W. MORSE AND
JOHN WALSH ARE
DENIED PARDONS
President Taft Sees No Justi-
fication for Acts of Con.
yicted Bankers.

!. WASHINGTON, May 25.-President
Taft last night denied the application
for pardon of Charles w. Morse. the
former New York banker, who is serv-
ing a 1fteen-year sentence in the Fed
eral penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca. and
John r. Walsh. the Chicago financier
L~eayenworth, Kan.
Permission is given by the President
to Morse to enc his application for
pardon after January /, 1913. AS Walsh
is eligible for parole after next Sep
TENDER, when he will have served two
thirds of his sentence. the President
refused to take any action whatever In
his case.
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.
John r. Walsh was convicted of
misapplication Of the funds of the
Chicago National Bank while Its presi-
dent and was sentenced to imprison-
ment in the Leavenworth Penitentiary
for five years. He began serving his
sentence January 10. 1910,
Risked Funds of Three banks.
He risked nearly the whole funds
of the three banks In the security
of these enterprises and because of
these investments the banks failed.
Tho application for pardon must
be denied. In the first place the rec
ord shows moral turpitude of that In
sidious and dangerous kind to punish
which the national banking laws were
especially enacted"
Here is what the President had to
say in refusing the application OF
clemency In the Morse case:
Charles w. Morse was convicted of
misapplication of funds Of the National
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.
Although his conviction technically
was on false entries there is no doubt
the evidence showed generally that he
committed the same offense against
the banking laws which Walsh COM
mitted in the case against him.
although specific details differ some-
what In their technical as we'll as their
legal effect"

citation Of America, and honorary men,
Der of scientific societies. He is the in

found a practical use. and altogether he
is known by his young friends as the
wizard of electricity"
For the last five years he has been
studying electricity and is now COM
pleting the course for electrical en-
.gineering.
OF the eighteen guests who were
present last night some were entirely
uninitiated in the mysteries of cleo
tricity. n 1t was for the benefit of
these that the various surprises were
prepared so successfully. The guests
could not make a move anywhere In
the. house without ringing bells, turn
ing on or putting out lights and effects
that were more or less weird to those
unprepared for 1t.
While Mr.. and Mrs. KEELING, father
II mother of the host, were serving
the luncheon the diners were treated
to a series of surprises. The lights
would go out intermittently and during
the dark periods there appeared as II

Mr.. W. R. HEARST, SAILING,
PUTS O. K. ON DEMOCRATS.
Declines TO Say Whether He'll
Run for Presidency.

NEW YORK, May 25.-William Ran

for Europe yesterday on the Maure-
owns not only the Cosmopolitan Maya
zine in America, but Nash's Magazine
and The London Budget. in England.
Mr.. Hears has no idea of entering the
publishing field in Great Britain.
Just before sailing he said the Demo-
Gratis of this State has made a good
BEGINNING toward filling their preelec-
ton promises, out there remained a
good many pledges to be filled before
they would make a good ending. He
hopes to see the income tax amend
ment and an effective direct primary
bill passed. If the Legislature did not
do that, he said. the Democratic party
would not deserve the approval of the
people.
II believe the Democrats will be sue
cessful in 1872 he went on. THE
work of the House of Representatives
has been excellent, and the part taken
by Champ Clark makes him one of the
men to be prominently considered for
the presidency. Governor Woodrow
Wilson and Governor Harmon are good
men"
"will you be a candidate for Presi-
dent, Mr.. Hearst?"
II cannot say as to that. Well, you
never can tell"
Would you be a candidate under any
circumstances"
II don't think that is a fair ques-
ton" he replied.
Frank ]. Gould, who sailed with his
wife, thought Congress ought to pass
a law that would clear up the Sherman
antitrust act.
Joaquin Sorrolla y Bastida, Spanish
painter, sailed. So did DR.. James J.

SAYS HE'LL ASK
COURT To SETTLE
POLICE RUMPUS
South Orange Bluecoat Who
Claims to Be Head of P. B. A.
Threatens Trouble.

So complicated are the affairs of the
South Orange local, Patrolmen's
Benevolent Association. thai Theodore
Steve. who claims TO be It's president,
say he will insist upon the courts
Strengthening out the tangles. Several
members have resigned from the or
ganization and others threatened to do
likewise. Steve says he will not recog-
nize certain MEMBERS shut will always
respect the badges they wear and
salute them for hat reason alone,
The troubles, which have evidently
been long brewing, were brought to the
notice of the police committee of the
Village Board of Trustees by Marshal
Thomas F. Mcguire, at the arfnua in
spection of the department Tuesday,
the marshal claiming that efe memorial
ization of the force would result unless
harmony vas restored. Chairman
Frank L. Sage, of the committee, has
told the policemen that he personally
found that cliques had been formed
among them and decided that 1t must
stop at once or designations will be
asked for.
Asks Trustees for Hearing.
Patrolman Patrick J. Skefington has
asked the police committee to give a
hearing to a committee from the police
organization and the true cause of the
trouble will be thrashed out. Skefing-
ton. speaking to a reporter last night
said that Steve was the cause of the
furore.
Steve claims he was elected head of
the local eleven months ago and cam
not be removed from the office, accord
ing to the bylaws of the order, until
his term of n year expires. Skeffing-
ton, on the other hand, asserts that
Steve was an incompetent head and
that charges have been proven against
him to that effect.
Steve, it is charged, received a COM
munication from State President John
Beggans and failed to make any men,
ton of it at the local. For this, and
also because he made known certain
secrets of the order, il seems he was
notified of a suspension and fired by
the local. He refuses to recognize the
suspension, however, and claims that
the action was taken against him at
a meeting IN a private home, which
Is not legal.
1t is alleged by some. it is said, that
Patrolman Patrick J.. Mcguire, a
brother of the marshal. who went 10
Trenton as legislative delegate of the
local, did not properly work for the
interest of, the local while at the capital
city, and that when an attempt al
made to cal him" Steve is said to
have upheld Mcguire, causing more
friction.

