CHAS.,W. MORSE SOON
President Makes 1t Plain That No Ac-

$S'NN''t "N'NSo ~ iClu nat tNO AC-
tion Will Be Taken in Case Now.
Washington, Dec. 19.-President
Taft and Attorney General Wciker-
sham made it plain today that, for
the present, no further action would
be taken by the government in the
case of Charles w. Morse.
Mr.. Wickersham, following a meet
ing of the cabinet, said that Morse
was not in critical condition and
would remain in the army hospital at
Fort Mcpherson, near Atlanta, Ca,
where he was removed from the At
lanta penitentiary several weeks ago.
The application for a commutation
of sentence will not be considered by
the president or Mr.. Wiekersham un-
less the condition of Morse grows
materially worse. A parole has never
been under consideration. Officials
here say that Morse's friends cannot
expect further action at this time.
They point out that the department
of justice has been most lenient in
its handling of Morse since it be-
came known that he was seriously i'll.

Brunswick people have no doubt
been attracted during the past week
by the beautiful jewelry store of A.
Rothschild, which is one of the pret
test stores in the South.

complete line of holiday goods which
he mas on display, and which is un-
questionably the largest and most va
ried line ever carried by a jeweler in
Georgia.
His line this season consists of
everything that is new and novel in
the way of gifts. He has diamonds
in every size and setting conceivable.
Besides the usual line carried by first
class jewelers., Mr. Rothschild has a

elegant. The new matrix, jodes and
coral canoes, of which he has large
line, is the very lyatest and will se
popular this season.

glass ladies' pocketbooks and shop
ping bags, manicure sets, watches,
pins, of all kinds, and in fact, every
thing that is andled by the larger
jewellers is to be found in his beaut1-
full store.
Mr. Rothschild reports that he is
enjoying a big Christmas trade and
expects big holiday season and he
deserves it by carrying such hand

Northern Chinks Surprised.

The meeting has brought from the
north a large body of bureaucratic
Chinese who after twenty four hours
in Shanghai express unbounded aston
ishment at conditions south of the
Yang Use.
Chinese and foreigners coming from
the north alike admit that within the
past sixty days an astounding political
change has come over the south. Tang
Shao Yi's delegates evidently are
deeply impressed with the widespread
demand for republic, but they still
hope that the combined authority of
Tang Shao vi and Yuan Shi Kai will
prevail. The action Of the powers un-
doubtedly will have considerable
weight in pressing to satisfactory
outcome the negotiations of the pres
ent conference.
Much comment has been aroused by
the prominence of persons of British
nationality both officials and others,
in connection with the conference and
the journey from Pekin to the south
of Tang Shao vi. Both at Shanghai
and at Hankow the British consuls,
acting presumably under instructions
from higher quarters, met the boat
on which Tang Shao vi was travelling
down the Yang Tse Notwithstand-
ing that Tang Shao vi landed at the
French settlement, the British con-
sui here took a leading part in his
reception and persuaded him to take
up his residence in his private house.
Leaders of the revolutionary party
express much chagrin at Tang Shao
Yps refusal to accept the hospitality
which had been provided for him on
neutral ground.

The pour parlers" between wa

Enthusiastically evident, however, that
the continuation of Manchu rule, even
as concerns the imperial throne at
Pekin, is considered unlikely by either
side.
Even though the present dynasty is
ousted, the premier evidently hopes
to retain the imperial form of gov
ernment, possibly with the present
emperor designated as the first ruler
of a new Chinese dynasty, and with
Yuan Shi kai as regent.
The personality of Yuan Shi Kai
dominates the convention The great
tight among the delegates will be as
to- whether the form of government
is to be imperial or republican. If
an empire, Yuan will be regent. If a
republic, Yuan will be the first presi.
dent. The revolutionary delegates be-
lieve that they will be victorious in
their demands for a republic. Even
the very staunchest of imperial dele
gates admit that Manchu rule is

ANOTHER PIONEER PASSES.

Last Sunday evening c. J. Moss
died at the Werk's hospital in Pue-
bio after an illness dating back for
about five years. For the past year
Mr.. Moss had made his home with
his daughter, Mrs. Jack Monteith of
this city and several months ago his
mind became affected, so that it grew
necessary to place him where he could
have the proper care and attention.
Accordingly last June he was taken to
Pueblo where he entered Werk's hos
pital. He seemed to get along very
nicely until just recently when the
reports were less favorable. But moth
ing serious was anticipated so that
his death was somewhat of a shock
to his children.
He left, to mourn his loss, four
children, two sons, j. j. and Fred,
the former living at Breen, and two
daughters, Mrs. Nettie Townsend, and
Mrs. Jack Monteith, both residents of
Durango. Mrs. Moss preceded her
husband several years ago.
C. ]. Moss was native OF North
Carolina where he was born sixty
two years ago. He lived in the south
until he was 1S years Of age when
he came to Colorado, locating in the
vicinity of Pueblo, where he remain
ed for few years after his arrival.
While he spent some time at in
tervals in the east and south, for the
past thirty years Mr.. Moss lived in
the San Juan, where he is widely
known, not only in Durango and vi
cinity, but in San Juan county, New
Mexico, and in Silverton.
His many friends throughout the
southwest will be sorry to learn of
his death, and will extend sympathy
to the members of the family left to
mourn the loss of father.
The funeral will be held in Pueblo
where interment will take place.
