NO MONEY FOUND IN HOME | PROTECTION NOW ISSUE Chicago, Aug. 25.—Edward W.| Washington, Aug. 25.—Senator Morrison, the 80-year-old recluse, | Gallinger, republican leader and one whose vanished millions are a subject | of “the OJd Guard,” told the senate of investigation before Judge Landis | today during debate on the revenue in the United States district court, | bill that former Speaker Cannon “was was declared today to have been |the Jonah” upon whom the insurgent mulcted out of property valued at | wing of the republicans heaped blame $5,000,000 by a coterie of strange |for the complaint against the Dingley characters within the last twenty |tariff and that the late Senator Al- years. drich 1.as chosen by themt “as his Francis J. Houlahan, counsel for | confederate for attack and defama- Morrison's creditors, declared that un- [tion.” The republican leader defend- scrupulous lawyers, women and habi- |ed both Representative Cannon and tues of Chicago's under world, came | Senator Aldrich. As far back as 1896, he declared, “certain politicians” began to plant the seed of discotent “to break down the protective tariff policy of the re- publican t{;ar!y and to discredit the acknowledged leaders of that policy.” “Men who' called themselves re- publicans,” h= said, “gave currency to the ‘startling and false’ theory that the increased cost of living was due to excessive rates provided by the Dingley tariff.” Cannon is Made Jonah, “So far did this disaffection go,” said Senator Gallinger, “that certain republicans began to disclaim respon- sibility for what they called the rad- ical provisions of the Dingley law, and began looking about for a Jonah upon whom they might heap the bur- den of blame and visit the penalties attaching thereto, These men, with the active assistance of these demo- selected for this sacrifice a man who had served his country in the house of representatives thirty years, and at times with more than ordi- nary honor and distinction, and who, in that position, had consistently, continuously and honorably advoca- ted the protective tariff system as the one sure and logical means for the perpetuation of an industrial system which never has had a parallel in the history of the world. This man, who had so earnestly and ably, so long and successfuly defended the best in- terests of our country, was Joseph G. Cannon, “They declared that ‘Cannonism must go,’ and this cry was echoed all over the land. The chorus was joined in, it must be remembered, by a few republicans of unquestioned Iower, wlguu word became law. And then, to show the sincerity of their convic- tions and their willingness to throw overboard all who stood in their way, the democrats were permitted to se- lect as Mr. Cannon's confederate a man who, out of the abundance of his learning and energy, had for years performed the difficult task, connect- ed with the chairmanship of the sen- ate committee on finance. Aldrich Greatly Defamed. “This man, Nelson W. Aldrich, was chosen for m“‘i and defamation, His clear view enabled him to penetrate the beyond; and he was able to ren- der service of such inestimable value that few of us can even now appre- ciate the value of his services to the country, ‘But the word had been passed that Aldrichism and Cannon- ism ,were responsible for all the wrongs that existed in the body poli- tic, including the increased prices of everything, whether the articles were on t{e free list or not. And I regret to say that many of those who knew better assisted in discrediting those into the life of the aged man, whose wealth is estimated from $3,000,000 to $8,000,000, to obtain his money. He was taken on trips to other cities, At- torney Houlahan declared, women were brought to see him, and new characters introduced to keep his fortune dwindling. Little Money is Found. Search of the recluse’s quaint, old, two-story home, in which it was though ?:e had concealed vast sums of money, revealed $11.73 in cash and a bunch of old papers, canceled checks and notes. one packet. almost 100 “I. O. ” written in various hands, but unsigned, and which totaled some- thing over $150,000, were found. Each slip of paper bore “I. O. U.” for an amount ranging from $500 to $7,000. No trace of deeds, titles and other records of ownership to property re- uted to be worth $6,000, were ound. Two Millions to One Man. Investigation into the affairs of Morrison has revealed that James R. Ward, counsel for the aged man, is holding more than $2,000000 worth of property conveyed to him by Mor- rison.. John Sommers, a jeweler, dis- posed of $200,000 of Morrison's for- tune in “entertaining” him, Mrs. Kate Hiller, formerly keeper of a lace hg&i obtained 370 in cash and § udr{n in bonds the life of Morrison’s wife, who died in 1909. They were gifts, Mrs, Hiller asserted. Subpoenaes for Girls, 4 Subpoenaes .nave been issued fol the appearance in court of the Burnstein girls, Margaret and Alice, whom Morrison recently adopted, an of whom their reputed father, Joseph Burnstein, a junk dealer, declares Morrison is the real father, Under the terms of the will left by Morrison’s father, James M. Mor- rison, the entire estate should go to the city of Chicago if the son died childless. / RAILROAD WAGE DISPUTE AGAIN . .

Chicago, Aug. 25—Washington will give Hughes and Fairbands a plurality of from 75,000 to 100,000 in November, while Oregon and Cali- fornia also will give their electoral vote to the republican national ticket, according to the opinion of Congress- man Albert Johnson of Tacoma and Congressman W, 'E.
