MUST SERVE TIME
Federal Circuit Court Sustains Verdict in
the Case of Morse
WHO GOES BACK TO CELL
Only the Ppcsidpnt or tlx? VniUtl
States Supreme C^ourt Can Now
Save the Former Ire King, Steamship
Lino Organizer, Hunker ami
Capitalist fiDin Serving.
Unless the Supreme Court of the
United States reverses the decision,
or the President of the United States
interferes. Charles W. Morse, of New
York, one time "Ice king," coastwise
steamship nne oir.anizer, banker ana
capitalist, will serve fifteen years at
hard labor in the Federal prison
at Atlanta, Ga.
After having been at liberty under
1125,000 bail since June 17, last
he is back in the Tombs prison,
where he contemplates the decision
of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals,
rendered Monday, sustaining j

juuhiiiuuv vjl vhc r I'UI'I ill
Court, which found him guilty In
November last of violating the nat-l
ional banking laws.
There was solace in the decision
of the court of Appeals, however, in
that only ten of the fifty-three indictments
on which he was convicted
were sustained, and on the strength
of this, his counsel, Martin \V. Littleton,
will immediately carry the
case before the United States Supreme
Court on a writ of certiorari.
To this end the United States Court
of Appeals has granted a forty days
stay of execution and pending a
decision by the Supreme Court, application
will he made to have the
prisoner again admitted to bail.
Morse took the decision calmly,
though he was plainly grief-stricken
and surprised. Mrs. Morse was with
her husband in the marshal's office
during the entire morning. When
word came that the decision was
against him she said:
"All along we had the utmost confidence
that a new trial would be
granted. The decision came as a
surprise to us. But my husband is
j brave and he will continue to struggle
for his liberty."
One of Morse's keenest regrets at
being forced to return to prison is
the Interruption of his beaver-like
struggle to rebuild his fortunes.
Since his liberation under bail he
had been re-elected president of the
Metropolitan Steamship Company, a
New England corporation, and of

)s. He is credited with having discharged
the bulk of his debts. From
a the two big transportation linos that
i ' had within the week elected Morse
as their president, there was no official
statement forthcoming after
the decision. It was understood that
for the time being, at least, the elections
would stand.
JUMPS FROM TRAFX.
Prisoner Being Brought to North
Carol inn Kscapes,
With his two wrists handcuffed to\
gether, Edward King, alias Davis,
a negro convict, en route from I.)atine
mora, N. Y., to the North Carolina
State prison, leaped from the St.
I.ouls express on the New York Central
Monday and escaped in the fog.
L The warden of the North Carolina
prison, whose name is not known,
jumped from the train afterr his
prisoner, but was hurt. A heavy
fog hung over the railroad track at
the time and the convict was able
to make his way unobserved into
fl . the woods.
King, who is !if? years old, finished
a term in the State prison at
Dannemora Monday. On his discharge
he was taken into custody by
the warden of the North Carolina
prison from which he escaped several
years ago. At Tivoli, N. Y.,
the train slackened speed on account
of a block signal. The negro noticed
it, slipped out of his seat by the
side of the warden and tiptoed out
th? nlntform. He was able to
It open the door and jumped off, rolling
over and over.
By the time the warden had realized
what had happened and reached
the platform, the train was running
quite fast again, so that in jumping
he received much of a shock and
was quite badly cut and bruised.
I The negro was nowhere to be seen
in the fog and the officer was too
badly hurt to follow him. The train
was stopped and backed up, but the
warden declined to continue with it.
He made his way to the village and
told his story to the constable, who
organized a posse and began a search
w ^ for the convict who is supposed to
be hiding in the woods.

PRICE OF COTTON
RKING ASSAULTED BY THE GERMAN
MANUFACTURERS.
Their Claim That an Enormous
Amount \Va? Drought Over From
Past Year is Denied.
Henry S. Reed, editor of the Atlanta
Cotton Journal has isHiiiwl n
statement about the alleged large
stocks of that commodity carried
over and now held in reverse. Ho
says:
"Statements have been made relative
to the enormous stocks of cotton
carried over, etc. But the carry-over
shown by the following figures
for September 1, 189 8, and September
1, 1909, was but normal:
"Spinners stocks in Great Britain
on September 1, 1909, were 202,000
l^ales as against 2 7 7,000 bales on
September 1, a year ago, or an actual
shortage of 75,000 bales this year
as compared with last.
"Spinners stocks on the continent
of Europe September 1, 1909, aggregated
1,2 2 4,000 bales against 1 ,18
7.000, September one year ago.
This is an actual increase of 12 7,000
bales, making the increase in
foreign stocks September 1, 1909,
over September 1, 1908, 02,000 bales
or enough to run the continental

