They told us that he had tainted la lue

"About the first of last December, the
Equitable got out what Is called a
"Christmas policy.' and when everything
was In readiness. It was suggested that
It would be fitting to make out the
first policy In the name of the presi
dent of the company. Paul was ex
amined and Dr. Wells, the chief exam
iner of the company, rejected him.
"Of -course It was a shock, but Paul
never dreamed how serious was bis

and we had him go to Chicago to be
examined. That. I think, was about
December S.

MORTON" CAUSED CONTROVERSY
Rebating on Santa Fe Brooch t Him
MtK-h Before Public.
Paul Morton first came prominently
before the public In connection with
the prosecution of railroads for re
bating. Aa vice-president of the Santa
Fe Railroad, he was In charge of traf
fic and was ordered by tha court to
annul a certain special rate given the
Colorado Fuel A Iron Company because
it was equivalent to a rebate. Tha rate
was not annulled.
He soon afterwards resigned fa Is of
fice with the railroad to become Secre
tary of ' the Navy under ITesldent
Koosevelt. While be held that office,
the failure of the Santa Fa to obey tha
order of the court caused a new In
quiry to be made. Judson Harmon,
now Democratic Governor of Ohio, and
Mr. Judson. of Ohio, ware appointed
special assistants to Attorney-Ueneral
Moody to Inquire Into tha facta and
they recommended that Morton be pros
ecuted. Moody refused to adopt , their
report and his action was approved by
Koosevelt. Morton wrote a letter to
Koosevelt. raying he had always been
opposed to rebating and had only prac
ticed It because It was tba custom. As
to tha Colorado case, be had ordered
the annulment of the rate condemned
and the Issue of a new tariff and sup
posed It had beeb dune.
- After the exposure of abuses In tha
Insurance business at tha Uughea In
vestigation, control of the Equitable
was sold by Hyde and his associates to
Thomas F. Ryan, who put the stock In
charge of three trustees and caused the
election of Morton as president. Mor
ton has been untiring In the rehabilita
tion of the company, the removal of
abuses and putting It on a firm fornda
tlon. Paul Morton was born In Detroit,
May 22. Hi': Most of. his early' Ufa
was spent at Arbor Lodge, Nebraska
City, at the home of his father. J.

CHINESE MIES FLIGHT
FUNG JOE GTJET SAILS GRACE
FULLY IN THE AIR.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 19. (Specials
Wheeling his machine out on a level
field near the bay at Elmhurst, Fung
Joe Guey, a Chinese aviator and inven
tor, started the 75-horsepower engine
on his latest aeroplane. Jumped into the
seat and after running1, along the
ground for 100 feet, rose gracefully In
the air to a height of 40 feet, early
this morning-. At this elevation, the
Chinese aviator circled the big field,
nearly a mile in circumference, and
then struck off towards the bay,
swinging back In a long curve and
landing with a sltght Jar four minutes
later, about 100 feet or so from the
starting point. It was Uuey'a first
really successful flight and he was
heartily cheered by his fellow-workers
and mechanics, all Chinese.
In previous attempts, the aeroplane
had always come to grief, necessitating
weeks of repair before another trial
could be made. The aeroplane used to
day by Fung Joe Guey. a biplane com
bining some of the principles of the
Firman type, with those of the Wright
brothers craft. Is the third or fourth
machine constructed by 'the Chinese, all
the others having been wrecked or dis
carded In favor of better Ideas.
Immigration officials and customs
Inspectors are today said to be gnash

enough to keep the Chinese out now,
without having them dropping in on

DEBATE OPENS IN HOUSE
Ohloan Says Treaty Requires Neu
tralization, Alabaman Says Ne
cessity Requires Fortification
for Our Own Safety.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. The open
ing gun In the fight for the fortifica
tion of the Panama Canal was fired in
the House of Representatives today,
although the postofftce bill ostensibly
was under consideration. Keifer, of
Ohio, spoke for an hour in favor of the
neutralization of the canal. He was
answered by Hobson. of Alabama.
General Keifer declared that the lat
est estimate of $12,000,000 for the forti
fication of the canal would not be suf
ficient. He asserted that It would cost
at least $100,000,000 to fortify the canal
so that It could be held against the at
tack of a flrse-class power.
General Keifer asserted that the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, which is still In
effect, specifically provides for the
neutralization of the Isthmian water
way. He declared that during the con
sideration of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty In the Senate all amendments
looking to the striking out of the neu
tralisation clause were voted down.
Canal Exposes Coasts to Enemy.
Hobson took Issue with Keifer on
many points. He said that no nation
having a vital Interest at stake ever
undertook to guard and protect it
through neutralization. He added:
"With the building of the Suez Canal
communication between Europe and
Asia was settled. The communication
between Europe and Asia Is not af
fected by the Panama Canal, but the
Panama Canal will put every foot of
coast line on the western shores of all
the Americas at the mercy of European
powers. It will put every foot of coast
line on the Atlantic and the Gulf coasts
of the Americas at the mercy of any
Asiatic power, which they were not be
fore. "What It connects Is tie Americas.
It puts the East and West In communi
cation. It Is essentially an American
proposition. It Is a proposition of the
western hemisphere.
Canal Purely American Affair.

er of Europe to Join us in this purely
American affair, we snau simpiy
gate the Monroe doctrine.
T . vin ha,. & war In which the
Panama Canal Is not Involved and In
which no enemy could seize It. a war
with an Asiatic power, with our fleet
in the Atlantic, then the war win be on
the American shores. Involving- an oc
cupation of the Pacific Coast. But if
you have the Panama Canal, through
which American ships alone can pass
and come out and form on the Pacific
side, all the war games show that the
war operations will take place on the
coast of Asia.
History is filled with precedents,
showing that you cannot get security
through an international treaty of in-
. . I nkllfffltlnn, linnn which YOU
can rest vital Interests of America, par
ticularly where they are not accoraimt
to the policies of other nations."

"Abolish Senate," Chlcagoan Snys.
WAPHINGTON, Jan. 19. "Abolish the
Senate" is the burden of a telegram
addressed to Speaker Cannon and a
number of Representatives today by a
Chlcagoan. as an outgrowth of the in

that every Senator has paid for his
votes in ways no better than the Il

address at the annual banquet of the
Lake Carriers' Association tonight. He
added:
"The nations of the earth know our
