Mrs. Morse SWOOns
With Joy When News
Of Pardon Reaches Her

Just I'VE minutes before o'clock last
night, President Taft directed the White
House telephone operator to get Mrs
Charles w. Morse on the telephone.
NO sooner had the word been passed
than telephone bells were ringing wild.
~. Mrs. Morse was located at the Con.
gress Hall Hotel, but at the minute shs
was talking in booth to a friend in
The downtown telephone operato,
broke in upon Mrs. Morse. however
with the message that the White House
wanted her and that the call was ur.
gent: Like flash. Mrs. Morse dropped
1ms pho1e ie receiver eiS she was holding and
Then came came 2 voice from the other end
OF the line. rs this Mrs. Morse. Mrs
Charles w. Morse? Well. this is the
White House speaking.
y am directed by. the President to
INFORM you,' the voice went on saying,
that he has just signed the warrant
which commutes the sentence Of Your
husband, now In Jail at Atlanta. Ga.''
Swoons With Joy.
Despite the fact that Mrs. Morse
was expecting the glad news, and re-
gardless Of the assurances which the
White House had been holding out to
her all day. she fell against the sides
OF the booth overcome with Joy. She
could hardly grasp It ALL
In minute, however, the tireless
three years for the release of her hns-
band recovered herself. She urged tho
telephone operator OF the White House
to express her gratitude to the Presi-
dent, to the Attorney General. to the
surgeon general, to each ard every one
who had any part, large or small, in
obtaining the release Of her husband
Giving herself time to comprehend
what It all meant. Mrs, Morse finally
radiant. She told everybody she met
that Mr.. Morse had teen given his free
dom. She stopped peorle whom She
had never seen before to tell them of
her Joy over winning the battle she
has waged.
Hurriedly Packs Up.
Then came the feversh efforts to get
her things packed. and to get to the
train which was to take her to Atlanta.
At 10 o'clock she was Off. and bearing
with her the papers which will finally
remove the oppression from the mind Of
the sick man.
Delayed Action.
President Taft did not commute the
sentence Of Morse until he had become
fully convinced that there was no pos
sible hope for him. The signing of the
warrant came late yesterday afternoon,
when Attorney General W1ckersham
called at the White House and had a
long talk with the President.
Earlier in the day the Communication
had been practically decided upon Par
don Attorney Finch had called at the
Executive Offices with "a warrant for
Morses release made out and ready for
the Presidents signature. Not satisfied.
however, to act Immediately, the Presi.
dent put of the act itself fNuntil the last
thing he did during the day.
At 6:45 o'clock the word was passed
out at the White House that a state
ment on Morse would be issued in a few
more minutes. In less than half an hour
thereafter the statement was issued
giving the Presidents reasons for com.
muting the bankers sentence, to expire
Immediately.

Death Deeply DeDlored.

Seneca, Sept. Especial: The
death of Miss Jeanette Holland.
which occurred here on the morning
or the 2lst OF August, caused deem
sorrow to a large circle Of friends.
Whlle 1T was known that she had
been quite sick, her condition had
greatly improved, and her friends
and loved ones had every reason to
expect recovery. The nee
of her death, therefore, came as a
shock. This death was peculiarly
sad, as she was just entering upon
young ~womanhood. Having the past
spring been graduated from the
School of kindergarten in Atlanta,
a life of usefulness was opening up
before her, but in the zenith of young
girlhood this beautiful Christian
character was taken from a life of
usefulness here to n Of greater SER
vice above. Funeral services were
held from the residence and were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. NJ. r.
Kirkpatrick. The %pallbearers (ac-
tive) were six Of her friends among
the young men, and six Of her young
"ir' friends acted as honorary escort.
'nterm@nt was rN1NC in jhc family
plot al Mountain %icOY cemetery. Tho
nora 0ltCriugS BEING numerous ana
beautiful, rho following r%suMtious
waNa offered AZ the Sult!3V ,4'lot or
the Presbyterian church last Sunday:
Whereas, on August 21st, 1912,
God saw fit to. take from us our be-
loved young friend and .co-worker,
Miss Jeanette Holland, we the mem
bers Of the Seneca Presbyterian Sun
day school, make the following reso-
l%utions:
81. That we do hereby express our
profound sorrow at the loss OF our
friend and the sweet Christian infu-
enre and love which characterized all
her associations with the Sunday
school.
"2. That we are thankful for her
life, with It's sincerity, faithfulness
and loyalty to whatever good work
her hands found to do.
90. That to the bereaved loved
ones we offer our sympathy, and trust
that in their grief they may feel that
God nothing does, O suffers to be
done,
But thou, thyself. woulds't do,
Coulds't thou but see
The end Of all events as well as He."
"a. That a copy of these reso!u-
lions be sent the family and be spread
upon the minute book of our Sunday
school.

the other direction into the erclos-
ure or the track, when the cham
ploh wheel came sliding down the
