OFFERED
BY COMMITTEE
President HeaIy of Stationary
Firemen Backs Up State
ment as to Keefe.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Democratic
national committee issued a statement
tonight quoting Timothy Healy. presi-
dent of the International Brotherhood
of Stationary Firemen, as authority
for the allegation that Daniel j. Keefe
had been promised by the president
appointment as commissioner general
of immigration in return for the De
troit labor leaders support of Mr.
Taft. The national committee had
promised to make known its informant
if the charge was denied, as it has been
by both Keefe and at the White
House.
Hediy's Statement.
The national committee quotes Mr.
Healy, in part, as follows:
Il was in Washington Wednesday
Of last week on a matter dealing with
our organization, which brought me III
contact with an official of high stand
ing in the government service.
He said 10 me: Dan Keefe has been
selected as commissioner of immigra-
ton.
Is that so?'
Yes. the job is his he replied
Told by Cabinet officer.
Il asked him how he knew, and he
told me that his informant was a mem
Der of the presidents cabinet and
knew what he was talking about
This information was not given to
me in a confidential manner, but / will
not give my informant's name, for fl is
plain to see what would happen to him
if his name came out.
There is not any doubt in my mind
that the statement that the president
offered Keefe the position and that
Keefe agreed to accept, is true. Per
haps the offer was not made at the
conference on Oct. 3 last, but I be-
lieve il has been made"

viii Face a Fury.

New York. Oct 14-When the trial
of Charles W. Morse which is scheduled
to begin in the United States court, gets
fairly under way. several OF the most
prominent financiers in the country will
be called on to tell their experience in
connection with the American Ice com
pany and it is likely that the operations
Of the pool in which they lost large sums
viii be laid bare in detail
Among those who have been subpoe-
naed are Charles NJ. Schwab. who held
1890 shares in the pool; John W Gates,
with 10000; John c. Carroll. 10000: Isaac

Arthur P. Heinze, with 1900 among
them Phillip J. Britt lawyer. who was
not in the pool. but who was share
holder in the company in large, has also
been asked to testify.
Investors Wiped Out.
In all the pool was supposed to own
s15,0o0,000 of stock, of which Morse held
$1,000 shares. The collapse came Just
before and during the panic when the
stock dropped from few points within
par 10 81, and many of the biggest in
Vestors were wiped out.
Morse will be placed on trial with AL
fred H. Curtis on indictments charging
violation of the national banking law in
connection with the troubles of Bank of
which Curtis is president. In this phase
of the case, the witnesses will include
w. +. Havemeyer and other directors
all of whom are prominent in Wall street
The alleged violations of the banking
law as charged in the indictments are
three in number-over-certific mis-
application of funds. and the making of
false entries in reports of books of ac
count. On the misapphcation charge il is
alleged that Morse was allowed to over
draw his account more than 100000. Morse
and Curtis have been at liberty on bail.
Jail If Convicted.
Should the trial result in conviction and
the judgment subsequently be affirmed
by the higher courts. there would be no
alternative from a jail sentence. the pen
atty for violation of the national banking

onment.