English mills live days. The English
mills used 80,000 bales per week
during August, 1909, and 60,000
bales during August, 1908. The
continental mills used 1 10,000 bales
per week during August, 1909, and
1 908. The total weekly consumption
abroad during August, 1 909, was
190,000 bales against 172,000 during
August, 1908." *
Iteming the ITioe of Clot ton.
Under the above caption the Columbia
State editorially discusses
the effort being made by the manufacturers
as follows:
Certainly intelligent and strenuj
ous efforts are being made to "bear"
the price ot" cotton. Already we have
I heard that if the present prices of
cotton are maintained that it will
be imperative that the Southern mills
close down?not on account of the
lack of cotton, be it known, but because
the high prices ou cotton leave
no margin of profit for the manufacturer
of the finished goods. Of
course it is true that high prices of
cotton do hit the Southern mills
harder than other mills because of
the fact that the Southern manufacturers
turn out as a rule the coarser
grade of goods, in which the element
of the first cost of cotton enters
more largely than in the liner grades
of goods.
Hut now the International Confer-I
enco of Cotton Spinners, ho we nre
told, at Frankfort, Germany, have
adopted these positive and painful
resolutions:
Whereas, all the Fupropean spinners
have expressed the opinion that
the large visible and invisible supplies
of cotton, together with tin?
prospective favorable Fast Indian and
Egyptian crops, will sullieo to cover
the requirements, even notwithstanding
the unfavorble outlook.
Therefore, it is urgently recommended
in view of the unusually high
price of cotton and the unremuneratlve
selling price of goods, that the
existing restrictions must ho maintained
and extended as far as possible.
Of course these resolutions may
have seen Frankfort or Wall street
l?and mnvhe both. - And of course
the information that the Egyptian
and Fast Indian cotton crops are
especially good will serve to alter
the tone of the American market a
whole lot?maybe. The Egyptian
and Fast Indian crops must have increased
a great deal in importance
since the last time cotton was picked.
In fact and soberly, there is every
reason why cotton will hold its present
price?unless Indeed it advances.
The outlook is for around an
eleven-million-bale crop, when a
thirteen-million-balo crop is' necessary
to keep the mills going and to
meet the demands of the spinners.
Under these circumstances it. is certainly
reasonble and almost inevitable
that the price of cotton will
he maintained?or advanced. That
Is the logic of the situation and a
dozen resolutions adopted at Frankfort
can not alter this logic of the
situation. If the farmers hold tight
for reasonable prices, if they refuse
to be scared by resolutions and by
reports of Fast Indian and Egyptian
cotton crops that have never no
lore arrectod markets of the world,
if they simply sit easy and rest upon
their oars, wo imagine that. In tho
end they will get the price that the
exigencies of supply and demand exercise.
It would certainly he interesting
to trace these Frankfort (0?ermany)
resolutions to their ultimate source.
Somehow, they have a touch to lis
of "Home, Sweet Home." *
Yeggmnn Caught.

