MORGAN ABROAD TO
ESCAPE A SUMMONS
Especial to The Argus. J

New York, Feb. 16.-Did ]. P. Nor
gan go across the ocean to avoid being
required to testify before the investi-
eating committee proposed by Con-
gresham c. H. Tavenner of Illinois?
Mr. Morgan is a director of the
Navy league, and Representative Tav-
enner has resolution before con-
gress which would require the direc-
tors of this organization to testify I'M
der oath whether they own stock in
war trafficking firms, and to what ex-
tent they own such stock. Congress
man TaVenner is particularly anxious
to have Mr.. Morgan testify, both as
to how much profit he has made out of
his position as minister of munitions"
to the allies, and how much additional
profit he would make if the Navy
leagues proposed s500.000,000 bond is
sue for battleships should go through
congress.
The recent sudden and unexpected
departure of Mr.. Morgan, at season
like this, when wind and weather, sub
marine and floating mines add TO the
danger of an ocean voyage, has caused
considerable wonderment The Wall
street newspapers state his trip is for
the purpose of taking up with the
French government officials and bank
ers the terms of proposed new
French loan of $500, 100000.
Contrary to expectations, it is said
the new loan will not be a mere bank
ing arrangement. Instead of credit, it
will consist of an offering of French
government bonds in this country, the
bonds to run from three to five years:
and will be very attractive to Ameri-
can investors. 1t is not surprising
that the Wall street money kings were
thunderstruck when they learned that
the new securities Of the allied pow
ers were to be the basis of a new loan,
in view Of the fact that the Anglo
French loan was dismal failure and
that large amount Of the $500, 900 900
is still in the safety vaults of the I'M
derwriters. 1t is recalled that short
iy AFTER the war broke out, France
tried to secure war loan of $780,
100000 through the house of Morgan.
but when the matter was submitted to
the state department for approval Will
liam ]. Bryan, then secretary of state.
declared very emphatically that the
United States would not countenance
such a transaction; and the matter
was dropped
II is believed by many that there
Will be no more loans for war secured
in this country and that J. P. Nor
CANS trip is not for the purpose of
negotiating such loan, but to be con-
venfently absent should congress de
eide to interrogate him relatiye to his
| lnterlocking dictatorship of war-trad-
ing firms and the Navy league at one
and the same time.

been given no thought and that the

opinion.
This is the first time under the pres

that the mayor and commission have
taken issue over questions concerning
saloons or cafes. Opinion heretofore
has always been unanimous on legis-

ANNUAL BENCH SHOW
WILL Be BENEFIT EVENT
Emergency Hospital to Profit by
Action of Washington
Kennel Club.

The annual bench show of the Wash
ington Kennel Club this year will be
for the benefit of the Emergency Hos
pital. Dog fanciers of the National
Capital are looking forward to the
show with great interest, and the big
gest turnout of high-bre dogs ever
seen in Washington is expected.
At a meeting of the club last night
officers were elected and the date for
the show discussed. John O Evans
was elected president, r. H. Atkinson
vice president and c. A. Watson sec
rotary and treasurer.
1t is expected that the show will be
held March 10, IA and IS, despite the
fact that opposition had arisen to the
date, which was originally awarded to
the local dog men by the American
Kennel Club. The Maryland Kennel
Club will stage its animal show March
Is. II and IS. and the members wish
the Washington dates to be changed.
S. J. Held and E. Roy Rout were
delegated last night and today have
gone to Philadelphia to confer with
George F. Foley, who has been selected
show. They will take up with Mr..
Foley the advisa bility of changing the
date of the local show, but it is thought
that no change will be made.
A board of governors was elected last
night, as follows: DR.. d. E. Bucking-
ham, Edward S. Schmid, John F. Slavin,
Armor Reside, Miss Jean G. Hinkle,
Mrs. James Carroll Frazer, Emory NJ.
