SON OF MORSE
MAKES DENIAL
SAYS NJ OTRUTH IN REPORT THAT
HIS FATHER WILL
ENTER BUSINESS.

New York, Feb. 9.-"My father has
never said word-not even my
methor-about going into business
again. Stories that he is planning re-
venge upon those who fought him in
the financial world are ridiculous. He
is too sick man for anything like
that"
This was the statement given out
today by Harry Morse, son of the
banker who arrived here from Allan
ia Yesterday, broken in health after
his stay in federal prison.
Not a word could be obtained to-
day at the apartments in West Fifty
eighth street where Charles w. Morse
is recuperating preparatory to triT
to Bad Nauheim, Germany.
Reports were current that Morse
would sail away tomorrow, perhaps
on The Oceanic, having decided that
it was best to start for Europe al
once, instead of remaining here fol
week or ten days, as he at first pro
posel. Whether this report has any
foundation could not be determined.

suited.

Eight shad fishermen arrested for
violating the state game and fish laws,
d near-duel between a Glynn county
deputy warden and the fishermen. and
1he arrest of the warden for pulling
Ais pistol were the results yesterday
of raid made ON shad fishermen in
the Altamaha river near Darien by
II. W. Manning, a deputy warden of
this county.
Full particulars of the difficulty
have not yet been received in the
eity and the names of the men ar

den was placed under arrest in Darien
he 'phCned County Warden Golden,
who later communicated with the
sheriff of Mcintosh county, but he
vas not able to get full particulars
Of the affair and further investiga-
tion will be made today.
In just what way the fishermen vio-
sated the law is not known; it could
not, however, been for catching the
fish out of season, as it is lawful to
catch shad in Georgia from January
I to April 20, except for forty-eight
aours each week, beginning at sun
sise on Saturday and extending to
sunrise on Monday There are other
features of the law, however. which
may have been violated. The law on
shad fishing is as follows:
IF any person shall use nets,
seines or other contrivances covering,
extending to, or obstructing more than
one half of the stream, for catching
or taking shad in any of the streams
of the state, he shah be guilty of a
.nisdemeanor.

the rivers in which shad are caught,
of forty eight hours; commencing at
sunrise on Saturday morning of each
week, and ending at sunrise on Mon
day morning of the next week, during
which closed time no shad or other
migratory fish shall be caught by nets,
wires, pounds, or any other means
whatever; neither shall such nets,
wires, pounds or other apparatus be
left in said rivers during said closed
time The meshes of nets or other
apparatus for catching said fish shall
not be less than five inches.
mo shad shall be taken, except be-
1ween the first day of January and
the twentieth day of April of each
year, except for spawning purposes,
to carry out the provisions of the law
for propagating fish,
1t is understood Deputy Manning
was authorized to investigate shad
fishing in the nearby fresh water
streams, it being alleged that the
laws were being violated. He was
in the vicinity of Darien Yesterday,
and when he attempted to arrest the
eight fishermen, they resisted, and it
is stated, showed fight, whereupon he
pulled his revolver Later they had
him arrested.
Just what will be the result of the
case is not known. State Fish and
Game Commissioner Mercer is in the
