MORSE CREDITORS FAIL.
Not Successful in Having Him De
clared a Bankrupt.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Charles w
Morse has won temporary advantage in
his fight to escape the bankruptcy into
which certain creditors are attempting tC
force him. Alleging insufficiently secured
claims aggregating nearly quarter OF
@ million dollars. Charles A. Hanna, as
receiver for the National Bank of North
America. and two former employees Of the
same institution yesterday filed with
Judge Holt. in the United States circuit
court. a petition that the once multi-mil-
Iionaire ice man be declared bank
rupt.
In opposition counsel for Morse repre-
sented that r. c. Pringle and f. r. Shot
well. two of the petitioners. were not
creditors within the meaning Of the law,
and that their alleged claims were un-
liuuidatable because the operations con-
cerned were based on stock transactions.
Upon these representations the court re-
fused to appoint receiver pending the
determination of the status of each Pc
titioner.
Counsel for the petitioners were conf
dent last night that the move of Morse
would serve only to briefly delay an in
evitable receivership.

ELEVATOR BOY A HERO
SAVED A SERIOUS PANIC AMONG
FACTORY GIRLS.

NEW YORK, March 14.-One hundred
girls employed in the candy factory OF
Arthur Essng at 1872 Pearl street were al
work today on the fourth and fifth floors
when fire was discovered in the bottom
Of the elevator shaft, preventing their
exit by the stairways. While some of the
male employees fought the fire Henry
Coch, the elevator boy, ran his elevator to
the top floor and said to the girls in as
cool a manner as he could assume
There is fire in the basement. Maybe
you had better let me take you down.
Reassured by his GOODNESS the girls were
saved from panic, and Coch took five ele-
vator loads of them to the first floor be-
fore the flames reached such height in
the elevator we'll that he was compelled
to abandon the car. On his last trip the
fire burst into the car and burned his
hands.
The girls who were not taken out by
Coch took to the roof and the fire escapes
and reached the ground safely. The fire
consumed tons of candy and the firemen
were hampered by the dense smoke from
it and by the bursting of five lengths of
hose under high pressure.
Traffic on the I'd avenue elevated road
was stopped, and the firemen fought the
fire from that structure. The factory, a
five-story building, was practically de-
strOyed.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The level of prices of local securities
was changed somewhat at the meeting
today of the stock exchange and an ad-
vance was made in several instances with
out attracting sellers.
At the outset a good deal of attention
was given to the bond list, and the mar
ket for them proved to be quite active.
and if higher figures had been all that
was wanted there would have been d
much larger volume of business done.
There is no question that the higher fig
ures are needed before owners of such Sc
curties will be willing to part with them.
and while the recent upward course has
been considerable. especially when COM
pared with the levels which have been
left behind. still it is apparent the
progress has not been sufficient to meet
with the ideas of the holders as to the
values of their securities.
A considerable block of the bonds of
the Capital Traction Company sold for
Railway and Electric Companys bonds
sold for ~ The bid for the latter re-
manned at the close at IGN. with the
asking price at IS.
Better figures were put in both for the
common and the preferred stock of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, but that did not add to the record
of the transactions recorded to any extent.
In the case of the common stock the bid
rose to 2i14. an advance of over two
points compared with the closing bid
of yesterday.
A bid that was little better than half
a point over that of yesterday for the
preferred stock brought out fifty shares
and ten shares went for 70I2. At the
close the bid remained at 20. which is an
increase of half a point over that of the
preceding day.
Gas stock also shared to some extent in
this rise and the bid of 611a took the place
of u Z. of yesterday However. there did
not appear to be any anxiety on the part
of the holders of this stock TO come into
the market and the prevailing rates then
were shown in the case of the other secu-
rites in which an attempt was made to
trade so that the asking price remained at
65. d safe enough distance from posi-

STRAUS ON STOCK TICKER.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Writes for Students.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, March 14.-Oscal
S. Straus. Secretary of Commerce and
Labor said yesterday. In the Yale News
that the stock ticker is a sign of moral re-
generation. He said: Commerce has beer
yariously described as an art and sci
ence Industry is an art, finance is q
science, and suppose when finance takes
industry under its wings it becomes an
artful science. One of the chief func-
tions of the department which l admin
lister is to open up the highways and by
ways OF this artful science to the SUM-
light of public opinion, and SO long as
public opinion is sound and healthy it will
kill off all the wriggling and squirmins
vermin that burrow through the moral
fabric of our financial and political Sys-
TENS
Is a delicate and sensitive electrical in
strument, should register this moral re-
generation IS a sign of health and not of
disease, and the physician who detects
the germs of that disease which is sap
ping public confidence and poisoning the
Industrial and political body is a bene-
factor of his country and prophet of his
generation.
There can be no liberty without oppor-
tunity, and to the extent that opportunity
Is abridged, whether by the state or by
corporate power, it is denial OF liberty.
1t is oppression. and 1t is no less oppres-
sion when 1t emanates from organized
capital or from organized labor. The
fundamental principles of individual liber-
ty lie at the basis of our political sys-
tenn. and no more sacred duty rests upon
the chief executive under the Constitution
than to see that the laws are faithfully
executed.
THE more powerful the capitalistic in
terests grow. the more need is there that
the rights of the masses be guarded. and
that their justified grievances be redress
ed. And SO long as we are faithful to
the fundamental doctrine there is not
now. nor can there ever be, any room in
our country for communism collectivism,
socialism or any other imported ISM but
only for Americanism.'
