Old Homestead In Bath, Me.

the scene of his boyhood, to be
greeted by old friends and well
coined by his hth and kin, under
the sheltering roof of the old home
stead.
Preferred Europe.
IL Mr.. Morse had his way he
would now be taking the cure at
some famous watering place in
Europe. But the department of JUS
tice interrupted that plan. Denied
the seclusion of Europe, the banker
has come to Bath.
Aided by the loyal wife who
fought and prayed so hard for his
release from the federal peniten-
tiary a decade ago, he is deter
mined to fight all charges against
him to prevent a return to prison
so that he may end his days in
the peace and quiet of the COM
munity where his life began.
Time has thinned the ranks of
his old friends in his native city,
but those who remain still cling to
their old faith in him and gave him
a cordial welcome when he arrived.
His friends say that Mr.. Morse is
chafing at the restrain put upon his
movements by the department of
justice, but outwardly he maintains
his usual composure and until the
issuance of the bench warrants,
was seen daily on the streets of
Bath.
Boon to Lawyers.
Mr. Morse is now 65 years old,
broken in health, small wiry man,
cautious and cool to all except
those in his confidence. He has
been a fighter all of his life and a
great boon to lawyers in general,
for it is said he probably has con-
tributed more large fees to the
legal fraternity than any other man
in business life in America.
In the last fight he is likely to
make for freedom. he, will depend
once more upon Mrs. Morse, a wo-
man of strong character, quick
judgment and resourcefulness in an
She today is the buffer
for her husband. She has known
about all of happiness and misery
that life holds for any one person,
but her loyalty to and her admira-
ton of her husband never have
weakened.
To those who have commended
her, Mrs Morse has replied that
she had done only that which any
woman would do who loves her
husband.

Washington, May IL Decentrali-
cation of many departmental activi-
ties now performed in Washington is
being undertaken in order to exped.

The public is familiar with the decen-
tralization of a large percentage of
the activities of the Veterans Bureau,
whereby hundreds of thousands of
cases affecting ex-service men have
been transferred to regional head
quarters at IA various points in the
United States. The prohibition bu-
reau has largely decentralized its
work. The income tax division of the
Internal Revenue Bureau is working
out plan Of decentralization with a
view of cleaning up accumulated
cases and speeding up the work so
that within a reasonable length of
time the activities of that division will
practically be current. ei
The Postoffice Department is the
latest government administrative
agency to adopt a policy of decentral-
ization. The plan as worked out orr
