No argument presented 10 Dr. Fowler
availed to gain consent for any interview
with Morse during the trip up from At

possible re-cntry into New York business
affairs was prepared by the reporters
and handed TO him by Dr.. Fowler. Ac-
cording to DR.. Fowler he looked over the
questions slowly, didn't answer TO the
extent OF a syllable. but smiled broadly
at the first one. which read: do YOU

Morse gave only broad smile by way Of
response.

Says Morse Walked Briskly.

One Of tho passengers who was In the
same car with the Morse party said In
Washington that late on Wednesday
night, after every one else had retired, he
saw Morse come out Of his stateroom for
a few minutes and walk briskly up and
down in the narrow corridor which runs
around the room at one end OF the car.
Or. Fowler, when he was Informed Of
this, asserted that it was impossible.
When the train reached New York,
however, Morse demonstrated his ability
TO walk unassisted from the stateroom TO
the wheel chair waiting on the platform,
and again at the house in 5Sth street
when he took the few steps from the
taxicab TO the doorway at a decidedly
brisk pace
At Washington the Pullman conductor
at first informed prospective passengers
who seemed TO be newspaper men that
he had no seats for sale in the car in
which the Morse party had taken the
statcroom. Later he changed that state
ment and sold seats in the car.
Or. Fowler announced for Mrs. Morse
that it was her intention 10 keep Mr..
Morse at the house in 5Sth street until
he seemed TO be strong enough to make
the trip abroad. AS soon as possible she

tions which Mr. Morse has.
After the arrival at the house Mrs.
Morse said that her husband had stood
the long trip well and seemed to be
much better than she expected he would
be after such long journey. DR.. Fowler
confirmed her brief statement and added
that he expected 10 spend the night at
the Morse home TO watch for any reac-
tion after the trip. The doctor added
that he expected TO stay only until Mr..
Morse communicated with his New York
physicians. one of whom will proba bly,
accompany him on the trip abroad.
Still Has Civic Rights.
Henry A. Wise, United States At
tornev. said yesterday that Mr.. Morse
has not lost any of his civic rights. He
nointed out that his conviction was oh
tanned prior TO January l, 1910 when
nalfeasance in office by an officer of a
national bank constituted misde-
meanor only, although IT was punishable
bv not less than five and not more than
ten years imprisonment, and conviction
for misdemeanor does not deprive OF
civic rights.
The released banker. therefore, may
engage in business without interference
by the United States government though
Il is understood among government Off
cials that any attempt on his part to
enter the management of national
bank would not be tolerated by the Con-
trolIcr of the Currency
