Morse's Comment

Atlanta. Ga, January 1S.--'T am glad to hear the news was the only con- ment made by Charles w. Morse, when informed by Major Baker, the post sur geon at Fort McPherson, that President Taft had commuted his sentence. It was uttered in a weak voice which car ried no elation for the bed ridden bank CT realized that no mortal authority could release him from the clutches or incurable disease.
 Warden Mover, who has been Morse's iailer at the federal penitentiary since January 8, 1910. hurried to the post hos 1ital as soon as he received official mo- tification of the Presidents action and formally released Morse. At the same time he turned over to his former pris- oner the sum of $S4 and a number of small trinkets in his possession at the time he surrendered his liberty.
 It was shortly after dusk when Morse heard the good news. No member or ms family was present but his sister Miss Jennie Morse, arrived a few minutes afterwards. Brother and sister were left alone together and what words were expressed between them. spoken or un- spoken. were not the affair of outsid- CTS. From Washington came two joy ous telegrams from Mrs. Morse and the sick financier brightened perceptibly.
 To Be Removed Soon
 Morse will be removed from the post hospital as soon as he is able to stand an ambulance journey to an infirmary within the city. He had anohter bad night with his heart and was not so well today but his physician, pr. A. l.. Fowler, was hopeful tonight that the good news might show favorably in his physical condition. Should he gain

Maloney's Statement


 "rhe newspapers of the last few weeks show whom the enemies of the people consider dangerous They don t bother 10 shoot unless they see it is worth while And any man who dares to attempt to personally attack and be- smirch a character sv above, question as that of Governor Wilson, will be re- piled to with the ignominy and con tempt of silence which such an attack deserves
 Governor Wilson, in his address at the mass meeting, criticised the repub- lican party on the ground that it was too closely allied with the interests" He advocated direct primary nomina- tions even for the United States Senate and even direct election to the presi dency and described the initiative and referendum as gun to be used If con ditions made them necessary.
 Governor Wilson will leave early to- morrow for Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids.
 Speaking on the patriotic function of commerce Governor Wilson failed to comment dn the statement made by .lIenry Wasterson, vke gave out etstate- ,arlent on the hreaRJ between Colonel iqervey and Governor Wilson.
 The principal thought in Governor Wilson's address revolved around dec- laration that i've cannot have trustees ible."
 DO not be duped by writers and men," he said. No individual can in terpret life to you. He may know great many people, but not all the peo- ple."

Efforts FruitIess for Time

Until the past few months all efforts were fruitless and President Taft and the Attorney General refused to consider a pardon or a communication. Recently re- ports from Atlanta indicated that Morses health was precarious and the President caused several investigations to be made, as a result of which the prisoner was transferred from the prison to the Fort McPherson hospital. Last week after further investigation by army and navy physicians, President Taft, through the Attornev General. authorized the transfer of Morse from Fort McPherson to the amy and navy hospital at Hot Springs. Ark. Reports from Atlanta following this announcement declared that Morse could not be taken to Arkansas and friends in iicated that they wished to remove him entirely rom federal supervision and to destroy the depressing mental effect which inc lxnowledge that he was a prisoner had on him. The communication of sentence crowned tEeir efforts.

Veterans Club to Continue

'"rhe Veterans clubs are to continue in accordance with their bylaws, as benevo- lent and patriotic institutions, in no way departing from the purposes designed in their constitutions. was also pledged that this agreement would be promptly submitted to the general council of vet erans for legal reetifcation.
 'Trhe president is greatly gratihed at these declarations, which he expected. in view of the ardent love for the country which has ever inspired the liberators ot Cuba"
 While a definite policy doubtless will be subject of more conferences, the ad- hesion of the veterans to the admnistra- ton apparently relieves all possibilities of disastrous discord. Probably the hrst move will be presentation in Congress to- morrow of bill resembling the annul'- ment. of the civil service law and re- affirming the equal rights of all Cubans to hold office.

