MORSE FACES JURY.
He Is Now on Trial for Violating Bank
Laws.

New York, Oct. l5.-Charles W. Morse,

pany, and who until the panic Of a year

ing from an investigation into the con-
duct of the National Bank of North
America after that institution had been
forced to close its doors at the time
OF the panic. Violation of the national
banking laws and conspiracy are alleged
in the indictments. Should the trial re-
suit in conviction and the judgment sub
sequently be affirmed by the higher
courts, there would be no alternative
from a Jail sentence, the penalty for
violation of the national banking law
being from five TO ten years imprison-
ment. 1t was expected that the prose-
cution OF Morse and Curtis would be
fought every inch of the way. The al

charged in the indictments are three in

entries in reports or books of account.

JEROME GOES AFTER POLICE.
He Hears That Gamblers Pay Heavily
for Protection.

New York, Oct. l5.-District Attorney
Jerome took up the gambling situation
in New York Tuesday and subpoenaed
to his office fifteen well known sporting
men, some OF them proprietors of places
on the police list of suspected gambling
houses, TO question them regarding con
ditions in the Tenderloin. So fearful
OF having their places raided were the
majority of the district attorneys Wis
itors that nearly all of the fifteen handed
gave him permission to have an iDspec-
ton made at any time during the day or
night. ut is the common belief along
the Great White Way that gambling
houses have been more widely open dur
ing the past summer than for many
years" said Mr. Jerome. Someone is
being paid for permitting them to run
open. Such condition could not pre-
vail without the police officers in charge
of the precinct being aware that gam
bling was going on. There must also
be acknowledgement of the police depart
ment."
Among those who appeared before the
district attorney Tuesday were Honest"
John Kelley, Lou" Ludum and Lou
Belts, men who have figured in gambling
raids in past years. They were repre-
scented by counsel.
The district attorney said after his
interview with the men that he intended
to investigate every house suspected of
being a gambling house in the Tender
loin and after determining which ones
are dong business to compel the police
to close the places up. Mr. Jerome said
that with force of ten detectives he
could close all the gambling houses in
New York and keep them closed. He
said it was strange, therefore, that the
commissioner of police, with seven thou
sand men under him, could not control
the gambling situation. Mr.. Jerome said
he had been told that the so-ealled high
class gambling houses were paying $3.50
q month each for protection.
