MILLIONAIRE MORSE LANDED.
Return From Europe of Central Figure
in Divorce Tangle

NEW YORK, February 1.-Charles w.
Morse, former president of the American
Ice Company and promoter of an extensive
bank consolida ton plan in this city, who
has long been the central figure in one of
the most sensational matrimonial tangles
of recent years. arrived here today on the
steamer Deutschland after prolonged
stay in Europe. Mrs. Clemence Cowles
Dodge-Morse, the millionaire's wife, did not
accompany her husband. Mr.. Morse said
that he had returned to answer any charges
that may be made.
During the absence of Mr.. Morse abroad
the long and searching investigation of the
Dodge divorce reached a point where the
grand jury of New York county returned
criminal indictments against at least half
a dozen persons, among them two lawyers
of wide prominence. Some of the indict-
mentS returned by the jury have not yet
been made public and 1t was believed that
further sensational developments would
quickly follow the arrival~of the steamer on
which Mr.. Morse took passage from the
other side.
No announcement officially had been made
as to what course the authorities having
the Dodge-Morse tangle investigation in
hand would pursue, but 1t was believed
that an attempt would be made to supple
ment the evidence already in possession Of
the districts attorneys Office by requiring
the appearance and testimony of Morse.
