from which both parties suffer today
is lack of cohesion"

q surplus. which it is at least tenn
porarily doing. the reduction will be

Embarrassed in 1917

Washington, May 1O-More docu-
mentary evidence designed to show

meet promptly its obligations up to
the time it received a contract for
wooden ships from the Emergency
Fleet Corporation on June 10. 1917,
was introduced today by the govern
ment at the Morse trial.
Most Of the evidence took the
form Of letters from creditors or
their attorneys, demanding payment
of bills ranging from $40 to several
thousand dollars and which. it was
claimed, were long past due. In
some of the letters from Dexter
Rood. treasurer of the Noank plant.
in reply to the demands. in which
statements were made that the COM
pany was short of ready cash. but
had large sums owing it which it
hoped to collect soon when settle
ments of the bills in question would
be made
The first letters offered were writ
ten by Benjamin w. Morse from the
office Of the Continental Trading
Company. ship brokers. New York
City. to his brother. +. A. Morse. at
Noank. One, under date of January
3. 1917. stated that the writer was
enclosing check for $3.50 to
cover certain checks of the Noank

we have little money. You have
charged us $50 or $50 a thousand
(feet) for lumber which cost YOU
SIS. l know you are pretty hungry

to get it ALL"
Asked by counsel for the defense
about his statement in one letter to
a creditor that there was $500 200
due the Noank plant. Mr.. Rood said
large part of the money due the
company was for repair work done
.on ships of the United States Steam
ship Company. another Morse con-
Germ. and the parent of all the
others. He could not say whether
any of this money ever was collect
ed.
Rood said that at another neriod
when the company was being press

amounted to 100000 and it then
was negotiating for the sale of a
schooner for that amount.
The government had not con-