Polo.
The following statement nf fnnu I 1
mandcr Robert E. Peary, which he j (
submitted to the Peary Arctic Club ! i
in support of his contention that Dr.
Cook did not reach the North Pole 1
is now made public for the first j
J
time:
Some of my reasons for saving that j
Dr. Cook did not go to the North j
Pole will be understood by those who j
road the following statements of the 1
two Eskimo boys who went with him,
and who told me and othors of my |
party where he did go. Several EsI
kimos who started with Dr. Cook j
from Anoratok in February, 1908, j
were at Etah when 1 arrived there j
in August, 19 *>8.
They told mo that Dr. Cook had i
with hiin, after they left, two Eskimo
boys or young men, two sledges j
and some twenty dogs. The boys!
were I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. I '
had known them from their childhood.
One was about eighteen and
the other about nineteen years of;
age.
On my return from Cape Sheri- I
dan and at the very first settlement ;
I touched (Nerko, near Cape Chalon ) j
in August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Ktah, the Eskimos told '
mo. in a general way, where Dr. 1
Cook had been: that he httd win-j
to red tn Jones Sound and that he I
had told the white men at Atah that j
he had been a long way north, but
that the boys who were with hint.
I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah, said
that this was not so.
The Eskimos laughed at Dr. Cook's
story. On reaching Btah, I talked
with the Bskimos there and with the
two boys and asked them to describe
Dr. Cook's journey to members of
my party and myself. This they did
in the manner stated below.
(Signed.) It. B. Peary.
Here is a synopsis of the statement
made by the Bskimo men to
Peary, and others of his party and
vouched for by them:
The two Bskimo boys, I-took-n- j
shoo and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied j
Cook while he was away from An- |
oratok in 1 P "?8 and 1900, were ques- |
tinned separately and independently,!
and were corroborated by Fanikpah,
the father of one of them (1-took-ashoo).
who was personally familiar!
with the first third and the last third
of their journey, and who said that |
the route for the remaining thirrl
as shown by them, was as described
to him by his son after his return
with Dr. Cook.
Notes of their statements were j
taken by several of us. and no one j
of us has any doubt that they told *
the truth.
Their testimony was unshaken by !
cross-examination, was corroborated!
by other men in the tribe and was I
elicited neither by threats nor prom- j
ises, the two boys and their father
talking of their journey anil their!
experiences in the same way that i
they would talk of any hunting
trip.
To go more into details. One of j
the hoys was called In, and, with a j
chart on the table before him. was
imkl'it tn nKnrfi V,.. '
V x, .nivn "11*1*. lie lltvu
with Dr. Cook. This he did, point-I
ing out with his finger on the map. j
but. not making any marks upon it. I
As ho wont out, tho othor hoy camo
in and was asked to show whore ho
had gone with Dr. Cook. This ho
did, also without making any marks,
and indicated tho same route and
tho same details as did the (irst
hoy.
When ho was through. Panikpah,
the father of l-took-a-shoo, a very in- j
telligent man, who was in the party :
of Eskimos that came back ffom Dr.
Cook from the northern end of Nansen's
Strait, who is familiar as a
hunter with the Jones Sound region,
and who has been in Commander
Peary's various expeditions for some
fifteen years, came in and indicated

the two hoys.
Then the first boy was brought in
a Rain, and with a pencil he traced
on the map their route, members of
our party writing upon the chart
where, according to the boy's state- j
ment .they had killed deer. bear,
some of their dogs, seal, walrus and
musk-oxen.
The second boy was then called in
and the two went over the chart together,
the second boy suggesting
some changes as noted hereafter.
Finally, Paniqpah, the father, was
again called in to verify details of
the portions of the route^ with which
he was personally familiar.
The hulk of the boys' testimony
was not taken by Commander Peary,
nor in his presence, a fact that obviates
any possible claim that they
were awed by him.

IHscovcml Scvonxl Lim!>s of Woman
in I>ress Suit Case in an Outlying
Portion of Tiverton, H. I.
The fmdinc of tho severed loss of
? woman 111 a uress suit case among
Bonio bushes in an outlying section j
:>f Tiverton, U. I., Monday brought I
to light what the authorities are convinced
is a case of murder. The
discovery of a New Bedford newspaper
of Sunday's date with the portions
of the limbs is regarded as the
most important clue thus far obtained,
indicating possibly the place of
the murder, if murder there was.
The authorities Monday night were
of the opinion that the woman was i
murdered in New Ih di'ord, that the |
legs were placed in the suit case
there and brought by team or automobile
to Tiverton Sunday night.
According to the medical examiner,
Dr. John Stimson, the supposed murder
was committed not more titan
twelve or fifteen hours before the
suit case was discovered.
That a murder was committed, and
that the cutting was not done by the
experienced hands of a surgeon or ;
by a medical student, is the belief
of the medical examiner, who says
that apparently a common handsaw
was used to sever the legs from th<*
trunk. A search for the other portions
of the body in the woods nearby
is being made.
The body might have lain undiscovered
for days had not a rural letter
carrier, (Joorge Potter, chanced to
ku iu 111? spui. I'oiier was musing
his rounds, passing along the road,
when he noticed three portions of
human legs aprtially wrapped in '
newspaper in the case. Later Investigation
by the medical examiner
showed that the suit case contained
the upper portion of a right leg,
that from the thigh to the knee, and
the entire left leg, cut in two pieces
at the knee.
The medical examiner, after taking
measurements of the limbs, estimated
that the woman (or girl)
probably was five feet, three Inches
high, and weighed perhaps 120
pounds. A large callous spot on
the bottom of tho foot indicated that
the girl was accustomed to walking
much or to standing, and suggested
that she may have been a working
girl.

