Neigh Neb., May 25.-Special to
The News: The important feature in

weeks ago in this city, was rehashed
by the board of supervisors of An

CHARLES ". MORSE
ALSO TURNED DOWN
PRESIDENT TAKES FIRM STAND
THAT BANK LAWS MUST
BE UPHELD.

Washington, May >25.-President
Taft last night denied the applications
for the pardon of Charles w. Morse
of New York and John r. Walsh of
Chicago, the two most prominent bank
ers ever convicted and sent to federal
prison 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 the pardons the president
took a firm stand that the national
banking laws or any other laws must
be upheld when they affect the rich
man ever more than when they affect
the poor. The record in the Walsh
case, the president said, Shows moral
turpitude of that insidious and dan
gerous kind, to punish which the ma
tional banking laws were especially
enacted"
In condering the case of Morse, the
president said that from a considera-
IlOu VI Iut ldCIS III tdCn case, nave
no doubt that Morse should have re-
ceived heavier sentence than Walsh.
Indeed the methods taken by Morse
tend to show that more keenly than
Walsh did he realize the evil he was
doing"
The presidents denial of the pardon
applications does not mean that the
men must stay in prison until the end
of their terms. Walsh began a sen
tence of five years in the Leaven
worth penitentiary in January, 1910
and under the federal parole law is
eligible for parole next September
the presidents action having no bear
ing whatever upon future action fol
parole.
Morse also began his federal term
in the Atlanta penitentiary in January
1910. In denying his application the
president granted leave to renew II
after January 1, 1915. Under the par
ole law Morse would be eligible fol
release in 1915.

NEBRASKA PLAYER
RECEIVED MONEY
SIDNEY COLLINS FOOTBALL STAR,
GOT 5000 FOR PLAYING
ON TEAM

Lincoln, May 25.-At meeting of
the University of Nebraska Athletic
board, charges Of professionalism
against Sidney Collins, the star center
of the football team, were taken up
and, following testimony Of witnesses
and the introduction of affidavits to
show that Collins had received money
during the seasons of 1907 and 1908,
the accused athlete made admission
that he had received 5000 for playing
on the team.
The board adopted resolution with
drawing Collins from participation in
the Missouri Valley track meet at
Des Moines next Saturday but voiced
the opinion that while Collins was
guilty of professionalism, his accept
ance Of the money was for the pur-
pose of enabling him to pursue his
course in the university rather than
direct reward for playing on the
football team.

MADERO ORDERS
ANOTHER BATTLE
COMMANDS iNSURREcToS TO At
TACK CAPITAL OF COAHUlLA
If NECESSARY.

Juarez, May 25.-A resumption of
hostilities in the state of Coahuila was
ordered today. Francisco l. Madero
gave instructions for the insurrecto
forces in that state to advance on Sal
tillo, the capital, a city of $4,000 popu-
lation, with a view of taking it from
the federals and forcibly establishing
the provisional governor there.
Coahuila is one of the four states in
which Madero asserts it had been
agreed he should install his provision
al governors.
Madero today received advices that
the legislature there had refused to
install Senior Venus Pine Carranza,
who had been chosen for that post.
The insurrecto leader there is I'M
der instructions by telegraph for the
insurrectos to advance on the city and
open an attack if necessary.
A statement issued from insurrecto
headquarters follows:
Word has been received in the Of
fee of the provisional government
that the legislature of Coahuila has
refused to turn the government over
to Senior Carranza and that it has
been proposed to install In his place
Pragedis De la Pima or DR.. Carlos
Viesca.
"The provisional president, who
knows perfectly we'll that public opin-
ion favors Senior Carranza and that
he was the popular candidate for gov
ernor in the last election and would
have been elected by majority of
votes, does not wish to yield to the
Legislature and he has given the nee
essary instructions for the insurrecto
forces to advance on the capital of
Coahuila and compel the legislature to
act in accordance with the aspirations
of the revolutionists. 1t is probable
that the federal forces will join with
the insurrectos."

Lincoln, May 25.-Braving a wind
that blew steadily at thirty miles an
hour, with occasional ugly gusts,
James Ward in a Curtiss biplane gave
an exhibition of air flight late last
evening after the other aviators had
declared it was too risky to take to
the air. Ward was aloft nine min
utes, but confessed his flight was dan
gerous, the gusts of wind occasionally
whipping him around and bringing his
biplane to a perilous angle. If the
weather is better today Ward hopes
to make high altitude fight.

had given out no interviews and that
