WITHDRAWS HIS PLEA.
Banker Charles w. Morse Files a
Demurrer Instead.

New York. Feb. 25-Charles w.
Morse today in the supreme court with
drew his plea of not guilty to the in
dictment charging perjury, which was
recently returned against him and in
it's place filed demurrer to the ind1ct-
ments. Arguments on the demurrer
will be heard on March 3. In the argu-
ment over the withdrawal of the plea,
portions of an affidavit which had been
filed by counsel for Morse were read
to the court. The affidavit declared
that Morse had gone abroad to look
after some financial interests there and
that when he reached the other side he
found messages asking him to return
on the ground that he had been indict-
ed and that he was felt in some quar-
tiers to be fugitive from justice. He
had Immediately returned, called upon
or communicated with each and every
one of the four witnesses who had given
testimony before the grand jury upon
which the Indictment was based and
each one of the four, the affidavit said,
had supported Morse's contention that
the checks and money. referred to In
the Indictment belonged to Mr.. Morse
and that he had not committed larceny
or misrepresentation or been guilty or
false pretenses. The affidavit declared
also that each of the four had stated
that they had not given any testimony
before the grand jury that was suffi-
cient basis for an indictment.
The men who so went before the
grand jury, it was declared, were F.
AUGUSTUS Heinze, ex-Justice Morgan J.
O'Brien, Miles O'Brien, vice president
of the Mercantile National bank, and
Edward B. Ware cashier of the de-
funct National Bank of North America.
Justice Bowling announced later that
a time would be fixed for an argument
on the motion to inspect the minutes.

To Replenish Funds.
The tax measure was placed before
the voters as means of replenishing
the depleted funds of the county. This
same measure was presented at the
election two years ago by the board of
supervisors, and was overwhelmingly
defeated then This year, when the
finance committee of the board of SUI
pervisors reported that the county
funds were exhausted, the board
promptly prepared to submit the meas
ure again, and to conduct campaign
for the proposition. The sentiment
against the tax. however. is so strong.
that as the political campaign adyanc-

Who Ever Heard of NOrmaI:
Moline is taking exception to a
statement in the sporting page of the
Bloomington Bulletin which says that
Normal high school has the best claim
to the championship of the state due
to the fact that it defeated the
Streator team which played Moline by
larger score than the Moline boys
were able to make. Moline claims
that comparative scores do not count
and. that if Normal is going to advance
any claims to state honors it should
get into the limelight and play some
teams with reputation.
