his defense of practices which car- ried his own firm to the pinnacle of financial power.
 Morgan was called in the senate inquiry into the methods of his and similar firms.
 Morgan, surrounded by business associates and personal retainers, faced a committee room crowded to overfiowing. He had been ad- mitted to the chamber through a rear room but came out of Q quiet passageway into a blinding greet ing of flashlights and a hub-hub of noise and excitement.
 Morgan, wearing @ blue pin- stripe suit, testified from his seat at the committee table.
 As Morgan began his testimony at 10:0S a. m. E. s. T., the scene in the committee room and just outside was one of intense confu- sion. The room had been filled for an hour but men and women still struggled to get in.
 You'll hear from this" women shouted at policemen who barred them.
 Some who had arrived in. light summer dresses were in sad disar- ray, perspiring and with hair stringing into their eyes.
 Morgan was sworn in by Chair man Fletcher of the senate bank ing committee. He chatted with senators as he took & seat midway of the long committee table.
 A heavy gold watch chain hung suspended across his vest.

principal, the pastor of the church to which she belonged and from the editor of the Negro World" for which publication she worked as a correspondent.
 He told how she became en- amored of a young chap in her home town last July and permitted the familiarities which brought about her motherhood, after they had both discussed marriage. She came to Waterbury not knowing what was wrong with her to accept an invitation from the letter fam ily. She was not told until August that she was to become a mother, MT Gager said and then, being of a high type and coming. from a family of good reputation, she was ashamed to go home.
 She secured employment in the letter establishment which dis pensed refreshments such as wine, MT Gager said, and it was during this employment that she met Las sitter.
 Lassiter "had a way with wo- men," MT Gager pointed out and immediately asked her to live with him.
 She would have nothing to do with him and rebuffed him at every turn. MT Jager told how Lassiter had bragged over his exploits with women and said he usually got what he wanted. He told of the shooting of one Sadie Walton by Lassiter and how she refused to testify against him.
 MT Gager said Lassiter men, tioned that incident the night of the party on December 18th. He she refused. Later during the the outer rooms when. becoming might do, she borrowed a knife for musician at the party to re- pair his instrument.
 Leaving the party, Lassiter had to go through the room where Miss Saddler was sitting. He ripped over her feet and then deliberately kicked her in the shins, MT Gager said. She lunged at him with the knife and managed to stab him three times. Friends separated them and Lassiter was escorted outside. Not realizing the serious ness of his hurts, he started to walk home when he collapsed. An operation was performed at the hospital to try to save his life, but his death occurred three days later.
 MT Gager then pleaded with the court to send the girl to the Con- necticut State Farm for Women, where he said, she could be joined by her baby which has been separated from her since after its birth. The baby has been receiv- ing care at St RaphaePs hospital at New Haven, MT Gager said.

tion, recognized it's world import ance with smashing headlines.
 But where diplomats politely welcomed it, and in some cases warmly praised it, the newspaper commentators, less restrained, mixed their welcome with a bus iness-like dissection of its value to Europe.
 In some cases the dissection was a merciless one, both here and in Paris.
 The Daily Express owned by Lord Beaverbrook, under the streamer headline, Roosevelt Pledge to Europe" denounced it roundly.
 Tt means the United States will remain neutral" said the Express diplomatic correspondent. IS h e has nothing to give but advice.
 "A sentence cast from the meatl of the Mohammedan faith de- scribes the offer-'It neither profit eth nor injureth the dead, nor com forteth the living"
 The acidulous Pertinax, writing in the Echo de Paris in the French capital, said:
 "The danger contained in the Davis proposals outweighs the good for France. Nothing in the United States offer should persuade us to weaken our national defenses in relation to Germany and Italy,"
 Berlin's comment was epitomized in the Deutsche Allgemeine.
 'The United States does not au- tomatically abandon it's neutrality. Nevertheless it has relinquished its right to preserve the neutrality it hitherto has maintained. There is victory for Great Britain in the old British-American question of freedom of the seas."

