ITO Pay OLD SCORES" "
Friend Of Banker Says He Viii
.4mGss .4nother Fortune

All doubts of the wherea bouts of Charles w.
Morse we're dispelled early last evening by the
dispatch from Queenstown saying that he had
been found on board the Campania. His friends
are now confident he will be hack in the city in
another fortnight. Both his counsel, Albert b
Foard-7zn and Mrs Morse had said positively
earlier in the day that Mr.. Morse had sailed last
Saturday on the steamer, Mrs Morse adding
that she had seen him off at the pier.
Mr.. Boardman said that he was glad 10 hear
that NJ. Morse was in good condition physically
on his arrival. end although he had received no
positive word from his client sure that he
would return in another week MI Stirnson
said that he was glad to have his conviction
that Mr Morse was on the Campania confirmed
Philip J. Britt. Mr.. Morses counsel in many
cases. said that he had been sure that his client
had sailed.
7 net him Friday he said. ''and he told me
that he was intending sail the next day on the
Csnpania- L told him that thought il was
rather an IL advised thing 10 do just now, but
he said that l. would be all right, he was
going 20 return IL a week or so. He said he
wanted n go for two reasons. business and
pleasure but that his stay would be brief as
possible.
"A month or more before he sailed Mr.. Morse
wrote 10 United States District Attorney Slim
son thar ne understood tie federal grand jury
might nis testimony about the national
hanks and as he wanted to go abroad then he
would like 20 appear before the jury soon as
he could. that il might not dsarrange his plans
Nr Stirnson did not call him. however, and he
sailed last Saturday. as he had been planning
to 90"
They viii not be glad TO see Morse as
they might be when he gets back in Wall
Street" said an old acquaintance Of the banker
yesterday. AS soon as he gets this muddle
cleared UP there's going 10 be trouble for some
one- Morse can always get big following and
he will get hack hard al those who have been
pounding him the last few months. There's
not much doubt that he can get another
big fortune together if he tries and he is likely
in amaSsng fl TO pay of all the scores which
have been accommodating for some time. He
never has failed TO get even with his enemies
before, ard unless he is hit harder than is
thought IS not likely 10 do so now"
BOARDdAN BEFORE GRAND JURY.
The federal grand jury had Mr. Boardman
before il for long time yesterday, and inme-
clstely after the lawyer WAS dismissed Will
ian !. Flynn, chief Of the local Secret Service
bureau, went into the office Of United States
Attorney Stinlson and had q conference with
him This visit Of the Secret Service man was
generally accepted as having to do with the
Morse case. but il could not be confirmed.
Like =y-Juetice OBren. who was before the
fedora grand jury on Thursday, Mr. Board

length about the reported sale Of a big block

Later Mr.. Boardraan said to a Tribune
1crter- I have no doubt that the reporter who
sent the dispatch saw Mr. Morse. but it is ridicu

Similar 10 his own as Q NJ Moore.
I think it is all nonsense TO talk about his

are making a mountain out of a molehill in this
