HEATED PERSONAL ARGUMENT
BETWEEN EDITOR sEELEY AND
WARDEN OF PENITENTIARY RE-
VEALs HOW MORSE MADE
$4,000 WHILE IN PRISON AND
OFFERED TO DIVIDE PROFITS
WITH THE WARDEN.
BY Associated Press.

Atlanta. Jan. "A heated personal
argument between Editor F. L. Seeley,
of the Atlanta Georgian, and Warden
William H. Meyer, of the federal
prison here in the warden's Office to-
day. resulted in the disclosure that
Charles W. Morse, the banker con-
victed, had made $4,000 in the spring
OF 1910 by selling short on gas stock,
because the warden allowed him TO
send a cipher telegram. 7
To show his gratitude, or for some
other reason, Meyer said Morse sub
sequently offered him half of the
profits on the deal. 1t is alleged that
the act on the part of Morse so
prejudiced the warden against the ex-
banker, in the opinion Of Editor
Seeley. that he subjected the proni-
nent prisoner to disciplinary treat
ment, characterized by the editor as
"reprehensible."
Editor Seeley recently printed a
story in his paper limiting at a con-
gressional investigation into Nnrse's
treatment in the prison and citing an
instance in which it is alleged Morse
was placed in solitary confinement in
a dungeon for giving a sick boy about
to be discharged a small sum OF
r,oney. The publication so incensed
the warden that he invited news
paper men to the prison to show them
where Morse was kept and explain the
circumstances. Seeley was the only
one who responded to the invitation.
Seeley said Morse's physician told him
that Morse had to sleep on hard iron
Stats with only coat for covering.
! This was denied by the warden, who
said Morse had a mattress and
| blanket.
| Moyer explained why Morse was
put in solitary confinement for several
| days. He said it was because the
| prisoner gave an unsatisfactory eX-
| planation of how a small sum Of
money came into his possession,

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 2.-That United
States Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette
should withdraw from the race for the
Republican nomination for the prest-
dency in 1912 in favor of either former
President Roosevelt or former Senator
Albert j. Beveridge was advocated
here today in a speech prepared by
Gov. Chase S. Osborne of Michigan, for
delivery when Senator La Toilette was
scheduled to arrive today in Lansing.
On account of taking the wrong
train, Senator La Toilette did not reach
here at the time appointed and instead
of expressing these sentiments in a
speech introducing the senator, Gov
ernor Osborne gave out his speech as
a, formal statement. 1t created a SEN
sation among La Follettes followers.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2.--W lillian
]. Burns arrived here today to TESTIFY
before the federal grand jury in what
is considered to be the final lap in the
governments investigation of the al
legged dynamiting conspiracy from
which scores of explosions are sup
posed to have resulted throughout the
country in recent years.
Asked as to the rewards which were
offered in California for the arrest and
conviction of persons perpetrating the
Los Angeles Times disaster, Burns eX-
pressed the belief that he would collect
upwards of $4,000. This sum, he
added, however, he intended to divide
among the many assistants who helped
him run down the McNamaras.
AS to the reward of $500 offered
by Olaf A. Tveitmoe. secretary treas
urer of the State Building Trades Coun-
Gil at the time of the Los Angeles
Times explosion and withdrawn when
the McNamaras were arrested, Burns
said he was quite confident that the
California labor leader would pay the
reward without any trouble.
