MORSE PLAYS
FOR MORE TIME
IN EUROPE
Asks for Right to See En-
inent Physician Of Rome
But Attorney General
Daugherty Cables Him
to Leave France Monday
for Home

Paris, Dec. 8 tBy the Associated
Pressl The French ministry of the
interior to-day issued an order deny.
ing Charles w. Morse the right to
land in France, and requiring him to
return to the United States on the
first available steamer, which would
be- the Paris, sailing Monday from
Havre.
Issuance Of this order was confirmed
in letter from the French foreign
office to the American embassy this
morning. The interior department has
the right to refuse entry to any for
eigner whom it judges undesirable.
Mr.. Morse said that he felt that
his cablegram yesterday to Mr..
Daugherty, in which he said he would
return to America when wanted, was
somewhat vague, and in to-day's mes
sage he asked permission 10 consult
Professor Ettore Msrchiafaua of Rome,
consulting physician to the late Pope
Plus. in regard to an operation. This
would necessitate delaying his sail
ing until the departure of the steam
ship George Washington on Jan s..
Mr.. Morse expressed disbelief in the
reports that he had been indicted.
"The report Of my indictment in
connection with the Tunis ship deal"
he told the correspondent, must be
unfounded, as was indicted on that
charge more than a year ago in New
York state and the indictment was
quashed at the request of the shipping
board
tMr. Morse was indicted May 3,
1920, on charge that, through an
agent, he had sold the steamer John G. |
Mccullough to the government of Tu-
Sois in violation Of the law prescribing
sale of ship registered under the |
American laws to anyone not citi- |
zen of the United States without the
shipping boards permission).
Concerning the reports of an in
dictment charging padding of pay rolls
at our Groton, Conn.,, shipyard, this
is also impossible as full investigation
was made by government officials who
reported that there was no padding
of payrolls at Groton. Even had there
been padding, inasmuch as our con-
tracts with the shipping board all pro-
vided for the delivery ofacertain ton
mage at so much per ton, the govern
ment had no concern beyond the full
fillment of our contracts according to-
the stipulated terms"
Mr.. Morse has asked w. II. p. Em-1
rich, Paris attorney, to come to
Havre for consultation, following word
from Attorney Donald Harper of Par
is that he would be unable to act.
The American financier insists that he
has no intention of fighting by legal
means against returnig to the United
States but merely wishes TO have rep
resentations made in Washington that
his request for a delay in sailing be
granted.
Should Attorney General Daugher-
ty refuse my request" AIR. Morse
told the correspondent, 81 win return
on the Paris on Monday"
Mr.. Morse appeared in good health {
and spirits after a nights rest at the q
Hotel Continental The surveillance I
to which he was subjected, while con-
slant, was quite discreet, one police Of
ficer being stationed on the third floor
Of the hotel, where Mr. Morse occu-
pies one of the best rooms, and an
other officer near the hotel entrance. {

ADJUSTMENTS
MATT AND BOB
OFT COMING
IN BIG PLAY

Bob OFT has been aided and abet-
ted by his brother Matthew OFT in
the big musical play that will be Civ
en- at the Augusta Opera house this
afternoon and tonight. 1t iS called
MY Mother and it is the product
OF the fertile brain Of brother Matt.
Bob is a wonder on the stage, but
Matt always gets cold feet when he
attempts to do any acting. His part
in holding up the family name is to
turn out things for Brother Bob to
produce and in MY Mother" he has
evolved one of the very best things he
has yet manufactured. It is a
thoroughly delicious comedy. with an
interesting story that at times grips
the heart-strings, but is never too
serious to become heavy.
AS in the two musical comedies al
ready given, there are special new
costumes for this production while
,he new electrical effects will be even
more charming than those that have
heen seen. The Bob OFT company
carries a whole carload of special
scenery and electrical apparatus so
that the latest and very best effects
Daily Kennebec journal., 1921-10-05

may be produced. Some of these
have already been seen, but Bob has
many more good things in store so
that with the daily change of show.
there is also a complete change in
everything else to meet the demands
of each different production.
That Bob OFT is one of the most
popular performers ever seen in
Maine is attested by the hundreds of
people who are calling 100 on the
telephone for seat reservations.
Theatre parties have become ex-
tremely popular during the stay of
the OFT organization while the mat
inees are proving extremely popular
with those who cannot attend in the
evening.-Adv.
