Paradise Of Departed Heroes.

The way in which the departed
Scandinavian heroes passed their time
in Valhalia, or in the palace of Odin.
Is described in severar places in the
Edda.
They have every day the pleasure
Of armtng themselves. ~marshalling
: themselves In military order, engaging
in battle. and being all cut to pieces /;
but when the stated hour of repast
arrives their bodies are reunited, and
they return on horseback safe to the
hall OF banquet. where they feed
heartily On the flesh Of a boar and
drink beer out of the skulls OF their
enemies. until they are in a state of
ntoXicntion. Odin sits by himself at
a particular table. The heroes are
served by the beautiful virgins named
valkirie, who oficiate as their cup
bearers. But the pleasures of love
do not enter. at all into the joys of this
extraordinary paradise.

MORSE ALMOST STOPS
ATTY. GEMS VACATION
Wanted Him, Lasker and
Payne Subpoenaed But
Papers Are Not Served

Washington, March 5.--An attempt
by legal process to prevent Attorney
General Daugherty Chairman Lasker
Of the Shipping Board and John Bar
ton Payne, chairman of the Red Cross
from leaving Washington for a vaca-
tion trip with President Harding in
Florida, was begun and then aband-
oned today shortly before the hour set
for the departure of the presidents
special train.
At the request of attorneys for
Charles w. Morse, the New York
shipbuilder whose trial here on
charges of fraud in connection with
'war contracts had been set next
Wednesday, the United States mar
shal's Office issued subpoenas reauir-
ing the three men to appear in court
on the opening day OF the trial as
witnesses for the defense.
While a deputy marshal was trying
to serve the subpoenas however, Dis
trict Attorney Gordon conferred with
the Morse counsel and it was agreed
that the attempt would be abandoned.
1t was said that other subpoenas
might be issued later. asking that one
or more of the three men return from
Florida to appear in court.
Both the attorney general and Mr..
Lasker it was said, were to be asked
under the plan of the Morse attorneys
to bring into court certain records of
their Offices in connection with the
wartime ship contracts. The testi-
mony Of Mr.. Payne, a former board
chairman, was asked for in connection
with the making of the contracts.
The compromise was understood to
have provided for a postponement of
the trial date until March 10.
The district of Columbia supreme
court today sustained the motion of
the government to dismiss a demurrer
which sought to quash the indictments
against Morse, his three sons and Ru-
pert NJ. Much. former secretary of the |
Virginia Shipbuilding company. Sev-
cral of the defendants IN order to
straighten out kink in the procedure
again entered formal pleas of not
guilty.
The court rejected the contention
of the defendants that the presence OF
a representative of the department OF
Justice at the grand jury hearings had
invaldatcd the jury's findings.
