MORSE HAS SLIM HOPE NOW
Sentence of Fifteen Years Against
Convicted Banker Stands

Washington, Dec. S.-The supreme
court of the United States having de
MED the petition of Charles w. Morse
the New York banker, for a writ of
certiorari, the result of the decision
is TO leave i'm effect against Morse a
sentence of fifteen years imprison-
ment in the federal prison at Allan
ia, Ga. On motion for a new trial
filed with the United States circuit
court the court of conviction hangs
the only hope left.
Under the 40-day stay of sentence
previously granted, ten days remain
in which counsel may seek a final
adjudication of the case. Should the
United States circuit court decide
against him in the motion for a new
trial, service of the sentence will be
gin on or before December 16 In
the meantime Morse remains in the
Tombs in New York.
Charles w. Morse was sentenced
November 6, 1908 to a term of fifteen
years in the federal prison at Atlanta
for misapnlication OF the funds of the
National Bank of North America. He
was released from the Tombs last
'"hO vi Pi-"'"pN p"ii i"iStu NHicHy
by the efforts of his wife among men
high in financial circles who still be-
lieved in the ability of their former
associate to recuperate his fortunes.
While out on bail, Morse was exceed
ingly active and was said to have ac-
complshed much in the way of re-
gaining control of his former exten,
sive interests. When the United
States circuit court of appeals decid-
ed against him about two months ago
he promptly surrendered himself to
the authorities and resumed his life
in the city prison.

MURDER IN POKER ROOM
Keeper of Saratoga Resort Killed by
Blow on Head

Saratoga, Dec. 10.-While prepar-
ing 10 open his poker room on Put
nam street Wednesday evening Irv-
ing Smith, aged twenty-one years,
was struck on the head by some
blunt instrument, probably a hammer
or the back end of Ratchet, and died
almost Immediately as the result of
the blow George Hoogbone, aged
twenty-six years, from whom Smith
is said to have won $40 in a poker
game Tuesday evening, was arrested
a few minutes after Smiths body was
found, and he is still held.
Hoogbone positively asserted that
he was not near the poker room dur
ing the evening, but he could give
the police no satisfactory account of
his actions during the time he was
away from the pool room after the
murdered youth left
Hoogbone attempted to commit sui
eide in Schenectady a short time ago
by taking poison. At that time he
had just secured a position in that
city, and no reason was ever assign
ed for his act The young man came
here from Massachusetts two years
ago, and so far as known had no rela-
tiyes. He had worked at various oc-
equations there, and had always been
considered honest although not parti-
cularly capable. Among the young
men with whom he was intimate he
was many time referred to as being a
bit light-headed.

ADDISON COUNTY MILK war
Charges That Railroads Are Working
Against Buyers and Market

Middlebury, Dec. 10.-Fifty far
mers of Addison county interested in
dairying met in this place Wednes-
day evening and were addressed by
w. A. Grossentein of Boston presi-
dent Of the Boston Dairy company
Grossentein talked for two hours and
said his intention was to settle the
milk war that has existed in this
county for the past month.
The trouble grew not of the build
ing of a sterilizing plant mere, which
the speaker claimed, belonged TO the
New York Central & Hudson River
railroad, but owing to criminal laws
the plant is said TO be owned by the
Producers Dispatch company of New
York city
Mr.. Grossentein alleged that the
new company was here to advance
prices of milk, for he said, in a short
time when all competition had beeh
killed, they would cut the prices,
which it had recently raised as it had
done in other places.
To prove his assertions, Mr.. Gros-
sentein said that the milk stations
on the Rutland railroad belonged 10
the railroad and the New York and
Ogdensburg milk train had the right
of way over all other trains on the
road. The company shipped the milk
into New York City which is double
the distance to Boston, for ten cents
hundred pounds less, thus showing
discrimination in rates. He reques-
ted that the farmers investigate this
business and said it was his inten
ton TO pursue his investigation as
long as he had government behno
him He urged the farmers that, if
they were not satisfied with Boston
prices, to take their product to the
local milk factories

PURE GAMBLING
So Says Rutland Pastor of Charity
Rattle


Rattle
Rutland, Dec. 1O.-The selling Of
tickets on certain articles to be
drawn by lot, including s. gold
piece on which $50 was realized, at
the annual sale of the Ladies' Hospit-
al Aid society here Tuesday today
brought forth a sharp criticism from
the Re w II. Spence, pastor OF the
Congregational church. In an inter
view he styles the proceeding as pure
gambling and a travesty in the name
of charity. The members of the so
ciety realized $3.50 for the hospital
from the affair and as they are among
the city's most prominent women and
leaders in the various churches there
is a lot of feeling over the criticism.
The view taken by the clergyman
is that the feature Of the sale sayors
of lottery, is injurious to the best in
terests of the community and there
fore to be condemned He warned
the president, Mrs. a. II. Colyin by
letter before the sale that if the lot
terry features We're carried out he
should have something to say i'm pub
lie against it. MI Spence contends
that The drawing OF articles by lot
makes an otherwise laudable enter.
prise work against the best moral
interests of the community He
points out the fact that most of the
ladies' concerned would hold up their
hands in horror if gambling were OPP
emily permitted in the community by
the authorities.
Mr.. Spence said: 1t is entirely I'M
necessary for the sake of a few dol
lars. even in so good cause to do
what strikes at the heart of public
morals Tire ladies who instituted
these lotteries must know that they
are working against the consciences
Of many women most closely afIilia-
TED with the cause; they are women
whose work in the church makes
them opposed to gambling. This af-
fair weakens good morals in the
house of its friends. Petty gambling
is going on in Rutland to a larger ex-
tent than any one realizes. 1t is too
bad to encourage II by gambling in
the name of philanthropy"
Mr. Spence states that he will ad-
wise the women of his congregation
to refuse to assist at the county fair
next fall unless all games of chanel
are eliminated

The Wool Industry.

Fairfield Ledger: Davis county has
about 1880 sheep, with an annual
wool clip Of perhaps 100000 pounds,
worth $4,000 at the 1909 price of TWEEN
ty-fiye cents pound, according to the
Bloomfield Republican. The Herald
tells of an Oskaloosa buyer who has
purchased 10000 pounds OF wool in
Mahaska county this year, the Repub-
lican OF a Van Buren, county buyer
who has handled 10000 pounds at Keo-
sauqua. while one Fairfield man has
bought over 100000 pounds OF II
wool this season. Sheep growing is

Iowa, even If Iowa senators didn't
favor wool and wooden schedules

crease In his years receipts, and it
will not be evened up by cheaper
