ence as a banker and business man.

possible and to this end he was pro-
ceeding to organize it's forces to meet
his views of government administra-

we are capable of making war. Nations

ers joining in the debate. The Arkau-
sas senator charged that Mr.. Daugh-
erty. in acting as counsel for Morse
IN 1872 had betrayed former Presi-
the present administration. He also
charged that the department of justice
was employing its agents to shadow
senator's and representatives.
Incorporated in the statement issued
late Saturday by the department of
justice were reports of physicians
which were part of the record of the
Morse case in the departments files

an army medical officer at Fort Pher-
son. found Morse suffering from ar

Baker said. II would not recommend
this patient for the short period of so
days. His sudden death is constantly
probable"

by army officers, however, civilian
physicians made an examination at the
