PARDONS DENIED
CONVICT BANKERS
President Refuses Applications
Of Walsh and Morse.
LAWS MUST Be UPHELD

Mr.. Taft Also Declined to Shorten
Sentences of the Two Men or Grant
Any Executive CIemency.
President Taft denied the applica-
ton for pardon of Charles w. Morse,
the former New York banker, serving
a fifteen-year sentence in the federal
penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca, and John
r. Walsh, the Chicago financier, who
is serving a five-year sentence at
Leavenworth, Kan.
Permission is given by the president
to Morse to renew his application for
pardon after Jan. l, 1913. AS Walsh
is eligible for parole after next Sep
tember, when he will have served two
thirds of his sentence, the president
refused to take any action whatever
in his case.
In deciding against Morse and
Walsh, the president has resisted the
most powerful influences that have
been brought to bear upon him on any
subject since he entered the White
House. In his memorandum announc-
ing his rejection of the applications
he refers to the influential and promi-
nent persons who have petitioned in
behalf of the prisoners, and adds that
they apparently fail to appreciate the
high Importance to society that such
criminal breaches of trust as Morse
and Walsh are guilty of should be Sc
verely punished.
In the case of Morse, the prisoners
wife presented a petition bearing the
names of about 10000 persons, includ-
Walsh's case the requests for elem
ency also came from many well known
in politics, society and business.
Not only did the president refuse to
pardon either Morse or Walsh, but he
also declined at this time to exercise
any other sort of executive clemency
in these cases or to shorten the sen.
tence imposed upon the two men by
the courts in which they were con
victed.
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 tC
the Morse appeal.
The president holds that the meI
were guilty in proportion to the trus
and confidence extended in them. H,
points out the necessity of the govern
ment's emphasizing the difference be
tween honest business and dishones
breaches of trust" particularly be
cause the present mad rush 70

profit from legitimate business ant
improper gain from undue use of trus

AVIATORS START
I3OO-MILE RACE
One American in Paris to
Rome Flight.

Nothing equaling the Petit Journals
Paris-Rome-Turin aeroplane contest
for a prize of 100000, which started
in Paris, has yet been seen.
Within fifteen minutes from the ap-
pointed minute of starting ten of the
competitors got away and within an
hour twelve had started on the 1900
mile flight. The understanding was
that the first to arrive at Nice would
win the first stage prize.
Garros was the first away, deter
mined to Offset the bad luck he had in
the Paris to Madrid contest. Beau
mont Conneau, the French navy lieu
tenant, who in the Paris to Madrid
race started under the name of Andre
Beaumont, was the second to start.
Conneau reached Dion, 165 miles
away, at 11.21, and Garros arrived at
11.40. Conneau arrived at Lyons, 275
miles distant from the starting point,
at 1928, followed by Garros at 402.
Henry Weymann, the only Ameri-
can in the race, started flying the
Stars and Stripes. His rapid Nieuport
machine left far behind Frey's Mo-
rane, though Frey got away shortly
before Weymann. Weymann came
down at Bedford, fifty miles from the
start, because he was short of gaso
line. He expects to restart. All the
veteran airmen were present, among
them Bleriot, Farman and Latham L
was noticeable however that the
tempting prizes had failed to attrac

MOTOR BOAT SUNK:IN CRASH
Presidents Yacht In Fatal Collision on
Potomac River.

President Taft visited the apartment
ton, who was drowned in the Potomac
river on Saturday as the result of a
collision between the government dis
patch boat Dolphin and the motor boat
Culprit Fay, in which Yellowless, with
two companions, was riding.
Miss Helen Taft, the presidents
daughter, was on board the Dolphin
when the accident occurred, and the
president desired personally to offer
his condolences to the dead mans rel
atives. Upon calling at the apartment,
however, he learned that Yellowless
had no relatives in Washington. The
! president then caused orders to be is
sued to the police and to the navy
| yard officials to see that everything
possible was done to recover the body
and to care for it afterward.
Later the president called upon John
G.. Lindsay, owner and one of the oc.
cupants of the motor boat, and ex
pressed his sorrow at the loss of the
motor boat, which is now at the bot
tom of the river.
The motor boat, Lindsay says, was
just passing the ferry slip at Alexan
dria when the Dolphin was seer loom
ing up ahead. A sailor on board th'
Dolphin shouted warning, but 1t wa

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t Is An Internal Disease And Re-
quires An Internal Remedy.

Qutres An INTERNAL Kennedy.
The cause of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get a
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure, which Is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of cases.
it has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe 1t will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes its cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and

bitration treaty with Great Britain.
inns was a curious outcome for a peace propaganda, but it is
perhaps more useful than the intended outcome would have been. II
teaches a lesson The resolutions adopted under the stars show
how blindly a large number Of intelligent men can gaze upon a thing
whose meaning IS as clear as the stars and yet mistake the meaning
and dstort it into the very opposite Of its plain intent.
The authors of the resolutions believe the arbitration treaty.
proposed in the interest of peace is in fact a treaty Of alliance for
the purpose of war. And yet the objects of the treaty have been
explained to the public by the press and by the pulpit and by the lee
