MORSE TO QUIT BANKING.
"Othcr Interests" n Friend Says, Have
Absorbed Him for Nearly q Year.

II is understood that interests connected
with the National Bank OF North America
have told their friends that within n short
time August Belmont is to become vice
president OF the bank, to succeed Charles
W. Morse. who has been vice-presldent
since the banks amalgamation with the
State Bank
Mr.. Belmont is now director OF the
Bank of North America and actively in
terested in its affairs. He is also director Of
several other downtown banks. including the
Park Bank, but this will be practically his
only appearance in an executive capacity
with any bank.
None of Mr.. Morse's friends who could
be found yesterday would confirm the re-
port that he was to leave the National Bank
OF North America, nor another thing. that
IL he could carry through his negotiations
for the purchase OF the French line he would
retire altogether from the banking field,
in which he has been well known figure
for years, TO devote his entire attention
to other interests.
A personal friend Of Mr.. Morse said that
while Mr.. Morse before his departure
for Europe had made no mention Of such
an intention, it would not be surprising
II he were to retire from the banking bust
ness. His other interests, having become
very extensive and heavy within the last
year, demanded almost his entire atten-
tion.'
The annual meeting Of the National Bank
of North America, along with that OF other
national banks, will be held on Jan. 10. An
announcement of this change may be made
soon after this.

PUBLICATIONS.
Some manufac-

turers never think of themselves
as advertisers. They have looked
at their business as something
apart from advertising so long
that they cannot even consider
it in relation TO advertising.
This feeling of unfamilisrity
reminds one of the boy in the
mental arithmetic class, The
new teacher said:
"Three cocoanuts from nine
cocoanuts, how many9"
After a long silence a small
boy replied:
Please, ma'am, we always do
our sums in apples"
The manufacturer has thought
OF his business so long in a GER
tain light that the introduction
of even the thought of adver-
Using so disturbs him that he can
see nothing but the upsctting of
conservative methods that he has
been years in establishing.
What that manufactures needs
is flexible attitude, one which
can see all possibilities of ex-
plotting his goods--a man who
can do sums in cocoanuts as we'll
as in apples, who can think of
selling goods by advertising as
we'll as by drummers.
When man has acquired this
facility in business thinking he
viii never look upon six dollars an
agate line in THE LADIES HONE
JOURNAL as an expense. Instead
he will consider it as an invest
ment.

IF ODELL HAS HIS WAY.

Two or the state Chairman's Closest 20.
litical Friends Are Involved In the
Testimony Before the Grand Jury
What WIN Higgins DO About IT.?
The presentment OF the Grand Jury OF
New York county charging that bribery
fund had been collected by the Liquor
Dealers Association for the purpose OF
influencing legislation at Albany last win
ter has been forwarded TO Gov. Higgins.
Chairman Odell was disturbed yesterday
over this news.
Republicans close to Odell are we'll aware
that the evidence before the Grand Jury
involved two of Mr.. Odell's closest political
friends, one now occupying high place in
Albany and tho other holding u high place
in the Republican organization of New York
county II Is within tho discretion OF Gov,
Higgins and the Legislature 70 order an
investigation Of tho New York county
Grand Jury's presentment and to sift the
evidence on which the presentmcnt was
based.
1t has been ascertalned that one Of the
Republicans involved is known to have
been bride taker when an Assemblyman
at Albany and also 10 have been n bride
involved is said TO have had a clean record
up TO this time and even now asserts that he
acted only as an attorney" in the matter.
Chairman Odell, 1t was said. will use all
of his influence to prevent Gov. Higgins
from urging an investigation OF tho pre-
continent and the evidence submitted TO
him by the Grand Jury of New York county.
as there could be but one outcome-one or
both Of the Republicans would be convicted
OF bribery and landed in Jail.
ALBANY. Jan. e.--Gov. Higgins said
tonight that the question whether he
would make an investigation of tho Now
York county Grand Jury's presentment
as TO the bribery fund collected by the
Liquor Dealers Association TO influence
legislation at Albany last winter would
depend upon what he found in the pre-
sentiment. Ho has not yet had an oppor-
tunity TO read it, He might give out

after reading it he deemed such course
advisable.

W. p. Emo has letter in to-day's Issue
OF the Rider and Drirer critioising the pres-
ent police regulation of traffic in the Column
bus Circle He does not think it is at all
necessary to foroe vehicles to go through
Fifty-eighth street or Sixty-irst street.
The only regulation required, he says,
outside of the strict enforcement OF the
police rules for driving. is that all traffic
should go around the Circle from left TO
right, that is, in the reverse direction to
the hands OF watch.
This would keep, as do the present regu-
lations the stream of vehicles all going in
the same direction and would not neoess-
tate such long distance to be covered as
at present MIR. Emo advocates the putting
up Of large enamel signs containing direc-
tons for drivers. The use Of these, he
says. would make unnecessary the employ
ment OF 80 many police at that point.
