CHARLES v. MORSE
WOULD HAVE CASE
AGAIN INVESTIGATED
Spectacular Financial Fig
ure and Erstwhile Convict
May Sue Bankers for
Damages

Washington. January 7.-Charles w.
Morse. the former ice king" one of
the most spectacular figures in mod
ern American finance. and the prin-
cipal actor in drama that lasted for
a half dozen years and carried him
from the banking regions of New York
to the Atlanta penitentiary, is about
to write another chapter to his story.
After months of investigation and la
Dor, Morse is trying to launch an in
vestigation by a congressional COM
mittee of all the circumstances lead
ing up to his conviction six years ago
of violation of the national banl<ine g
laws. Although his plans have not been
announced, it became known here to-
day that he also contemplates suit for
damages against prominent New York
bankers and others connected with his
trial and conviction.
Morse had talk with Senator Borah
of Idaho here yesterday and suggested
to him the need for an investigation
of his case by a Senate committee. Al
though the Idaho senator refused to
press the matter. the ex-banker Is un
derstood to have left Washington still
determined to force an investigation.
Morse was sent to the Atlanta pen
itentiary to serve a 15-year sentence
After a quiet but persistent fight led
by Mrs Morse and backed by many
prominent persons, his sentence was
commuted by former President Taft
Mr.. Taft acted on the statements OF
army surgeons. who declared that
Morse could not live longer than SIX
months. The prisoner was released
from Atlanta within five days of two
years ago. Shortly afterward he sailed
for Europe, took cure and then re-
turned to the United States.

Significant Feature
An interesting and significant feature
of the session of the committee was that
on the left sat the governor of Alabama
pulling for a double primary, and on the
right the senatorial appointee of the gov
ernor, Frank p. Glass. pulling to the
same general end.
Despite the protestation of each sopho-
morical orator that his energy was be-
ing expended in the interest of the peo-
pie. no man will deny that the struggle
was one between the advocates of b. B.
Conner and the opponents of that candi-

more than two hours and the issue was
doubtful until the last vote was cast.

lecting nominees of the party for state.

i, ton was introduced by Kelly Dixon of
