MORSE WANTS
 HABEAS CORPUS

Atlanta, June 23.-Habeas corpus proceedings looking to the release of Charles W Morse, the New York bank CT, from the federal penitentiary here will be begun in the United States court tomorrow, it was announced by Morse's attorney this afternoon.
 The effort to free the New Yorker from his 15-year sentence imposed fol- lowing his conviction of violating the national banking laws will be made on purely technical grounds
 Morse's lawyers, Lamar Hill and R. R. Arnold of Atlanta, according to their an- nouncement this afternoon, will attempt to obtain the release of the prisoner on the grounds that he was given a sentence in excess of that provided by statute for offenses of the kind of which he was de- clared guilty and that he could not be sentenced to hard labor. It is pointed out by the attorneys that the act under which the Atlanta penitenuary was established provides that it shall be a place of which men shall be imprisoned tat hard labor Therefore, they contend Morse, not being amenable to a labor sentence, should mol be held at the prison, but if convicted al all should be held in some New York jail.
 The lawyers hold that under the law a man convicted of the offenses Morse was could not be sentenced to more than 10 years on any count. Morse was declared guilty on II counts and the presiding judge sentenced him to one gross sentence of b years on one count which they point out is entirely illegal, being five years in excess of that provided by the code.
 MT. Hill and MT. Arnold served rotice on the district judge and district attor- ney that they would apply for the writ of habeas corpus tomorrow, and United States District Judge William T. Newman set 10 O clock as the time for hearing the application for the writ

The high barometric pressure in the southeast and the continued rains have served to keep the temperatures low in middle and east Gulf states, but very high readings occurred within a belt of country extending all around this cool region. Readings high in the sos occurred from Florida to Maryland and Pennsyl- vanis and from there along the lakes and through the middle Mississippi valley to South Daskota and Nebraska, and thence southward over the Rocky Mountain slopes to Texas and the southwest. The highest today at Birmingham, S4 degrees. seemed much higher on account of the hiSh humidity prevailing.
