The position of Charles w. Morse,
frenzied financier, newly elected pres
fdenk of several corporations and
Iiquidator OF six millions Of dollars OF
debts which were largely the result of
fraudulent banking, is about as anoma-
lous as one may ever expect to see.
He languishes in the Tombs prison
while his case is being appealed and
it appears likely that the United
States supreme court will confirm his
fifteen-year sentence. And should he
have to serve his term how will he be
able to continue in his many offices
and transact bushes when locked up
in the government prison at Atlanta?

FAMOUS POLITICAL PLAY
"a Gentleman From Mississippi at
Opera House Thursday Night

When, next Thursday night, "a
Gentleman from Mississippi is given
in the opera house, playgoers of this
city will be shown what has proved
to be the most successful American
play of the last twenty years, with
the possible exception of The Nan
of the Hour" The two plays are not,
however. to be compared as to kind;
for the latter was a dramatic work OF
special significance as to the times,
while "A Gentleman from Mississ-
ippi'' is comedy pure and simple, tell
ing a wholesome and domestic tale
that is entirely likely and possible,
and using to tell it the especial atmos-
phere of Washington, the national
capital. The comedy is the work of
Harrison Rhodes. the American play
wright and novelist, and Thomas A.
Wise. the distinguished actor whose
productions in past seasons have in
variably won the approval of this
community.
The story Of "A Gentleman from
Mississippi" is of an old-school South
erner who after forty years of useful
that he can do his country some SER
vice by accepting the nomination for
United States senator. With no guile,
ne accepts. ard is elected What he
does not know is that ring of Sena-
tors and lobbyists have made his cleo
ton possible in order that his vote
may aid them in a scheme for their
own enrichment. But he engages as
private secretary spry, bright, clean
handed and clean minded young news
paper man, and this chap, Bud
Haines, soon shows the new senator
the game, the way to play it, and the
way to win honestly. An incidental
love affair of unusual charm is be-
tween the senator's Younger daughter
and the newspaper man turned secre-
tary.

KAISER AGAINST SPAIN
His Scheming Thought to Be Back of
Fighting Moors

Gibraltar, Oct ga holy war-a
war of determination against the
Christlans-has been declared by the
Mohammedan priests of Morocco with
the Riff tribesmen and today thous-
ands of fanatic warriors from the in
terror tribes are pouring into the nat

troops in the Melilla peninsula, ac-
cording to dispatches received here
today Experienced officers from the
troops of Mulai Hafid have taken
charge of the Riff forces and are plan
ming TO lead the wild tribesmen
The effect on the Spanish of an at
tack by the fanatically courageous ma
tives, under competent leaders can pc
judged from the success of the RIMS
in their past disorganized attempts.
The belief is hourly Increasing that
Mulai Hafid in his latest move against
Spain is backed by German influence.
The Kaiser is known to be more than
anxious to nullify the treaty of Algi-
ers and extend German Cominion all
over Morocco.

tions are being thrown up by Mulai

The declaration of a holy war is

MIlai Hahd. His onlissaries have
been at work among the priests ever
since the beginning of the Rim trouble
urging a war Of determination. The
declaration of holy war will concen-
trate the entire available fighting
force of the tribes.

Blame Even Dog He Can the Rabbit Somet

physician summoned from Peters
burg His sufferings were intense.
His body was so badly burned by the
steam that it was almost parboiled.
The friendship between the two un-
fortunate men, who had worked side
by side for so long, was clearly shown
when Mr.. Gould's first words on be-
ing rescued from the car were,
Where is Willie?
The fact that the first two cars of
the train were milk cars perhaps
saved at least two lives. These cars
are heavy and helped to stay the en-
CINE on it's dash down the embank-
ment. The first car was badly smashed
but the coupling between 1t and the
second broke and it was hardly re-
moved from the track. In the third
car was Mail Clerk Collander and Ex-
press Agent Harry Lane. If this car
had been next to the engine as the
train was made up>until recently, it
is probable that both would have been
killed.
The engine lies today in a heap of
scrap iron in the bed of the Little
Hoosac river at the foot of the en-
banl6ment. Harry Lane, the express
agent said today in speaking of the
accident that it would be difficult for
an expert to tell whether the mass
of iron in the river bed was an en-
CINE or a cornsheller.
. The first milk car was considerably
smashed but the milk which was in
sealed cans. was nearly all saved and
was taken to Chatham by special
train, being shipped TO New York
over the Harlan division.

THE RAILROADS ARE BUSY
The Traffic Activity is Larger Now
Than il Was in 1907.

Washington, Oct A continued
improvement in the industrial situa-
ton of the country is indicated by the
reports of leading internal commerce
movements received during the past
month by the bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce and la
Dor. Unusually large movements of
soft coal, coke, and iron ore, cor
respondingly heavy output of pig
iron. and large shipments N lumber
to consuming centers are a few indi-
cations of increasing industrial activi-
ty The traffic activity of the rail
roads, as measured by the number of
cars handled by the principal car-ser-
vice associations and demurrage bur-
eaus in various parts of the country,
for the first time shows larger total
than for the corresponding month in
1907. The grain receipts at the lead
ing interior markets were larger than
during August in the two previous
years The movements of live stock
and provisions also of hard oil, con
tinued lighter than in former years.
Reports from 33 car-service associa-
tions and demurrage bureaus cover
ing practically the entire territory Of
the United States, give the total num-
Der of cars handled as 2,S05,290,
which, for the first time, exceeds the
number of the corresponding monthly
total handled in 1907 The figures
for the eight months reported by
these organizations, 10, 440, 634 cars,
are still a million short of the total
reported for the corresponding 1907
period.
