COMPLAINS OF SENTENCE NOW FOR THE I , - . - L ..( , , f : at- : ft ?Co Business Man Would Holy Vpon ' Result of Conference Conducted ' . as Were Juror's Delibera tions, IT Avers. NE7W YORK. Dec. 9. if the Govern ment has a good case it can prove it again, but if I am denied a new trial there Is no romedy for me against the wrongs and misconduct of -which I think the eoeclal officers and Jury were guilty." This Is -what Charles W. Morse, con victed banker, -who faces a 15-year term in the Federal prison at 'Atlanta, said tonight. A motion for a new trial has been set to be heard tomorrow in. the United .States Circuit Court which con victed blm, but the argument may be postnoned.. . - Victim Icmandcd, He Says. '"VEhat the end -will be I am not able ' to foretell." Morse .continued, "whether servitude under a sentence which is rarely imposed, even upon a murderer or a new trial with a chance to Eoibmlt my case to another jury after the passions of panic have cooled and the cry for a victim has ceased. If it be servitude in a distant state and climate, away from my family and friends -I shall meet it with firm consciousness that I have not vio lated the law or done wrong to a single Individual. , , - ' "Tou ask me to what ' misconduct of th Jury do I refer. ' I refer to the fact that a majority of them, instead of . keeping their heads clear and their blood cool, drank enough and often enough to prevent them from receiving or under standing and calmly weighing the com plicated facts of my case." , Another Chance Asked. Morse went into theeharges against the Jury and special Government agents in detail charges heretofore made by his counsel and concluded as follows: "I leave to any fair-minded citizen if the verdict against me should stand or whether I should not have another chance before another Jury surrounded by different influences. Not a business man in New York would rely on the re sult of any business conference in which the members conducted themselves as this Jury did. "Nor would any judge in the United States knowingly permit paid agents' of the prosecution to take charge of the Jury and .conduct themselves as these men did. I shall await the result and abide by It." ARMY MAY HANDLE FREIGHT Switchmen's Strike Interferes With Government's Movements. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washr mgton, Dec 9.

Because nobody seemed to have any authority to act, an unconscious man, badly injured, lay beside a corpse in the Northern Pacific Railroad Station here this afternoon for an hour and a half before an ambulance was summoned and he was moved to a hospital, where med ical aid could be given him. Eventually the Chief of Police and Dr. Guerrin took it upon themselves to call an ambulance and have the man taken where he could be cared for; and at a late hour tonight it was said that, though the man is still unconscious, he would in all probability recover.

The dead man, found with him, was so badly bruised about the face that his features were unrecognizable. It is thought the men fell from a freight, on which they were beating their way. From papers found In the pocket of the Injured man it is believed he is Tador Zanisk, an Austrian coal miner. He had wage receipts in his pocket bearing this name.

TO Lies About Three Miles Above Wes ton Landing and Cargo Is Not Damaged. DAYTON, Or., Dec. 9. (Special.) Strik ing a snag in the Willamette River three miles above Weston Landing, at 9 o'clock last night, the steamer Oregona, of the Oregon City Transportation Company line, began rapidly to fill, and was beached on a sand bar to prevent her sinking.

The Oregona took a cargo of 536 sacks of wheat from here for the Salem Flour ing Mills and carried also much miscel laneous freight for Salem and up-river points. The cargo was but slightly dam aged, it is said, and will probably be transferred to another steamer. Steps will be taken at once to raise and repair the Oregona.
