SAY He WILL DIE
Doctors Declare That FREEDOM Alone
Can save NIorse's Life.

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 23.-Charles W.
Morse, the New York banker, must
regain his freedom within a very short
time or he will die, according to a
report prepared and sent to Washing
ton after a conference yesterday of To-
cal physicians and military surgeons at
Fort Mcpherson, where Morse was re-
moved from the federal prison for
treatment.
Morse is not holding his own ac-
cording to the medical men. His con-
dition, it is said, was not so good as
it was yesterday after the detailed ex-
animation. The fact that the army
surgeons called several civilian prac-
titioners into the case is regarded as
an indication that the banker is con-
siderably worse than when taken
from the prison.
The post surgeons sent a report to
the adjutant general at Washington
last Saturday in which it was asserted
that the prisoner had made no i'm
provement under treatment On Mon
day advices from the capital said the
president and Attorney General Wick
ersham would take no action on
Morse's application for Communication.
His friends expected he would be set
free during the holidays.

connection with the attempted assas-

The prisoners are Vito Barone and
Vito Ingraffia.
Information given the police by an
other italian. who alleged he had posi-
tive information that Barone and In
graffia were guilty, led to the arrests.
The police informant also averred he
had been threatened with death for
exposing secrets of the BLACK hand. -
Sutero was fired on with a shotgun.
He escaped injury, but three passers-
by were wounded, none seriously.

The blue sky law is the invention
of the state bank commissioner of
Kansas, j. N. DOlley He was first
interested in the systematic robbery of
the people by fake companies by rea-
son of the effect that such losses had
on bank deposits. A little investiga-

tai millions of dollars annually He
round that literally hundreds of
agents representing scarcely more than

get money from a land deal or other
wise come into ready funds. but that

drastic to prevent mere legality of or

prevent any corporation designed and

Would Protect Public.
Without such a law providing for a
license only after a full statement from

only practical check to fraudulent en-
terprise is criminal prosecution or a
fraud order by the postcffice DEPART
