MORE TROUBLE
FOR BANKER MORSE
HEAD OF EXPLODED SHIPPING
TRUST INDICTED FOR
PERJURY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE legal
entanglements of Charles w. Morse,
former banker and promoter, are null
tiplying. A third indictment, alleging
perjury by Mr.. Morse during an ex-
animation before the grand jury, was
found by the special grand jury to-
day. The indictment is based upon
loan of $4,000 obtained last Sep
TENDER by e. r. Thomas, from the
Bank of North America, OF which
Morse was then Vice President.
Mr.. Morse, it is alleged, at first de-
MED that the money had been loaned
to Thomas, either on his recommends
ton or without it, but later explained
that he wished to correct his testi-
mony. This he is said to have done.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
law is such that corrected testimony
before grand jury may be made a
basis for a charge of perjury.
Another turn in the case today was
he serving on Philip ]. Britt, counsel
,or Mr.. Morse, of summonses In two
actions brought against the former
banker. The compliments in these
suits have not yet been filed, but it
vas explained that they relate to
tock transactions which occurred I
ome time ago.

.KINzER QUITS
ASSESSORS RACE
DOES NOT THINK SALARY WOULD
JUSTIFY HIS MAKING THE
CONTEST.
Small Pay And Heavy Work of New
Office Makes Aspirants
BaIk.

Because of the small compensation
received by that officer, J. w. Kinzer
announces his withdrawal from the
race for Tax Assessor of Maury coun-
ty. Mr.. Kinzer was one OF three who
had announced for this Office, and his
withdrawal will leave only two candi-
dates in the field; and since 1t is less
than six weeks until the primary it
is not believed that there will be any
more candidates. 1t had been ex-
pected that there would be a field full
of candidates, more than dozen be-
ing mentioned as probable entries.
However, when it was ascertained
that the compensation would average
less than $1,000 per annum they be-
gan to balk.
In withdrawing from the contest,
Mr.. Kinzer said: "After giving the
matter due consideration ! have
reached the conclusion that it would
be more profitable for me to remain
at home and attend to my personal
business than it would be to hold an
Office where the compensation is not
commensurate with the time and labor
required In order to serve as as
SCISSOR / would necessarily have to
neglect part, If not all, of my per-
sonal business and it would hardly
pay me to do this with a political Of
fee where the compensation is as
smal1 as that allowed the assessor.
Since I entered the contest have
received much encouragement and
many pledges of support and my
friends have given me cordial assur-
ance of their active cooperation to
promote my candidacy. To all these
l am under a debt Of gratitude and I
desire to express my sincere apprecia-
ton for the cordial manner in which
my candidacy has been received"

Necessary in Probate and Son
Loses Point In Dis
pute

late Major Frederick H. Seymour might
be obtained from England, further hear
ing on the probate of the will was yes

a large estate situated in California and
Mexico, is being contested by Gordon
Seymour, a son. and yesterday was the
date set for the probate of the instru-
ment.
Gordon seymour's attorney, j. II.
Shankland, filed an opposition to the
probate. Mrs. Seymour, who is engaged
in the contest against her son, commended
through her counsel, Charles Sutton, that
this is not the time to present objections.
but that the law required a formal contest
which would set forth the questions of
fact.
Wishing to offer proof of the genuine
ness of the English will, Mr.. Sutton asked
the court that time be given in which to
secure a deposition from the English law
yer who executed and witnessed the will.
Mr.. Shankland declared the time had
arrived for offering objections and main
tanned there could be nothing gained by
taking the English dispositions, saying
the will as presented was invalid in Cali
fornia. Six months, he said. had passed
since the death of Major Seymour and
yet nothing definite had been decided.
Judge Rives upheld Mr. Sutton's con-
tention that a formal contest was neces-
sary and overruled the objections to the
probate, and in order to secure the proof
from England the hearing was continued
two months.

once At the rate at which they are
being transported it will take about ten
days to take back those that are already
registered
Meanwhile they are getting hungry.
Most of them have been out of work for
several weeks, and as at the best they
lead but hand-to-mouth existence, the
resources of practically all of them are
exhausted.
Beginning Sunday at 1 o'clock Rev. Mr..
Bartlett wants to furnish these destitute
Mexicans with one hot meal day. In
order to do this he must have the sup
plies Beans. coffee, bread and similar
supplies are urgently needed. They will
be cooked at the Bethlehem institute and
the Mexicans will be fed at bath house
hall on Vignes street. At night the big
hall will be thrown open so that the
Mexicans may sleep on the floor. Most
of them are now sleeping out in the open
in the river bottom.
