MORSE CASE IS
DANGER signal

Galveston, Texas. Nov. 12-John w.
Gates, who has returned from the east
to take up his home for the winter at
Port Arthur, sees warning hand in
the fifteen year sentence of Charles w.
Morse, the financier.
1T Will undoubtedly have the effect
of bringing some of the high manipu-
lators of other peoples money to their
senses.
Very few bankers or financiers in
tentionally swindle or steal, but in the
manipulation of big deals involving
millions, they become venturesome. All
is well while the investments are In
the ascendancy, but sometimes the un-
expected happens and before one can
recover, the millions are gone.
THE day has come when banks
must tote straight with the money en-
trusted to them or suffer the conse-
quences."

Rescuers arrived from all directions
