MRS. MORSE HOPES
TO FREE HUSBAND

New York, March 6.-(Special.)-
Charles W. Morse, the devoted wife of
the ice king and Wall street financier,
is receiving encouragement in the effort
she is making to secure for him full
pardon from President Taft. While Morse
waits helplessy in the federal prison at
Atlanta, serving under a sentence of Is
years, his wife sits in her little office at
10 Exchange Place, sending broadcast
copies of the petition appealing to the
President for clemency. Her aim is to
send them into every home in the coun-
try Already there has been an abundant
return for her labor in the letters of
sympathy from both men and women
that have literally flooded upon her daily.
They contain returned copies OF the Pc
tition, duly signed.
Among the petitions one which has af-
forded Mrs. Morse most pleasure is a
separate one sent from the teachers and
pupils of the Morse High school at Bath.
Me. 1t bears the signatures of all the
prominent citizens of Bath. Another evil
dence of the genuine sympathy that ex-
lists is the request of the depositors of
the Bank of North America for sep
arate circular which will be Endorsed
by Mr.. Morses old associates and friends.

big share in the victories
The reserves deserve credit for their
showing. having won six games and lost
nine
On the whole, basketball at the High
school has developed this year as never
before. 1t has improved the spirit of the
institution and increased fellowship
among the boys.
The game Saturday afternoon was a
walk-over for High school. The score was
81 to 80 when the referees whistle came

legians, and a great part of the second

Lad no trouble whatever during the first
half at the end of which the score stood
81 to in its favor. The Birmingham col
lege men were simply outclassed, de-
spite the fact that they are considered
in the college class
The exhibition was devoid of any spe-
cial feature. The usual High school stars
were in iine form, though the sluggish OPP
position offered no incentive to hard work.

FIVE DUELS IN VIEW
FOR ITALIAN DEPUTY

Rome. March 6.-The list of Deputy
Chiesa's prospective duels is growing.
His engagements on the field of honor
now number five. In the chamber yes
terday Deputy Shiesa, during the course
of an Interrogation to the government,
made allegations against the influence
of the Austrian Baroness Siemens on
the Italian army by reason of the
friendly terms she had established with
certain high officials. and against the
Duchess Litta, who he declared was a
great favorite of the late King Hum
bert, Deputy Shiesa proceeded to heap
insults on General Prudente, under sec
rotary of war and the army, and later
in the day was challenged by Generals
Prudente and Feccfa and Count Giaco-
mo Morandi, a nephew of the duchess.
Today another nephew of the Duchess
Litta and a nephew of Baroness Sic
mems came to the front and issued chal-
lenges, and as it is believed Deputy
Chiesa will accept all of them the af
trays will keep a large number of sec
onds and. attendants and probably doc
tors and surgeons busy for consider
able time.

STAGE WORKING ON
THE NEW RULES

Fayetteville. Ark. March Coach
Stage of the University of Chicago sent
the University of Arkansas football squad
through a hard workout yesterday trying
out various suggestions for changes in
rules. The suggestion that ends going
down under a punt should not be allowed
to get closer than five yards of a man re-
ceiving the ball until after he touched 1t
was tried out
Coach Stagg questions the suggestion
because of the possibility OF wrangling
over the question as to whether the ends
stopped five yards away from the men re-
ceiving the kick.
The suggestion to prevent backs from
pushing the runner with ball until he hit
the line was found unsatisfactory. as the
result was that the entire attack was cen
tered on one point and forming mass
play The suggestion TO place opposing
lines further apart was found to result
In rusbes that were even more fierce than
ordinary. The forward pass play was
used almost constantly.
Every day serves to strengthen the con
viction OF Stage In the adyisability of the
forward pass and open play

I'M MIGRANTS TO BE
PLACED ON FARMS

Washington, March Incorporation be-
tween the federal government and the
several states in the matter of placing
immigrants on farms was urged by Sec
rotary Nagel of the department of COM
n3erce and labor at conference held to-
night at the home of Representative
Dwight of New York in which Secretary
or Agriculture Wilson and others par
ticipated.
Secretary Nagel declared that the time
lad arrived for the states to establish re-
sponsible bureaus or agencies with which
the national bureau of immigration could
zeal At present government officials are
compelled to deal directly with lndivid-i
uals, tho reliability of whom they have
70 means of ascertaining.
In order to encourage desirable imms-
grants to leave the cities and get on the
soil, either as farm owners or farm la
horers by being able to assure them they
could better their conditions, Mr. Nagel
urged the necessity of a system whereby
they might be more satisfactorily placed.
Mr. Nagel struck the keynote when
he declared for state and federal Coop
Grafton generally and although no definite
plan was outlined 1t was agreed that the
idea should be developed and further con-
terences probably will be held to that end.

BANTAMWEIGHT BELT

New Orleans, March 6-Johnny Coulon,
bantamweight champion. scored a knock
cut in the nineteenth round of his battle
with Jeb kenriclS, the English claimant
of this title, late this afternoon This is
Coulon's second victory over Kenricll
within three weeks In the first match he
was given the decision at the end of the
tenth round.
A crowd of about ten thousand people
crowded the Westside Athletic club arena
at McDonoghville, just across the river
from New Orleans, and shouted them
selves hoarse when the American put the
tired Britisher down and practically out
with a right jolt over the heart. Ken
rick remained down until the count was
almost over, but staggered to his feet in
lettering condition just before the ref
cree got To ten. 1t was apparent, how
ever, that he had been finished and tie
light Was awarded to Coulon.
For the first five rounds the bout was
fast and spirited, with honors even. After
the fifth round Coulon began to wear his
opponent out. and in the sixteenth, seven
teenth and eighteenth rounds he was
hoored repeatedly. Coulon finished the
fight unmarked and to all appearances as
fresh as when he started.

NOTHING DONE YET FOR
WAGES OF TRAINMEN

Baltimore. March 6-Conferences and,
so far as the public is concerned,
silence. This sums up the days
work of Chairman Knapp of the inter
state commerce commission and Com
missioner of Labor Nell acting as
mediators between the officials of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the
conductors and trainmen of that road
in their differences as to wages and
working conditions.
The mediators returned here from
Washington this morning and con-
ferred with the representatives of the
conductors and trainmen. Following
this they had an extended talk with
President Willard and other officials
of the railroad and following this
again came another conference with the
men. As to what transpired at any of
these meetings no one would say.
Perhaps the most significant an
nouncement of the day was the state
ment that the mediators will return
here tomorrow to continue negotiations.
1t is understood such action on Sun
day is almost unprecedented insofar
as Chairman Knapp and Commissioner
Neill are concerned. That this Sunday
conference is to be held, however is
| held as a hopeful sign.
