So Will Examine Him Now.

Charles w. Morse. who returned from
abroad a week ago in better health"
than he has experienced in ten years
was subpenaed yesterday by Judge
Hough, of the Federal District Court,
for examination by Calvin O. Geer,
vice president Of the Western Develop
ment Company, which is suing John w.
McKinnon, a.ent for shareholders Of
Morses defunct National Bank OF
North America.
Mr. Geer says that "he has been in
formed and believes that Morse is an
aged, infrm and seagoing witness"
whose testimony is material at the
third trial of the suit. AS Morse was
abroad for his health during the sec
ond trial, and as the next trial will not
be held for some time, Mr.. Geer desires
to take his testimony now, lest he be
obliged to go abroad again "for his
health"
The examination will take place on

TUBERCULOUS COWS
FOR STATES POOR
1t Is Admitted That Milk and
Beef Are Used in Many
Charity Institutions.

Charges that condemned tuberculous
COWS furnish the milk supply in many Of
the states charitable institutions and are
afterward turned into beef, were made
yesterday by the New York MIX Com
mittee. More than g 10000 has been
wasted" by the state in this way since
1907. the committee says.
MANY Of the condemned COWS" says
the committee, which have been taken
off the hands Of dealers. breeders and
dairymen have been considered good
enough TO be MIXED until they became
dry and were then fattened for food pur-
poses after installation in state insutu-
tons. Among institutions TO which the
(state) Department OF Agriculture has
sent tuberculous cows are the New York
State Reformatory for Women, Bedford
Hills. Mohansic State Hospital. York
town: New York State Training School
for Boys, Yorktown Heights; New York
State Reformatory for Boys. Elmira:
New York State Women's Relief Corps
Home. oxford, and the Wingdale Prison
Site Farm. Wingdale. Other condemned
COWS have been sent TO the New York
Catholic Protectory at Lincolndale."
In addition TO the direct danger the
Milk Committee finds in milk from these
cows, it is alleged that at some institu
tons each boy has COW to care for.
and little attempt is made 10 protect him
from the dangerous character OF his
work Where the milk has been pas
teurized, it is found. the work has been
left largely TO incompetent inmates, who
do not understand the method or i'm
portance of carefulness. Danger of in
lection is also found in the use Of raw
vegetables raised on the institution farms
The waste by the state is found IN
tie prices paid to dairymen for their con
demned cattle. in many cases. it IS
charged. favoritism having been prac-
tised At the Bedford Reformatory, for
example IT is said that sixteen cows
were received at price Of Sl25 each, the
limit allowed by law. Other dealers re-
ceived SO. the highest price allowed for
grade cattle.

Yes. we'll satisfied" was the emphatic
reply. II knew it was going TO be tough
lob with so many ends to cover, but l
can say that am well satisfied with the
results. l have accomplished all that

Burns allowed the inference to be drawn
that when he returned to Atlanta to-day
he would be accompanied by at least one
important witness. 1t was learned from
q reliable source that neither Mrs. Form
by nor Becker would return with the de-
tective.

Burns.
He forbade espionage on his departure
by refusing to tell what train he would

last night for Atlanta. Leonard Haas, OF
counsel for Frank. who has been In New

garded as completely and satisfactorily

Yesterday. will be made next week IN the
Superior Court OF Georgia by Reuben n.
Arnold. Luther Il. Rosser and Mr.. Haas.
counsel for Frank Burns will make
report 10 these lawyers, and It will be
made public.
Ordinarily a motion for new trial Is
based solely on affdavits The court may
in its discretion, direct such witnesses as
il deems necessary 20 attend personally
II such a course appears advisable and
the witnesses are in its jurisdiction.
Witnesses Within Jurisdiction.
II is evident that Burns considers that
his report 10 Franks counsel will so COM
pletelv upset the old theory of the muir
der that personal corroboration may be
sought. He intends to have within the
jurisdiction Of the court the witnesses
necessary TO put the final dramatic touch
on his case.
Such a course on the part Of the court
is most unusual. but. as was said yester-
day by a New York attorney who has in
terested himself in the case, "the whole
affair is most unusual, and extraordinary
developments are TO be expected"
A new trial for Frank has twice been
denied by the Georgia courts. On Octo-
Der 81 Judge Roam, before whom the case
was tried. denied Franks motion for a
new trial. on February Il, the day be-
fore Burns entered the case, Judge Roam
decision was upheld by the Supreme
Court by vote of four TO two.
Since that time several witnesses who
testified for the prosecution have admit
ted they did not tell the truth. Virtually
the whole case now hangs on the testl-
mony OF James Conley. negro sweeper
in the factory, who has already told half
dozen stories Of the affair.

