DRAMATIC SCENE IN STATION

Vict, came back to the scene of his
former triumphs and his conviction,
crUmpled up in wheelchair. silent
and impressive as a lay figure. With
a white-faced wife at his side he was
pushed through the curious throngs
at the Pennsylvania Station, lifted
quickly into taxicab and whisked
away to his home, at 127 West Fifty
eighth street, to remain for week or
ten days before starting for Bad Maui
helm, Germany, where he hopes to re-
cover his health, which physicians say
prison life has chartered.
II Morse felt any emotion at his
homecoming he did not show It. Not
once did he open his lips during the
progress OF the wheel chair from train
to taxicab.
The train from Atlanta, where Morse
served less than two years of his IT,
year sentence, was more than an hour
late. Reporters and photographers by
the score awaited its coming and as 1t
swept into the station at SIS there
was rush to the front exit Of the
Pullman car bearing the Morse party.
Preparations for his detrainment had
been carefully made. A wheel chair
was rolled up with almost automatic
precision and Morse was quickly in
stalled in it.
Then came booming crash and q
burst OF fame. Everybody jumped,
while Morse shrank back into the
chair. A photographer had taken the
first fiashlight of the returning banker.
Mrs Morse looked anxiously at her
husband as the smoke cleared and
pressed close to the chair as it was
wheeled away. Her face was ashen
but she said nothing.
DIR. Fowler said:
Morse has stood the trip remark
ably well. and seems stronger, but
these reports about his rapid restora-
ton to good health are untrue. Morse
cannot live great while. would not
hazard guess as to how long, but the
maladies with which he is afflicted
are incurable." Information was
received here that Morse had no
chance of securing the desired pardon
from President Taft.

.LOR|MER CASE
ENDS At LAST
Committee Closes the Public
Hearings.
INDULGE IN LOVE FEAST
Attorney Hancey Flies Brief 10 the
Effect That Election Had Been
Adjldicated and That Second
Inquiry Was Not Necessary.

Washington Public hearings in the
second senatorial investigation into
the election Of Senator Lorimer were
declared closed by Chairman Dilling-
ham, of the Senate Lorimer Commit
tee. Attorney I'anecy, representing
Senator Lorimer, was given permits
sion to file a brief to the effect that
the Senator's election had been adj
judicatec before the present investi-
gatioi began and therefore that It
could not be the subject O. second
investigation.
The inquiry has proved to be one Of
the most exhaustive ever made by a
congressional committee In the eight
months hearing about 10000 pages Of
printed testimony were taken, con-
stituting about 100000 words. It is
estimated that the stenographers' fees
alone reached SIS, coo.
The closing hour of the hearing was
q veritable love-feast. The attorneys
explained that they had never intend
ed really to display temper and the
committee added that it had not en-
tertained like intentions. M. w.
Blumenberg, the official stenographer,
who was discharged for his conduct
before the committee Saturday night.
wrote a letter of profuse apology,
which was read into the records.
Edward Hines was the last witness
called. He denied he had attempted
to bribe Miss Helen Seavers. local
telegraph operator, to see q message q
private detective in the case had just
sent. After his testimony the COM
mittee decided at an executive session
not to inquire further into an al
legged combination against Senator
Lorimer as result Of the Chicago
River Improvement, or other matters
which the committee deemed. after
hearing witnesses, did not bear upon
the issue.
The early hours of the session were
marked by tests Of the ability Of ]. e.

make shorthand report Of a CONVEX
sation, such as he swore he made
when Charles MCGOWAN was alleged
to have admitted receiving money for

Washington William j. Bryan was
held up to the House as the @evil
genius lowering on the TANKS OF
Democracy by Representative Martin
2. Dies. Of Texas, who spoke in reply
to the Commoner's latest attack upon
the Democratic membership Of the
House.
Democrats and Republicans alike
cheered Mr.. Dies declaration that he
neither feared the power nor respect
ed the judgment" Of the Nebraskan;
and his further announcement that
Democracy, under the leadership Of
Champ Clark and Oscar w. Under
wood, was headed toward complete
success, swept the Democratic side Of
the House into storms Of applause.
Il am almost ready to join Cover
nor Wilson in his desire to find some
decent and orderly manner of knock

Mr.. Dies. amidst roar Of laughter and
applause.

last issue of the Commoner that the

Mr.. Dies declared that If Mr. Bryan

the proposed law would be unconstitu-

Washington. For the purpose Of

to conditions in Central and North
ern South America, Secretary Of State
Knox, by direction Of President Taft,
win make a Ave weeks trip to the
epanish-American epublics bordering
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf Of

Present plans include first visit to
Cuba, Santo Domingo and Haiti, with
q possible side trip to Porto Rico. and
rAaen tour Of Venezuela and Colombia
on the mainland Of South America, af
ter which the Secretary will visit
Panama, Costa RIGA, Nicaragua, Hon
duras, Salvador Guatemala and per-
haps Mexico.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1912-02-16

Az now planned Mr.. Knox will not
visit Mexico, but that country may be
included in the program before he re-
turns during the first week Of April.
In many respects the trip will be
similar to that taken around South
America several years ago by former
Secretary Of State Elihu Root.
The benefits Of the Root trip Ameri-
can diplomats have rated high, and
both the President and Mr.. Knox hope
for similar benefits from the coming
visit, especially since the countries to
which Mr.. Knox will go never have
received calls from American Secre-
taries Of State.
The ofiicial announcement OF the
trip says:
THE relations of the United States
to the Spanish republics surrounding
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf Of
Mexico are Of the utmost Importance
to us in view OF our interests and re-
sponsibilities in that region. The
President thinks 1t will be Of great
assistance In solving the diplomatic
problems that are presenting them
