MORSE DRAGGED

PRISON Wall
Made $1,000 in Wall Street
Deal Through Conni-
vance of Warden
Newspaper Mans Accusations
Against Meyer Uncovered
Peculiar Stock Deal

ATLANTA. Ca, Jan. "A heated per-
sonal argument between newspaper
editor and Warden William II. Meyer OF
the federal prison here resulted today
in disclosing that Charles w. Morse.
convicted banker. made $4,000 in a Wall
street deal through the courtesy OF
Warden Meyer. It was brought out that
in the spring of 1910 Morse made the
money in selling short" on gas stock
by means of cipher message Meyer al
lowed him to send.
To show his gratitude. or for some
other reason. Meyer said Morse subse-
quently offered to share the profits with
him. This alleged act on the part of
Morse so prejudiced the warden against
the former banker, in the opinion of F.
L. Seeley, who publishes the Atlanta
Georgian. that he subsequently sub
jected Morse to disciplinary treatment
characterized by the editor as repre-
hensible"
Morse in Solitary Cell
Seeley is a personal friend of Morse.
Last Thursday he printed in his paper
a story limiting at a congressional In
vestigation into Morse's treatment in
the penitentiary. citing an instance in
which he was alleged to have been
placed in solitary confinement in a
dungeon for giving sick boy about
to be discharged a paltry sum of
money.
The publication so incensed the war
den that he invited Atlanta newspaper
men to the prison to show them just
how Morse was kept In solitary con-
finement and to explain the circum-
stances. Editor seeley responded In
person as the representative OF his
paper.
Warden Answers SeeIey
Surrounded by newspaper men, Meyer
read a statement he had prepared an
swering the accusations made in Seeley's
paper. He mentioned that Morse had
been kept in solitary confinement for
two days in May. 1910. for refusing to
divulge the source OF about s46s found
In his possession. As soon as Morse did
SO he was released. he said. He showed
the visitors a fair sized, we'll lighted
and we'll ventilated room, in which he
said Morse was kept
II question the accuracy OF that
statement" said Editor Seeley. 81
have been reliably informed that Morse
had no mattress and no blanket, and
had to sleep on the iron states with
only his coat under his head"
That is untrue" the warden retorted
angrily. Who gave you such infor-
mation7"
Mr.. Morse himself and the physician
attending him at the time
The warden called in two deputies
in charge at the time, and both said
they would take oath that Morse had
both mattress and blanket.

LIGHT MAY BE THROWN !
ON ALLEGED CONSPIRACY

IN its preparation for the prosecu-
ton of Olaf A. Tveitmoe, Anton
- Johansen and E. A. Clancy, under
Indictment in Los Angeles for
conspiracy. the federal government
has seized the books and papers of
the State Building Trades council, OF
which Tveitmoe is secretary-treasurer
and Johansen is state organizer, and
the books and papers of the Asiatic
Exclusion league, of which Tveitmoe
is president.
The men under Indictment by the
federal grand jury in Los Angeles are
charged with conspiracy to transport
nitroglycerin from one state to an
other, and the theory of the United
States attorneys in Los Angeles is
that the documents and papers of the
two organizations may throw light on
the alleged conspiracy.
The seizure, which occurred last
Thursday afternoon, was not made
without show of force on the part of
Deputy United States Marshal Paul
Arnerich, who went to the headquar-
ters of the State Building Trades
council and the Exclusion league,
which are together in the Metropolis
Bank building at Market and New
Montgomery streets, and demanded the
books on a search warrant issued by
the United States district court in Los
Angeles.
When Arnerich presented himself at
the league headquarters he was told
that Secretary Yoel1 was absent. He
served the processes on J. B. Bowen.
ident. Bowen refused at first to de-
liver the books. The deputy marshal
told Bowen that a refusal to comply
with the demand carried with 1t the
suggestion that the association might
have something to cover up. Arnerich
communicated with United States Mar
shall c. T. Elliott by telephone. Elliott
instructed his deputy to proceed with
the service Of the processes and sug-
gested that Bowen would do well to
respect the demands of tho United
States court at once.
Bowen consulted with George Appel,
counsel for the league and attorney for
Tveitmoe. but after that formal re-
sistance was made and it was not until
the deputy marshal had made show
of force that he received the papers.
Among the books received were ac-
counts. minutes of meetings and other
records. They were forwarded to Los
Angeles.
The federal grand jury Of Los An
geles and the United States attorney
and special prosecutor had made ap-
plication to the district court for the
search warrant. The court issued a
subpoena duces tecum and a search war;

