Washington. May 24,-President
Taft tonight denied the applications
for the pardon of Charles w. Morse
of New York and of John r. Walsh
of Chicago. the two most prominent
bankers ever convicted and sentenced
to federal prisons under the national
banking laws.
Not only did the president refuse
to pardon them, but he also declined
to exercise any other executive Glenn
ency in these cases or to shorten the
sentences imposed by the courts.
In denying tie par1ons the presi-
dent took firm stand that the ma
! tional banking laws or any other
laws must be upheld when the affect
the rich man even more than when
they affect the poor. The record in
! the Walsh case, the president said,
shows moral turptude OF that insid-
Gus and dangerous kind to punish
which the banking laws We're specially
enacted
In considering the case of Morse
the president said:
From a consideration of the facts
in each case | have no doubt that
Morse should have received a heavier
sentence than Walsh. Indeed the
methods taken by Morse tend to show
that more keenly than Walsh did he
realize the evil that he was doing"
The presidents denial of the par
don applications does not mean that
the men must stay in prison until the
end of their terms. Walsh began a
sentence of five years in the Leaven-
worth penitentiary in January, 1910
and under the federal parole law Is

it had drawn across the tragic scene

The month was August, and the
long arctic day had already begun to

first time, below the horizon. By now
there were four or five hours, out Of

The sun set while he hung there in
the air. and as it did so, with new
slant Of the breeze the fog rolled itself
up into great violet-colored cloud,
leaving the earth, the ice, the sea un-
yelled below him. And there, in the
open water Of the little bay, he saw a
ship, and on the shore a cluster of
rude huts.
It struck him, even from the height
at which he scared, that the ship, tied
to an ice-floe in the shelter Of the
great headland, did not look like a
whaler, nor like the sort of craft
which an arctic explorer would have
selected for his purposes. 1t had more
