ASSERTS MONEY
TRUST EXISTS
Pvjo Committee Submits Three
Reports to House.
SEVEN SIGN The MAJORITY
Chairman and Six Other Democrats
Maintain illegal Financial Com
bins 10 IN Force.

Washington, March Three di-
vergent reports were presented to the
house by the members of the commit
tee which conducted the money trust
investigation.
The majority report, signed by
Chairman Pujo and the six other Dem
ocratic members of the committee,
found that money trust exists, ac-
cording to their understanding of the
term. This report names as "the most
active agents in bringing about the
concentration of money and credit" j..
p. Morgan & Co., First National and
National City banks and Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. of New York, Lee Higginson
and Kidder, Peabody & Co. of Boston.
Two bills accompanied the report,
one forbidding the use of the mails to,
stock exchanges which fail to observe
prescribed stringent regulations as to.
the conduct of their business, and the
other prescribing rigid rules for the
conduct of national banks, their off,
GERS and clearing house associations
to which they belong. This report is
substantially In accord with the con-
clusions presented to the committee
by Samuel Untermyer, counsel.
The first minority report, signed by
Representatives Hayes of California.
Heald of Delaware and Guernsie Of
Maine, Republicans, sets forth that the
Inv Hhnc
existence of any so called money
trust" but adds, "itshas, however, dis
closed dangerous concentration OF
credit in New York city and to some
extent in Boston and Chicago"
Thinks Remedies Worthless
"While agreeing substantially with
the majority" said the report, "on
many of the abuses to be corrected in
the financial system, the stock ex-
changes and the clearing house as
sociations, the undersigned have
doubts as to the wisdom of some Of
the remedies proposed by the major
ity"
This report further sets forth the
belief that before definitely recon-
any remedial legislation tes-
timony should be taken covering more
fully the effect Of the various changes
in the laws that have been suggested.
1T is manifestly impossible" the
report concludes, that any of the
legislation can be consid-
cred by this congress and it seems
wise to leave the matter of recon-
mendation for complete remedial leg
islation to those who will be charged
with the responsibility of formulat-
ing and reporting such legislation to
congress-"
An individual minority report filed
by Representative McMorran Of Mich
igan, Republican,, was fiat, detailed
with the recommends
tions and findings of the majority.
"While I believe that attention has
been called to grave deficiencies in
our financial laws I also believe that
a sinister light has been thrown over
banking practices which was not justi-
fled by the facts; that no effort has
been made to show the reasonable
and commendable explanations Of
these practices and that in many
cases an impression has been given
to the country as to the character and
motives of leading bankers which is
unfair"

A Governor and q Pardon,

Former Gov. Patterson has withdrawn
from the senatorial race in Tennessee.
The old Cooper pardon rose up to plague
him. and no other course was left.
This Is the second time that matter
has crossed the path of Gov. Patterson $
ambition. He was obliged several years
ago to retire from a gubernatorial race
on the same account. when but for it he
would probably have been reelected, and
have retained his hold on his party's Or
ganixation. But the haste with which he
had come and the manner Of his coming,
to the relief of Col. Cooper after the lat
ter's conviction in the case of former
Senator Carmack's death put him on the
defensive before the people. and success
at the polls was impossible.
The pardons issued by a governor live
after him. II well considered they help
him. II Ill considered they Plague him,
as this Cooper pardon plaques Gov. Pat
terson. The loss of governorship and a
senatorship is a heavy penalty to pay for

Sufragettes.

oh. suffragette will suffer
And you need not try to bluff her
With remarks about her being out OF
place.
The ballot she will better
She will hand-paint every letter
Till it proves work of rare artistic
grace.
1t is true that some are dashing
Madly in for window smashing,
And we tremble at reports from far
away.
But the ladies bent on voting
We are happy to be noting.
Manage matters better in the u. S. A.
When they go about campaigning
They don't start in with complaining
That a man is nothing but "a horrid
brute"
1t is such an easy matter
His intelligence to fatter
Till he thinks he's very wise and
something cute.
While they're mighty in convention,
They can also claim attention
By smile and by a twinkle of the eye
They don't make ferocious speeches
They're not lemons. They are peaches
And no doubt they'll all b voting
by and by.

The case was unusual fractional pol

Col. Cooper was the warm personal friend
and political supporter of Gov. Patterson.
Mr. Carmack, an able and aggressive
man, had been the opponent Of both. Col.
Cooper and Mr.. Carmack had settled their
difficulty with pistols, and here was the
survivor threatened with stripes for his
part in the tragedy.
Under the pressure of friendship. Gov.
Patterson used his pardoning power. He
saved Col. Cooper from the penitentiary,
but at the expense of his personal and
political popularity in many quarters. A
strong sentiment in the state condemned
the governors action. and apparently still
condemns it.
Gov. Patterson is one CT the brilliant
men of Tennessee-the most brilliant of
the number. his friends assert. He is a
lawyer and an orator of high-class. and
comes of distinguished stock. His father.
who represented the Memphis district in
the House during the second Cleveland
administration. was one of the solid men
Of that body while he remained. The son
is comparatively young. and got an early

1t may be. therefore. that notwithstand-

Cooper pardon, Gov Patterson may yet
come again If his opponents are stead
