New York. May 2.-"working New York's Honest Graft" is the latest joy- ous educational pastime discovered by the fertile mind of the college under- graduate. The plan which consists in enjoying everything free In the mes tropolis and utilizing the queer quirks of living possible to the man short of cash, is said to be direct outcome of some of the sociological expeditions taken to New York by college profess sors. Some of the students on these serious trips, while studying penal and charitable institutions and learning how the "other half lives" saw how they themselves could live and see other phases of city life for very little cash. As a result. at the midyear hol- idays. many college men are drifting into New York with five or six dollars in their pockets with which to spend ,a week of delicious proving among all sorts and conditions of people. And by using all the free possibilities htf the town, they get for less than stdlar day, broader view of cosmo-
 aitanism than most people can en- fl X1for an expenditure of five or six \ doses that amount. Here is an account ' 2 what one undergraduate did in six

RESTS ITS CASE
AGAINST MORSE
Government Has Apparently
Proven That Ice King
Was Crooked.

New York, Oct. 26.-After the admis-
sion of testimony by John W. Gates,
former Judge Morgan ]. O'Brien,
Charles NJ. Schwab, John H. Flagler
and William F. Havemeyer, to the eff
feet that, as directors of the National
Bank of North America, they had never
authorized the hOnoring of overdrafts
by Charles w. Morse, the vice presi-
dent of the bank, and had never known
of the existence of such practice. the
prosecution late today rested its case
in the United States court here against
the former banker and promoter and
his fellow defendant, A. H. Curtis who
are being tried for alleged violation of
the national banking laws.
The days session furnished a num-
Der of sensations. not the least of which
was the declaration by w. w. Lee. a
former vice president of the bank, that
on the day of the institutions col
lapse, Curtis. the president. had said to
him:
Il have just told Morse that he has
busted the bank"
Mr.. Lee was questioned at length
concerning the happenings behind
closed doors of the bank during the
evening hours of October 16, 1907. the
day of the collapse. After the accounts
of the days transactions had been
closed, it was discovered, Mr.. Lee testi-
fed, that Mr.. Morse had Overdrawn his
account S211 900. In order to make good
this deficiency, Morse had turned into
the bank a quantity of securities, for
the most part stocks and bonds not
listed on the stock exchange and of
doubtful value, as collateral for a loan
of s211.OOO. This loan the directors re-
pudiated on the following day

CUTLER WOULD
LIKE TO KNOW
Governor Writes Letter to We
Der County Sheriff Re-
garding Case of Geiqer.

Inc receipt of a letter bye Sheriff Bar
low Wilson from, Governor Cutler. asking
what had become of the Philip Geiger
case. has caused no little comment par
hcuiarly in legal circles in Ogden The
case of Geieer is a familiar one He vMs
first arrested on the charge of neglect
ing to care for his wife and babies. and
was the first victim of the new law
against this offense. He was in Cali
lornla at the time, having deserted his
famlly, and he was extradited at the in
stance of County Attorney Nathan ].
Harris. When the case was brought to
the attention of the district attorney, he
discovered that he had no evidence to
prosecute as the wife could not testify
against the husband. and a letter writ
ten by her was a confidential comnlIni-
cation and could not be used against her
VIII. The case was dismissed by the dis
trict attorney and Geiger again left for
riverside, Cal, from which place he was
eXtrddited. In the meantime Mrs Gel
ger brought suit for divorce against her
husband. and II was finally granted. with
alimony, and Mr.. Harris again had Geiger
brought back from the land of sunshine
and flowers. because he failed to pay the
alimony granted by the court to the wife
He was arraigned and released on $500
bonds to await trial. The second time the
services of the police department were
enlisted, and Officer .Pincock went after
the man. arriving in Ogden or the Ind
day of October but so far nothing has
been heard of the case.
Now enters the governor and would like
to know how the matter stands. In his
letter to Sheriff Wilson, he says that as
the Geiger case is the first of its kind
under the new law. and as Geiger is the
first man to be eXtradited under that law
he would like to know its exact status
There was a rumor to the effect that the
governor had asked IL the county Off
Gals were using the criminal courts of
the state for the collection of alimony, but
Sheriff Wilson denies that there was any
such statement contained therein. AS to
Geiger, he is still in Ogden. or supposed
to be. according to the statement of Sher-
iff Wilson. awaiting trial
