ing his work of collecting material which
he will put into the hands OF friends
here. He is expected to return TO
Washington soon after Congress recon-
venes.
It is the understanding here that Mr..
Morse purposes to bring damage suits
against certain parties who, as he be-
lieyes. connived at having him rail-
roaded'
Such suits might have a most iInpor-
tant bearing on the proposed inquiry.
The result of them naturally would he
to bring out a mass OF evidence which
might be useful in the efforts to get a
Congressional inquiry.
One of the arguments which Will be
used against an investigation is that the
Supreme Court considered the case, and
fleet on the judiciary. But this objec-
ton, it Is pointed out, would not lie II
there could be adduced competent
showing of official misconduct.
Another argument eeing made by
opponents OF Morse is that he got out of
prison when II was represented he was
about to die, andsthen recovered. But
there is another side to this btr. Morse,
though he has recovered capacity for
work, according to men who saw him
here recently. still shows the effects OF
the ordeal he went through. That his
life has been shortened by his expert

ONLY because he has followed the most
rigid rules of health that he has re-
cuperated to the extent he has.

Senator 0verman Wants to
Learn If Appointments Are
Properly Distributed.

Senator Overmar plans to introduce a
resolution in the Senate calling for in
formation as to how the personnel OF
the Library of Congress Is distributed
by, States.
The purpose of the resolution will be
to find out whether the Librarian, in
making appointments, is observing State
lines and whether he is trying in any
measure TO distribute the appointments
among the States. Senator Overman Is
convinced the distribution should be or
q basis which is fair TO each State.
Mech talk has been indulged ofturn'
ing thei control Of the personnel OF the
Library. more than 500 employees, from
the hands of the Librarian to the hands
of the Joint Library Committee. Senator

introduce one.

BRYAN DEFENDS
GRAPE JUICE

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Secretary
Bryan had a ready rely to the
assault on his favorite bever-
age, grape juice, by Congress
man Bartholdt of Missouri,
who declared grape juice con-
tains twice as much alcohol as
beer.
1t is false on its face" said the
D Secretary, smiling, Anyone
who knows Bartholdt knows
that he would prefer grape
juice to beer if grape juice
had more alcohol in it. |
don't know whether Bartholdt
uses liquor or not, but next to
his interest in international
peace he seems to be interest

INTEREST IS KEEN
IN CASE OF MORSE
Opinions Differ as to Power of
FinanCier to Get InVestiga-

Much interest has been aroused here
and in New York by the efforts of
Charles W. Morse, the "ice king" to
have Congress investigate the circum-
stances under which he was sent to
Atlanta prison, and, as he charged, was
"railroaded."
Widely different opinions as to whether
there should be an inquiry are held. 1t
is plain there will be strong opposition.
but, on the other hand, if Mr.. Morse
can make the showing, which he be-

misconduct in connection with his case
that will present situation difficult for
Congress to avoid giving attention TO.

ROBERT DOLLAR ON HER. WAY
 TO NY. PORT


 Washington, Oct. 1-The status of the steamer Robert Dollar, now on it's way from Brazil to the United States was explained at the state department today where it was said the vessel is sailing under the British flag but with provisional American registry. It is said that in case the Dollar were cap tured this unusual condition might make it hard for a prize court to de- eide as to which nation the vessel owed allegiance.
 It was said at the state department that there had been no friction what ever between the United States and Great Britain or any other country in regard to the disposition of contra band Cor conditional contraband up to this point. Announcement of the ex- enption of American foodstuffs from seizure or diversion is only one step toward the solution of the whole dtfh- cult question under the new regula- tions in the declaration of London.

