Two Years Ago an Atlanta Con-

A marvellous story which Queen

Charles w. Morse, New York banker,
and genius Of high finance.

which he fell in 1910, when the great
crash in his fortunes came, and when
he, apparently dying, was sent 10

REFORM COURTS
ANDPR|S0NS, IS
PLEA Of DORSEY.
Solicitor Favors Legislative In
vestigation to Make Both
Systems More Efficient,

Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey, of
the Fulton County Superior Court,
has given out an interview strongly
indorsing the proposal to appoint a
legislative committee to make thor
ough investigation of the penal sys-
tenn and criminal court procedure in
Georgia, with a view to improving
both, increasing their efficiency and
bringing them thoroughly up to date.
AS Solicitor General. Mr.. Dorsey is
constantly brought in contact with
many difficulties under the Georgia
law Of convicting a man before a
jury, even when his guilt is certain.
81 think one of the difficulties, ~
says Mr.. Dorsey, lies In the fact
that the members Of the average jury
know that the conditions which sur
round a convict in Georgia tend to
make a man worse and not better,
and that Juries are consequently re-
iuctant to deliver even a guilty man
into the hands of justice that will,
merely inflict punishment on him
without much likelihood of doing him
any good.
IF the penal system were revived
along practical and thoroughly con-
sentative lines, yet In such a way
that 1t would make for the moral and
physical betterment of convicts, l
believe our juries would not only be
more willing to convict in proper
cases, but would also be willing to
give the criminal courts wider author
ity, which they stand in such great
need of"

clerks acting as dummies, began 20
totter.
Morse could not make good on a
loan Of 100000. and a federal inves-
tigation began. resulting in an In
dictment against him for violation 81
the banking laws, and his subsequent
conviction and sentence to fifteen
years imprisonment.
Now he has begun again. He is
still fighting for his health, and ap-
pears at his Wall Street office only
three or four mornings a week. With
him in the office are only his son,
Harry. and a stenographer.
Nobody knows why Morse returned
70 Wall Street after his misfortunes.
Many believe that he is there for a
purpose, but he will not tell. His
ambition seems undiminshed and
his strength seems equal in spite OF
the verdict pronounced by physicians
when Morse was in the Atlanta prts-
on, to his hopes.

tion.
His History Is Thrilling.
If his past career is repeated. it IS
likely that he will. The story 1f
Charles ". Morse is remarkable and

Begins Picking Up Banks.
He began picking up banks, until he
had a string. After the panic of
1907 he got them by the simple ex-
pedient of pledging the stock of one
bank as collateral for his purchase
OF another. He bought the Peoples
line Of steamboats, from New York
TO Albany, and later all the lines
from Boston to points northward.
Next he bought the Metropolitan
Line. and ordered the Yale and Har-
ward built at cost Of 81 900, 600 each.
Before long he had other steamers
on the Hudson. Then he bought the
Clyde and Mallory lines. All the

though bound by an agreement not
to sell, began to feed the market. IL
it was Morse, he waited too long to