Crisis Has Passed

Havana. January 1S.-With the assur- ance made tonight to President Gomez by leaders of the veteran movement that agitation would cease and the veterans would Loyalty support the administration in removing the faintest excuse for Amer iean intervention, there appears 10 be no doubt that the crisis In Cuban af- fairs has been successfully passed. The conference of the president with the prominent men of all factions all night, which, 1t was believed, was held to de- fine policy of amicable accord and of agreeing to the terms of the reply to Secretary Knox's note of warning, proved merely to be an exchange of views, no defined policy being formulated

One Discordant Note

But while the necessity of union and cooperation was recognized on all sides. there was one dlscordant note in the attitude of the leaders of the veterans. who seemed reluctant to surrender the fruits of their heretofore triumphant cam paign and were disposed to insist upon the constitutional rights of the officers oi the army and rural guards to take part in the movement.
 That this opposition has completely surrendered it's position is indicated by the following official memorandum issued tonight from the palace, after long conference between the president and General Nunez and Colonel Coronado, editor of Discussion, representing the vel rans:
 General Nunez and Colonel Coronado conferred with the president. Existing throughout the conference was a spirit OF the utmost cordiality and patriotism. Both veterans declared that it would be their foremost effort to restore conf- denee throughout the republic and re- move the slightest pretext that might en- danger the independence of the coun- try They were fully resolved to put an end to the present veteranista campaign s) as to remove any cause of unrest with which purpose they would issue imper- ative direction 10 all veterans to cease their activities in the sense referred to.

Action Taken on RecOm- mendation of Attorney
 General Wickersham
MORSE CANNOT LIVE
 OVER SIX MONTHS
Communication of Sentence Does Not Restore Civil Rights of Banker Mrs. Morse Will Join Her
 Husband Immediately

Taft tonight commuted to expire i'm mediately the 15-year sentence for vio- lation of the national banking laws under which Charles w. Morse, New York banker and ice king" served two years in the federal prison at Att lanta. Ga. The communication of sen- tence which gives Morse his complete freedom-but which, unlike a pardon, does not restore his civil rights-was granted upon recommendation of At torney General Wickersham and Sur geon General Torney, U. s. A. Accord ing to the surgeon generals report to the President on his condition, Morse could not live one month longer in con finement. and even at liberty probably would not live six months.
 White House Statement
 The White House statement granting freedom to Morse follows:
 "The President this afternoon com muted the sentence of Charles w. Morse to expire at once. This action was taken upon the recommendation of the Attorney General, based on his report of Surgeon General Torney.
 CA careful review of these reports makes it clear to my mind that he is suffering from a combination of dis- cases, due to degenerate changes which are incurable and progressive The report shows that both the condi- tion of the kidney and the heart are growing worse. I regard the attack ol cardiac dyspnoea, or heart block, f,1 1.t,, ..rI,f l, nfr1er o1l the 18th instant as an ominous oc- cufence. In my opinion the prisoners duration of life will be in all proba- bility less than one month if kept in confinement, and in the event of his release under communication of sentence it is not probable that he will live as long as six months
 Mrs. Morse to Join Husband
 Mrs Morse, who arrived here from New York, was informed late this aft ernoon of the Presidents clemency 10 left today for Atlanta to join her hua- band
 The Attorney General immediately following the Presidents action, tele- graphed to Warden Mover of the At lanta prison, who technically was in charge of Morse, even though he had been removed to the Fort McPherson hospital, to release the prisoner.
 The army surgeons at Fort McPher- son were similarly instructed Morse will be freed by the telegraphic orders, it being unnecessary for the Atlanta authorities to await the formal war rant of communication, which will be sent by mail.
 All efforts made for complete pardon were unavaiing and under the law Morse could not be paroled until he had served five years. Recent efforts in his behalf developed the fact that his friends wished to take him to Carlsbad for treat ment and tonight 1t was thought proha- ble that he would be taken abroad at once.
 The communication of Morses sentence came at the end of most untiring efforts of Mrs. Morse, who has worked continu- ously for fis release. Mrs Morse in per son conducted campaign among sena- tors and members of the House of Repre- sentatives and obtained scores of sigma lures of prominent men to petition she r.tt1fe hhh
