Few More Moves Added to
CheCkered Career of
Park Examiner.
OUSTED BY WARD;
BACK BY mitchell
Matter of Discipline, Declares
Commissioner; "See Mayor"
Saws Wifi, of Sh"tt!ecock.

Louis f. La Roche. who was ap-
pointed Park Commissioner by Mayor
Kline to ill out the uneXpred term OF
Charles B. Stovor. and returned On
January to his post as examiner in
the department. was ousted yesterday
morning by Cabot Ward, the new Com
missioner. and. according to reports
that stirred the department to rs
depths. was reinstated by Man or
Mitchell.
When seen last night Commissioner
Ward was evasive. but finally made
this answer to repeated inquiries as TO
the trouble:
1T is matter of internal discipline,
and have nothing more to say"
La Roche was confined to his bed
last night, but his wife said he referred
every one to Mayor Mitchell.
When Cabot Ward became Park
Commissioner for Manhattan and
Richmond it was expected that he
would retain La Roche. The latter was
prominently mentioned as a possibility
for the post before the Mayor named
his Cabinet. AS examiner, at a salary
of $4,000, La Roche had been chief as
sistant to Mr. Stover for two years
and was liked throughout the Depart
ment
La Roche had been i'll, it was learned
last night from his associates, and
against the orders OF his physician re-
ing. Later the report went through
the department that Ward had ousted
him. Members of the park force were
reticent last night. Ward had issued
strict orders that no statements were
to be given out, and no interviews
granted without his sanction. Those
approached said that La Roche had
taken the matter to Mayor Mitchell and
was reinstated.
When Ward was asked at his house
in the evening what the cause OF the
trouble was he said: 1T is matter
Of internal discipline. I have nothing
TO say.
There is report that MAYO
Mitchell reinstated Mr.. La Roche after
you had removed him." he was told.

Washington. Jan. 1.-Charles W.
Morse the former ice king" one or
the most spectacular figures in modern
American finance and the principai
actor In drama that lasted for hah
dozen wears and carried him from the
banking circles of New York to the
Atlanta penitentiary. is about to write
another chapter TO his story. After
months Of patient investigation ana

violation Of the national banking laws.
Although his plans have not been an
nounced, II became known here to-day
that he also contemplates suit ior
damages against prominent New York
bankers and other persons connected
with his trial and conviction.
Morse was in Washington yesterday
for a fen hours. He had talk with
Senator Borah. of Idaho, and suggested
his case by Senate committee. Al

derstood 10 have left Washington still
determined to force an investigation.
Since his return from Europe Morse
has been busily engaged in making
preparations to reopen in the court OF
public opinion. at least. the case
against him. He is said to hold that
the principal charge on which he was
convicted, the making Of false entries
in the books of the National Bank or
North America, was a flimsy charge,
and that he did nothing more than was
done by scores Of bankers in New YORK.
Morse is understood now to charge
that the office of the Controller OF the
Currency here refused at the time OF
his trial to allow the jury TO see the
report of the national bank examiner
who investigated the Bank of North
America, and indicates that this report
would have clearly established the fact
that ne had done nothing unlawful.
He il said to contend that this refusal
was based in part on the fact that the
other New York banks were making
the same kind Of loans, and that the
production of the examiners report In
court would have resulted necessarily

Mrs. lie Compte Says He
Stole PaWnticket, and
AlimOny Is Overdue.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward lie Compte,
whose activities have kept aloft the
price of printing ink and prevented
linotype operators from dying Of ennui,
appeared in q new and entertaining
act last evening. About o'clock, as
Patrolman Swenson was bracing
lamp post at Park avenue and list
street, he was disturbed by woman's
cries. Two minutes later he saw a
woman pulling a we'll dressed man
along Park avenue. She had her right
hand firmly on the lapels of his over
coat.
What no. madam" Swenson ex-
claimed.
"Ho nothing" was the answer.
This Is my affectionate husband Ed
ward lie Compte. and | want you to ar
rest him. He stole a pawnticket Tor
my diamond ring"
II can't arrest him" said Swenson,
but you can
MANY a true word spoken in jest,
Mrs. lie Compte replied. you may
well remark that ! can arrest him.
And you may make note or the 1act
that I'm going to-"
She then placed both hands on her
helpmeet's lapels and pulled him along
Park avenue, Swenson accompanying
to keep off the curious. This nove'
spectable naturally didn't attract more
than four hundred or five hundred per-
sons. Some thought it was moving
picture stuff, and they remarked that
Mrs. lie Compte played her part with
rare ability.
Thus they proceeded on Park ave.
nue. to 9th street, where the parade
turned east. Meanwhile lie Compile
who is an electrical engineer and lives
at No. 100 Woolsey street, Astoria
didn't make any great protest. lie
was rather silent, but Mrs. Madelon
Kenmore lie Compte regaled the po-
liceman with snappy details OF her
married life. For one thing, she said'
her husband was several thousand
wears overdue in his alimony pay
ments.
When the procession halted in front
OF the East 9th street police station
the crowd, realizing that IL could moi
enter. gave the lie Complies a hearfy
cheer and then departed.
To the lieutenant Mrs. lie Compte
said that her husband had stolen
pawnticket for her diamond ring. The
ring she said, was worth $3oo, ana II
had been pledged for $I5. -.e Compte
didn't have anything to say, so he wds
locked up on a charge Of grand lar
