BRILIANT BANQUET IN JUAREZ An Klaborate fitnte llanquet lu the Town ?( Jtntrex, Over ill? Mf*l? can Border, Cloned a Memorable Day la llietorjr. Ml Paso, Texas. ? An elaborate State banquet at the little town of Juarez, across the Metlcan border, brought to a close a memorable day In tho history of the United States and Mexico. Porflrio Dlas, Mexico's venerablo President, had crossed over to Ameri can soil and had been received with a warmth that told ltn own story of the good feeling between the nations. President Taft, in his turn, throwing custom to the wluds, had turned his back on hig own country to receive General lias's cordial greeting on the Mexican side. All this had been marked by the booming of guns, the blare of trum pet*, the tooting of band*, in short, all tho noise and pomp that ordinarily Invest a state occasion of Importance. But the culmination of the day's In ternational program came when Pres ident Dlas flrBt arose to speak. He assured President Taft of his warm personal regard and his high esteem for the man who accomplished 60 much In the Philippines, In Cuba and elsewhere, and who now had the honor to be the Chief Executive of so great a natloa as the United States. President Taft declared that he was glad to meet President Diaz. He was glad to know the President of such a great nation, and especially glad to meet the man who had made that nation great. Both Presidents dwelt on the cor diality of the relations between tho United States and Mexico. President Taft said that tho meeting was not necessary to strengthen the bonds of friendship. It merely typifies the Strength of the hond3 already exist ing. Less than a score of persons were permitted to witness the meeting of tho two Presidents. Even these wero Excluded later, when President Taft and President Diaz withdrew into an Inner room of the Chamber of Com merce Building, where the historic meeting occurred, and were attended only by Governor Creel, of tho State of Chihuahua, formerly Ambassador to the United State*, who acted as in terpreter. An interesting incident of the day was the - declaration, of neutrality over El Chamlzal territory, a part of the cl*.y of El Paso over which Mex ico is contending for sovereignty. El Chamlzal teriitory was formed when the Rio Grande Itiver took_one of its periodical spellB of contrariness and changed lt3 course a mil : or two to the westward. Tho contention of the American autlyiritles ig that this change was gradual and was duo to natural ac cretions from the American side. The Mexican authorities contend that the change was due to a sudden shift of courBc, and that the United States gained no additional territory by tho shifting of toe natural boundary line. The question is still In dispute, It was agreed between the Governments of Mexico and the United States that this territory, which lies on this side of the international bridge, should be regarded as neutral, and that neither the American nor the Mexican flag should anywhere be displayed In It. As President Dlas made fcjs,way through the Chamlsal to %islt Presi dent Taft the roadway was lined with American troops. As President Taft passed ovor the disputed ground to return the call the way was lined with Mexican soldiers. The ceremonies began when Presi dent Diaz, In a State carriage with gold hubs, gold-mounted doors, black horses and gay cockades, crossod the international bridge with an' escort of soldiers, The main body of Mex? Jcan troops was left behind at the entrance to the bridge, President Diss's carriage was driven at a smart pace through the Chamltal territory, to be met at the boundary by the American troops and by Secretary Dickinson. ' A salute of twenty-one guns was fired as President Dlas stepped from his own csrriage into one provided by the American authorities. With an escort of two squadrons and three batteries of American field artillery, the visiting Prestdent was taken at double quick time through tho streets of the city to the Cham ber of Commerce Building, where President Taft awaited him. President Dlax wore full dress unl-. form. Gold lace was at his throat and ou his cuffs, and a broad gold sash was around his waist. On hla left breast many decorations glit tered. All alorig the llne;0f march Prestdent Dlas was cheered by the crowds. With plumed chapeau In hand, he acknowledged the greeting with bows to left and right.. Secre tary Dickinson rode beside him and an aide occupied the forward seat in the carriage. . _ President Taft and President Dlax chatted with each other through an interpreter abd. appeared to find re lief in the fact, that over their meal at least they could exchange a few informal remarks. President Taft left El Pako for 8an Antonio and Pireeldent Dlas pulled out of Juarez for the City of Mexico. Quinine Kills Baby.

