looks to them to secure the protection OF

HERE TO SEE TAFT
II. B. Fielder Hopes to Obtain a
Pardon for Morse.
SAYS HE is NEAR DEATH
Bankers Attorney Has Physicians
Reports as Proof.
CALLS ON MR.. WICKERSHAM
Tells Attorney General Confinement
for Another Week Will Be
Fatal to Prisoner.

I. b. Fielder of Atlanta, Ga. attorney
| for Charles w. Morse convicted New
York banker, whose pardon from the
Atlanta federal penitentiary was de-
MED recently by the President on the
report on his physical condition by the
army board of surgeons, arrived in
Washington early this morning to call
upon the Attorney General and Presi-
dent Taft in Morse's behalf.
Mr.. Fielder visited Attorney General
Wickersham today at the Department
of Justice for the purpose of making
arrangements to have an interview with
the President some time today at the
White House.
To Star reporter Mr. Fielder said the
latest report regarding Mr.. Morse's con-
dition shows there is absolutely no chance
for his recovery, that he is the victim OF
three incurable diseases.
This report. coming from DR.. A. l..
Fowler. a professor at the Atlanta Col
ege of Physicians and Surgeons. who was
selected by Attorney General Wickersham
- attend he prisoner in conjunction with
the prison physician, Mr. Fielder present
ed to the Attorney General today He
plans later to show the same report to
President Taft. and upon it attemp+ to
have the prisoner removed altogether
from his surroundings or pardoned in the
Further Confinement Fatal.
DIR. Fowler, In his report made Janu-
airy J to Mr.. Fielder, states it is impos-
sible for Mr.. Morse to recover from the
three diseases to which he is victim.
Since his removal from the prison cell
to the prison hospital at Fort McPher-
son, says Dr., Fowler. his condition has
been such that the physicians can save
him from dying Immediately, but that if
Morse is sent back to prison he cannot
live another week. AS DIR. Fowler was
selected by the Department of Justice as
an expert, his opinion will have much in
fluence upon President Taft, Mr.. FEEDER
hopes.
"The report of DR.. Fowler corrobo-
rates the report Of the army surgeons
who examined Mr.. Morse. Mr.. Fielder
said. They reported that Mr.. Morse was
in no immediate danger of dying, but
that if left in confinement death would
be a matter of but short time.
The result of Mr.. Felder's interview
with the Attorney General was not
announced. The former said he could
not tell exactly what time President
Taft would see him.
According to his physicians reports,
Morse is afflicted with Bright's dis
ease artero sclerosis and valyular
trouble of the heart.

COMPRESS AIDS FARMERS.

Indicating the general interest
in diversified farming, is the atti-
tude Of the Itta Bena Compress
Company, which has a magniii-
cent plant at Itta Bena, in LefIarc
county. II has employed a man
ager, and installed a produce de-
partment that will handle any sort
Of farm products, potatoes, corn,
wheat, peanuts, soy beans, cow
peas, hay, molasses, chickens, and
even stock.
The management states that it
has realized the main difficulty in
getting a diversified systemin ag-
riculture has been that Of the
farmers in finding a market for
their product, and they have been
compelled by circumstances large
ly to keep on raising cotton be
cause there was no ready money
market for anything else. Now
they are getting in tOcuh with other
dealers and will be able to handle
anything the farmers of LefIore
county grow and want handled,
and this, too, before the boil wee
vii hits this section as it is bound
to do thjs'year or next.
According to statements Of the
farmers this is the main trouble
in divcrsifying, that is, finding a
market for other crops than cot
ton, and if assured of a steady
market and cash prices, the de-
sertiOns flom all cotton crop
ranks would be startling and the
movement general. Then cotton
would be planted as a side line.
