MORSE ASSERTS He
Is WITHOUT FUNDS
Convicted Banker Declares He
Has Not Sufficient Money
to Pay His Debts

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-CharIes w.
Morse, who two years ago was rated
as being worth more than $50, ,000, 900
swore under oath today that he had not
enough money or securities left from
his vast fortune to pay his debts.
This revelation was made when
Morses attorneys appeared in the
United States circuit court of appeals
to argue for the admission of Morse
to bail. Morse, who had been sentenced
TO 10 years imprisonment at hard labor
In the federal prisonsat Atlanta Ga.
was not permitted to leave the Tombs
prison today, but an affidavit made by
him was read. The motion was argued
before Judges Lacombe, Ward and Cox
and decision was reserved.
1t had not been expected that Morse
would make the plea that he was bank
rupt. as ever since the financial panic.
which swept the greater part of his
fortune away. he has maintained that
he would be able to adjust his affairs
TO the satisfaction of all his credtors
w. Mace MacFarlane appeared in his
behalf and talked for 40 minutes The
lawyer quoted from the opinion of
Judge Hough in refusing to grant bail,
in which Judge Hough said that no
amount of bail would be sufficient to
insure the appearance in court of such
a wealthy man as Morse when he was
wanted.
MORSE UNABLE TO PAY DEBTS
Mr.. MacFarlane said:
II have an affidavit here from Morse
himself in which he states that he is
not rich man. Mr.. Morse says that
he is in sense impoverished and that
his assets would not pay his debts, and
that IT is doubtful if they ever would.
If Morse is allowed bail his old friends
would have TO provide it, The state
ment that he is millionaire is false and
further information will be given to
the district attorney if he desires it."
Mr.. MacFarlane then went on to say
that the only reason for refusing bail
that he could see was the fear that
Morse would run away The LAWYER
called attention to the fact that when
Morse was indicted he was on his way
to Europe, but he came back immedi-
ately.
In referring to the sentence imposed
upon Morse. MacFarlane termed it
ruthless and almost unprecedented"
United States District Attorney Slim
son, who prosecuted the case against
Morse. said in opposing the granting
of bail:
Il believe that the right of granting
bail in a case of this character should
be exercised, if at all, by the trial
Judge He is the one who is most
familiar with the position of the de-
fendant and his views, his discretion
and his decision are entitled to great
weight. Judge Hough denied the ap-
plication for bail and stated the two
controlling causes in his decision, first
as to any reasonable ground of error.
and second, the effectiveness of bail
to produce the defendant when the
final decree of the court is to be
passed"
DISTRICT ATTORNEY REPLIES
The district attorney said it was
ridiculous TO represent Morse as being
a pauper in view of Morse's statements
during the trial to the extent of his
financial transactions. He added that
II would be wrong to permit a surety
company to furnish bail. saying that

The next largest petition was from

fishing or hunting without license. 1t
has been known that such a petition

arose considerable opposition to it on
account of the fact that lots of poor

GROWING BUSINESS
COMPELS ENLARGEMENT
Stereotyping Plant Being Installed and
Other Additions Will Be Made to the
Mechanical Equipment of Hatties-
burg's Leading Paper.

When the Daily News came into ex-
istence eighteen months ago the quart
ers which the paper now occupies were
amply large for it's needs. But the
business has grown, almost continual
ly since its first issue. Four months
ago our job department was abolished
to make room for the increased bust
ness of the paper. This was a tempo
rary relief but the space thus secur-
ed was soon occupied and new floor
area has since been made necessary
to accommodate additional equipment.
For several weeks the management
of the paper has been on the outlook
for larger quarters, but the problem
was solved yesterday, when a five-year
lease was closed on the entire first
floor of the building where the office is
now located. This will add 500 feet
of floor space to the mechanical de-
partment, thus affording ample room
for immediate needs.
A complete sterotyping plant is be-
ing installed and the paper will short
ly be in a position to make it's own
illustrations. Other additions will be
made to the mechanical equipment
from time to time and the news SER
vice of the paper will constantly be
improved.
The News now enjoys the largest
circulation of any newspaper in South
Mississippi and this is constantly in
creasing. 1t also leads in local adver-
Using and in the esteem and conf
dence of the people of the community.
And the News will keep pace with
the growth and development of Hat.
tiesburg and South Mississippi.

Litigation Will Be Instituted by the

Daily News Special.

Jackson, Miss, September 1O.-Pre-
liminary to instituting legal proceed
ings attacking the constitutionality of
the pure feedstuffs bill passed at the
last session of the legislature, several
wholesalers and jobbers, accompanied
by their attorneys yesterday made a
careful examination of the legislative
records relative to the passage of that
measure
The litigation will be instituted by
the Gulfport Grocery Company, and it
is expected that the suit will be filed
within the next few days. Mr.. George
NJ. Foote, of Gulfport, president of that
concern, was among the wholesalers
who participated in the examinat ion
of the records. He was accompanied
by Messrs. Lee Simpson, N. R. Drum
mond, w. NJ. Conner and others.
When the pure feedstuffs bill was
pending in the legislature it was Wig
orously attacked by Hon. l. L. Dor
rob, member from Noxubee County,
who pointed out many alleged defects
in the measure, and it was freely pre-
dicted at that time that the bill would
be subjected to legal test. The
measure was passed, however, and
when it was presented in enrolled
form to Col. H. NJ. Street, speaker of
the house, for signature, he declined
to attach him name thereto unless spe-
officially instructed by the members to
do so. This instruction was given. and
it is on this point that the constitu-
tional attack will be made.
