with his gaining control of the ice
business in Maine in the late Sos and
continued through his practical do
mination of the ice situation in this
section in latter years, eliminated
about the time of the financial panic
of 1907. He was then in control of
upwards of dozen banks, of steam
ship companies operating nearly 100
vessels and was a dominating intlu
ence in score of corporations.
1t was as vice president of the Ma
tional Bank of North America that
Morse was convicted of the crime
which sent him TO Atlanta. 1t involved
financial operations alleged to have
been carried on for some time before

ed with being guilty of misapplication
of the funds of the bank and with
making false entries in the books of
the institution.
He was found guilty after trial
that lasted from Oct Is to Nov. ;,
1908 and was sentenced by United

Teheran. Jan. 1S.-Since the de-
parture of the former treasurer gen.
eral w. Morgan Shuster. the cabr ct s
communications to the American otfl-
Gals appear to have become increas-
ingly procative and insulting in tone.
1t is generally believed that the in
tention of the cabinet is to induce the
Americans voluntarily to abandon
their contracts, since the British and
Russian governments do not desire
their continuance in the Persian ser
vice and Persia does not desire to pay
compensation in case of breach of
contract
The foreign minister has sent a
scathing reprimand to f. f. Cairns

ury department for entering into di-
rect communication with the British
Russian and American legations re-
garding previous government de-
