The Doctors Said He'd Die in
One Year, Win" Says
EX-ICe King.


Charles w Morse. eliminate of the
Atlanta Federal prison, former ice king,
has won his bet with the doctors. They
picked him as a sure loser in his fight
against death, and promised him one
year at the most in which to live
That was one year ago yesterday.
Today he is alive and well in Italy
where he went upon his release from
the prison. And not only that, but he
is happy with it, and exults at the fact
that he has beaten the physicians. The
year has passed, and day on another
year.
President Taft was assured, on evil
dence the most impeccable, that Morse
could not escape his fate; that his death
was inevitable within year under any
circumstance. The president pardoned
him.
But you never can tell.
over in Italy are springs which, while
not promising eternal youth, are said
to be malvelously efficacious. Morse,
with his eye on them, went there, and
it is said that he has so mended his
health as to be able to laugh at the
verdict of the physicians.
dispatch from Rome says that
Morse is tanned and ruddy. 1t says,
too, that he smiles at the bet which he
made.
Fine, thank YOU" he said when ques-
toned as to his health.
81 have beaten the doctors. / can
walk three or four miles with ease, and
am getting better all the time
Having recovered" his health, Morse
will return to America about March l.
The doctors who helped free him are
still certain death has his hand on the
ice king, but-well, you never can tell.

Looks Over Plant
With Expert.

With Mayor C. A, Bading and Com
missioner of Public Works Fred G.
Simmons, of Milwaukee, Mayor Wood =
ward and Chief of Construction Clayton
today went on an inspection of Allan
ta's 100000 sewage disposal plants
Commissioner Simmons is the garb-
age expert whom Mayor Woodward
quoted in his attacks on the $4,000
plant contracted for Atlanta. Milwau-
<ee has a plant built by the same COM
pany, the Destructor Company of New
York. which cost considerably less than
Atlanta's. Mayor Woodward endeavored
to prove from statements by Commits
sioner Simmons that Atlanta's plant
would not do what the company
claimed.
This is Mayor Woodward's first de-
tailed inspection of the sewage disposal
plants which he declared would prove
entirely unsatisfactory and a waste of
funds The Milwaukee officials are
looking them over with view of build =
ing similar plants in their city.
Samuel n. Evins, attorney for the
Destructor Company, today, in a writ
ten statement, emphaticaly denies the
insulation of Mayor Woodward that he
or any member of his firm has inhu-
enced any member of the finance COM
mittee in any improper way to make
the $4,000 crematory appropriation. He
says the plant will be built and he has
every confidence that the council will
pay for It..

finance committee may mean a perma-

He then suggested that it was IN the

him.
He then asked me if | thought it
