APPEAL FOR THE PARDON
OF CHARLES w. MORSE
Papers Filed at Department of JUS
tice in Behalf of Convicted
Banker.

Charles W. Morse's petition for pardon
has been formally presented to the De-
partment of Justice. One section of the
plea of the convicted New York banker
came In large express package, and was
signed with the names of thousands of
persons of prominence.
Mrs. Morse has made another petition
for her husband, and this has been pre-
sented to President Taft by Senator Hale.
The President sent 1t at once to Attorney
General Wickersham. who turned 1t over
to the attorney in charge Of pardons.
Matter to Be Investigated.
The routine investigation which follows
the application of a federal prisoner for
executive clemency will now begin.
Morse's case probably will be taken up in
its turn and reports will be asked from
the district attorney who prosecuted him
and from the court where he was con-
victed. All evidence in the case will be
reviewed by Attorney General Wicker
sham, who will then make his recon-
mendations TO President Taft.
1t may he weeks or months before
Morse's pardon is granted or denied.

Clerks WORKING HOURS
TO Be DETERMINED SOON
President and Cabinet Likely
to Reach Decision at To-
morrow's Meeting.

The fate Of the government clerks, so
far as their working an extra half hour
every day is concerned, probably will be
decided at the White House tomorrow.
President Taft and his cabinet will then
take up the matter for discussion.
Impressions received by the members
of commerce committee, which called on
the President yesterday to protest against
keeping the departments open until 8
O'Clock in the afternoon, were that the
extra half hour would be ordered, al
though 1t would probably be added In
the morning rather than the afternoon.
At least one member of the cabinet, al
though he will not allow himself to be
quoted. is standing strongly in favor of
the extra working half hour for the en-
ployes of the government.
The fact that upward of 200 employees
In the government departments are to
be let go and their places not filled was
made known yesterday, when the legis-
.ative. executive and judicial appropria-
,lon bill was reported to the House.
This determination to cut down the
force has still further added to the belief
that the clerks will be asked to work an
extra half hour
The plan to open the departments at
$50 o'clock in the morning, instead of .
o'clock, is preferred by some clerks to
keeping the departments open until )
o'clock. However, it is pointed out today
by some of the employees that great
many of them nave to stay long after
hours at present, and that if half hour
10 added in tho morning thav will lo
worse off than if the half hour was added
in the afternoon, since they already give
the half hour extra in the afternoon.

'BILLIES' USED IN FRAY

CHICAGO, December 15.--In a clash be-
tween striking garment workers and po-
lice today one workman was shot dead,
another fatally wounded and several COM
batants on both sides seriously injured.
Non-union tailors employed by a cloth
ing company were being escorted to a
shop. They were assailed by the strikers.
Dangerous Striker Killed.
The striker who was killed was p No
gareckis. He was of immense stature and
weighed over 200 pounds.
This big fellow knocked Policeman
Charles Weineke down with single blow
of his billy. He was about to do likewise
with others of the police guard, when he
was shot and killed.
A striker, Mark Llngew1sz shot through
the lungs by one of the police guards Of
the non-union workers, is reported dying
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
Policeman Weineke may die. Police.

Unprovoked Assault.
The affray was reported to Inspector
Healy by the injured policemen as an un-
provoked assault The guards said they
were standing on the corner, when ten
or eleven strikers approached and asked
them what they We're doing. The police
revealed their identity.
Whereupon, they assert, the strikers
began the attack. aided by others who
rushed to the scene Immediately. Police
reserves stationed at the garment fac
tory rescued their comrades.
Many strikers were armed with ''billies''
made Of chunk of lead at the end of
a short leather thong. With these they
assailed the policemen so savagely, ac-
cordlnS to the story told Inspector Healy.
that the police were unable to draw
weapons until they had been knocked
down.
Three of the lead and thong "billies"
were found on the ground after the af-
fray.
The police have been instructed that
when strikers use weapons in rioting the
policemen are to use firm measures in
the disorder. Heretofore the
instructions have been to use as little
force as possible.
A marked increase in the bitterness of
the strikers has been seen since the
peace negotiations failed.

Suit Against Light Company
Not Contemplated Just Now

There is no present intention On the
part Of the District Commissioners to
enter suit against the Potomac Electric
Power Company for the amount Of
money which represents the difference
between street lighting at 1000 candle
power a lamp. and lighting at 700 candle
power a lamp. such a claim being indtcat-
ed by a member of the House appro-
priations committee. before which COM
mittee the Commissioners have appear
ed the last few days with entirely new
schemes for lighting the city streets at
a saving of $4,000 year.
Whatever action will be taken. il any,
in that direction" Maj. Judson, Engineer
Commissioner, said today. will be en-
tirely within the discretion of the appro-
priations committee of the House of Rep
resentatives."
The Commissioners are not saying much
about how the discrepancy was discov-
cred. and are not at all likely to saw any,
thing which will involve them in a dis
cussion with the power company officers.
Company Is Under Bond.
The company has furnished a bond,
which covers everything it furnishes the
city, and amounts to $127.OOO. The bills
for light furnished to the city are pre-
pared in the Office of Walter c. Allen.
electrical engineer for the District of
Columbia, where it is certified that the
service has been rendered. The bills are
then forwarded to the power company,
and when they return to the District
building they are passed on by the audi
tor.
Maj. Judson made two statements TODAY
in regard to the claim in the House ap-
propriations committee that the company
has furnished less light than is required.
In one statement he shows that re-
duction of electric light rates has been
agreed on by the company, that the
lighting system which now makes 10th
street a blaze of light after sundown
will be extended along several of the
prominent streets and avenues of the
city, and that with the improved light
ing there will be a saving of Sd, 900, il
the estimates stand as prepared by the
Commissioners.
He explained the discrepancy, and out
lined the new lighting scheme as follows:
This is a question as to specification
for arc lights for some years past In the
District Of Columbia, and we have placed
the question before the appropriations
committee. We have also prepared new
items for the appropriation bill, which
we hope will be adopted and which will
determine rates for all kinds of public
lighting.
''These rates are materially less than
