DEPARTMENT Of
JUSTICE REPORTS
Division Of Investigation Puts Com.
mercial National Case Up to
District Attorney.
PROSECUTION SEEMS LIKELY

The Division of investigations Of the
Department of Justice has fled with the
ONCE Of the United States Attorney Q
bezzlement perpetrated upon the old Ma
tional City Bank and the Commercial
National Bank by a former teller at the
two institutions.
This fact was announced last night by
one Of the officials OF the division. II
is a practice of the department to In
with national banks. Consequently. when
II was learned that forgeries to the ex-
tent Of nearly $4,000 had been committed
at the Commercial Bank. an investigation
was instituted at once.
The facts in the case were obtained
with all the details, and were submitted
to the United States Attorneys ONCE.
This was some time ago. prior to the
beginning Of publicity in connection with
the affair. The submttal OF the report is
as much as the Department Of Justice
intends to do at present.
Up to District Attorney.
The question is now before the United
States Attorney for disposition. Mr.. VIII
son. the attorney. is at present abroad.
Reginald s. Huidekoper. assistant United
States Attorney, is in charge Of the Of
fee. Mr.. Huidekoper does not deny that
prosecution OF the young clerk Is under
serious consideration. He would not dis
cuss the situation yesterday. but inti-
mated that action will be taken sooner
or later by the ofice.
Even though an agreeable settlement
should be reached between the bonding
companies. which went the surety OF
the teller and the parents OF the young
man with respect TO the reimbursement
of the $4,000. prosecution would still re-
main probable. officials OF the three
bonding companies refused yesterday
afternoon to talk OF the matter.
No Desire to Prosecute.
There is no desire on the part OF the
bank officials or the bonding company
officials. as far as is known. to prosecute
the young teller. but the United States
Attorneys Office is OF the belief that
wrongdoing should be punished regard
less Of whether after exposure of guilt
restitution is or is not made.
The banker and broker whose business
house is said to have executed orders
on the New York Exchange for the young
man is still out Of the city. He is ex-
pected to return to-day. Rumors are
to the effect that the broker at the time
of the peculations was a director Of the
National City Bank, at which the teller
was employed.

COLoRED MEN IG0RNED.
President Appoints S. r. Wright
Collector Of Internal Revenue.

Upon the recommendation Of Senator
Johnston and several members Of the
Alabama delegation in Congress, Presi-
dent Taft sent to the Senate yesterday
the nomination of Sim T. Wright to be
Collector OF Internal Revenue for the
District Of Alabama. Mr.. Wright, who is
a prominent lawyer Of Birmingham, will
succeed Joseph o. Thompson. q Bull
Moose leader OF Alabama, who was re-
moved from Office by the President.
Thompson's predecessor was likewise re-
moved from office by former President
Roosevelt several years ago for ''politi-
cal expediency."
Considerable pressure was brought to
bear upon the President by negroes Of
Alabama to appoint a member Of their
race to this Office. The negroes aade a
determined fight for this plum, several
members of the Taft delegations to the
Chicago Convention from Alabama and
A number OF them were es-
corted to the White House Monday by

the President to appoint their candidate.
in recognition OF the loyalty to him and
the Republican party Of the Alabama ne
groes. Senator Johnston had anticipated
this action, however, and reached the
Presidents office a few minutes ahead of
the negroes. He urged the appointment
Of Wright, and informed the President
that both he and Senator Bankhead
would oppose the nomination Of a negro,
II laid before them. This argument won.

fed the police chief OF every city In the

Recognizes Old Crook.
From the information forwarded by
Maj Sylvester. Chief OF Police Felix
O'Neill. OF Denver. recognized In Morse
an old and clever crook, with a long rec
ord ONeill took a photograph from
the Denver rogues' gallery and forwarded
IL TO Washington. Members OF the Boss
& Phelps concern looked at the photo
graph. and said: That is a good picture
OF Morse"
Now that We know who Morse really
is, his capture will be comparatively SIM
ple." say the police. Circulars. bearing
a photograph OF Morse. with his Bertillon
measurements, criminal record, and a
history of his swindle in Washington, are
now being prepared by the Washington
police. and soon will be in the hands
Of the police throughout this country and
foreign nations.
Morse has always employed bogus
drafts for swindling. and he has always
gambled with the law for high stakes.
In 1910. Morse swIndled banks in Denver
Of $1,000 by bogus drafts. but he was
caught before he could leave the city.
When arrested he had nearly all OF the
cash sewed in a belt around his waist.
He was sentenced to five TO seven years
in prison at Canon City. Col. but es-
capped while working with a road gang
Appears in Seattle.
Morse next appeared in Seattle, wash,
where he procured 5000 from banks on
bogus drafts. He was caught In Tacoma.
Wash, and nearly all OF the stolen money
was found In a belt around his waist.
The escaped convict was returned 10 the
Canon City penitentiary, and 1t was un-
derstood that when he completed his
first term he was to be tried for his
swindlipgs in Seattle.
For some reason, which the police OF
this city have not learned. Morse was
paroled on April L. At one time he was
in the coal business In Oklahoma City.
While operating Morse sometimes wore
ecclesiastical garb. On other occa sions
he pretended TO be a prosperous Southern
planter. Although the police are now IN
possession OF information showing that
Morse at different times has procured an
aggregate OF nearly $4,000 by means or
bogus checks. they say his complete rec
ord will more than likely show his op-
erations have been many times more eX-
tensive.
