Thus spoke Charles w. Morse early
this afternoon when shown a dis
patch printed in the morning news

saying that United States Attorney

Mr.. Morse said he had received no

general for permission to remain in
France until January 5, either from
Mr.. Daugherty himself or through the
American embassy in Paris. He add
ed that he had requested Police Com
missioner in Chief Fabiani to call at
the Continental Hotel, where Mr..
Morse is stopping, tomorrow morning
at $50 o'clock and accompany him TO
the French line Offices and book his
pa assage, as he desired to board the

Il should go back on that boat to-
morrow even if l were indicted for
murder" said Mr.. Morse to the COR

The shipbuilder added that as soon
