NEW TURN IN GRAFT CASES.
Witnesses Refuse to Appear Before
Ohio Senate "WhiteWashers."

Columbus, O., May 25.-Attorneys for
the senate's so called "whitewash"
committee were hard hit again when
Negley G. Cochrane of Toledo, who
has acted as legislative representative
for a group of newspa Nrs, took the at
titude assumed by o. witnesses sub
poenaed before the committee. He re-
fused to testify and, like the others,
was arrested on a warrant sworn to
before Justice of the Peace Hennessy
by a member of the committee.
The justice will pass today on the
case of the witnesses, but he cannot
rule upon the legality of the commit
tees inquiry, which is questioned by
the recalcitrant witnesses.
In Judge Kinkead's court attorneys
for DR. George 3. Nye, indicted house
member, lost out in their effort to i'm
peach the character of the prosecuting
witness, E. A. Crawford, state super
visor of public printing, whom they in
dicated in questions directed at him
on the stand was mixed in the Adams
county vote selling scandal, and also
faced a charge ONE time ago in the
United States courts. When Judge
Kinkead sustained objections to this
line Of questions they issued subpoe-
mas for a number of Adams county
residents, among them Judge A. Il.
Blair, and indicated that through them
they would bring out what they had to
show against Crawford.

KALISCH FOR
SOUTH JERSEY
Changes Made In Supreme
Court Assignments.

Trenton, n. j., May 25.-When Sam
uel Kalisch takes his place on the
supreme court bench Upon the retire
ment of Justice Reed, June 10 next.
he will, as the junior member OF the
court, be assigned to the circuit re.
naming after all the other justices
have had an opportunity to make q
change, If they desire. Just how the
readjustment of circuits will work out
is not known, but it is not likely that
Justice Kalisch will succeed Justice
Reed in the fourth district, which
comprises the counties Of Mercer.
Hunterdon and Warren.
The practice followed by the court
when a vacancy occurs in a circuit Is
to permit each member in order OF
seniority to make a change If he sc
wishes. Chief Justice Gummere ranks
first and might, if he desired, select
Justice Reeds circuit. 1t is practically
certain, however, that neither the chief
justice, Justice Garrison nor Justice
Swayze, the three who outrank Justice
Reed in point of seniority, will make
any change. Each of the three has had
an opportunity to do so in the past, but
has selected to retain his present cir
cult.
The next choice will fall to Justice
Trenchard, who has the first district.
consisting of Atlantic, Cape May, Cum
berland andN Salem counties. This is
not generally regarded as one of the
most desirable circuits in the state and
it is rather anticipated that Justice
Trenchard may decide to select Justice
Reeds circuit, even should it n~ecessi-
tate his removing to Trenton as a mat
ter of geographical convenience. With
the retirement of Justice Reed, Trenton
would otherwise be without a resident
member of the court.

PARDONS ARE
DENIED Them
Morse and Walsh Must Re-
main In Federal Prisons.

Washington, May 25.-The applica-
tons of Charles w. Morse, the former
New York banker, who is serving M
teen years in the federal prison at At
lanta, Ga, and John r. Walsh, Chi
cago fnancier, who is serving a five
year sentence at the Leavenworth
Kan.) federal penitentiary, have been
denied by President Taft.
Permission is given by the president
to Morse to renew his application for
pardon after Jan. 1, 1913. As Walsh Is
eligible for parole after next Septem-
Der, when he will have served two
thirds of his sentence, the president re-
fused to take any action whatever In
his case.
In deciding against Morse and Walsh
tho president has resisted the most
powerful influences that have been
brought to peal upon him on any sub
ject since he entered the White House.
In his memorandum announcing his
rejection of the application he refers
to the influential and prominent per
SOM who have petitioned in behalf of
the prisoners, and adds that they ap-
parently fail to appreciate the high i'm
%portance to society that such criminal
breaches Of trust as Morse and Walsh
are guilty of should be severely pun
ished. In the case of Morse the prison
er's wife presented a petition bearing
the names Of about 10000 persons, in
Guiding many in political life, while In
Walsh's case the requests for clemency
also came from many well known per-
sons In society and business.
The president in his opinion lays
down certain principles concerning the
violation of the national banking laws
In considering the Walsh case and
then applies these principles to the
Morse appeal. The president holds that
both men were guilty In proportion to
the trust and confidence extended in
them. He points out the necessity of
the governments emphasizing the diff
ference between "honest business and
dishonest breaches of trust" particu-
larly because the present mad rush
for wealth" has dimmed the lines be-
tween profit from legitimate business
and improper gain from undue use of
trust control over other peoples prop
erty and money"
John r. Walsh was convicted of mis-
application of the funds of the Chi
cago National bank while its president
and was sentenced to imprisonment in
the Leavenworth federal penitentiary
for five years. He began serving his
sentence Jan. 10, 1910.
Charles w. Morse was convicted of
misapplication of funds of the Ma
tional Bank of North America and of
making false entries In the books of
the bank and in its reports to the
comptroller of the currency. On ap-
peal to the circuit court of appeals his
conviction on the false entry charge
was affirmed. He was sentenced to
Imprisonment for fifteen years in the
| Atlanta federal penitentiary, and be-
gan serving his term on Jan. 3, 1910.
He had been confined in the TOmbs for
ten months before he was taken to
atlanta.
