Story of Big Fee to Lawyers
Not Believed by Atlanta
Attorneys.

Postcards from Charles ". Morse tc
friends in Atlanta say that the f1nancier
will soon be in New York and on his
feet. To one Atlanta friend he wrote
from the Park hotel in Bad Nauheim
Would be pleased to see you in New
York soon. Am improving continually
Regards from &C. w NJ
According to a common report If
New York, Morse, upon his arriva
there, will put himself in charge of the
Hudson Navigation Company, and at

business world by a grand coup.

attempting at present to obtain dock

Biq Fee Story Not Believed.
The report that Charles w. Morse is
to paw 100000 fee to the legal firm
of Anderson, Fielder, Rountree & Viii
son for securing his release from the
Federal prison is given small credence
by Atlanta lawyers, who think that such
sum is far more than even firm of
such excellent standing would expect
1t is said on good authority that
Morse's fee to the attorneys was about
s26. 900. and this is divided between the
Atlanta firm and that represented by
H M. Dougherty. of Columbus. Ohio,
who was associated with Thomas B.
Fielder in working for Morse's freedom.
The Morse case was not won in the
courts. though the attorneys did secure
a hearing in the Federal court in an ef-
fort to have Morses sentence reduced,
through changing the status of his
crime to a misdemeanor The releas e
of Morse was won through securing the
ear of President Taft and persuading
him to commute Morse's sentence. on
the ground that the prisoner was dying
and could live but a few months, even
if released from the post hospital to
which he had been removed at the
urgent plea of friends and through per
mission of the president The presi-
dent had several times refused to in
terfere in the matter, but at last he
was won over.
Citizenship Not Restored,
Morse was not pardoned, but his SEN
tenCe was Commuted TO present SerV-
ice" He is absolutely free, for there
were no restrictions upon the commu-
tation. but he has never been restored
to citizenship and can not even vote for
the man who set him free. He sailed
for Europe shortly after his release and
it is now reported that he will be back
in Wall street in a few weeks, fighting
~, opo+1,ay fort,1rn
Colonel Fielder refuses to affirm or
deny the report that he and Colonel
Doughertv were to receive 100000 for
their services
"Of course my firm does not work for
it's health" he said Il can state that
they were amply compensated. But it
is not customary in legal practice to
tell the newspapers or any one else the
details of an arrangement between
counsel and client"

That Atlanta business men have been
interested in the fight between Presi-
dent Taft and Colonel Roosevelt for
the Republican nomination has long
been known, but the first definite step
taken by an Atlanta Democrat toward
supporting one or the other was taken
today by Edward H. Walker, well
known real estate man.
Mr.. Walker comes out with an an
nouncement of his intention to form a
southern Roosevelt campaign club and
gives his reasons for supporting the
colonel should he capture the nomina-
ton
This is not the first time MI Walker
has been interested in politics. He ran

CARNEGIE GIVES $4,000.
MiddIebury College Assisted by
the Great PhiIanthropist.

Middlebury College was not forgotten
at Christmas-t time, as the institution
was able to announce the receipt of
check for $1,000 from MIR. Andrew
Carnegie in fufillment of his pledge to
the 5000, 900 Building and Endowment
Fund. Mr.. Carnegie responded to the
appeal of the trustees of the college
when this fund was started by stating
that he would make a subscription of
ten per cent. of the total amount when
the fund was raised in full and eX-
pended for the purposes set forth by the
trustees in their statement. These
conditions were met and the donation of
Mr.. Carnegie followed promptly.
One-half of the total fund will be
reserved for permanent endowment,
thus adding 500, 900 to the resources of
the college, which will yield an annual
income of about $4,000. Only once or
twice before in the history of the
institution has so large an amount been
received at one time.
The chemistry building, now in pro-
cess of construction, will be paid for out
of this fund. Subscriptions to this fund
have already met the expense of erect
ing the gymnasium.
Middlebury College is to be congratu-
lated on receiving the approval of Mr..
Carnegie, who is noted not only as
very generous benefactor, but also as a
very careful and cautious giver He
investigates very thoroughly before he
offers to assist any institution, and he
has fixed some thorough business prin-
ciples to guide him in the selection of
the colleges he helps. His plan is not
to encourage institutions which have no
chance of success nor field of useful
ness. Following upon the approval of
the General Education Board and its
grant of $50, 900, and also the gift of
DR.. d. X. Pearsons, together with the
good standing of the college with the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching, this most recent gift
is distinct encouragement to all friends
of Middlebury College.

The slopes Of the hills above the Poto-
mac between this city and Alexandria are
being covered with suburban homes much
more rapidly than is realized by those
who do not keep closely in touch with the
material development of the city. AL
though this stretch of seven or eight
miles has centers Of population at each
end connected by the rapid and con-
venient trolley service. yet after all the
influence Of an intermediate point is
factor in the upbuilding of this section.
This is seen in the clusters and groups

road and extending to the stretch of the
great freight yards of the Southern rail-
