MORSE RAN AWAY.
Big Trust Magnate Now a FugI,
tive From Justice.

ed For Liverpool.

ed For Liverpool.
A dispatch from New York say.
that Charles w. Morse, less thar
five months ago worth $20,OOO,OOO
head of the Coastwise ship, and the
Ice trusts, capitalized at $127,OOO,.
600, and In control of a chain OF
banks, capitolized at $1O,O0O,0OO,
is a fugitive from justice, HAVING
sailed from New York for Liverpool
When this came to light Receiver
Hanna the official OF the federal
government, who has charge of in
vestigation that the grand jury is
making into the bank Juggling which
led to the failure OF the Bank OF
North America. has attached his
Fifth avenue mansion for $243,321.-
20 due by Morse to the bank on
promisory notes long over due.
Twice Morse has been before the
grand jury where he was subjected to
grilling examinations. 1t is known
that indictment has been determined
upon by the jurors. but 1t is stated
by District Attorney Jerome that he
knows OF no reason why Morse
should nee, fearing criminal prose
cution.
Mrs. Morse, who was dragged
through the scandals attendant upon
the Dodge-Morse divorce case that
landed Abe Hummel on Blackwell's y
island, is living alone in the mansion
at No. 72S Fifth Avenue. This stands
in the name of Morse, and is said to
be worth S750,0O0. 1t is already
mortgaged for a large amount and
has been attached in suit by r. A.
c. Smith for $155.753.36 In a claim
for conditional sale OF five hun
dred shares OF National Bank of
North America stock and also libell-
ed by the federal government for
s243,321.25.
In the wreck that followed the
driving out OF Morse from his pres
idencies and directorates in banks he
controlled, his reputation by the
management Of the re-organized
ship trust. the dropping out OF sight
OF values of the ice trust stock and
the wreck of banks that has follow
ed the revelation of banking meth
DDS that have been criticised, Morse's
fortune is believed to have been
swept away in three months.
Reports of Morse's loses followed
each other In rapid succession. One
or these was that the creditor banks
might unite in making him an in
voluntary bankrupt, thus asorbing
the remnants OF his fortune. Deputy
sheriffs were kept busy serving cop
les OF the attachment In the suit
brought by Charles A. Hanna, re-
ceiver for the National Bank OF North
America, in New York, against Morse
to recover $243.321.
Copies OF the attachment have been
served on officers OF the IA banks in
which Morse was supposed to have
accounts. A deputy sheriff has
seized 6,409 shares of stock OF the
Furnace Valley Copper. said to be
owned by Morse. Another levied on
stock in the Kingsland Copper Com
pany, said to have been owned by
Morse. A deputy sheriff also has
served a copy OF the attachment of
K. A. Wilson. in charge OF the Morse
resident in 9Th avenue.

SIX MILL TAX.
Likely to be Levied for State Pur-
poses This Year.
This Would Be an Increase Of q Mill
and = Half Over the Tax Sf Last

Year.
The appropriation bill which was
presented to the House Friday by the
ways and means will carry the levy
to five and one-half mills, and per-
haps to six mills. The levy for 1907
Is four and one-half mills, which was
not sufficient to raise the appropria-
tions
The bill as reported will carry
$4,000 for the new auditorium
building desired by the University of
South Carolina; also $43,744 for
support and other items, which will
bring the appropriation for the Uni
versity to sS3,569.64. as against
S64,03S.93 last year.
For Winthrop College, the sum of
S64, ,435.22 is given for support, and
$4,000 additional for septic tanks,
raising the total amount to S7S,O59.-
80 as against $74,563.7O last year.
This sum does not include the s24,-
600 voted for a new dormitory, nor
the S12,500 for practice school, al
ready appropriated.
For the Citadel, the sum Of $780,
600 to repair the recently purchased
police station is included, together
with the $500 due as second pay
ment on the purchase, making the
total appropriation $62,75O. as
against s35,75O last year.
For the industrial school at Flor
For continuing the Improvement of
the State House grounds the sum of
$4,000 is given, the commission
having asked for $4,000.
The appropriation for the depart
ment OF immigration is as follows:
Salary Of commissioner, $1,000;
clerk 1900; expenses, $1,000: stem
ographer, $500; handbook, $4,000
Total, $10.700. as against $4,000
last year.
There are no other important
changes In any OF the other State
officers except that of Attorney Cen
eral. The salary OF the assistant
Attorney General is raised from ST.
500 to $1,000, the contingent fund is
raised from 5000 to $500, the litiga-
ton fund is placed at $4,000, and
the stenographer is given $500, max
ing a total of S6,725, as against $S,-
075 last year.
The sum of $1,000 given last year
for any prosecutions Of State Off
cials, and $1,000 for prosecuting
the Southern Railway merger suit
are not included this year.
Attorney General Lyon asked for
$4,000 to prosecute the merger suit
and requested that he either be CIV
en- a sufficient amount or be not re-
quired to prosecute the case at all.
The amount asked is not given.
For water supply the amount is
fixed at $4,000, as against $1,000
last year, and this will likely be in
creased on the floor. For interest on
State debt the sum OF 100000 is
allowed. The amount for pensions is
fixed at $25O,O00. the same as last
year, and all other items are prac-
tically unchanged. except those not
ed above. There are no increases in
salaries except small ones already
mentioned.
The committee on ways and means
has spent a great deal of time on the
bill, having several meetings a day,
and Chairman Banks and Secretary
Aull have been about the busiest men
in the General Assembly for the last
two weeks.