NORRIS WON'T BOX
AT THE NATIONAL

Billy Newman says that he win not
allow Carl Morris to box Al Palzer at
the National Sporting Club. in New
York. in accordance with Tom
O'Rourke's ultimatum. Newman said
yesterday:
"Palzer does all his training at the
National Sporting Club and o'Rourke
is closely, If not officially identified
with the clubs affairs. To fight Palzer
in that arena would be granting big
concession and would also be unfair to
Morris. There is no good reason why
Palzer should not be willing to box
Morris at a neutral club. The Empire
Fairmont and Madison A. C. are will
ing to bid for the match and all are
acceptable to Morris. We object to
the Royal A. c., of Brooklyn, on the
same grounds. O'Rourke is on very
friendly terms with Alex Brown An
Morris asks is a square deal We are
ready to make a match as soon as
o'Rourke decides toabe a good sport.

Nothing Definite Develops as to
Transfer of Royals to
Syracuse, But

Sam Lichtenhein is today the centre
of interest In international League
circles. The Montreal magnate has as
sumed an air of mystery, but the way
he has been dealing his cards has
tipped off his hands to the sharps.
Lichtenhein has always boasted that
he has sporting blood. and he has the
reputation of being a millionaire. The
way he has lost money and continued
to stick in baseball at Montreal makes
it look as though the story is true.
Lichtenhein is a shrewd business
man, a clever diplomat. and generally
makes a success of everything he
undertakes His latest move. the re-
ported transferring of the Montreal
franchise to Syracuse, is a clever and
well-planned trick, but it's dollars tc
doughnuts that Sam did not want 1t tc
leak out for some time to come.

Sam Lichfe1hein Hos All
Ball Shafps Guessing

"all Is quiet along the Potomac" to-
day, after the stir created by the latest
developments in the Montreal-S Syracuse
rumor. There are several reasons
which have come to light since yester-
day, however, which seem to verify
the truth Of the first report as outlined
yesterday, that Syracuse would replace
Montreal in 1912 In tho International
League
The first and most striking develop
ment is that the story originated from
tho headquarters of the league. and is
supposed to have come from no other
person than President Ed. Barrow him
self
At the time of the December meet
ing the campaign which Is now being
put into operation by Sam Lichtenhein
was mapped out, and to one man Bar
row Is said to have openly favored
Syracuse to Montreal.
McGinnity Doesn't Know.
Joe McGinnity, president of the New
ark club, when called on today for his
idea of such deal, was reticent, said
he thought that the rumor was wind,
like all of its predecessors, and said
that he had never been in Syracuse, so
that he was not sure whether or not
Syracuse would be better town than
Montreal He WAS evasive and dis
cussed the report with evident re-
luctance.
Syracuse is located and furnishes
better facilities than any other town
within hailing distance of the Interna-
tional Leagues orbit. 1t is only two
~
from Buffalo and seven from Toronto.
+, 1t would be possible for the Newark
and Jersey City teams TO leave New
York on the Empire State Express and
arrive at Syracuse at 2 o'clock In the
afternoon, giving the players plenty OF
time to get into their livery and out tc
the ball park
N. Y. State League to Have "say."
or course the New York Stat
League will have something to sas
about the secession of Syracuse. AL
lentown has been clamoring to get into
that circuit, and IL the deal goel
through in 1918 stands the best chance
OF replacing Syracuse. The New York
State League town is not as big as
| Montreal, not one-fifth as large. but Il
! il only breaks even would be money
saver. Such seems to be the opinion
all along the line.
The opinion held here by those ur
on the subject is that Iichtenhein owns
the franchise of the Syracuse club and
that Eddie McCafferty is sent there tc
/ get line on the possibilities of Syra
hcuse as a class AA town. They believe
that Lichtenhein has been driven tc
the wall at Montreal by his enemies
and rather than show the white feather
he will transfer the franchise to syria.
