EEKS $lOO,OOO FOR FREEING MORSE
ium Says His Only Pay Was
 Bouquet Of Flowers

New York, Sept. 14.--Max c.
 tum has brought suit against Aarles w. Morse, the steam Eat man, for $100,0OO in payment for
 alleged service in persuading #esident Taft to free Morse from the 8deral prison at Atlanta in 1912. Be suit, which was filed about six
 pnths ago, came to light yesterday
 Trough an order signed in the su-
 eme court by Justice Guy permit Rg the. filing of papers in the case. E. Morse was convicted in 1909 of
 plating the banking laws.
 Baum described himself as real pate and insurance agent and was ! 1d to have had more or less expert zee in getting evidence in divorce
 ses and other litigation.
 Morse said last night that he didn't
 Ve Baum any money and didn't in SndI to pay him any.
 &'Whatever Baum did for me-" said Horse, ''he told me he was doing be- #use he wished to see me get jus 1ee. I think about all he did was have some pieces put in the news
 
 by money"
 SRum that 1t was he who obtained orse's release by President Taft l Baum figures I have some money zhd he wants some of it. That's all k kere is to the case," Morse conclud-
 
 Mrs. C1ementine Morse is named as defendant in the slut also because, Baum alleges he was retained by pr, but efforts which a half dozen Eocess servers have been making to |rve her since last fall have thus Er been fruitless. George w. Files Ftorney for Baum said yesterday that took his men three months to serve [orse. Kenneth K. Mackenzie, attor- ey for Morse. has filed an appear bee in the case and has demanded a III of particulars, which is now be- |g prepared.
 Baum alleges that Mrs. Morse ap- eaIed to him to aid her husband bon after he had been convicted and bat he at once started collecting evil ence on which to base a plea for a ew trial. He produced @ number of bearing on the conduct Of ertain jurors while they were deliber- ting over the Morse case, affidavits mich were used by Martin w. Little on in making an application for a ew trial The application was de- fed, but MT. Morse was released on ai1 pending the decision.
 Baum contends in detail that after [orse was sent to prison he (Baum) olicited the aid of members of a, fra erna1 order to which Morse belonged nd by using other methods he enlist q the sympathy of MT. Taft. He avs that while he was making these forts Morse told him that If he was 1ccessfu1 he would be made wealthy eyond his widest dreams" Yet, aft r Morse was released, the latter sent i'm a bouquet of roses.

HEARTBROKEN, SHOOTS SELF
Did Charley the Fiddler Thought It Was Last Straw When Process Serv-
 CT Puts End to Business.

New York, Sept. 14.-"Old Charley she Fiddler" wasn't exactly a fiddler, because his chief work was trying to Aarn a, living in the little saloon he ran SuntiI yesterday at 243 New Jersey Rail- road avenue, Newark. But he could { make violins and would have preferred @o support himself that way, but long Sago he found he couldn't make ends Smeet by whittling violins.
 So he rented a store and put up a gsign reading "Charles F. Bauer, Sa- Eloon and Restaurant" installed his |wife and five children in rooms to Ithe rear and bought @ revolver to |safeguard the dimes and nickels, which he expected to stream over the counter. But the old man-he was |almost 70-gradually grew poorer. Late in the night he would take up his old handiwork of violin making with the hope that enough money to pay the rent and support his family mi ght be made in this way.
 Old Charley and his wife were talk ing over their troubles in hopeless fashion yesterday when a process server entered the saloon. Charley hurried out to the bar to greet a retrospective customer. But instead of making a purchase the server hand ed over a batch of legal papers.
 The violin maker accepted the pa pers, glanced through them and slow ly opened the cash drawer to drop the
 papers into it. The drawer was
 empty except for the revolver, which
 Charley in more hopeful days had
 bought to fight off prospective rob-
 bers. The old man looked down at
 the shiny weapon for moment and
 as the process server was turning to
 go Charley picked up the revolver
 and shot himself through the heart.

little shame.

and learned thoroughly is that no one
has any business enCrOaching on the
private thoughts Of others.
There may be times, possibly
when we may take a hand in other
peoples affairs, for it is always i'm
possible to act without some one
knowing something about it.
But ones thoughts! They may be
entirely private property.
III tell you, little book, sometimes
my thoughts are so private that l
hate to repeat them to myself. Even
to you, l have not voiced, or rather
written, some of the very vital things
that have been born in my brain and
are now living in my heart. Some
time l may tell them to you, but not
now.
However, my long illness and the
knowledge that to me come these
Unbidden thoughts make me think
that others have them too, Il have
long dismissed the idea, little book,

netism.
Let me whisper a great and very
secret confession to you, little book.
I have seen many women and known
many of them intimately, and have
never known one so young or so old
that she did not like to influence a
man by her feminine wiles.
It is nature. You see it in the tiny
little girl of four when she uncon-
sciOUsly f1irts with grandpa by put
ting her soft cheek against his and
curves her TOUguish lips in the most
endearing and innocent of smiles.
You see it in the faint tint that comes
to grandma's face when her favorite
grandson gathers her up in his ath-
letiC arms and prOclaims loudly that
she is prettier than any girl he has
met at college.
However, l am going to try and
be big enough to let Dick forget me.

CenCe of his love for me lately. You
see, little book, he must have felt
two kinds of pity for me. The pity
of my heart hurt and the pity of my
bodily hurt. Of one of these he was
the cause and he has manfully tried
to make it up to me.
He told me the other night that he
would not have me changed in any
particular except to be made physic-
ally well.

rights in providing transportation, and
securing jobs for the men which they
are taking away from the farms and
mills Of South Mississippi.
While the number Of negroes leav

large, there was no noticeable in,
