said. "The ..subject I am going to dis

IflLD-EIHERIDGE
Kred S. Morris knows and can tell
if he will,; or can be forced to do
so, the location of missing securities
of Morris Brothers, Inc., bankrupt.
John L. Etheridge knows and will
tell without pressure the location of
additional . and heretofore unlisted
securities of the defunct firm.
These statements made today by
Etheridge who, until his recent "vaca
tion" trip started, was head of the bank
rupt bond house, is in retort to what he
brands the ""verbose" story told by per
sonal attorneys for Morris as "inside"
history of the company's affairs.
DEFENDS MORRIS
In a statement issued Sunday, Dan J.
Malarkey, one of Morris' counselors,
declared that Morris was being made
the "goat" by Etheridge. who had duped
his well-wisher and friend by his dou
ble dealings and who had left him, amid
a shower of falsehoods, to hold the sack
in the wreckage of Morris Bros., Inc.,
while he fled to safety.
"Morris is innocent of wrong-doing,"
Malarkey said, "and his fault was that
he placed tru6t in such a man as
Etheridge. ; It was Etheridge who con
ceived the idea of a thin-air 11,000,000
corporation. Morrts is not in any sense
on trial and we will refuse to have him
answer questions that are not in order.

The port of Portland consolidation

when the Multnomah Jolntj delega
tion will meet for the first time and
take them up for consideration, dis
cussion and indorsement. .
Frank Warren of the- port commission

that all of the members of the commis

members of the dock commission as are
able to attend will also come I to Salem

It is the "expectation of Senator Moser
and other' members of the senate and
house who are backing the six consolida
tion bills that all of the measures will
be indorsed by the delegation tonight
and out before the legislature tomorrow
morning as Multnomah delegation bills.
It is known, however, hat I .there is a
split in the delegation that may or may
not be healed. If the difference of opin
ion Is not composed, however, It is the
intention of the sponsors of the consoli
dation program to dump the bills into
the hopper under the sponsorship of in
dividual members and let them take their
chances on the floor in open battle.
Advocates of the immediate Improve
ment of the North Portland harbor will
contend that definite provision be made
in the financing bill for the expenditure
of some $250,000 on the Columbia slough
channel. If that provision is not In
cuded there is promise of a hot fight,, ln
which it is believed that the upstate
delegations from the stock raising and

for waists of Oregon manufacture.
