81, 1910, Mr.. Hull, then a member
Of the house from Tennessee, rose
and said:
Mr.. Chairman, our present
monopoly tariff law is miserable
travesty, an ill-designed patch
work, piece of brazen legislative
jobbery.
Protection to small number of
pampered, stilted individuals, not
revenue for the government, is its
chief design.
This indefensible doctrine has
become the cancer of the govern
ment's fiscal system. 1t is the
mightieSt engine of oppression
ever devised by legislative legerde-
main"
On May 10, 1892, Senator Hull
spoke to the senate, saying: THE

where Erskine lives. and leaped
from window near his room.
Her body plunged to a setback on
the twenty-fifth floor. 1t lay there
eight hours in the near zero weather
until discovered by a maid who
peered from the open window.
The club, where Erskine has lived
two months, faces on Michigan
avenue.
Erskine told police that he and
Miss Hepburn were accompanied to
the party by F. Ward Just, son of
a Waukegan publisher; A. c. At
water, brother in-law OF Philip K.
Wrigley, and Miss Gladys Stewart.
After their quarrel, Erskine said,
he gave Miss Hepburn taxi fare, and
went to spend the night with At
water. He did not learn of the sui
eide until Sunday afternoon.
Police said they were satisfied
with ErSkine's story.
They believed that Miss Hepburn
went to the Athletic Club, to wait
for Erskine to come home, respondent
as a result of their quarrel.
Miss Hepburn was unemployed,
but formerly was stenographer in
a brokers' office.

The elderly senate employee
cited a statement by Chair
man Gerald Nye of the senate
campaign fund investigating
committee in further support
of his charges.
He said he had been told by a.
student that he had been taught
that corruption was general in con-
gresS.
The committee adjourned its
| hearing on the motion to remove
Barry with the understanding that
the name of the student and the
professor would be given Tuesday.
Raked by Big Three
Barry revealed further that the
offending paragraph in former Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smiths New Out
look had been lifted from the body
of his article to become the first
paragraph.
The witness said he thought the
university attended by the student
with whom he had talked either was
Georgetown or George Washington.
Both schools are located here.
The small elderly senate employe
brlStled under the rapid fire ques-
tioning Of the senators, who sat
around him at the committee table.
The tiny room was packed.
Many women stood on chairs in
the rear, craning at the sight Of
the big three of the senate-Borah.
Norris and Walsh, of Teapot Dome
tame-raking the aged employee.
Quotes Glass Assertion
Have you any knowledge that
any senator or representative acted
IN corrupt manner in selling his
Vote?" asked Borah.
NO, I think not" Barry said.
Don't you know that Senator
Glass was referring to a congress of
ten years ago. not to the present
congress?" asked Blaine (Rep., Wis.,,
Il didn't know it," Barry an
swered.
IF it is an offense to have said
what l said in my article" Barry
had said in his prepared statement,
then am not alone guilty, for on
May 10, 1882, Senator Glass, speaks
ing on the subject of the opposF
ton of certain bankers to the pro-
posed legislation in regard to branch
banking, said:
They hired skillful and per-
suasive profession allobbyist and
paid him a high salary to come
here to Washington-Wors than
that, they hired some congressman
to my positive and documentary
knowledge-to oppose even that
small measure o branch banking"
Barry's statement distributed to
| the press UNDERSIGNED the reference
to hiring congressman.
Won't Resign, He Says
Barry told the committee that in
| the New Outlook article he was EN-
deavoring to represent it as the true
situation that the isolated case of
the misconduct Of individuals in
office offered no basis for the loose
public condemnation of the senate
one so often hears"
He said he would not resign, but
would await the judgment of the
senate. The committee had before
1t a motion for his removal from
! office The senate has agreed To
vote on the motion Tuesday.
Barry cited also a letter written
by Chairman Gerald Nye of the
senate campaign fund committee to
the late Senator Thaddeus Caraway
/ Dem, Ark referring to activities
Of lobbyists on Capitol hill, and to
the fact that senator had said "a
certain measure would be enacted

IVAN MORGAN
PREPARESFOR
FARLEY FIGHT
G. 0. P. Chairman, Battling
Custer, May Demand
Campaign Review.
WATS0N'S HAND SEEN
Coffin, Gates and Irwin
Are Doomed for
State Job.

