Financier Seeks Congressional
Probe Into His Conviction for
Bank Law Violations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Charging
that he was "railroaded" to prison by
drunken jurors, Charles W. Morse
former lice king" and New York mill
the Federal Penitentiary of Atlanta
for violation of the national banking
laws, is trying to launch an investiga-
ton by a Congressional committee
into the circumstances leading up 10
his conviction six wears ago
Although Morse has made no an
nouncement of his plans, it is under
stood also that he will institute suits
for damages against prominent New
York bankers and others who were
connected with his conviction. He is
said to have been making prepare
tons for these suits and for the Con-
sressional investiga ton since his re-
turn from Europe several months ago,
where he took cure" after being
released from prison.
Comptroller Involved.
Morse was in Washington Tuesday
and held conference with Senator
Borah, of Idaho. and although the lat
ter refused to press the matter at this
time, 1t is understood that Morse left
Washington determined to return ana
take the matter Up with other men,
bers of the Senate and House.
Morses charges of being railroad
ed" also involve the office of the
Comptroller of the currency in Wash
ington, it is understood.
Morse asserts that the Comptroller.
at his trial, refused to allow the jury
to see the report of the national bank
examiner who Investigated the bank,
the Bank of North America, and indi-
Gates that this report would have
established clearly his innocence of
the principal charge against him, of
making false entries in the books of
the bank.
Charges Domination.
Morse asserts that he was diSCrimi-
mated against by the Comptroller be
cause the showing of the books would
have brought to light the fact that
other New York bankers were doing
the same thing. and would have ne
cessitated other prosecutions.
Morse was first convicted in the
Federal Courts in 1908, on three
counts and sentenced to five years on
each count Two of the three convic-
tons were later set aside. but the
sentence of fifteen years was allowed
to stand His sentence was COM
muted by President Taft two years
ago, after army surgeons who exam
ined Morse stated that he could not
live more than six months.

Is Still Struggling.

The interstate commerce committee is
still struggling with the proposed trust
legislation. The declaration of the Fresi-
dent that he will not be willing to have
Congress to adjourn until it has put
through the trust legislation program
has caused many senators no little worry.
and the committee has taken no definite
steps regarding the trade commission bill
before it.
1t is believed that the leaders will con-
fer with the President within the next
few days. and that the course of the Sen
ate will be finally determined.

haven't any doubt that the high

districts where there are the fewest

And among the boys who live next

There is no poverty wrose than

Policemen are obeying orders from
property owners most of the time

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

Mexico City, June 6.-The Huerta
government today decided to coun-
termand the order for a blockade of
Tampico. This action by Huerta is
believed to have followed receipt of
word from Niagara Falls to the effect
that the United States would not per-
NIT the blockade. The Huerta cab
met, of course, realized the utter fu-
tility of opposing the American naval
force.
Washington.-It seems likely that
the events of the coming u hours
will be momentous. The Tampico in
cident will be settled within that time.
Carranza's reply to the mediators, in
which he will agree to be represented,
bu will arguet that he cannot agree
to suspension of hostilities or to
consideration of Mexico's internal af-
fairs, will also have been considered.
No one will hazard guess how the
mediators will take this reply. If
they accept it, CaTanza's ultimate
triumph is assured. If they reject it,
it is believed nothing can come of
mediation unless the final result is
adoption of a plan to which the U, S.

And Graham Takes Second Place - Almost Every| County Shows Marked Advance-Only Two Fall Behind

That the total assessed valuation of the state for 1914 will be approX mately $4O4, 4,000,000, was the announce ment made yesterday at the office of the state tax commission. These fig ures, which are the result of con servative estimate of the value of the two counties which have not yet filed their abstracts, give the state an in crease of over $28,0O0,000 over 1913, or a gain of seven and onehalf per cent.
 Only the abstracts from Navajo and Pinal counties are lacking to com plete the total certified lists of as sessed county valuations now on file with the commission, and with two exceptions all show substantial in- creases over last years valuation. The percentage of gross increase of the assessed valuation over the assessors figures last year, and also the net gain over the final figures as fixed by the board of equalization are as fol- lows:

Canal Opening
 Is Promised FOy
 Middle 0fAMgus1
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHJ

WASHINGTON, July 23-The open ing of the Panama canal to the worlds $ commerce on August 15, was announced tonight by Secretary of War Garrison. Probably the first vessel to pass through the great waterway will be the Cristobal, a war department steamer now al Colon. There will be no for malities in the epoch making event, all ceremonies being left for the official passes through the canal next March. For the present, the canal will be open to vessels requiring not more than thirty feet of water.
 GarrisOnS announcement was made in this brief statement:
 The Panama canal will be open to commerce to vessels not needing more than thirty feet of water on and after August 15. The official opening of the canal, as heretofore announced, will be in the month Of March 1915 ApprOp- riate announcement will be made when greater depth of water than thirty feet has been secured. On the fifteenth bL august 'pIpiltl NIOtlildlS VIII lllciuS urate commercial service by sending a government boat through the canal There will be no ceremonies incident to the occasion, but American neWspa- pers who may desire to have represen- tatives present may do so. Others who may be present on the boat will be de- termined between now and the time mentioned"
 When the Cristobal steams from it's slip to the Atlantic entrance of the ca = nal, it will mark the conclusion by American enterprise of the greatest en- gineering task ever undertaken, and the continuation of ten years of the hardest kind of work against physical obstacles which severely taxed the alil = ity of army engineers under Colonel GOethals.
 Some things remain to be done to per feet the waterway
 While with 30 feet of water in the canal some great dreadnaughts might pick their way through after August 15, yet Secretary of the Navy Daniels said tonight he would not be likely to order any such movement except in an emergency. He will wait until there is more water in the great ditch.

 The president said that marines nave been concentrated in the vicin- ity of the islands so as to be ready in any emergency and admitted that representatives of the United States had used strong language in urging the rebellious elements to stop fight ing.

To Neaotiate Transfer

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Reginaldo Cepeda senator from the state of Goa hula and an intimate friend of Car ranza has been selected by Carbajal to negotiate the transfer of the govern ment at Mexico City to the constitu- tionalists. Cepeda, who was hiding in Mexico City during the Huerta dicta- torship, left Vera Cruz for TampicO to meet Carranza. He has full instruc- tions and authority to arrange for the transfer of the government As soon as Cepeda is received by Carranza the armistice will be formally signed as the first step in the negotiations. While the local agents of Carranza have said he is disinclined to grant an amnesty the speech today of the constitutional chief at Victoria and other reliable ad vices show he will declare an amnesty though the constitutionalist govern ment will reserve the right to punish those who are directly responsible for the assa assination of Madero and Su- arez. Most of these, however have left Mexico City.
 Jose Castellot, personal representa- tive of Carbajal conveyed this informa tion to Bryan. Messrs Mengel, Novela and Urueta. who it had been supposed would constitute the Carbajal commis-