HORSE'S mi FAILS HE DUES II) TOMBS Unanimous Opinion of United States Court Upholds Verdict FINANCIER GETS 15 , YEARS Former Ice King Returns (o Prison? g Kiit iiopr la In the Olementr of the President, Who lies* the Pow er of Perdon, New York City. ? Charles AVi Morse, financier and former Ice King, lost hla appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals from the Judgment of the lower court thijt he he imprisoned at hard * labor for fifteen yearn in the Federal prison in Atlanta for Juggling with the bookB and cash of tho National nank of North America, lfo is hack in the Tombs now, having surrendered him self to United States Marshal Ilenkel immediately after the unanimous ad verse decision had been handed down. He slept in his old cell there, Un less the United Stages Snoreipe Court Intervenes In his behalf ho will be compelled to servn fifteen veara, which practically will mean the rest of his life. Martin W. Littleton, counsel for Morse, apnlled to the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals at once for a stay of execution for forty davs, pending application to the United States Sunreme Court for a writ of certiorari, tho object being to carry the case up to the highest court in the Isnd for final review, it was granted, but the question of Ad mitting tho banker to bail was left ooen. If tho United States Sunreme Court derides against Morse nothing can savo him from dolus: time excent a pardon from tho President of the United States. , Morse was asked If he had anvthiug to bay to the public about his ill-for tune. * "Naturally I am disappointed that the Circuit Court of Appeals did not reverse the JudKpjeaL^ftk^eiHowMfc court." he replied. ,"but I reinsure that the Suorome Court will not. tin hold to-day's decision, and that I will get another trial. I am not cast down or discouraged. On tho con trary. I expect to remain cheerful and confident, and, so far as I am allowed any liberty, I will continue to use all my efforts to repav thosi who are supnosed to have suffered through me and my acts." Passing to the false entry tee stock counts, on all ten of which Morse was convicted, the Cu.ui. said: . "We neo no escape from th? propo sition that if the defendants were properly convicted on two of these counts the Judgment must be sus tained. Count No. 3B, for instance, charges that on December 8, 1905. tho defendant. b?ing vice-president of tho. National of Vorth Amer ica, unlawfully, knowlnglv and fraud ulently did wilfully make in a book of? the bank known as 'Call Loans,' on page No. 5188, a certain entrv as follows: 'Dnvlson<-Brown, 114.71J.S5. 6 Dec. 8. 1905, 4000 Am. Ice. Feey. Com.;' that ^his entry purported to show and did In substance indicate that a loan in the amount of $114. 712.85 had been wado bv the bank to Davison Brown, with 4 000 ohares of Amerlran Ice Companv as security; that said *?ntry was false, first, be cause no loan in that air mnt had bean made to Davison Ei awn by the bank, and, second, that 4000 shares of Ice ctock hhd not be?n placed as security for that loan, but wero in fact the property of the bank. "That false entry was made by the defendant with Intent to Injure and defraud the bank and its shareholders and to deceive the other officers of the bank and any af?nt appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency to examine the affairs of the said hank. "The broad fundamental questions underlying several of these counts were: Who owned the lea stock, the bank or Morse? 'If the bank owned 14. was this fact concealed by false en tries In the books and reports made by the dlrectton or procurement of the defendant?' These propositions were clearly and fairly stated by the Court, and the jury was- repeatedly Informed that the crucial question fop It to determine was who owned the stock, and they were told again and again that if Morse was the real owner he must be acquitted, The finding of the Jury that the bank owtied the stock carried with it, al most as a matter of course, the other ingredients of a crime. It cannot be maintained . that the entries were consistent with such ownership and the Jury was Justified in find not only that they were false, but were made with intent to conceal the true situation, so that the only question Is whether thera was any evidence to submit to tho Jury, or if there were, whether it would hava been error to have granted a motion for the direc tion of a verdict for the defendant." Regarding the counts charging false reports to the Comptroller of the Currency the opinion of tho court says: "The motives which actuate men can be ascertKilTed only by a scrutiny of their acts. One who passes a coun terfeit coin knowing It to be counter* felt, and receives valqe in return, t? not permitted to say that he did the act with Innocent intent, and the same rule applies to the crlmes.vwe are now consldeving. . "A bank officer whq wilfully mis applies the funds of (he bank or who makes or causes to be made a false entry In its books, knowing It to be false, cannot be allowed to say that he did the act Innocently, HISTORIC CANONCTIET BUllKKD.

William Sprague, war Goverbov of Rhode Island and former United BUtea Senator, who built the place, and hla wife, had narrow aacapaa from death in the blase. "The misapplication of Its fundi necessarily tends to Injure or defraud the bank, and ho who commits the act cannot escape a natural Inference which flows therefrom. Bo, too, as to a false sn|ry, such an eutry Is cal culated to deceive, und ho who utade it, or cauaed it to ho made fcnowlngly, cannot avoid the inevitable vreauuip tiou." Morse's career hAs been remarkable almost from the beginning. Tie was born at Bath, Me., in 18&6, was grad. uated from Bowdoln College before he was twenty, and then, as ho once said to a friend, made up Ilia mind "to make 14,000,000, and I don't care where 1 get It." Morse made a considerable fortune In Maine and then bought into the steamship lines, coming to this city in 1885. H? road* his alliances here with the old Tammany leadera, and ten yoars later he was cheek by Jowl wllh tbeio at >vork formiEg his Ice trust. Into which such men as ex Mayor Van Wyck and .Tohn P. Carroll were invited. Morse and the lato Charles T. Bar ney were men who appealed strongly to each other, and the two became as sociated in many enterprises of a more or les? speculative character. Barney had his trust company ? tho Knickerbocker? to help him out, and Morao oventually conceived the idea that he. too. would go Into tho bank ing business so as to be a-ire to bavo ready cash bandv when he needed It. Then, came Heinre and the Thom ases into New York's financial hori zon, and not long afterward tbo Morfr-Helnze-Thonjaa chain of banks wan flxeri up. including the National Bank of North America, the Mercan tile National, the New Amsterdam National, and several State banks and trust companies.
