That waa tha laat that Mr. Arnold

their board for Mveral day* In ad
vance. They each had a ault caa*.
but no trunk and both of th* ault
caaea dlaappearad with them.
Mr. Arnold taougnt tnat they had

CHAIRMAN HENRY, OF THE

THE TRIPLE TRUSTS.
By C. H. Tavernier.
(Special Washington Correspond
ence.-
Washington, Jan. 3—For tho first
time in his career, Mr J. Pierpont
Morgan stands in immediate danger
a* being required to go upon the
witness*^ stand and give direct
answers to some uncomfortable
questions^concerning trust opera
tions.
It Is as good aa assured that the
house of representatives will au
thorise a special committee to lu
vesttgate the money, shipping and
harvester trusts, and among the
Democrats It Is agreed that Mr.
Morgan Is very likely to he ono of
the Important witnesses before that
committee. 4
Chairman Henry, of the rules
committee, has made the definite
announcement that the triple In
vestigation Is to be started, and Tie j.
says It will be the most Important* oltterly that Morse had done what
Inquiry conducted In this country
since the Civil war.
‘What the house Democrats are
particularly anxious to get at,'* said
Mr. Henry, “la Just what degree of
co-operrglpn exists between these
trusts, ^ery few people doubt that
these trusts, and in fact, all the big
trusty, 'Work hand In hand, but ns

One specific Incident Is cited In
which Morse waa given permission
by Warden Moyer to tend a code
message to New York In connection
with certain gaa company stock,
The message Instructed the sale ot
shorts, and Morse cleaned up some
money on tbe deal. According, to
Warden Moyer, Morse entered the
prison office shortly after that and
offered the warden $1,000 of it.
The warden refused and resented
he regarded was equlvalant to mak- •
Ing the offer of a bribe. |
This information is doubly Inter
esting because It recalls persistent
stories which were printed In New
York newspaper in 1910, soon after
Morse’s incarceration, and declar- i
Ing that Moro’a iron band was I
still felt in the direction of the j
Iness interests with which he had
