How Han or Millions Fell.

silent Charlie they used to call Morse up in Bath, Me. where he grew up. While other people were taking young Morse was figuring cut q way to make a dollar, folks said. He was the son of Maine tugboat captain. After leaving col- Iege he entered his fathers busi- ness, which at that time was cut ting and selling ice. Soon he went to New York, where, by dlnt of much industry, devious ways and the assistance of Tammany Hall, he organized an ice trust, which, by the summer of 1901, was able tC boost the price of ice to such ar extent that the people of the slum: spent their time burying babies.
 The wise men of Wall street were trimmed by Morse in his manipulation of the New York ice trust. Schwab, Gates and Guggen- helm were among the victims. He grew bolder and consolidated At lantic steamship lines. Then the panic of 1907 upset the country Morse's 9 millions disappeared with 7A millions he didn't have His control of a chain of seven banks was useless to save him from bankruptcy.
 In the crash he fled to England Cables from his attorney brought him back to fight his creditors. He lost, and the government brought criminal charges that resulted in the i5-year sentence. The testi- mony showed that he had lent si00,000 week to his offlce boy The dummy gave worthless ice stock to Morses bank, the National Bank of North America, as secur- ity.

THE FOOL-PROOF
 FLYING MACHINE
Wright Brothers Have Added a Balancing Apparatus Which It Is Said Will Make Flying
 Safe for Anybody.

New York, Jan. iS.-l'he Wright brothers have made the aeroplane fool proof" The device with which an aviator can fly without concerning himself in the least about turning a somersault in his aeroplane has been practically per- fected and demonstrated al Dayton. A, l.. Welch, one of the pioneer Wright fliers, announced yesterday at the Manhattan hotel that he had flown a craft equipped with the de- vice recently for more than half an hour in stifT wind with complete success.
 It was in order to perfect this automatic stability device that the Wrights conducted their experi- ments at Kitty Hawk, N Y, last fall. The completion of the de- vice means that any man can step in a flying machine and pilot fl through the air with as much ease as he can pilot a motor boat.
 The balancing skill, which has hitherto made good aviators so rare and has made flying so dangerous is no longer necessary with the aid of this device.
 The device is so small that il scarcely can be detected, even by those who are familiar with aero planes. It consists of a small stee bar weighing less than four ounces which hangs as a pendulum from an arm which projects from under the operators seat. This pendu- lum is set so delicately that it re- spends to the slightest deviation ot the aeroplane from the horizontal If the craft is thrown from it's balance only the fraction of ar inch the movement of the pendu- lum causes two small valves tC open, which make either a minia- ture tank of compressed air of the compression from the engine force a piston back and forth, which communicates with the warpinl levers and distorts the ends of the lplanes so as to throw the craft back to a horizontal position. The device causes the levers to do what has hitherto been done by the hand ot the operator.