JACKSON CONVICTED
AS OPIUM SELLER
Gang Leader Sentenced to Five
Years in Prison Has Long
Been Police Problem.

Thomas F. Jackson, better known as
"Humpty." who, for many years has
been a problem to the police, was yester-
day convicted on a charge OF selling
opium and was sentenced by Judges
O'Keefe Zeller and Ryan TO five years in
Sing Sing. "Humpty" has probably been
arrested more often and for more crimes
than any other criminal in New York
who has not more than five convictions TO
his name.
For many years "Humpty" Jackson was
leader of one of the worst gangs in the
East Side. and since his release from
prison, two years ago, has been running
a restaurant at No 81 Third avenue. In
all he has been arrested $50 times on a
variety Of charges, from assault to selling
drugs.
On March % he was arrested for selling
a "toye"-or small jar-of opium to Ada
Bell, who had previously Informed Floyd
II. Wilmot, Assistant District Attorney,
that Jackson supplied the drug to a large
number OF users in the East Side. The
woman, a drug user herself, went TO
"Humpty's" restaurant. accompanied by
Lieutenant Ross, OF the 1st Inspection
District. and Samuel Dean, OF the Dis
trict Attorneys office, and there pur-
chased the opium with a marked bill.
During the trial 'Humpty" protested
that the case was a "frame-up" and that
he was the victim Of conspiracy TO put
him out OF the way.
I'm being tried on my criminal record,
not on the TRUTH he said. 1T is bad
record. but I don't sell hop. What do you
think / ana fixed post for hopheads?"
The arrests made through the District
Attorneys office in the drug crusade now
number more than $50. out OF which a

Notice of Motion Filed

Has New Witnesses.
DETECTIVE EXPECTS
TO UPSET OLD CASE
Will Start for Atlanta To- day, and
May Take Those Who Will
Give Fresh Evidence.

William ]. Burns will start to-day for

took up on February IS. has been in the
shadow of death since August %, when
amid the cheers of spectators, he was
found guilty OF the murder OF fifteen
year-old Mary Phagan, an employe In

superintendent.
Since Burns took up the case he has de-
voted his entire attention TO IT. For
weeks he was in the South gathering In
formation. lie came to New York this
week. and has been busy following leads
obtained in Georgia. Notice of motion for
a new trial was filed yesterday by Frank

on the testimony of four new witnesses.

Yrank case known to be in New YORK

FOR WATER PIPES THAT FREEZE.

Every person knows what it is to
be troubled with frozen water pipes
in the winter. There are few but who
have had the experience of having to
thaw them out some time or other. In
recent issue of the Country Gentle
man, writer says he has found sue
cessful method Of treating the pipes so
that they will not freeze. The method
is described as follows: "After much
experimenting ] finally hit upon the
easiest, most inexpensive and surest
way to keep the frost off the pipe. I
have recommended it to many persons
who have tried it and found it saves
many repair bills. Melt an equal
quantity of petroleum, vaseline and Of
paraffin wax together, and, after
wlping the pipes perfectly dry, apply
with an old brush thick coat of this
mixture while it is hot. An old lamp
or torch will easy keep it in liquid
state. You will find that no matter
how cold the weather may get, the frost
cannot penetrate this coat of grease,
| have used this on water pipes that are
along the ground unprotected, and not
once during the coolest weather did
they freeze up or give me the least trou.
