NEW YORK, Nov. 6--Charles w
Morse, whose sensational rise in the
world of finance dnzxied America. wa.
sentenced today to serve ifteen years
in prison for misrepresentation of the
funds of the National Bank OF Nortl
AmericH, of which he was director
and controlling owner.
Alfred III. Curtis, fcrmer president Of
the bank, who had been Jointly indicted
with Morse and with him found guilty
by Jury In the Federal Court yester-
day. was granted the clemency recom-
meDded by the jury. In his case sem
tcnce was suspended.
A stay of ten days in execution OF
Morse's sentence was granted upon ap-
plication of counsel, and 1t is expected
that an appeal from both the convic-
tion and the sentence will be taken i'm
mediately
Morse was taken to the Tonbs Pri-
son at i o'clock this afternoon. At
that time 1t was announced that no
application for his release on bail
would be made today.
Morse Plucky to the End.
Morse sat like a stole when he heard
the words which condemned him to pri-
son. There was scarcely the tremor Of
there was no longer even the shadow Of
a doubt that the little man was indeed
man of iron nerve.
Curtis, too, accepted the news which
came to him-good news in his case
with the same lack of emotion that
characterized his former chief.
Mrs. Morse collapsed in her seat,
buried her face in her hands and began
to sob convulsively.
Still weeping she was led away to an
anteroom, where a moment later her
husband held her in his arms and
sought to console her.
Mrs. Curtis sat within the rail gag
ing intently at Judge Hough as he
began to speak. When the judgment
of the court-the most favorable for
her husband that could be given-was
pronounced. she fanted.
Ex-Judge Olcott made touching ap
peal for clemency for Curtis.
District-Attorney Stimson informed
the court that he believed justice would
be served by suspendlng sentence in
the case of Curtis.
Judge Hough's words.
"In the cnsc of Morse there is not
much to be said," said Judge Hough.
"As In all bank fraud cases, the GRIM
inal legality is only part of n larger
scheme. In this cnse, this was
to use the bank and the depositorS'
money for speculative purposes. II
such scheme were permitted to he
carried out the public would he at
the mercy of band of adventurers.
! therefore sentence you to fftecn
years I'm the Federal prison at Attain

When Curtis came out a free man,
with his wife leaning on his arm, nc
was given a rousing cheer.

Newark Manager Finally Signs
With New York Ameri-
can Leaguers.
HAS HARD TASK AHEAD
TO ELEVATE TAIL-ENDERS
Local Plans in Doubt, and Nonii-
nal Sale of Franchise
May Be Had.

George I. Stallings will manage the
New York American League baseball
team next season. That doesn't sound
exactly new, statements to that effect
having gone the rounds for the last
two months, but this time there Is no
doubt about it. Frank ]. Farrell'
owner and president of the Yankees,
himself makes the formal announce
ment
The New York magnate summoned
the newspaper men to his office yester-
day and handed out the following:
After considering numerous offers /
have today closed with George T. STALL
ings to manage the New York Ameri
can League team. Mr.. Stallings as
sumes his duties with absolute control
of the teams affairs. The engagement
of Mr.. Stsllings as manager Of the
New York Americans meets with the
approval of President Johnson and the
team owners of the American League.
The club already has expended more
than 100000 for new talent to strength
en- the team next year and will do its
utmost to provide winning ball at
American League Park"
The departure of Stallings means that
Newark will see a new manager here
next season. Many have been men
toned in connection with that berth,
but the probable choice is not yet
known. 1t may be. too, that the New
ark club viii change ownership, but In
name only. for Farrell is undoubtedly
the owner Of the local franchise, and II

Needed at Once.

The H. n. Worthington Company,
manufacturers Of steam pumps, an
nounced today that the prosperity
wave had struck It with such force
that 1t would soon be compelled to put
ON it's full complement of employees.
more than 5000 men. Its plant is In

At the same time the LidServvoOd
Manufacturing Company, Of Newark,
manufacturers of hoisting machinery,
announced it's intention of soon OPEN
ing up its works to full force, about
1000 men.
An official Of the Worthington COM
pany said today that he believed such
O decided Improvement would be shown
by the latter part of this month as to
warrant the employment OF many more
men than are now in the works, and
that by the first of the year the pump
works in Harrison would have on its
payroll more than 5000.
The Worthlngton company has been
running the best part of a year on. part
time. some of the departments beng
entirely shut down and others curtailed
by many thousands Of employees.
The Lidgerwood company, which at
full time employs about 1000 men, has
been running on part time and small
forces for many months. Soon after

all hands back at work.
Mr.. Dunn. president of the pump

said that his firm had received a num-
Der of orders some time ago, subject

Mr. Dunn, Ito get our big plant in
working order, and that will be about
the latter part of this month, but 1 ex-
pect that before Christmas we will be
running full time with a full force of
men,"
Reports from all parts of the countr.

greater than that predicted by the Re-

Invite Eminent Newarkers

TREASURY PORTFOLIO
FOR PRUDENTIAL CHIEF
Senator Kean, II Is Said Favofs
Foreign Mission for Ex- -dov-
ernor to Clear Senate Field.

Jerseymen are likely to be prominent
beneficiarcies as the result of the cleo
ton of William II. Taft to be Presi
dent. and the report has been circu-
lated quietly that former United States
Senator John f. Dryden may be made
member of the Taft Cabinet, as Sec
retary of the Treasury.
1t is also regarded as a strong proba-
bility that Franklin Murphy will be
made an ambassador
Apart from the fact that Mr.. Dryden
and MIR. Taft are close personal and
social friends, Mr.. Taft Is said to be
lieve that Mr.. Dryden possesses the
knowledge of financial questions that
win enable him ably to hold the treas
ury portfolio.
1t is known that the attention of
financiers In all parts of the countr-'
has been attracted to Mr.. Dryden by
the success he has made of the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company, and some
of the most prominent New York
financiers. it Is known, are ready to
back MIR. Dryden for the place.
Another strong possibility is that for
mer Governor Franklin Murphy may
be selected as an ambassador to for
ei i country. United States Senator
Jo Kean would be willing to<forward
this purpose. because in 1911. when Sen
ator Kean's successor will be chosen,
Mr.. Murphy, il in the State. will prob
ably be the most formidable antagonist
for the seuatorship.
I5r. Murphy is another intimate of
the President elect, and during tho
campaign was one of the nine members
s, lected from the entire country to nc
members of Mr.. Taft's personal ad
visory committee.
These are the most valuable appoint
ments likely to come to the State, but
New Jersey will probably have more
influence in the Taft administration
thar it has had in national affairs
since Hobart was Vice President and
j hn w. Griggs was attorney general.
