FOR FREEDOM
. CHAS.W.M0RSE
ANOTHER FIGHT FOR HIS RE-
LEASE FROM THE PENlTENTl-
AIRY is BEGUN IN THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, May 2.-Another fight
for the freedom of Charles w. Morse,
the New York "ice king" who is
serving fifteen-year sentence in the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta, was
begun today in the supreme court of
the United States when Martin w.
Littleton asked leave to file petition
for writ of habeas corpus.
Morse was convicted of misappro-
priation of the funds of the Bank OF
North America and of making false
entries in the books.
Four reasons are given why the
sentence should be set aside. 1t is
contended that Morse did not have a
trial by an impartial jury, because
the jury during the trial was placed
in the exclusive custody of special
agents of the department of justice;
that one of the jurors, who is named,
was not mentally qualified; that the
trial court submitted to the jury an
offense not charged in the indictment,
and that the judgment is five years
in excess of what the statute author

candidacy for United States senator,

pleased, for the applause was frequent.
healthy and given with good will. Mr..
Broward spoke at length, giving his
views, his promises, his past and what
he desired for the future. One Of the
biggest features of his speech perhaps
was the slight reference which he
made to charges made against him by
competitors in the race, saying that
the L'Engle charges were wholly un.
true, and passing them with that ref.
erence. AS to the charges made by
Mr.. Taliaferro, he simply said that the
people looked up to Mr. Taliaferno as
a legislator for the interests, and he
left him with such reference.
Ex-Governor Broward was profuse
especially in his praise of Pensacola
at present and for the future. He
pointed out the many points for good
that should obtain at this poiut. and
among the pledges made were for a
system of intercoastal canals, con
tinued activity of the Pensacola navy
yard, enlargement Of the local army

of the farbor against the ravages OF

Mr. Borward is very sure of his
point before he speaks, and expresses
himself accordingly. He closed his
speech by appealing for consideration
at the polls, paid a tribute to the
ladies present, asked for careful con.
sideration of his candidacy and said
that it was the bounden duty of every
voter to do the right thing. He then
said that he had no men working for
him, no one trying to importune voters
to cast ballot for him, no one trying

head and congressman were chosen.
The race for governor was based on
the prohibition question, Hugh D. Nal.

local option.
1t Is believed that Mobile county has
given O'Neal the largest plurality OF

The intense interest throughout the
state, which centered in the guberna.
tOrial campaign, caused an immense
vote to be polled, as many voting as
on the constitutional amendment of a

The claim is made that a majority
of delegates to the state convention to
be held May II will favor local option
and insist on modification of the
state prohibition laws. 1t is also
claimed majority of the senate will
favor local option. The attitude OF
members of the house will not be
known for several days.

dications are that j. Thomas Heflin
has been nominated for reelection.
Senator John III. Bankhead was also
re-nominated; for chief justice, J. r.

The contest for railroad commission
er and state treasurer is in doubt.

1t is said also the ex-president will
in no sense be a candidate for the
presidency in 1912. On the contrary
his letters are said to indicate that
it is his conviction that the re election
of President Taft is the Republican
party's duty. While Colonel Roose-
Welt believes that a fight within the
party, when it is confined to opinions
of legislation, may be healthful, he
does not favor a degree of insurgency
that threatens to disrupt the party al
the polls, and will probably deliver
some speeches in the congressional
campaign in the west urging the re
turn of Republicans to congress.
