the national banking laws.
Before leaving the Tombs, where he
had been confined for the greater part
Of the past year, Morse received his
wife and two sons and then the news
paper men. He was too affected to
say anything, but he handed out
carefully prepared statement of com.
ment on his case.
Mrs. Morse did not accompany her
husband to Atlanta. At her home she
said:
II am going to Atlanta at once and
1 shall probably live there until my
husband is released will devote all
my time in getting up petition to
that end. In the last two weeks l have
received thousands of letters, the writ

P|LADEL PHAS RULERS AND POLICE REVEL IN DEBAUCH OF
BLOOD WOMENS S4R|EKS AND VIOLATED PROPERTY RIGHTS

PHILADELPHIA, March 1S.-A
clash between property rights has
been witnessed in the streets of
Philadelphia during the strike, in
which a crowd of human beings
were caught and mangled.
To begin with, the Philadelphia
baseball club owns it's parks.
The trolley trust dominates the
mayor.
The director of police owns troll
ley stock.
Some $4,000 people. forbidden to
occupy the streets occupied by the
street railway Tor any other
streetsl wanted to have a meeting.
The ball park officials gave the
use of the park which it owned.
But the mayor, dominated by the
trolley and the director of police
owning some trolley stock, didn't
want that meeting held and denied
the right to the baseball people to
do as they please with the park
they own.
So 1900 police barred the gates of
the park and. you see. conflicting
property rights were at grips.
The police wouldn't let the strik-
ers and their friends into the park,
so some one shouted, "On to city
hall mean ng that these voters
would go to the seat of their gov
ernment and find out whether thev
had am rights
1T was not shout of defiance or
q call to arms" as the PHILADELPHIA
North American says.
SO the great army of sober. well
dressed men, women and children
moved in line toward the center of
the city. These people were leader
less and entirely unorganized. Some
carried American flags. some sang
popular airs, but most of them
moved along like men do leaving a

TURKS
KILLED
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
CONSTANTlNOPLE, March 10.
Despite the strict censorship of
dispatches from Athens, reports of
further disorders between the
peasants and the soldiers reached
here today. 1t was learned that
several wealthy Turkish Moham-
medan land owners have been
killed and their homes sacked by
the enraged Greeks, despite the
presence Of strong forces Of troops.
The disorders are the result of
the governments refusal to grant
the demands of the Christian peas
ants to dspossess the big land
owners, who are mostly Turks, and
divide their land among the peas
ants. There is little likelihood that
the government will accede to
those demands owing to the Turko-
Greek treaty, which guarantees
the land owners their present
rights.
