teller. At dinners and at gatherings
where he and Joseph IL. Choate found
themselves together was sure to be
some excitement for the others pres

he never denied publicly. related to
the visit Of certain Mrs. Rusgles to

Mrs. Ruggles remarked in measured

minister of justice. next TO whom he
was sitting. had taken his watch. The
prime minister said: "Ah. he shouldn't

NEW DIRK. Dec 2O.-CharIes w.
Morse, once one of New York's great
est and most successful financiers,
stands today in the shadow of prison
Upon an argument that Martin w.
Littleton is to make to Judge Hough
in the United States circuit court to-
cay for new trial for Morse, the
convicted banker, sentenced to 10
years in prison for the misapplication
of funds of a bank of which he was
the head during the days, preceding
the panic, will depend whether he shall
soon serve his term or be granted an
other opportunity to struggle for
his freedom.
In his argument Mr.. Littleton VIII
declare that the jury or that some OF
the Jurors that convicted Mr.. Morse
were incompetent in the eyes of the
law to sit in such a body, that they
were addicted to intoxicating liquors
to such an extent as to interfere with
their powers OF reason and render II
impossible for them to accord MT.
Morse an unbiased and fair trial.
He intends to show that at Yhe time
of the trial a victim was wanted as
sacrifice for the panic and that in the
rage and turmoil Mr. Morse was Sc
lected
Mr.. Morse recently broke the long
silence he has maintained since MS
troubles and issued a statement that
his friends interpret to mean that ne
has practically abandoned hope or
breaking the legal letters that doom
him to a prison cell. In part he said:

hammer out for jeff In fact for any
man whom Billy Delaney the veteran
trainer and manager of two worlds
champions, ever saw fit to introduce to
the sport loving public, and if anyone,
can ever point out where w. W. Naugh-
ton ever tipped off a positive winner
before a contest took place, I would be
pleased to know the occasion. Hence
his picking the negro at this early
date to beat Jeffries looks to me like
his assertion in the Examiner after
viewing the battle between Joe Cans
and Britt, when the latter fouled Mr.
Cans, that were it not for the foul
Cans did not have one chance in a mil.
lion to whip Jimmy.
Then, we have great many others
who say it is hardly possible for JEFF
fries to regain good condition on ac-
count of his long absence from the
prize ring, and with much postiveness
recount the attempt of many who made
the trial to regain old time form. One
of these writer's I most particularly
take note of, because he was the -rea.
24-karat worlds champion, my old
friend Jack McAuliffe. In referring to
an exhibition he once gave here in
Seattle with Jack Green as an oppon-
ent, McAuliffe tells us he simply had
to stall Green to keep the latter from
putting him out. Then, again, Jack
tells us as further proof of his con-
tention that it is impossible for JEFF
fries to get back into condition and
recites John L. Sullivan's feeble at
tempt to whip Corbett in New Orleans
! There is not a man in America who
| knows Jack McAuliffe who is not aware
| of the fact that the champion light

| man, Jack McAuliffe in condition could
i defeat him in Jig time
Jack and poor John L., both lived

: while yourself and the other John
