneer packer. He
suffered nervous breakdown about
year ago and was obliged to give
up active business. He spent last
winter travelling in California in search
of health but when he returned last
spring his friends noted that he had
not been benefited by the trip.
The seriousness OF his condition be-
came known last week on the arrival
OF his brother, Ira Nelson Morris, who
hurried to Chicago from Italy in re-
is survived by his widow. two sons and
two daughters. Edward Morris was a
multimillionaire and one of the best
known meat packers in the world.
In the will of the late Nelson Nor
ris, the building of the vast Morris
fortune was attributed largely to the
genius and energy of the eldest son
Edward, who began his business ca
reer at an age when most of his COM
panions were barely out Of knicker-
bockers. The wealth held by Edward
Morris 10 estimated at between $780,
100000 and $5O,OOO,OOO. He was
credited with being the largest indiv-
idual owner of bank stock in this city.
He was a liberal contributor to char
tiles. Young Morris was only IA years
old when he entered the office of his
father as an employee.
Mr.. Morris married Helen L. Swift
daughter of the founder Of Swift &
Co.. meat packers, in 1890.
After the death of Nelson Morris in
1907. it was found that his will put
the management of the entire estate
into the hands of Edward Morris as
managing trustee. The estate was to
be tied up for 20 years, remaining
undisturbed and entirely under the
management of the managing trustee
The value Of the estate was declared
authoritatively to be between $40, 0,O0O.-
900 and $50,O00.0OO. including prop
critics outside the estate. When the
will was probated property in this
state was estimated at $2O,0O0.O00.
The plan of the elder Morris was
not carried out, as the heirs other
than Edward retained counsel to con-
test the will and a compromise was
reached, under terms of which the
estate was divided into five equal
parts, one each going to the widow
and the four children The two big
Morris stockyards properties by the
division fell to Ira Morris and his
two sisters. but Edward bought them

Dissolution Is Asked.
Edwin p. Grosvenor. special assistant
to Attorney General McReynolds in
opening final argument, asked for dis
solution in such manner as to prevent,
effectively, possibility of two or more
of the disinterested parties coming into
ownership of companies having COM
mon stockholders.
Mr.. Grosvenor declared the Interna-
tional company is in and Of itself q
combination in restraint Of trade in
harvesting implements and q monopoly
and as such proper safeguards should
be made by the courts to prevent pos
sible re-esta blishment of such monopo-
ly after dissolution by the board of
interlocking directorates.
Mr.. Grosvenor pointed out how the
supreme court had applied the stand

decided since the court established the
rule In the Standard Oil and tobacco
decisions. holding every combination
unlawful that smothers competition
and monopolizesy trade. The govern

to the power Of the combination, Its

Its conduct toward competitors.

Preserving Order.

Indianapolis Nov. 3.-No effort was
made up to noon today to resume
street car service, which has been
tied up since Friday night by the
strike of the employees of the In
company. Although a special guard
of police was detailed to guard strike
breakers. the crowds of strikers and
sympathizers flocked SO thickly near
the Louisiana street car barns that
the cars were not run out. The
crowd kept orderly and quiet. but
remained on watch a block from the
barns.

When the striker sympathizers discov-

The gates Tor the locks We're con-

strpction company of Pittsburgh uu-
der the inspection of the commission.
This concern in 1913 had more than
5000 men at work and was rushing

agreed upon for their completion. I'm

There are forty-slx gates in all
twelve locks. with two leaves to the

are from forty-seven to eighty-on feet
high, are seven feet thick and weigh

steel plates riyeted on heavy girders.
These gates will be opened and shut
to permit the entrance or egrcss OF
ships by electrical apparatus.
As 95 per cent Of the vessels in the
world are less than COO feet long it
would be q great waste of water and

are being constructed which will per
