Which He Was President, and Sail

A dispatch from New York say
that Charles W. Morse, less thai
five months ago worth 10000, 900

ice trusts, capitalized at $4,000,
600, and in control Of a chain O.

promisory notes long over due.
Twice Morse has been before the
grand jury where he was subjected tc
grilling examinations. 1t is known
that indictment has been determined
upon by the jurors, but it is stated
by District, Attorney Jerome that he
knows Of no reason why Morse
should fee, 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
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 s750,000. 1t is already
mortgaged for a large amount and
has been attached in a suit by R. A.
c. Smith for s155,753.36 in 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

idencies and directorates in banks he
controlled, his reputation by the
management OF the re-orsanized
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, MoTse's
fortune is believed to have been
swept away in three months.
Reports of Morse's loses followed
each other in rapid succession. One
of these was that the creditor banks
might unite in making him an in
voluntary bankrupt, thus asoro1ng
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 s243,321.
Copies Of the attachment have been
served on officers Of the Il 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

90 YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD 1871
It's Chief Use and a Method Of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by ~corroding metallic lead into a white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes OF weak acotiC acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder Is then ground
and mixed with linsccd oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it Is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins It down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad.
dition OF more llnsecd oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adultcratcd
and fake White Lead" OF which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytcs or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used TO make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There Is, however, a positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved OF exposed, be.
