HIS ONCE IMMENSE
FORTUNE WIPED OUT
Charles W. Morse Declares He
Is Absolutely Bankrupt.

New York, May S.-Charles W.
Morse, the former banker, who is
now in the Tombs prison under SEN
tence for violation of the national
banking laws, has not a share of
stock, bond or a piece of real estate
left of his fortune of an estimated
value of s3O,OOO,0OO, according to evi
dence which he gave in supplementary
proceedings just made public. -.
Morse was at one time one of the
largest holders of securities of the
$50 100000 Consolidated Steamship
company and controlled three nation
al banks. He testified in the supple
mentary proceedings that he had
given all his property to creditors to
secure his debts and declared that he
did not know whether the creditors
had sold HIM out and asserted if there
was any surplus derived from such
sales it would only go to other cred.
itors who have obtained judgments
against him and that he personally
would receive none of the proceeds of
the sales.
Mr.. Morse said that no member of
his family had any property in which
he was interested; that he had no
claims against anybody; that he never
loaned money personally and that he
never kept set of books.

CLAPP TALKS ON TARIFF

Minnesota Senator Says the Repub-
Iican Party Should Carry Out It's
Platform Pledges and Grant Relief
Demanded or Democrats Would Be
Put in a Position to Do the Work
Two Years Hence.
Washington, May S.-The session of
the senate was begun with speech
by Senator Clapp of Minnesota, who
commented upon the policy of protec-
tion and referred to distinctions be-
tween protective tariff and a tariff
for revenue only
Mr.. Clapp declared that instead of
congress taking up the work of a
complete revision of the customs du-
ties it should have taken one SEIZED
ule at a time, in which event there
would not have been the great excite
nlent and the opposition that exists
when all the tariff schedules are taken
up for consideration. The effective
Elkins law he instanced as having
been passed with little popular atten-
ton, while the last railroad rate leg
islation, he declared, had met opposi-
ton because agitation had excited the
public mind and caused a widespread
opposition and predictions of danger
to the interests affected. So the pres
ent tariff opposition, he said, had
been provoked by widespread agita-
ton, whereas had the schedules been
taken up. separately revision could
more easily have been accomplished.
The promise of the Republican
party, Mr.. Clapp declared, was that
the tariff should be revised downward,
and he asserted that this promise had
been made in response to positive
demand. He said that the position on
the part of the protective interests
was that 1--WE should let we'll enough
alone and on the part of the con.
sumers that the tariff should he re-
vised."

NOW HAVE RIGHT TO STRIKE
French Government Employees Form
Union Under the Law.

Paris, May S.-Both public SYM
pathy and the law seems to be clearly
against the Post, Telegraph and Tele-
phone Employees association, which
gave a challenge to the government
by Transforming itself into syndi-
cate, or union, under the laws Of 1884.
This action placed the association on
the same footing as the workmen's
unions and was calculated to give it
the right to strike against it's en-
ployer, the state. The newspapers,
with the exception of the extreme So
cfalist organs, are unsparing in their
denunciation Of the stand taken by
the association as an act Of rebellion
and they urge the government to pro-
coed with energy and crush the in
surrection before the movement en-
CULTS the other state employees.
Evidence accumulates that the for
nation of this union was only the
first step in farreaching plan Of the
General Federation Of Labor to place
the entire machinery of the govern.
ment at it's mercy. r
The congress of railroad men, at a
secret session, decided to submit the
question of general strike to ref
erendum and appointed a permanent
strike committee.

GOVERNMENT CROP
REPORT BULL|SH
Causes Sharp Rally in Prices
on Chicago Board.

