Morgan Makes Excuse.

The situation in my Office was radio
ally different at the time this letter was
received than at the time that Mr.
Hoyt had suggested the appointment
of special counsel to the governor; and
on September first, I addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the executives:
Honorable John J. Blaine,
Governor of Wisconsin,
Capitol.
Dear Governor:
81 have your letter of August 81
with reference to the Kenosha situa-
ton. 1t is six weeks since Mr.. Hoyt
went over this matter with Judge Bel
den. Assistant Attorney General Baker
is due at the Office tom orrow, and will
be available to assist the district at
torney of Kenosha county in the trial
Of the indictments returned by the
grand jury.
"We have no circumstances before US
at this time to indicate the necessity
of appointing special counsel, but
will be glad to confer with you further
in the matter and be advised just what
the present situation is, if you believe
there are special circumstances that
indicate the desirability of appointing
Mr.. Walker as special counsel for this
work.
Yours very truly,
VIM. ]. Morgan,
Attorney General.
Tells Morgan to Act.
There was no further conference, but
on September second l received thl:
letter from the governor:
Il have your letter of September l
in which you state that there are nj
circumstances existing in your depart
ment at this time to indicate the ne
cessity of appointing special counsel tx

county in the proceedings before the
grand jury in Kenosha county.
"In view of that, take it that yor
can furnish the district attorney witt
assistance before the grand jury anC
also in the trial of the indictments
which it has or may return. The pro
ceedings before the grand jury and tn:
indictments returned by them involve
violation of various penal provisions
of our statutes, though l am not defin
itely advised of the title of the severa
actions or the specific nature OF thu
various crimes charged.
SIN view, therefore, of the possibil
ity of your department furnishing th'
assistant, you are required, as provid
ed by the statute, to prosecute befor'
the grand jury in the county Of Keno
sha in the proceedings pending befor'
them, and to assist the district attor
ney with respect to such proceedings
and to prosecute under the Indictment

On September~22, received four
page letter from the district attorney,
which goes into detail respecting the
Kenosha county situation and mentions
the names of several defendants, which
am therefore not giving you in full.
But suffice it to state that in that let
ter the district attorney said he would
be glad to come to Madison to go over
the situation with me, upon receipt of
a telegram. I accordingly wired him
that l would be glad to confer with
both him and Mr.. Walker. They came
to my Office and made it plain that
if Mr.. Walker was appointed as special
counsel to assist the attorney general
by the governor, I would be glad to
assign him to the work in Kenosha
county.

GENNERT SET BACK IN
EASTMAN-HUBBELL SUIT
Judge Hand Grants Motion to
Quash Sun1n,onses.

Judge Learned Hand in the Federal
District Court granted yesterday a mo-
ton to quash the summonses served on
George Eastman and Walter S. Hubbell,
technical defendants in the treble dam
age suit brought four years ago by Gus
tave c. Gennert against the Eastman
Kodak Companies of New Jersey and
New York. The suit was brought by Mr..
Gennert as the surviving partner of G..
Gennert. against the Eastman companies.
Judge Hand ruled that Section 81 OF
the Judicial Code would not serve the
plaintiff. as none of the defendants
named live in. the Southern District of
New York. which is under the jurisdic-
tion of the court in which the case was
being handled. Both Eastman and Hub
bell live in the Western district of New
York
The suit for damages of $4,000 has
been pending in the Federal courts here
since March. 1917. The plaintiff alleges
that the acts of those named as de-
PENDANTS were in undue and unfair and
unreasonable restrains of trade and COM
merce and an attempt to nonopolize the
same.

SEES NO GAIN IN FIGHT
ON WAGE ADJUSTMENT
Banker Economist Clues
Points to Credit Men.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
ROCHESTER,. Oct. 20.-The wage Garner
as q class is not gaining anything by
fighting fair wage adjustment. said
George z. Roberts, vice-president and
economist of the National City Bank of
New York. before a meeting Of the
Credit Mems Association here tonight.
The fact Is, Mr.. Roberts contended,
wages have been reduced already, as
millions of people are not getting any
wages and millions more are on part
time.
Twenty-Five per cent. or so OF the
regular railroad employees" he added
are out of employment and they are not
going to get employment until business
gets back to normal conditions Who
will say that they cannot afford to take
reduction OF the wage rates, along
with reduction of living costs. as their
contribution to getting business back to
normal conditions?"
The modern Industrial system, Mr..
Roberts asserted, Is in danger of break
ing down when any group of workers
In strategic position because of their
services try to take advantage Of that
fact.

URGES RECOGNIZING
OBREGON'S REGIME
George A. Evalenko Dicusses
Mexican Conditions After
Trip to Republic.

George A. Evalenko, vice-president of
Harvey Fisk & Sons, Inc, bankers, re-
turned to New York on Wednesday
night from a six weeks visit in Mexico
city. He was accompanied by his at
torney. George II. Eichelberger of
in response to an invitation from the
Obregon Government to discuss some
of her financial problems. One OF the
most important of them is the rehibilita-
ton and stabilization of her currency.
The establishment of bank of issue Is
regarded as a necessary step to that
end. Mexicos only currency at present
is silver and gold and practically all her
banking facilities are under the control
of foreign interests. Mr.. Eichelberger
said that Mr.. Evalenko had submitted
to the Mexican Administration a tenta-
tive plan looking to the establishment
of bank of issue. The prerequisite to
that or any other stable financial re-
form, however. In their opinion, Is recog-
milton of the Obregon Government by
the United States.
Mr.. Evalenko said that he had re-
turned with a very favorable impression
ditions in Mexico, but also Of the offi-
cials Of the present Mexican Govern
ment.
THE issues involving recognition" he
said. have narrowed down to ques-
ton whether the treaty proposed be-
tween the United States and Mexico
shall be signed before our recognition is
granted or after it has been accorded.
Inasmuch as 1t is highly desirable that
the two republics be on terms of peace
and friendship with one another, it is
hoped and expected that an early solu-
ton Of the present difficulties will be
found.
THE Obregon Government is doing
its utmost to stabilize conditions and
make Mexico attractive to American in
vestors. 1t would indeed be unfortu-
nate if failure to recognize the present
Government by America and England
should weaken. or possibly result In the
destruction Of the present Mexican Gov
ernment 1t Is extremely doubtful II
any government so good as the present
one could be organized as it's successor.
But there is no doubt in my mind that,
with the aid and encouragement OF the
United States, the Obregon Administra-
ton will mark the close of the long pc
riod cf revolution that began with the
overthrow Of Porflrio Diaz in 1911.
