Charles w. Morse

WASHINGTON. Jan. lit was an
nounced at the White House tonight that
the report Of the army medical officers
who have examined Charles w. Morse,
convicted New York banker, serving
sentence in the Atlanta, Ca. federal penl-
Tertiary, does not warrant immediate
interference by the president and the
pardon will not be granted at this time.
The physicians made a physical ex-
animation of Morse I'm the military hos
pital at Fort Mcpherson. where the
banker is being treated under guard. They
also studied his mental condition and
transmitted their findings to President
Taft through Surgeon General Torney
yesterday.
The physicians find that Morse is suf-
fering from arterio sclerosis, valvular
trouble of the heart. Brights disease and
has but recently suffered from an acute
attack of congestion Of the kidneys. They
found no paralysis.
The doctors pronounce Morses condi-
ton necessarily incurable, but do not ex-
pect immediate death. Their recommend
ations are such that President Taft found
no reason TO depart from the attitude
he has assumed in the Morse case. 1t
is generally understood President Taft is
unwilling that Morse die a prisoner, but
he does not intend to grant the pardon
until he Is convinced the prisoner Is in
dying condition.

THAWlNG FROZEN WATER PIPE
Electricity Put ON the Job and
Quickly Delivers the
Goods.

The great winter problem for those OF
us who live in the northland is the
thawing out of frozen water pipes. Try
as we will every now and then Jack
Frost will steal a march on us and when
We wake up in the morning the water
pipes will be frozen tight.
Applications OF hot water many remove
the Ice In the pipes II 1t happens where
the water can be applied without re-
moving the plaster and spelling the wood
work Once In while a hot flatiron will
do the trick but, often enough, the frost
will have a grip on the pipe in place
where nRtirons cannot be applied. Hold
Ing a lighted lamp under the frozen part
has been known TO work but It Is just as
apt TO set the house on fire.
II remained for an electrical genius
to rig UP a small portable transformer
for thawinE frozen water pipes. This
little device is connected TO the afflicted
pipe and the current turned on. In a
few minutes the pipe begins to get ex-
ceedingly warm and the ice melts away.
The device will work no matter where
the pipes are frozen even II the trouble
is located far under the ground. Many
central stations for the sale and distri-
button OF electricity now have one or
more OF the pipe thawers on hand and
they will apply the electrical remedy TO
any frozen pipe for a nominal sum.

MILLIONS IN ASTOR ESTATE
Enormous Value of the Family
Property I'm New York
City.

The total assessed valuation of the
property on Manhattan island owned by
Colonel John Jacob Astor. his cousin,
William Waldorf Astor of England, and
the estate OF William Astor the father
Of the present John Jacob, in which va
rious members of the family hold inter-
ests, is Sl07, 1853, 300 The Aston estate,
therefore, is New York's largest tax
payer by wide margin. OF this enor-
nous amount OF realty scattered all
over the city, William Waldorf Astor
is the greatest holder, his possessions
being assessed at $50, go, OOO John Jacob
Aston pays taxes, according to the pres
ent tax records, on s41, ZOE 800, while the
holdings OF the William Aston estate are
assessed at t16,466,5O0 Despite the in
creased assessments In recent years, It
is safe to say that the entire Astor hold
ings are not taxed on much more than
90 per cent OF what the holdings would
bring at private or public sale, so that
the marketable value OF this @lO7 OOO, 900
worth Of property would doubtless reach
Sl50,O0O.OO0
The list now prepared shows nearly
700 parcels of real estate, much of IL in
the choicest parts Of the city. It is diff
ficult to say at first glance which is the
more surprising. the magnitude and value
OF the holdings or the wide distribution
OF the properties Every section of the
city is represented. and IN nearly every
section large part OF the best proper
ties bear the imprint as Il were, OF the
Astor name. The Fifth avenue holdings
are enormously valuable, so are the
Broadway portions, many OF the latter
being in the Times square, district, where
values have jumped miraculously within
the last few years. Then there are blocks
in the best apartment house district on
the west side, and the east side tenement
house area contains whole rows OF
houses from which a steady income flows
into the Aston Golfers.
The Waldorf-Astoria hotel stands out
as the most valuable single piece Of prop
erty held by the Astors on the tax books
The Thirty-fourth street half, owned by
John Jacob Astor, is assessed at $780,
00O while the Thirty-third street half
owned by William Waldorf. and which
has just been transferred in trust for his
son, Waldorf. is valued at S6,s50,OO0 or a
total OF more than 100000. The Hotel
Aston. in Times square. is assessed at
S4,O50.OO0.
The founder OF the Aston fortune has
been dead but sixty-three years. and the
$40, 10000 which It was estimated he left
has increased 10 many times that amount.

sent but a portion OF the real Aston for
