Counsel of Morse Sends Cable
gram at Request of United
States District Attorney.
AIR FILLED WITH RUMORS
TOTAL SMASH OF THE FINAN-
GER PROBABLE.

New York. Feb. Sat the request Of
United States District Attorney Slim
son, Albert S. Boardman. counsel for
Charles w. Morse. late today cabled
his client at Liverpool. asking that
Morse return to this city. Mr.. Board
man believes that the banker Will take
passage on the first steamer sailing
west after the arrival at Queenstown
or Liverpool of the Cunard line steam
ship Campania, upon which. his attor-
news saw. Morse sailed from here last
Saturday.
Due at Queenstown Today.
The Campania is due at Queenstown
Friday, and at Liverpool early Satur-
day. Allowing for heavy weather,
which is delaying all Atlantic traffic,
the Campania can hardly fail to reach
one of the two ports in time 10 allow
Morse to sail on the Cunarder Etruria,
which will be the earliest steamer he
can get. The Etruria is scheduled to
leave Liverpool at 4:30 Saturday after
noon and sail from Queenstown be
tween and II o'clock Sunday fore
noon. She is due here late the follow
ing Saturday. 1t is hardly possible that
she will arrive in time to dock before
+ Sunday, though she is a good weather
lboat and is usually less delayed by
tstorms than the newer vessels of the
fleet
The attorneys cable. it is expected,
will be resent by wireless to the Cam
pania when the vessel is reported of
Browhead, Ireland, seventy miles west
OF Queenstown.
The steamer had not reported to-
night, but her agents expected 10
hear from her before morning. The
White Star liner Baltic will sail from
Queenstown tomorrow, but it is hard
ly possible that Morse could connect
with her.

bling his client followed an hours con-
ference with Mr.. Stimson, who was in
charge of the investigation before the
federal grand jury of the recent con-
duct of certain national banks.

TO appear before the grand jury today
supposedly, ne said, to tell what he
knew of Morses connection with GER
tain banking Institutions. The jury
however. did not reach Mr. Boardmal :
testimony, and sent word for him 10
return tomorrow. In the meantime Mr..
Boardman had been clOseted with the
federal district attorney. AS he left

was asked whether he had said that
lie could produce Morse should that
Sentleman be wanted.

of United States Attorney Stimson, !
have cabled Mr.. Morse at Liverpool TO
come back, and I have reason TO be-
lieve that he will return at once. He
is now on the Campania."
Asked why Mr.. StimsOn has request
ed him TO ask Mr.. Morse to return. Mr.
Boardman said:
81 do not know, but I suppose it is
because a good many people here want
him.
Federal Attorney Mum.
Mr.. Stimson would say nothing as to
why he desired the presence here of
the man. who. after he had organized
the American Ice company and the
Consolidated Steamship company and
was reported to be worth $40 600, 600
became disastrously involved in the
misfortunes of the banks which he had
been able to control

proceedings which may affect different

the appearance of Lawyers BOardman
and OBrien before the federal grand

neither will I admit or deny any of the
rumOrs current"

The rumors referred TO by Mr.. Slim
son were to the effect that the present
federal grand jury was likely 20 return
indictments in the banking cases soon.
