 New York. May 1S.-That the prima. ry object of the organization at Bath, Me, of the Morse Securities company, capitalized at $10.0O0,000, is to enable the taking over by the Morse interests of the assets of the National Bank of North America In this city is the dec laration made here by friends of Charles w. Morse Until its suspen- sion on Jan. P last Mir. Morse was vice president and director of this bank, now in the hands of Charles A. Hanna as receiver.
 Through the medium of this new Maine corporation, it is said, MT. Morse now plans to deposit in the To- cal subtreasury enough cash to pay off the depositors in full. The bank orig inally owed its depositors about $2.- 100000, but as Receiver Hanna has al ready paid out S650000 in the initial % per cent dividend and intends to pay out SG50,000 more next month, Mir. Morse will have to raise only $l,300,- GOO to pay off the rest of the claims of the depositors. Then the receiver will have performed his duty and will turn over the rest of the assets to the stock. holders

and Mrs. William Browning says

ing Swanson, had been shot and in

way to this city for burial, in charge
of Mrs. Dick Patterson. Mrs. Patter-
son is parted from her husband, and

KILLED YAUTO
YOUTH PREVENTS COMPANION
FROM JUMPING OUT.
TWELVE PEOPLE ARE KNOCKED DOWN
Car Turns Over and Burns at Knights
Of Pythias Boston En-
campment.

Boston.-Five persons were injured
at the Pythian encampment Tues
day night. They were reported
out of danger Wednesday morning. 1t
is not likely that the coroner will in
vestigate the death of Miss Mary
Korb, the only victim.
The motor was a touring car in
charge of William G. Seavey, Jr., who
was taking two young men, two high
school girls and the mother of one Of
the girls, to visit the Pythian camp.
The machinery broke down and Sea
vey was repairing it when a runaway
horse bore down upon the party. One
of the girls started to jump out. Sea
vey pushed her back.
Accidentally Strikes a Lever.
In doing so he struck a lever and
the motor leaped ahead at full speed,
throwing Seavey aside. After a run
of several yards the machine bore
down upon a trolley car and knocked
down Miss Korb and her mother, Mrs.
Joseph Korb, as they were about to
board. Rebounding from the car, the
motor ran SO yards from the crowd,
bowling over a dozen persons before
it turned over and caught fire.
Mrs. Korb and Robert c. Montgom-
cry, one of the occupants who stuck
to the car until it upset, were the only
ones badly hurt.

TAFT SEES REMEDY
ADDRESSES VIRGINIA BAR ASSO-
CATION ON NEEDED REFORMS.
POOR LITIGANTs ARE SUFFERERS
Reduction of Cost Bills Urged to Re-
o an Unnecessary
Burden.

Hot Springs, Va.-Before the con
vention of the Virginia Bar Asso-
citation, Republican Candidate Taft
Thursday delivered an address on
The Delays of Litigation"
Judge Taft said, in part:
The chief reason why the state de-
votes so much time and effort in the
administration of justice between in
dividuals in private litigation and be-
tween the state and persons charged
with crime in public litigation, is to
promote the cause of peace and tran
quillity in the community.
Speaking theoretically and alb
stractedly, of course, our aim is for
equal and exact justice between indi-
viduals and between the state, repre-
senting all persons in a community,
and an offending individual, just for
the love of Justice; but, practically,
the objects sought are peace,% tranquil
lily and contentment among the peO-
pie.
"Venality in judges is very rare;
oiiu hiiS ZIG otohdoiu VI JuuiSldi dOii-
ity and learning may not be always as
high as we should like to see it, the
provisions for review and for free and
impartial hearing are such as general
ly to give just final judgments.
Hardships on the Poor.
THE inequality that exists in our
present administration of justice, and
that sooner or later is certain to rise
and trouble us and to call for popular
condemnation and reform, is in the
unequal burden which the delays and
the expense of litigation under our
present system impose upon the poor.
Il know the delays have induced
merchants and commercial men to
avoid courts altogether and to settle
their controversies by arbitration, and
to this extent the courts have been re-
lieved, but such boards of arbitration
are only possible between those liti-
giants that are members of the same
commercial body and are in a sense
associates.

EVIDENCE FAVORS BILLIK.
Arsenic Found in Body of Henry Me.
mann, Dead Three Years.

Chicago, Ill.-Arsenic, the poison
that was used to murder the VZral
family, has been found in The body of
Henry Niemann, who was supposed to
have died of heart trouble three years
ago on his farm near Downer's Grove.
An inquest will be held Tuesday
night. Emma Niemann, daughter-in.
law of Henry Niemann, will be pres
ent.
Rev. Peter J. O'Callaghan, head of
the Paulist Fathers in Chicago, in
duced the DuPage county authorities
to dig up Niemann's body and paid
the chemist for making the analysis.
Billik is under sentence of death for
the murder of the Vzral family and
would have been hanged but for the
activity of Father O'Callaghan.
1t is the contention of the priest
that if Niemann can be shown to have
died in exactly the same manner as
the Vzrals, the inference will be that
some one equally intimate with both
families committed all the murders.