When Ivan Morgan, chairman OF
the Republican state committee
faces district chairmen and women
Tuesday afternoon, answering a de-
mand made by number at a meet
ing three weeks ago. he may call fol
a thorough review of the entire
campaign.
Morgan's friends attribute the
effort to GUST him to Senator James
E. Watson, who, so they say, desires
to retain control of the party ma
chinery. To him is traced the STRAIT
egg by which a number of the COM
mitteemen hope to step into the
place.
Last week an effort was made to
placate Morgan by elevating him to
the Craftsmanship of the executive
committee, an honorary job of no
power. Thus far, it is said, Morgan
has refused to accept the place and
prefers to fight in the open.
Women Want Explanation
The committee meets at 1 o'clock.
But at IL o'clock the women mem
bers Of the committee have been in
vited to meet with Mrs. Beryl Hol-
land, vice chairman, and discuss
matters.
Morgan is said to have been more
considerate of the claims of the
women of the party than were his
predecessors and they are not uni
fled on the proposal to replace him
without some explanation.
If Morgan should be voted out or
decides to quit, the selection of a
successor is not so certain. Watson
is reported to have made overtures
to others than Don Irwin of Frank
fort. One of the new names is that
Of Ralph Gates of Columbia City
| former commander of the American
Legion.
Coffin Is Doomed
And from Indianapolis comes g
claim that George B. Coffin should
be put at the head, as the master
politician of the state. He will have
at least three votes and perhaps
more.
From others will come a resolution
demanding an audit of expenditures
1t IS charged that one of the rea-
sons for Watsons antagonism tt
Morgan was the latters refusal tc
send more and more money to Lake
county after he had placed $13,5OC
at disposal Of John Scott, who LED
the fight against Morgan.
Another distribution Of $4,000 was
made to Huffman of Evansville and
there was peevishness because more
was not forthcoming.
Other districts that saw their
local tickets defeated are question
ing even these amounts to two
counties where defeat was over
whelming.
In the meantime, Watson follow
erS are attempting to smother any
open discussion, by pleading with
Morgan to be good and quit with
out any fuss, in return for a reso-
luton of thanks and explanation
that no farther sacrifices for the
party will be asked.

Special Washington Correspondent Of he
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. July 31.-W. H. Porter,
general manager of the Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge Commission, left Washington Saturday for
Jacksonville where he plans to inaugurate CANE
paign to secure the backing Ofsthe newlyappOinted
members of the state public works advisory board,
for the bridge project.
MIR. Porter said he hoped to get specimen of the
new application FORM and copy of the regulations
governing the selfquidating loan application under
the Industrial Recovery Act before he left Washing
ton.
He will see first T. l.. Buckner, of Jacksonville,
one of the three members of the state advisory board
and will then go to Miami and talk with w. H. Bur-
well, a second member of the board.
Porter said he would probably also talk with G.
" Treadway of Tallahassee although, he said, Judge
H. H. Taylor has already contacted Treadway regard
ing the Overseas loan application
Because Of his position as chairman Of the state
roads board, Treadway is already thoroughly con-
versant with the Overseas Bridge project and be-
Ilieved to be favorable to it, Porter said. For that
reason most efforts will be directed toward inform
ling the other members of the state advisory board
garding the project and the proposed loan application
he indicated.
Porter will return to Washington as soon as the
state board has organized to handle loan applications
probably within ten days less, he said. Judge Tay
lor may come back with him, to help press the loan
application from this end he added.
