Charles w Morse, the New York fnan-
cier. after long battle, has been com
PEELED to go behind the bars for his viola
tions of the national banking laws. He
began a 15-year sentence in the penlten-
tiary at Atlanta, Ga, Monday. He insists
that he is being made scapegoat to popu-

most unjust in history He will continue
the fight, he says, until he is liberated.
At the precise moment of the birth of
the new year, an electric spark was flashed
around the earth, starting from the navy
department at Washington. 1t lost but
few seconds in making the circuit over
land and under sea- At New York city
there was unprecedented gaiety. Nothing
but champagne was drunk at hundreds of
down town hotels and restaurants, which
gathered in over million and half dol
lars. On the streets there was deafening
din. AT one hotel guests were given masks
and permitted to pass from table to table
without introduction.

That Abe Attell boxed honestly

by witnesses Of the scrap.

OF boxing bouts In the southern city.
Hamilton was careful student at

OF them In other bouts within the next
three months. he wanted to get a good
line on them.
