Fund.

Washington, May 22.-The building
plan of the United States navy for the
fiscal year 1910 will call for two bat

made in the naval estimates by or
der of President Taft.
Secretary Meyer IN announcing this
program today, said that the battle
ship appropriations will not be af-

reduction will come from the appro-
priations for different bureaus, aud
from the navy yards. but he has
made these reductions in such a way
as not to impair the deficiency of the
fleet or the yards.

Wife OF Former Banker Asserts
That Courts We're Used as
Tools In Driving Hsr

New York, May 22.--Mrs. Ciemen-
tine Morse. wife of Chas w. Morse.
former banker, asserted in an inter-
view today that long ago persons
nigh in power vowed they would
ruin her husband, and that they had
Kept their vow against Justice and
truth. Mrs. Morse declared govern

they would cause Morse's downfall,
but Mrs. Morse said she did not then
believe the courts could be used as a
party to the plans of her husbands
enemies.
1T is incredible to me that the
court can be used to destroy mans
property and his family made to suf-
fer" she said.
Mrs. Morse asserts that her hus-
band paid every dollar owed every
depositor in the Bank of North
America. and that she gladly sold her
jewelry to pay the claims against her
husband, one OF which at least, was
pure blackmail. but which she paid
to avoid notoriety
