Anxiety Of Mrs. Morse Held Back
 Husbands Pardon
President Taft Afraid to Act, Though Having Greatest Ad- miration and Pity For This Most Persistent Woman
Especial from United Press )

Washington, Jan. 19-speeding to- ward Atlanta today, impatfently count ing off the hours, is Mrs. Charles w. Morse, wife of the banker whose sen- tence was commuted yesterday by President Taft, and whose tireless fight to secure her husbands freedom gained the admiration and pity of even those who maintained that Morse's 15 year sentence should be fulfilled.
 But, ironically enough, her campaign was not only unsuccessful, but it even had the effect of keeping Morse a fed eral prisoner for perhaps two months longer than otherwise would have been the case.
 The moment Morse was taken to the penitentiary, Mrs. Morse began her campaign to secure his release She secured over 10000 names to a peti- ton for a pardon.
 She appealed to former depositors in the wrecked Morse banks, to whom the broken financier had. paid $7, 900, 900 after he was indicted, ,so that none lost a penny by his failure, and they replied by bulky petitions to President Taft.
 The result was to arouse and main tain national attention in, the case and President Taft feared to move lest he might make a mistake.

 Dudley F. Malone, assistant cor poration counsel of New York city, who introduced the governor, said:
 They say Governor Wilson is an educational theorist and not practical enough. Any man that could handle a gang of highbinders in the Demo cratic party of New Jersey is practi- cal enough for any dirty crowd of politicians anywhere in the country.
 Governor Wilson spent strenuous time in Detroit. making three speech es. He returns to New York, tomor- row.

THIS is THE AGE OF WOMAN
Everywhere She Is Doing Now What
Formerly Was Considered the
Work of Man,

1t may be difficult to tell what is a
woman's age, but unquestionably
this is it. Mems colleges into which
women have made their way have
had to drive them out again in order
to give the men a chance at gradua-
ton honors. From the pulpit and
the bar down to the coal mine and
the iron furnace women are doing
what used to be regarded as mans
work. The literature of the day is
overwhelmingly feminise in it's char
acter and very much of it is the
work of women. Men are being told
things about women that it was not
deemed proper for their fathers to
know, and as for themselves they
are being shown up without remorse.
Within few days illustrations of
the feminise revolution, physically
and intellectually, have become pub
lie. Man is destined to lose even his
physical superiority. The superin-
tendent of a hospital in Boston,
where 5000 babies are born annual
ly, says: I'VE have noticed that girl
babies are getting taller and that
they are appearing in this world
lately with more real vitality than
formerly. The boy babies continue
on the average, both in weight and
height"

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE JANE.
Friend Pays Tribute to Little Girl of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller.

On Tuesday evening, Dec. 18th
1911, the spirit of this little jewel
passed into the arms of the Savior,
into the presence of her little twin
sister, Mary, who preceded her only
few weeks, and into that home
eternal in the heavens. The going
out of this life was very sad. She
was just the brightest, sweetest lit
tie girl of three years; those beauti-
full, dancing brown eyes were al
ways full of fun and mischief, and
she was one who readily drew atten-
ton wherever she went.
Jane had never ceased to miss her
twin sister, who died August 29th.
She daily wished for her, and now
they are two perfect little angels in
heaven. Our little darling was the
very picture of life and health; was
the sunshine and inspiration of that
home; the very JOY of those fond
parents; therefore, we understand
their great sorrow and sympathize
as best we know. They, too, as
Christ, are passing through Geth-
semane, and we sooner or later must
go that way.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox writes in her
poem on Gethsemane, God pity
those who cannot say, not mine, but
thine; who only pray, Let this cup
pass and cannot see the purpose in
Gethsemane.
We realize deep sorrow draws us
nearer the cross; we will not muir
muir, but rather kiss the nail-scarred
hand which holds the rod of Attic
ton and say, Thy will be done"
AS a little flower cometh,
Pure and sweet with fragrance
rare,
With it's little petals ready
To unfold its beauty fair
How we love to watch this blossom,
And we pray Gods tender care
That no cloud will blight it's beauty,
But the sun will keep it fair.
But, alas! we see it fading;
Soon it drops it's little head,
And our hearts are almost broken
From the grief its absence made
But the SayiouS comes to soothe us,
Gently bids us dry our tears;
And we know our treasures planted
Where twill be amid no tears.

Joshua Levering Tells DIR. Barton
That Nebraskan Will Force Issue
at Baltimore Convention.
That William Jennings Bryan will
lead a fight for the Incorporation of
a prohibition plank in the democratic
platform at the Baltimore convention
is the information that has been been
received by DR.. A. j. Barton, secre-
tary of the Texas Baptist Education
Board, who has just returned from
a conference at Hot Springs, Ark.
His informant was Hon. Johsua
lowering, wealthy coffee importer of
Baltimore and candidate for presi-
dent on the prohibition ticket in
1896.
DR.. Barton was attending a con-
ference between Baptists of the
North and South at Hot Springs on
cooperation between the two inter
ests in the propagation of mission
work on the border lines between the
two sections. Mr.. Levering was a
member of the Southern committee
and he informed DR.. Barton that the
Nebraskan was preparing to take the
lead in fight for prohibition at the
next gathering of the national dem
ocracy. Mr.. Barton expressed delight
at the announcement and said he be-
lieved that if the democrats an
nounced for prohibition they would
sweep the country in November.

PATIENTS WERE STARVED
TRIAL ENDS IN THE CONVICTION
OF SANITARIUM OWNER.
The Starvation Treatment for HUI
man Ailments Caused Num-
her of Deaths.


The sensational Hazard case at
Port Orchard, Wash, ended with the
conviction of Mrs. Lima Burrford
Hazard of manslaughter. The YER
dict carries an indeterminate SEN
tence of one to twenty years.
The case was an unusual one. Mrs.
Hazard operates a sanitarium at
Olalla, Wash. The patients are given
the starvation treatment, and if re-
ports are to be credited a number of
patients there have been starved to
death.
A year or so ago two sisters, Claire
and Dorothea Williamson, English
women of Australia, each having a
fortune of about $250,0O0, went to
the Hazard sanitarium, the purpose
being to have Claire treated for
minor stomach trouble.
1t seems that by some means or
other both sisters were induced to
take the treatment, and it is alleged
that Claire was literally starved to
death and that Dorothea barely es-
capped with her life. 1t would natur-
ally be supposed that being women of
sense and experience, since they had
traV6l6Q a SOOQ zeal ABOUT tuS WOIIu,
they would have left the sanitarium
when they realized that they were
being starved. 1t is alleged, how
ever, that Mrs. Hazard eXerted some
sort of hypnotic influence over them,
so they lacked the will power to
abandon the treatment and leave the
place Their diet, it is said, consisted
of orange juice and asparagus broth.
And it appears that Mrs. Hazard
succeeded in getting possession of
considerable money belonging to
Claire, the sister that died, and that
efforts were made to have Mrs. Haz-
Yards husband made guardian of
Dorothea 1t is probably because of
the money feature of the case that
verdict was rendered against Mrs.
Hazard 1t looked a little as if she
had starved the sisters hoping in
some way to get at least part of
their fortunes. 1t is a curious case,
and is calculated to influence people
against sauitariums where the star
walton treatment prevails.