they emerged from their meeting. it became known that Davis had won another victory.
 They agreed that the full com tions of the British disarmament mission should at once take up sec plan--the one the United States favors-which deal with electives and war materials. Effectives means men who would be effective as soldiers at the outbreak of a war.
 The troublesome security prob lem will be discussed coincidently by a special security committee.
 Davis, hero of this conference as he was at the London tariff confer ence, is the central figure in all talk.
 q believe an early agreement will be reached" he said. There may not be time for definite agreement before the London world economic conference June IF, but that will not prevent the disarma- ment conference from continuing. passing its work upon agreement on the major points which ti hopes to reach. I do not think the confer ence is going to adjourn before the
 
 London meeting.
 "Why should they not run con- currently"
 If there is agreement, it is ad- mitted, it will be because of Davis offer, made on behalf of President Roosevelt.
 Davis is in a powerful position. He can refuse United States coop eration, offered yesterday, if France refuses to disarm or Germany in- sists on rearming.
 The American delegate is ex- pected to propose that the Big Five" nations begin work privately trying to reach agreements without public debate. These are America, England, France, Italy and Ger many.

imposts, estimated to yield $5oo,- 900, ,OO0 yearly, would have expired July l, 1884.
 After adopting this section. the committee voted favorable report on the whole bill, with its $S,30O'- 100000 public works program to create jobs for millions and It's American 1.-two year plan" for gov ernment supervision of industry to stabilize employment, wages ana production. Chairman Doughton planned to lay the report before the house this afternoon. Debate may begin Wednesday.
 Extension of the "nuisance taxes" is in addition to a provision levying s22o,00o,o00 in new income and gasoline taxes, to meet financ- ing charges on the public works program.
 The administration asked for and obtained an unprecedented provision automatically repeating these new taxes whenever the 18th amendment is repealed or when ever the governments receipts in any fiscal year exceed it's expenses.
 The proposed new taxes affected by this promise are: Increase from four to six per cent in the income tax on the first $4.000 of taxable income; increase from eight to 10 per cent in the normal tax on all over $4,00O; repeal of the present law exempting stock dividends from the normal income tax; addi- ton of three -fourths of one cent to the present one-cent federal gasoline tax.
 The administrators decision to seek extension of the nuisance taxes" was carried to a secret ses- sion of the committee by Budget Director Douglas. Democratic and republican members approved it without a dissent.
 How the higher income taxes recommended by the house ways and means committee will affect typical incomes is shown in the fol- lowing table:

 Reason for the proposed change from the present system to town control, in which each of the states 169 towns coulud control the beer traffic within it's own limits, were outlined as follows:
 To obtain for the state revenue now lost through the free impor- tation of beer; to divorce trade in beer from that Tn intoxicating liquor in the interests of temper ance and law and order; to assure favorable vote on repeal; to prevent the growth of conditions more intolerable than those re- sulting from national prohibition. and to save the state more than s125,000 year in salaries and ex- penses of the liquor commission.
 To Aid Cities
 Hartford, Conn, May 23-(U.P.H Still seeking a plan to aid muni-l cipalities that are hard pressedl financially, the four floor leaders of the house and senate went tot meet to-day. A two-hour confer ence with Governor Cross yester-i day afternoon produced no tangi-: ble results.
 Raymond E Baldwin and John Markham, of the house, and How-i ard W. Alcorn and Frank s. Ber-. gin, of the senate. the floor lead- CTS, hoped to reach an early ac- cord on the bill. The manner in which the additional revenue is to be provided apparently was the chief obstacle to agreement.
 Governor Cross yesterday pre-, sented bill drawn by William H. Blodgett, tax commissioner, which provided that the state guarantee the issuance of local bonds. A clause calling for receivership Of! cities unable to meet their obli- cations was included.
 Strong opposition to a state bond issue has developed, as the legisla- tors are unwilling to burden the entire state in an effort to aid only those cities that are in difficulties. For this reason they also are op- posed to a general sales tax, which has been proposed throughout the session by the Connecticut League 0 Municipalities.

 The senate today received an un- favorable report from the com mittee on labor on the minimum wage law for women and children.
