From Cell in Tombs Prison Banker, Sentenced to Is Years, Seeks Freedom
 on Bail.
EXECUTION IS STAYED
Question of Ball to Be Settled on Mon. day--Writ of Error Granted, But New Trial May Not Be
 Granted.

New York, Nov 6.-From cell in the Tombs prison Charles w. Morse now directs the efforts of his counsel to secure his freedom, he having to- day been sentenced to serve fifteen years In the federal prison at Atlanta. Ga, for misapplication of the funds of the National Bank of North Amer lea and making false entries in the books of the bank. Alfred H. Cur tis. former president of the defunct bank, who was jointly tried and con- vlcted with Morse, was given his lib- erty to-day on suspended sentence.
 While Morse's lawyers immediately applied and secured stay of execu- tlon for ten days after sentence had been imposed, still 1t is probable that Morse will remain prisoner in the Tombs until Monday, as Judge Hough has refused to admit the fnancier to bail. The Morse lawyers late to-day applied to the United States circuit court of appeals for writ to show cause why their client should not be admitted to ball. and the writ was granted, but 1t Is not returnable until Monday; hence 1t appears that Morse must remain prisoner until the question of bail is settled on that day.
 Whether new trial will be granted to Morse is problematlcal. Judge La- combe granted writ, of error to Morse's lawyers to-day. This writ Is returnable December and is based on the usual grounds--exceptions ta- ken by the defense during the trial and exceptions to the indictment It. self. This step had to be taken be- fore application for bail could be made, and 1t also leads to the argu. | ment for new trial. The Morse lawyers say their client has instruct cd them to fight Ito the last ditch" Judge Hough suspended sentence or, Alfred IT. Curtis. former president of the National Bank of North America. who, with Morse, was also convicted for misappropriatng the funds of the bank.

INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT
Interstate Commerce Commission
 Quotes Railroads Figures,

Washington, Nov. 6.-ln the opinion of Franklin N, Lane, interstate com- merce commissioner, the railroad fin' ancial and industrial condition of the country Is improving rapidly
 "It is a fact" said he to-day, hardly believable, but nevertheless true, be' cause 1t Is reported by the railroads themselves, that the total operating revenue per mile of railroad for the year ended June 30, 1908, exceeds that of any other year in the history of railroading in the United States except the one year of 1907. This bears out the statement I made last spring that the year would not prove SO unfor- tunate for American railroads as many lugubrious prophets forecasted. The railroads are ordering new cars and rails because they need them. As I predicted, a local car shortage even now exists, Conditions rapidly are be- coming normal and prosperous.

TAM MANY DENIES
 KNITTING BRYAN Boss Murphy Declares His Band Was Loyal to the National Democratic Ticket in
 New York. BRYAN WAS SIMPLY WEAK Cites Four Other Instances Where Subordinate Democratic Nomi- nccs Pulled Through and
 Bryan Lost.
BRYAN WAS SIMPLY WEAK

New York, Nov. 6-Charles F. Mur- phy, leader of Tammany Hall, dictated a statement tonight in which he de- nies specifically that Tammany Hall did not support Bryan,
 Tt is silly to accuse Tammany Hall of knifng the national democratic ticket, taking all the circumstances in to consideration, said Mir. Murphy. Many persons who are making the charge know better, but hope to make political capital at Tammanys ex- pense.
 There is plenty of proof that Tam many was absolutely loyal. The fact that the democratic candidates on the county ticket received far less than the normal democratic majority is proof enough in itself that Tammany was not in any way responsible for the Bryan slump The county ticket suf- fered because of Bryans weakness.
 Before the convention we knew Bryan could not carry New York ana there was nothing until election to change this belief Bryan ran so far behind here just because the people were against him.
 'I notice that Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota elected democratic gov ernors, but Bryan lost them and have not heard any charges of treach' cry to Bryan there. And right here ir Erie county. where MT. Mack is g leader, notice that the county went for Chanler by a good majority, bu' Bryan could not carry It. have mol heard anybody charge Mir Mack witf treachery.
 "There was no treachery The whole result was due only to Bryan's weak ness and the strength of Taft whicl pulled Hughes through"
 Mr. Murphy commented on th' charges of tfeachery made agalns Tammany by Raymond Robins o Chicago, saying that he had written { letter to Mir, Robins demanding tha l the latter prove his charges

WATER FAMINE
 AT WATERBURY Alarming Result of Drought Compels Complete Cutting Off of One Source of
 Supply.
UTTER DEARTH IMMINENT
Unless Conditions Are Relieved by Thorough Replcnishing of Sup plies Water Will Be Entirely
 Run Out in Three Weeks.
Special to the Journal Couricr.)


 Waterbury, Nov, 6,-F'rom events which developed here to-day 1t became evident that this city is facing a serl- ous water famine. The supply from one of the reservoirs which has been supplying the city regularly was en- tirely cut off to-day by the superin- tendent of water because the water has become so low that it Is unfit for use in the city. The reservoir which has been disconnected by the water superintendent Is the large one at West Branch, where the appearance of the water has been very bad for some time. It had become so rank that 1t was considered impossible to allow t to continue in the city mains
 The city Is now connected with the East Mountain supply from which it is figured there will be water enough to supply tho city for twenty days only After that period, unless conditions improve wonderfully so that both supplies are thoroughly TO. plenished Waterbury will be water less aand a famine of alarming pro portions will nold sway.
 What steps are being taken, if any to meet possible and indeed prob able failure of the entire supply Is mol known. Mayor Thoms maintains ab. solutc silence and refers questioners tt Superintendent Kennedy, who appar, ently has no more idea than the mayo, on the subject. They have appar. ently not felt the need of any cXper advice on the matter and City Engin ger Cairns has not been called upor to help out, as far as can be discov cred.
 There are two ways by which tn, East Mountain supply can be turnc, into the city mains, one Is to alloy the water to flow from the upper Q storage reservoir Into the distributing reservoir, from which the city drew lt (Contlnued on Third Page
