DEAL WORKED OUT
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 7.-Those
unbelievers who refuse to admit
the possibility of the resurrection
are requested to turn their eyes
toward this city and regard the
convict banker, Charles w.
Morse.
Three weeks ago, Charles w.
Morse only had ten days to live.
This was sworn to by reputable
physicians, and on the strength
of their oaths, Mrs. Charles w.
Morse secured from President
Taft Communication of the banker
convict's fifteen year sentence to
Atlanta penitentiary.
And did Charles w. Morse die
at the end of the ten days? Not
on your wrecked bank!
The same Charles w. Morse is
up and about now, contemplating
a trip to Europe, and his friends
are going to ask that his citizen
ship be restored.
Also, those same physicians
who were ready to sign afidavits
as to how soon he would die, now
have cheerfully guaranteed that
he will live for several years.
A telegram from Washington
today declares that President
Taft suspects" that Morse never
was dying. 1t does not explain
what has aroused the chief exc
cutive's suspicious.
Taft is going to hear more
about Morse in a day or so. His
friends are o1anninp te have Taft

CHICAGO HOTEL
!. LObb|ES ARE
JAMMED

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, June 17-Ten thou
sand men talking of one topic Is
hours daily, wearing a channel IN
their brains with the constant
hammer, hammer of a single line
of thought, are standing in the
hotel Hobbies today, half hysteri-
cal, with nerves. 1t will be ire
mendous relief when the gaveI
falls tomorrow at the Coliseum
and the convention begins. There
are countless visitors here for the
convention, whose fortunes, one
way or another, are bound up I'm
the result of this weeks ballot
ing.
The lobby of the Congress ho-
tel, in which hostelry are the
Taft, Roosevelt and Cummins
headquarters. today was damned
with humanity, and filed with a
clamor that resolved itself into
a continuous roar. The same
questions, the same answers were
repeated twice a thousand times
an hour. The tiled floor Is hard
on the feet and the delegates and
other politicians shifted YEARLY
from one foot to the other.
Yet they stood to talk, talk,
talk from early morning.
Upstairs In a corner suite in a
parlor floor is Roosevelt. His
outer door Is closed but there
stands a constant hopeful group
of thirty to forty men. 1t seems
never to vary. Sometimes one
gets in to see the colonel but not
one of ten.
State quarters are scattered
here and there through Chicago's
hotels, not many people staying
in them. The noisy babble is in
the Congress lobby and something
might turn up should anyone stay
in a state headquarters. Once in
a while one of the leaders edges
through the crowd, string of
satellites in his wage and every
body in his path suspends talk
for a moment-but only for a
moment.
The rulers of the convention
fight nearly all the time and help
thereby to make the tension more
tense.
On sidewalks outside the Con-
gress Is another crowd, thou
sand or more shifting in and out,
staring, talking. Here as every
where else, the talk Is all the
-same-can he do it? Is he get
ting Taft's delegates?
rs 1t true the Southern ne
groes are deserting?"
"He" in lobby conversation al
ways Is Roosevelt. Sunday night
the vibration of his personality
was shaking all the crowd. The
Taft men cheered little, the
Roosevelt men much.

Beginning with the pleading OF
Columbus at court for ships and

lures Of his ultimate disgrace and
life in chains, the film portrays
in costume and scenery what &C

exact duplicates of Columbus

Reporter Bryan Interviews
Candidate Col. Roosevelt

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, June 17.-William
j. Bryan, democratic leader and
three times beaten for president
of the United States, is occupying
much of the attention of both the
managers of Taft and Roosevelt.
Arriving here yesterday unher-
aided he vas given a welcome
which he himself admitted was as
warm as any he ever received
from a democratic assemblage
and today as he moved about the
corridors of the hotel he was en-
Enthusiastically acclaimed. The
majority of the delegates seem to
believe that Bryan will be nom
mated at Baltimore and that he
is studying conditions here first
hand in order to be better pre-
pared for shaping things in the
Maryland city.
To the United Press, however,
Bryan renewed his denial that
he is a candidate or that he even
has lingering belief that he may
be named again as the democrat
tic candidate. He expects the
fight to be between Clark and
Wilson, and will tour the country
for whichever shall be named.
The colonel from Nebraska was
still chuckling today over his visit
to the colonel from Oyster Bay,
which he paid in his capacity as a
newspaper correspondent yester-
day. The two men who may be
assailing each other from the
stump within fortnight were In

because of delays caused by the
city of Seattle. He also admit
