Special _Cable Herald” Publishi LONDON, - Feb. 4. —The Morgan forgerfes have assumed 'much greater proportions than were dreamed of when they. first became public. It now appears that not only were two bills for £ each forged, but several others as well so that the total loss of the group of and New . by the Company. York New York business men who discounted the bills amounts to more than $150,000. Plerpont Morgan, when abroad last year, purchased of Count de Bosdari a large bronze figure for $20,000. Morgan gave his personal check, drawn on the London banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. The check was duly presented and paid. It seems, however, that Morgan name was forged to a letter and the banker was made to that he had given his note for the bronze figure and other objects of art. It was the existence of this letter that caused De Bosdari's downfall Morgan {s not acting in the matter, which concerns-only the banks that ac- cepted the notes and some of the forger's friends, who Indorsed the notes to make them the more readily negotiable. L R e i ad ] Stoll says that the Democratic party is without organization, leadership or a well defined policy; it makes professions in platforms, but fails to carry them Into practice; it looks one way and travels in an opposite direction; It is powerless for good, etc. Colonel Stoll pays a glowing tribute to President Rooseveit and says he deserves the united support of the people in his mighty fight against the trusts. The action of Colonel Stoll fs the sen- sation of the hour here In Wyoming. He is the able prosecutor who gathered the evidence and convicted Tom Horn of the murder of Willie Nickell. He says that from this time on he will be afllated with the Republican party.