Editorial Comment

had all the royal quarterings back to TimeleOn, and then-just read the American Stud Book.
 Uncertainty exists about the iden- tity of Timeleon sixth dam, but that she was of cold blood there is no doubt. It may hurt the feelings of some devotees of the Sport of Kings to say it, and possibly it does not agree with the personal opinion of MT. Haggin, but, viewed by and large, Salvador cannot be said to have been the success in the stud that his attachments on the turf had led us to expect him to be. It had been predicted, too. by Aurelius, a noted priest of New York whose knowledge of pedigrees in the horse world made him an authority reeOg- nized abroad as well as in America, that the cold blood in Timeleon s sixth dam would be shown in Sal vatOr's get, and the disappointing record of Prince Charlie's great son has seemingly verified the predic- tiOn.
 Does blood tell! Diomed. a great English paeer, brought to this coun- try when already beyond the average life of a horse, is the ancestor to which all peculiarly American thor oughbreds trace. In everyone of their pedigrees, without exception, the name DiOmed stands at the head.
 Does blood tell? Imp. Messenger, brought to Philadelphia from England in the Eighteenth century, was q thoroughbred, but with the trotting instinct, and every trotting-horse of recognized blood in America today traces in some way to Messenger And speaking of blood, ask any trot- ting horse breeder whether Hamble- tonian 10 possessed prepoteney or not, Is there a trOtting horse of note that does not trace to him!
 What horse-breeders know as A fundamental principle upon. which their entire success must be based, is that blood does tell. Kennel-own- CTS are equally aware of the eistenee of the same principle. And if Dr. Hutchinson imagines that blue-ribbon winners are not a matter of blood. let him go to great horse-breeding farms, to kennels, to bench shows and field trials and learn something that will be of advantage to him the next time he asks whether blood tells.

TWO COMPANIES
 HOLD ANNUAL MEETINGS.
(From Sundays Daily.)

During the week two important an nual meetings of mining companies were held in this city, and as a re- suit it is reported, both are ready to resume operations. The stock holders of the Minor Copper Com pany met at Mayer, a few days ago, and Frank Thornton was elected president and Miss Mamie Mayer, secretary. Four claims are owned by the company, and the meeting of the stockholders is said to be the final movement toward extensive de- velOpment.
 The stockholders of the Castle Cop per Company met in this city Mon day, when the election of directors for the ensuing year was held. Those chosen were R. Ward, J. N. Browne, II. M. Mcleod, T. G. Norris and F. O. Smith. This company owns the old Mt. Tritle properties, on Slate Creek. As result of assessment work performed this year, valuable ore bodies were determined and the property is said to be far more at traetive than ever. Representatives of an eastern syndicate are on the ground making an examination with a view of taking it over, the price to be paid ranging close to $l00,O00.

WHAT CONSTITUTES SUCCESS.

Success is usually estimated by the size of One's banking account That is but coarse and mereenary way of judging. It leaves out of reek- oning other considerations, the pos session or the absence of which can alone determine whether a man has or has not made success of life.
 The idle rich who toll not and spin not, but who squander time money and health in fast living may indeed, be termed wealthy men, but no sensible person would call them successful. To turn night into day to spend large sums of money upon actresses, to drink and gamble, all this stamps man as disreputable a disgrace to society, and a failure for there can be no true success without character.
 But there are wealthy men whose lives are free from vice and! who seem to be q very pattern of pros perlty, who yet are anything but successful. And this is because much of their wealth is made by constant violation of law and by unrighteou; attitude towards their business com petitors. A man is nothing but g failure who makes his money by tho sacrifice of conscience and of busi ness honor.
 Nor is that man to be considered successful who constantly absorb' money and gives nothing out TC live for one's self and ignore tho reasonable claims of others may re suit in added wealth, but he who so lives misses the best part of life and therefore that life is a failure

DIES IN GOVERNMENT
 CANYON
GFrorn Tuesdays Daily

Last night the dead body of a mar named A. O.. Haugue was found at the old Herman ranch in Gov ernment Canyon, a mile east of the city. The man evidently passed away from natural causes. The news was brought by Patrick Mccormick, an employee of the place, who stated that Haugue was seen lettering around the premises, and short time after entering the building was found dead. Judge McLane immediately after being notified went to the scene with jury, and returned about 10 o'clock with the body. In vestigation of the identity of the man failed to reveal anything of his relatives. Nothing of any value was found on the body, and his clothes were ragged The body was much emaeiated, indicating that he was in the last stages of tuberculosis.
 He was about fifty years of age. A verdict of death from natural causes was returned by the jury.
