MONUMENT FOR
 SENATOR MORGAN

To the editor of The Age-Herald:
 I note with pleasure what you say about honoring Senator John T. Morgan with a memorial at the entrance to the Pan- anna canal No one ever advocated the Isthmian canal more earnestly than did the senator; no one else was better in- formed on the subject. Subsequent events showed plainly that he knew all about the difficulties that would be encoun- tered.
 By all means let us encourage the movement for memorial General Mor- gan was all American; he loved his coun- try as we'll as his own state, and he always exhibited this trait in Congress.
 Many people have probably forgotten, if they ever knew, how much free Cuba owes to Senator Morgan's efforts As his law partner for some years l Knew General Morgans great ability as an ex- aminer of witnesses; as such, and as member of the committee of the Senate who investigated the cruelties of the Spanish military authorities, by his ef- forts he uncovered the real conditions In Cuba, The congressional records showed the results of his labors in this respect.
 And thus he prepared the public mind for conditions in Cuba and showed the necessity for war with Spain, if we ex- pected to aid Cuba, and to get rid of Spanish rule there. w. k. NELSoN.

Humbert to make a charge before the mil itary tribunal, which Humbert had re- trained from doing, asserting that he had informed the first magistrate of the re- public and that the latter had promised him that action woudl be taken.
 Perhaps one politician found it to ms advantage to have another prominent politician disappear from the public eye, shouted Moro-Giafferi. Thereupon cap tain Mornet asked the counsel to With draw his remark, threatening him with disbarment.
 Tt will be to the glory of my career to be disbarred under such circumstances shouted Moro-Giafferi.
 In summing up the long discussions, the whole trend of Moro-Giafferis argu" ment was to show that President Poln- care was anxious to have Humbert de- posed from the prominent position he oc- cupied in the French political world
 The question of hearing President Poin- care puzzles the legal men, the French law providing that during cases under ln- vestigation, the President, being the HTS. magistrate of the republic, must be heard at Elysee palace; but no provision IS made for the hearing of such testimony while the case actually is under trial.
 Humberts lawyer declared this after noon that he intended to demand to pc present when President Poincare was heard as a witness. While he would not insist upon bringing the President to tne courthouse, he said, the latterS tesu- mony must be handled the same as that of any ordinary witness.

NEXT ID REGULATE
 |CE CREAM TRAFFIC,
 SAYS DR. BOWLING
Tells of Local Product and What Government Stand ard Requires-Report
 Next Tuesday

A new health ordinance. which Dr prepare and submit to the commission at the regular Tuesday session next week. concerns ice cream.
 The purpose of the ordinance will be to require that all ice cream be labeled and that all places serving ice cream be forced to display cards stating ex- act1y what kind of cream they are serv- ing. The ordinance proposes that ev- eryone who eats ice cream shall know just what kind of cream he is getting. It will serve to blot out the unfair competition that is being made by deal CTS in cheap and artificial ice cream against those dealers here who make hrgh- grade cream, according to pr. Bowling. There are a few dealers here who really make high grade cream he said. Tt contains more fats and is better than the cheap cream. although the average person who eats it can hardly observe the difference in taste of it and the cheaper grade of cream.
 '"The government standard for fats in ice cream is 14 per cent This ordi- nance win require only 12 per cent. The present requirement is per cent. Most of the cream made here now ranges from between 3h to 5H per cent fats, and very little goes above . per cent
 Under the present requirements ts cream is made under the government definition which is "a frozen product made of pure frozen cream with sweet
