Efforts for a complete pardon were
unavailing, and under the law Morse

FIVE years Under the commutation he

cent efforts in his behalf developed that
his friends wished to take him TO Carls-

deemed probable here that he would be
taken abroad at once.
The commutation of Morse's sentence
came at the end of months of unremit-

and of the bankers friends. Almost
since the day the doors of his cell
closed on him. Mrs. Morse and inf1uen-

Hostile Influences

1t is believed that 1t will be in the
east and south that Wilson will be af-
fected, particularly by the Harvey and
Watterson Withdrawals.
Added TO the influence hostile to him
will be that of Colonel Hemphill, the
Charlotte (S. c. editor. Watterson
and Hemphill have q. host of friends
in the south who questionably will be
disposed to heed the advice of their
leaders.
Watterson will be here tomorrow to
meet a number of southern democratic
politicians and his advice TO them will
be against the nomination of the school
master.
1t is the assurance Of other men
struggling for the nomination, that
Wilson now can not control two-thirds
of the convention, the proportion nee
essary to nominate. This assurance is
based on the certainty that the poll
ticians of the party will be able TO
command more than a third of the
delegates.
With Wilson stock falling, the hopes
of the other candidates are rising.
Each expects to profit through the dis
integration of the Wilson strength.

PITTSBURG, July ia prisoner in
chains for 20 years with his parents as
jailers, is said to be the experience Of
an insane man who was received as a
patient at the Dixment asylum here
Monday night, from Indiana, Pa.
While the authorities of the asylum
will not divulge the mans name, they
admit he was shipped to them in a
rough pine box, from his home In In
diana county. The patient was accompa-
MED by a county official and physi-
clan.
When removed from the box, it is said,
the man, who was bound with ropes,
was almost exhausted. DR.. II. A. Hutch
inson, superintendent of the asylum, says
the strange appearance of the demented
man made IL almost impossible to tell
his age. His hair and beard we're more
than a foot long; he wore no clothing
and resembled a wild animal more than
a human.
According to the story related to DR..
Hutchinson by the county official and
physician accompanying the patient, the
unknown man has been insane 20 years.
His condition was kept a secret by his
parents, who feared if it became known
their son might be taken away from
them. The father, clinging to the hope

drive away the strikers, was handled
roughly by the crowd, but escaped in

mill were unable to hold the crowd in
check, and a squad of reserves was sent
from police headquarters to dispers'

Nearly every one participating in the
demonstration either wore the emblem
of the Industrial Workers of the World
or a button bearing the likeness Of
Joseph J. Ettor, the imprisoned leader
of the Lawrence strike.
After the demonstration had subsidec
many of the workers in the Butler mil

MUSIC WAR BEGINS
IN NEW YORK THEATERS

NEW YORK, July 16.-As a develop
ment of the strike of theatrical must
clans for higher pay ten New York
theaters will do without orchestras dur
ing the coming season. Many of the
leading road companies will also dis
pense with the services of their own
musicians. A statement issued by the
association of theater managers, which
announced a month ago that it would
not agree to the demands of the musi-
sicians, says:
Travelling musical companies carrying
their own musicians have heretofore car
ried on an average of II men at $S5 a
week, making the cost Of the orchestra
S42O. Now the musical union insists
that no organization carry less than %
musicians whose salaries shall be T5
each per week, which would make the
cost of an orchestra 1875 a week instead
of $40. Under the old scheme the cost

MACON, Ca, July 16.-Although
strict orders were issued early Sun
day morning to every locker club pro-
prietor to remain closed during the
day, the main clubs of the city con-
tinued their usual Sunday and Sunday
night business. The chief of police
learned yesterday that his orders had
been openly violated but made no
charges against the club proprietors.
Many of the club men have openly de-
clared that they could not be closed on
Sundays and anticipated a continuance
of their former regulations. Those who
did close their clubs are making a kick
on the allowance of a certain number
to keep their places open The police
chief claims that he issued the orders
at the instance of Mayor Moore but
really does not believe that they can
be legally enforced. Whether charges
against the Sunday violators will be
made yet remains to be seen, but at
the present, no such action has been
taken.

Ride UP In Lift,

Latest Idea Here

There is a great probability accord
ing to many extremely busy men, that
elevator service in Atlanta may be rev.
olutionized, insofar as the means OF
going down" Is concerned. The pres
emit method of attaining the steenth
floor OF local sIy-scrapers will con-
tinue to be patronized, but means of get
ting back to terra firma quickest may,
in the immediate future, be changed to
a system where the elevator cage viii

that OF carrying passengers up. De-
pend upon them to get down, infinitely
quicker, il this suggestion is followed.
which will result in1 the cages descend
ing empty, save possibly for few OF
the faint hearted, who may not imme-
diately take to this twentieth century
means of tightening transportation
earthward.
1t all came about while a bunch of
these awfully busy men waited at the
elevator shaft en- the 14th hoor or a
large office building. They had sig
nailed down" and at least eleven or
eight seconds had elapsed before the car
arrived at the station. During the in
terval of waiting, one who appeared
most anxious to descend remarked that
he did not see why modern office build
/ lnSS were nOl SQuApRO0 NASAA NANN-
sliding poles such as are seen in hre
houses. That they should extend from
the top floor TO the ground, and open to
all who were so inclined.
The suggestion met with instant APP
provaI from the little coterie, and IT
was instantly decided that at an early
date a committee should visit fire head
quarters and practice on the pole there
with a view to arriving at the adVlsa-
bility of having property owners install
such devices for their benefit, and many
others who they declared would once
and for all adopt the quickest way to
get there" once it's superiority was
demonstrated.
1t is understood that an expert slider

to teach the proper method of descend
ing should the suggestion be taken Sc
riously by the owners. With the limo

making the monuments unsightly. He
wanted some means to get rid of them

getting rid OF the pests. No action was

THEATRICAL PLANS FOR
CHATTANOOGA THIS YEAR

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July I.-Local
theatergoers are anxiously awaiting the
debut of the 1912 season. Last season
the patronage in Chattanooga was bad,
and the class OF amusement offered even
worse. Rumor has it that a different
class of amusements will be offered this
season and upon a different plan.
1t has been stated that high priced
dramas will be almost entirely discarded
in the list Of l9l2-13 attractions as these
plays drew but little patronage last sea-
son, and can not expect to do even as
well this season, in view of the fact
that it is presidential year.
Jake Wells has announced from his
offices in New York city that he is or
ganizing one of the largest high priced
vaudeville circuits ever maintained in the
United States, and it is thought that
Chattanooga viii undoubtedly be includ-
ed in this circuit Weekly changes only
would greatly reduce the expenses of the
production in the elimination of the
greater portions of the transportation
item, while a general reduction in prices
would enable the attractions to draw
good houses throughout the entire six
days stay.
1t is not believed that the Albert thea
ter, which has generally staged the
highest priced shows, viii be opened at
all this fall, only the Bijou and the
Lyric running in addition to the popu-
lar priced vaudeville houses.
The changes here, IT is said, will repre-
sent but local phase of the crusade
which will be waged by the theatrical
managers all over the country to offset
the popularity of the moving picture
shows and to regain the patronage which
these houses have weaned from them.
The local managers of the houses are
still noncommital on the subject, evil
