men for Mr. Bryan on consideration of him
agreement to perform certain act nominally
In the Interest of organized labor, which
would be really either wholly Ineffective or
elaa of widespread Injury not only to organ
ized labor, but to all decent citizens through
out the country. You have a peculiar right
to ppcak on the labor question, for it was
you who. as Attorney-General, first actively
Invoked the great power of the Federal Gov
ernment In behalf of the right of labor
when, for the first time In the history of
the Government, 3-ou, speaking for the De

fireman who had lost an arm In coupling
cars, and by your Intervention pecured from
the Supreme Court a ennst ruction of the

to hundreds of crippled employes and widow
of crippled employe compensation ' which
they would not have otherwise obtained.

Steamship President Buncoed Out of
$100,000 by Morse's Ice Deal.
Barney Threatend to Resign,
but Weakened.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21. Into the testi
mony at the trial of Charles Morse and
his co-defendant, Alfred H. Curtis, who
are charged before Judge Hough in the
criminal branch of t'he United States
Court with conspiracy and violation of
the National banking laws, was intro
duced today the name of Miss Kate A.
Wilson, secretary to Mr. Morse, and the
prosecution produced witnesses who testi
fied to large loans made by the National
Bank of North America, a Morse institu
tion, to Miss Wilson. Edwin Moxey, a
Government bank examiner, who has
proved at this hearing that he Is a wizard
at figures, was the principal witness rela
tive to the big loans made to the finan
cier's secretary. Summed up his testi
mony was as follows:
Endless Chain of Loans.
"On her bare . and unsupported note,
Morse would loan Miss Wilson a sum of
money. Miss Wilson's note would be
cashed by the National Bank of North.
America and with the proceeds stock of
the American Ice Company would be pur
chased. Then the Ice stock would be used
to secure another loan of the bank. With
the money thus secured, bank stock would
be purchased and the bank stock aided
In supporting the Ice stock pools in which
Morse and other financiers were Inter
ested. The failure to raise the price of
Ice above par was what caused the
break in the endless chain."
The lawyers for the defense objected
repeatedly to the line of questions
asked the witness by the Government
lawyers, but Judge Hough sustained
the prosecution and the above descrip
tion of the Wilson loans was put upon
the records, piece by piece until the
chain was complete.
Fof the first time since her husband
has been on trial, Mrs. Clementine
Dodge Morse appeared In the court
room. Mrs. Curtis has been at her hus
band's side every day. Mrs. Morse was
attired In a gown of blue. She took a

Josiah West, Aged 7", Leaves Long
Island for His Home in
Clatsop County.
RIVERHEAD. L. I.. Oct. 21. (Spe
cjal.) Josiah West is going West to
vote and" will travel 6000 miles to
vote for William H. Taft for President.
He left Riverhead today for his home
in Clatsop County, Oregon, and to reach
there will necessitate a journey of
about 6000 miles and he is only 77
years old, at that.
Mr. West owns a ranch of 1400 acres
in Oregon, with a mile frontage on the
Pacific Ocean. He Is as spry as a
cricket, well, read and a most interest
ing conversationalist. He has been
here visiting his nephew. Judge Stack
polo. With him was his . youngest
daughter, Miss Violet West, who Is re
turning with him.
Having lived next to nature for the
most part of his life, it is not strange
that Mr. West should have selected
botanical names for his girls. There
are Pansy, Rose, Daisy, Heliotrope,
Violet, and those people who met Miss
Violet declare that she is as modest
and sweet as her name suggests.
CONTEST LAND PATENTS
Nevada Miners to Attack Southern
Pacific Land Grant.'
HENO. Nev., Oct. 21. (Special.)
Colonel Winfleld Scott Prosky, a min
ing man owning property in a number
of districts, today announced that on
January 3 next the statute of limita
tions will have applied to the patents
granted six years ago to the Southern
Paoifij to a-large area of mineral land
extending from WInnemucca to the
Nevada-California line and affecting
rights of hundreds of prospectors and
miners.
The men have been patiently wait
ing for a number of years, thinking a
decision in the one case decided would
similarly affect them all. Now it is
discovered that each disputant must
file a separate protest to establish his
right. The railroad company hoped
this would be overlooked. However,
every effort will be made by the de
partment at Washington to give all
claimants an opportunity to present
their cases and have a hearing.
WAR CLOUDS THREATEN
Situation in Balkans Far From Be
ing Settled Peacably.
PARIS, Oct. 21. The feeling In French
government circles is distinctly nervous,
both with regard to the situation in the
Balkans and the proposed international
congress. Advices are that the Turkish
government is impatient because Bulgaria
has failed to present an official commu
nication since Turkey received the French
assurance in the name of Emperor Fer
dinand, while from Sofia comes informa
tion that the Malinoff Cabinet still re
fuses to accept the advice of Ferdinand,
who advocates a peaceful settlement and
Insists that it would be preferable to go
to war than to pay an indemnity.
Until the Bulgarian Ministry yields
definitely it le considered by the officials
of the French government that the dan
ger of war has not been dispelled.
Reports current in Paris that Baron
von Bieberstein, the German Ambassador
at Constantinople, has been counseling
war, while not confirmed, caused dis
quietude, especially as Germany's atti
tude grows more and more enigmatical.