Chicago, May 8-The bullish gov
eminent crop report struck the board
Of trade when prices were sagging
and caused sharp rally of 3% cents
in July wheat, of 21a cents in septem-
Der and 23s cents in December from
their respective low points.
Spectators had anticipated a small
decrease in acreage and considerable
Improvement in the condition of the
crop and under early selling, mostly
of a profit taking nature, options
dropped down an extreme of IL cents
In December to 21z cents in July from
the best price of the forenoon.
The government report, showing a
decrease Of 81 per cent in acreage
and slight betterment in the condi-
ton, caused sharp buying rally, un-
der which the market advanced to
the best prices of the day.
Activity was especially noted in the
new crop months, September and De-
cember, the former rising to $1.07 and
the latter to $1.05%. ~

You can't tell me" he said, that
the latter demand did not mean that
the tariff should be revised downward.
To take any other position Is mere
boys play, nothing less than farce,
and If did not believe the duties
were to be lowered in response to this
exaction would pack my grip and go
home, for, as a senator, I am not re-
CURED to participate in such farce
as the mere re-enactment of the Ding.
ley rates. The people understood that
we were to have revision downward;
the men who made the platform un-
derstood It; we understand it; every
body understood it and no amount of
sophistry can otherwise explain the
popular demand and the party prom
ise.
If this PROMISE" he said, twas for
a revision that would mean the main
tenance Of the Dingley rates then we
are confronted by the righteousness
of the chief executive calling congress
together to revise something that
should stand unchanged until the end
of time. When the people made the
demand for tariff revision down
ward there was no suggestion that
these industries were not sufficiently
protected. If the demand for revision
did not mean changing the duties
downward it did. not mean anything
and we are indulging in farce now"
Declaring that if congress should
fail now to lower the tariff rates the
Democratic party would be put in
position to so revise it two years
hence Mr.. Clapp said he did not wish
to use threats, but merely to tell the
truth ~

IN C0URT ROOM
James Boyle Asserts He Did
Not Have Fair Trial.
WITNESS IN WIFE'S CASE

Attempts to Tell What He Announced
Would Be the Whole Truth About
the Affair, but Is Not Permitted to
Proceed-Mrs. Boyle and Her Attor-
neys Decide Not to Offer Any Evi.
dence in Her Defense.
Mercer, Pa, May S.-Declaring that
he had not had a fair trial and that
he wanted to tell the whole truth
about the kidnapping case James
Boyle created a sensation in the
courtroom during the trial of Mrs.
James Boyle, indicted as MARY Roe"
as an accessory to the kidnapping of
Willie Whitla, and was with difficulty
prevented from telling his version of
Che affair. Boyle was put on the wit
ness stand for the state and asked to
produce the first letter to Mr.. Whitla
demanding $4,000 ransom. Without
any reference. to the letter Boyle al
most shouted out:
II want to tell the truth about this
case now. I want the whole thing
cleared up. I was not to blame The
whole blame was on some one else. -
Attorneys for both state and de.
Tense, court officials and Judge Miller
himself took part in the effort to stop
Boyle's tongue. He finally denied hav.
ing the letter, saying he had once
had it and the subsequent letters, but
that he does not know now where
they are.
"Billy'' Whitla, the kidnapped boy
was the first witness at the trial of
Mrs. Boyle. He repeated substan
TALLY his testimony given in the case
against James H. Boyle. In referring
to Boyle the boy called him "Jonesey,'
having been told at the time of the
abduction the mans name was Jones'
Mrs. Boyle Was "Mrs. JONES'"
The boy witness identified Mrs
Boyle as the woman who had cared
for him in Cleveland and whom he
had known as Mrs. Jones. He iden
titled a nurses outfit as the clothing
Mrs. Jones had worn and said she
had red spots on her face, which, she
said, were the result of having re
Gently had smallpox. He said the
woman told him to tell his parents
she was forty-four years of age an6
very large.
Miss E. Mills, proprietor of the
Granger apartments in Cleveland
where BILLY" says he was kept, iden
titled Boyle and Mrs. Boyle as the
couple who had rented an apartment
from her March 10 as Mr. and Mrs
R. G. Walters. Miss Mills was posi-
tive in her Identification of the wo
man.
After a conference between Mrs
Boyle and her counsel, lasting abou-
half an hour, it was decided that NJ
testimony would be offered in he1
defense. .-...