Linen1ans s Death Was Accidental
 Coroner Finds

Coroner John J. Phelan, in a finding handed down today, holds that the death of Charles B. Jewell. of Stam- ford, who was e1ectrocalted in Sound Beach, while working en the wires of the Southern New England Telephone Co. by whom he was employed, was accidental
 No one saw the man when his body came in contact with the powerful wires In accordance with a sugges- ton made by the Public Utilities Com mission, Hnemen had been employed in lowering the low powered wires be- heath the heavily charged wires. Jewell was working on the pole, and it is thought that the spur on his shoe came in contact with a feed wire car rying 2,300 volts, while he was arrang- ing the wire overhead, completing a circuit, and killing him instantly. When noticed he was dangling head downward, for his feet. had become entangled in the wires as he fell. Eel low workmen lowered the body to the ground.
 A. M Fraser of IA Bronx avenue, Bridgeport. testified at the hearing held in Sound Beach yesterday. Fraser is district plant chief, and assisted the coroner in conducting 2. number of experiments at the plant in Stamford.

EnaIish Laws on Findinc.


 Judge Atherley Jones stopped a case against man and his son charged with .-stealing by findfpg rug which the younger defendant picked up after it had blown off a motorcar. The judge. in directing the jury to return a verdict of not guilty, said that the law with regard to finding property. although there was popular supersti- 1on that anding was keeping, was very clear. If a person found an article 1t was his duty to preserve it. and, if he had any reason to suppose that 1t be- 1onged to a certain person. it became his duty to go to that person 10 make inquiries in order to ascertain. But otherwise there was no actual duty upon him to take 1t to police station It was probably prudent course, but the police had no greater right to the article than the person who found it.-- London Times.

YALE UNIVERSITY
 IN 2I4TH YEAR

New Haven, Oct. 1-Ya1e, opened today for it's 214th# year. While the registration has mot been completed it is considered likely that when the 6grres are compiled they will show an increase over that of last fall.
 Applications to the bureau of aI- point1nents, the seIf-he1p department of the University, it is learned. h.lve been so far considerably in excess 1f tfiose of last year.
 When the students crossed the col lege yard today they were greeted by a bronze statue of Nathan Hale, a graduate of Yale in the class of 1773, which has been placed on the campus. It is slightly larger than life size and was designed to represent the young patriot as he appeared just before his death. Formal dedication of the statue will take place later.

CONGRESS- TO TAKE
 REST FOR MONTH.

Washington, Oct IA tentative plan for complete cessation of the legis- 1ative business of the House from Oc- fober 10 to Nov. 15 was arranged yes the Democratic leader with the ap- prevail of President Wilson. To make t1e plan easy of accompli lishment, Mr. Underwood announced that the Alex ander Goyernnent Ownership Ship ping bill, about which there had been considerable controv ersy, would not be called up for consideration until the members returned to washington af-. ter the election in November.
 It is likely that the Senate also will plan a recess over the election period. although iu the upper body there is congestion of legisla ton which to dis pose of probably would run the session into the next regular session, to be convened on December '. Then there 1H a threatened dlibuster in the Senate over the war Revenue bill. which may operate toS demoralize any legislative program adopted.
 As one body Of Congress cannot ad-s 5ouTln or take a recess for more than three days without the consent of the other, MT. Underwood proposes to have
 "a gentlemer's agreement with Rer-. resent alive Mann, the Republican lead CT, whereby the House is to meet a Intervals of three days and adjourn ysSit thout the transaction of. any busi- ess except hat et6 which there should he no objections This will give the elnhers an opportunity to go to their ' stricts and take personal charge of cir campaigns. A few members would remain here to turn the legis-a Z aatiye wheels twice a week.

 One man. MT. Blank. became tired of waiting for his turn to come and. started to leave. Although his beard had come out pretty heavy. he thought no one could notice it and that he could come back the next morning when Hughes. the barber. was not so busy. The barber. not wishing a customer to 20 away unattended to, accosted him by saying. ~ You're not Ieavfn' us, is you. Mir. Blank ?''
 Why, I don't need shave do I, Hughes ?''
 Hughes thereupon looked his cua- toner over critically and answered him assuredly: '.No, youse don't need a shave; all youse need is a hair cut on de face."-N ational Monthly.
