The Women's Auxiliary have many marks to their credit in the work of tl1o Y. M. c. A. In the beginning they raised some over $7.O00 toward the present club house and each year since they have done SoI,le real valuable ser vice. Three years ago they placed the handsome Mission furniture in the liv- ing room. the following year redecor- ated Warner hall. last year furnished Warner hall with rugs and runners and this year have just met a great and crying need in the redecoration and erecting steel ceilings in the Ladies' parlor and the banquet hall. For some years they have sadly needed this and the results reflect credit on the women for the taste and good judgment ex- hibited.

that if men and women would do good

Until Court Of Appeals Sits
October IL.

NEW YORK, September 3o-charles
w. Morse. convicted nearly year ago
of various offenses in connection with
the management OF the National Bank
OF North America and sentenced to fif-
teen years in the federal prison at At
lanta. is in a peculiar predicament He
appealed from his conviction and after
spending nearly seven months In the
Tombs obtained his release last spring
on $125, 900 bail, furnished by twenty-five
friends who signed the bond a result
of diligent work by Mrs Morse to get
freedom for her husband
The $125.O0O bail bond expires October
8 next, that date having been fixed by
the federal authorities on the suppose
ton that the United States circuit court
of appeals would be sitting by that time
and ready to hear argument on Morse'S
appeal for a new trial. ..
Yesterday Mr.. Morse learned that the
United States circuit court of appeals
would not begin to sit for the fall term
until October IL and he hurried to the
post office building to have his bail bond
extended to that date. He had confer
ences with both United States District
Attorney Wise and Judge E. Henry La
combe of the circuit court of appeals.
Judge Lacombe told Morse he was very
sorry. but he could not individually ex-
tend the bond to October IL. that that
coulo only Ue ooue oy the UNANIMOUS
agreement of all OF the Judges composing
the court of appeals, and that all Of
them would not be in town until Octo-
Der II.
Morse pointed out to Judge Lacombe
that the bond as it now stands requires
him to surrender himself to United
States Marshall Henkel before midnight
Of October 8. and that unless the bond
Is extended it will be the marshal's duty
to confine him in the Tonbs. Judge La
combe again said he was sorry, but he
could no nothing to relieve the situa-
ton.
Morse left the federal building much
distressed. He is confident Of proving
his innocence IL a new trial is given and
looks with dread upon going back to his
cell in the Tombs.
Since his release last spring Mr. Morse
has made substantial progress in
Strengthening out his tangled business
affairs.
