TROUBLE Will DEVELOP AT CONFERENCE;
FOREIGN LEGATIONS ARE IN GREAT FEAR
TAFT RELEASES
BANKER MORSE
COMMITTED BECAUSE
OF PRISONERS CRITICAL
HEALTH CONDITION.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 20
President Taft has eommuted, to
expire Immediately, the 15-year SEN
tence for violation of national bank
ing laws under which Charles w.
Morse. New York banker, and
"ice king" served two years in
the federal prison at Atlanta, Ca
The commutation gives Morse his
freedom, but does not restore his
.ivil rights.
According to the surgeon gem
erals report, Morse could not live
a month longer in confinement, and
even in liberty probably he will
not live six months The report
shows he is suffering from a com
bination of diseases due to degen-
erative changes which are incurable
and progressive,
The attorney general telegraphed
Warden Mercer, who is technically
in charge of Morse, though trans
ferred to Fort Mcpherson hospital
to release the prisoner. Efforts
for a complete pardon were un-
availlng, as under the law Morse
could not be paroled until he had
served five years. Under the com
mutation he will be allowed tC
leave the hospital at once. Recon
effort in his behalf developed thai
his friends wished to take him tC
Carlsbad for treatment.
The commutation came at th'
end of months of unremitting eff
fort on the part of Mrs. Morse
Almost since the day the door of
cell closed on him his wife, an
influential friends besieged the de
partment of justice, and the Whit
House. for mitigation of the sen
tence

TRIPoLI, Jan. 20.-A terrible
attack was made yesterday by a
large body of Turks and Arabs on
an Italian column which was on
the march about ten miles from
the town of Tripoli.
The Italian troops, which consist
ed of detachments of all arms. left
Tripoli early in the morning on
the way to Ghirgarish, small
oasis situated about ten or eleven
miles along the coast to the west
of the town and surrounded by a
number of mud forts which hither-
to had given shelter to Arab regu-
lars.
Suddenly, as the soldiers were
marching along the road, which
runs parallel to the coast, they
were attacked by a large force OF
Turks and Arabs. The Italians i'm.
mediately took up position and
threw up field entrenchments. The
enemy continued its attack through
out the day but finally retired.

PEKING, Jan. 2O.-The foreign
legations are preparing for trouble
in Peking. The question of abdi-
cation Of the throne will be dis
enssed By the empress dowager

guarded by the premier's own men,
Of whom it is said there are $500
Many Chinese who have not yet de-

that in event of massacre they
will not be found.

them, are attracting the attention
Of foreigners as well as of Man

tionists long have been saying that
he has been working for the over

dynasty. But it has been thought
that this charge was designed to
discredit the premier with the Man
chus. Others accuse Yuan OF work

he intended to become dictator II he
did not assume the throne.
