HARBOR Is ICEBOUND
Conditions Around New York
Growing Worse Hourly.
FERRYBOATs ARE TIED UF
FIoes Interfere with All Side-vheel-
ers, and Even the screw Boats
at Lackawaaua Railroad Ferry
Springs AIeak, Nearly COIIapsing.

New York. Feb. S.-Instesd OF improv-
ing, the icebound conditions Of the haT-
Dor are growing worse. and tonight il
is predicted that If the weather does not
moderate within a day or two. navigation
for all exoept the larger craft will be
stopped.
The ice blocks are larger than have
been seen in the waters about New York
for years. and pilots are refusing to run
the risk OF taking their vessels between
them.
The screw boats have fared better than
their sidewheel companions, which have
nearly ali given up temporarily, being
newer and stronger and having their
motive power far enough under water to
clear all but the deepest ice.
Ferries Are Tied I'D.
In the worst OF the foes to-day many
Of the older ferries did not risk passage,
and for hours the boats Of the Union
Ferry Company were withdrawn from
service entirely. The Hamilton Avenue
and South Ferry lines to Brooklyn had
boats caught in midstream, with the pas
sengers and teams, for more than three
hours The ebbing tide finally released
them. From twenty-five TO forty minutes
behind schedule was the experience Of
most of the lines.
An accident that threatened to put the
Barclay street ferry of the Lackawanna
Railroad out Of business for some hours,
happened earlier in the day. Weakened
by the pack ice which was jammed into
the slip by the tide and passing boats,
the pontoon supporting the bridge sprung
aleak.
Feared Bridge Would Sink.
The water rushed into the supporting
air chamber, and it soon became appar-
ent that unless something was done both
pontoon and bridge would sink. The El-
mira was then coming into the slip.
AS soon as the passengers were dis
charged the boat was run under the bridge.
lifting it. The boat was tied in position
and the pumps on the dock started
clearing out the water which had come
! into the hollow support. It was several
hours before the slip could be used.

New York, Feb. S-The report that
Charles W. Morse is on his way back TO
New York, having sailed this afternoon
on the Etruria. has given the financial
world the biggest sensation it has had in
months.
Morse's arrival, it is limited. Will be fol-
lowed by an upheaval beside which even
the recent market crash will pale into in
significance. Morse is coming back 10
fight his friends say.
What this means has caused certain
hnanciers to shudder. If Morse wants to
tell everything he knows TO "a Federal
grand jury, it is more than limited the
biggest financial scandal Of years may be
given an airing.
Angered by SIurs.
Among Morse's friends it is broadly
hinted that the information cabled him
that he is wanted as witness before the
grand jury was the thing that Influenced
him 10 an immediate return. although his
health demanded a rest
Slurs cast at him since his departure
have angered Morse, it is said. He is
prepared for fight to a finish with his
enemies. If the fight is to be waged in
Federal criminal proceedings, Morse's
friends openly say he viii not be the
only one hurt.
A complete investigation of his banking
system and promoting methods is what
IS before the grand jury.
when Morse gets back and starts to
really fight there may be few other
hnanciers who may find it convenient to
take trips abroad. 1 doubt if they will
return as speedily as he has done. was
the way one friend of the deposed 'ice
king" sized the situation up tonight.
Not Deserted by Friends.
The words echo the sentiment Of all OF
Morse's friends. He still has many, de
spite financial troubles in which he is
involved.
To say q semi-panic exists in certain
quarters is not stating the case too
strong. The financial world which was
quick to say, when it learned of Morse S
departure, that ne had fed and would
probably never return, now wishes it had
not talked 90 hastily.
Even in circles where any revelations
Morse can make threaten no danger to in

threatened scandal should give business

arena in the battles his numerous enter
prises necessitated. With the aggrava-
ton given Morse he now has no reason
to shield any one.
Men deeply indebted 20 him have turned
on him when they thought he was safely
out Of the way. If Morse is vengeful
when he arrives, it is pointed out, he will
be able to make things decidedly interest

In self-defense, it is also stated, Morse
is bound to fight hard. His enemies have
declared they propose 10 drive him out Of

II Morse falls completely, it is limited,
he will not fall alone. It is the danger of

StimsOn shields His Character.
United States District Attorney Sumson
to-day added to the scare Of Morse's enc
mics by giving an interview in which he
mildly defended the man.
/ Whenever a man is under investiga-

ments are possible, it is not right to have
false atmosphere created about him. It
is my duty to protect him from that at
mosphere. That is what I am seeking

Stmson's reference to false atmos-
phere" is what has caused the scare.
/ It is presumed that the come back

! counsel at the instance of United States
District Attorney Stmson was among
those delivered to him upon his arrival
at Liverpool.
