For has activities In procuring the divorce
which enabled Morse to relieve Dodge of his
wife, Abe went to the penitentiary for a short
while, and then passed over to Europe where,
1T was said, he appeared to be flush of ducats.
Morse had also organized the Ice Trust,
practically destroyed the natural ice on the
Hudson, breaking it up as fast as it formed,
thus making it impossible for New York and
Jersey to get any ice except has.
Then the hot summer came on, human
beings sweltered in the narrow streets, sick
people painted in the packed tenements, babes
gasped for breath-and Morse raised the price
of ice, and cut out the Scent sale entirely.
Result? The sick, the weak, the fevered
died like flies
have never read more pleadngly pathetic
editorials than those addressed to Morse, per-
sonally, by the New York Daily papers.
They implored the man to spare the limo
cents, the helpless infants and the fevered
sick, by returning to the former price and the
former Scent block.
Those appeals might as we'll have been ad-
dressed to Stone Mountain.
Remorseessly, this monster held to his
course, and never for an instant did he show
such weakness as human sympathy.
Convicted later for some of his banking
operations which were said to be gigantic
crimes, he came to Georgia to serve out a short
term.
Did he serve it? Oh, no. His wife got
busy, wept her way from one big man to
another, wept her way into has sympathies,
and got has name on petition for pardon.
Newspapers of certain sort took the mat
ter up, and they wept column after column
over Charles W. Morse. Gradually, the
maudlin portion of mankind got Morse on the
brain. The country would go to the dogs, and
the world would be scandalized, if Morse were
allowed to continue in the penitentiary.
Then Morse's health broke down, and q
most awful breakdown it was. Nobody had
ever been as sick as Morse was; nobody ever
had such an accumulation of incurable dis
eases, all of them in their last stages.
Morse had diabetes in it's worst form and
its last stage: Morse had Bright's disease so
fearfuIly advanced that his death was only a
question of few days
Bosh Fielder said it Fred Seely said it: the
daily papers reeked with it; and every morn
ing there came big headlines over the state
ments made by Bosh and Fred to the general
effect that
"NORSE IS 4 DYING MAN!

1t went on, day after day, until the hysteri-
cal element were almost throwing fits, and the
maudlin nosily wept.
The ,Jeffersonian warned the public and the
President that Bosh Fielder and Fred Seely
were working huge fraud upon them.
There were circumstances about the manu-
featured clamor for Morse that were quite
sufficient to convince a close observer that the
whole thing was an elaborate sham.
But there was no stopping it Big Money

With her bunkers full and this addi-

The Deutschland continued her tests

Deny Ship Entered.

WASHINGTON. July 27.-Sir Cecil
Spring Rice. the British ambassador,
informed Acting Secretary Polk today
that he received message from the
admiral commanding the British
squadron on the Atlantic, denying that
Q British warship had entered Chesa-
peake bay as reported by the COM
mander of the battleship Louisiana.
The ambassador said the British
ships had strict orders not to enter
the three mile limit of American ter
ritorial waters to waylay the German
submarine Deutschland or for any
other purpose and the admiral had
reported that their instructions had
not been violated at any time.
The statement of the ambassador
will be accepted by the state depart
ment, but the commander of the
Louisiana is being pressed by the navy
for further details on his report that
a craft which passed him at Lynn
Haven inlet signalled English
cruiser"
Officials do not know what to make
of the case, but some are inclined to
believe that the American officer was
the victim of some kind of hoax. The
armored cruiser North Carolina and
the destroyer sent out to the capes
for neutrality duty yesterday will con-
tinue their patrol.