In Minnesota, Where Many of Them
Hold OlTiee.
The late Governor Johnson, shortly
before his death, wrote for the
Youth's (Vm pan Ion an interesting
article dealing largely with the newspaper
man in ofllce. lie said that
it has often been observed that Minnesota
is "governed by the country
editor," and shows that the assertion
is not without good foundation.
Here is his partial summary of the
situation. "The governor, his private
secretary, and executive clerk
are country newspaper men; so are
the labor commissioner, the executive
a"eot of the game and ilsh
commission, the State oil inspector,
the State librarain, (he secretary and
assistant secretary of State, the assistant
labor commissioner, the State
fire warden, the assistant fire marshal,
the deputy public examiner, the
secretary of the dairy and food commission,
the assistant clerk of the
supreme court, the secretary of the
hoard of control. Hoth political parties
have recognized the capability
of the country editor for official position
from the earliest histerv of
the State, and he has always been
an active force in legislative councils
and in the minor places under
the national and State government.
Wants to Move Away.
A committee of three from the
Aiken city council has been appointed
to confer with Miss Mary V.
Kirk, the alleged leper, or her agents
in regard to the sale of her property
in the city of Aiken to the city authorities.
It is stated that Miss
Kirk desires to sell her property
and move away from Aiken.
Nothing can make a girl more indignant
than to treat her as a flirt
except to treat her as if she didn't
know how.
lines from the direct narrative of the
Eskimo boys were suggested by Commander
Feary to some of us, and
were put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later, Commander Peary asked
the Eskimo boys two or three
casual questions on minor points that
had occurred to him.
During the taking of this testimony,
it developed that I)r. Cook
had told these hoys, as he told Mr.
Whitney and Billy Prltchard, the
cabin hoy, that they must not tell
Commander Peary or any of us anything
about their journey, and the
hoys stated Dr. Cook had threatened
j them if they should tell anything.

As a result of the hurricane, who h
struck the southern coast o f Florida
Monday morning, Key West is a
mass of wreckage, and the da.tnage
to property is estimated at $2,000,000.
Martial law was proclaimed by
the mayor at 0 o'clock Monday and
the Key West (luards are patrolling
the city.
Chaos reigns on every hand, and
few people remain In their homes,
hundreds of which have eith? r been
totally wrecked or damaged. It
is impossible at this hour to say
whether there has been lo^s of life.
It is feared that many lives have
been lost along the coast.
The storm reached its height at I
o'clock Monday afternoon, when the
wind reached an estimated velocity
of one hundred miles an hour. There

centre of the hurricane had passed
this point.
While the hurricane is the worst
that Key West has ever experh need
the local weather observer announced
that the indications are that the
entire east coast of Florida will suffer
terribly.
Of one hundred local vessels in
the harbor Monday morning but five
remain at anchor, the others having
either gone to sea or been washed
upon the beaches. The streets along
the water front are a mass of wreckago.
Brick as well as frame buildings
throughout the city suffered alike
from the fury of the heavy wind,
and many miraculous escapes from
death or serious injury have been
reported.
Besides the several scores of residences
each totally wrecked or
blown from their pillars, nine factories
were partially destroyed, including
the Havana-American, Mar|

Lopez, Fleitas Torris, Cortez, and
Wolf cigar manufacturers.
No. 1 and No. 3 engine houses of

but several of the horses being
killed. The top of the First National
Flank was blown off, the postoftiee
damaged and two running gears of

{ wrecked.
lOvery telephone and electric light

I As soon as the wind had subsided
plundering began. The city police
I was unable to cope with the situaI

I Almost every nationality is rep reseated
among the city's population of

of whom are employed in the e?*ar

salvage companies.
l'ui|M>se of Store Advertising.
The purpose of store advertising
is not merely to sell goods, but to
sell more goods?to make friends,
: build up a patronage that will not
only stick hut grow. Newspapers
reach the greatest number of people
in the immediately vicinity in
the most natural way, at the least
expense, and they are therefore the
best of all mediums for stores. In
a newspaper you follow the lines of
least resistance?you follow with
the stream?you talk to an audience
already assembled, to the people
who want to read?their mental
cosmos is right- they are on your
wire, and they won't ring off if you
I hold tlvdr Interest. Attraction is
| the basis of all advertising?the
store is the sun, the customers the
; planets that revolve around it.
(Jive This a Trial.
Here is a puzzle (hat puzzles everybody:
Take the number of your Iivlng
brothers, double the amount, add
to it three, multiply by live, add to
it the number of your living sissers,
multiply the result hy the
add the number of deaths of brothers
and subtract 150 from the result.
The right tiguie will be the
number of deaths, the middle will
be the number of living sisters and
the left will show the number of
living brothers. Try it and see.

The live stock, industry in South

believed that there is considerable
money to be made along this line.
The report of the seventh annual

cheaper in Mouth Carolina than
in the section fixitn whence they ^
come.
"lietween 1880 and 1800 considerable
headway was made wiirt*tl%0
stock, the increase in value being
about $4,300,000. Tills rate of Increase
was kept up in the next, decade
after 1800, though not quite
so large. Between 1800 and 1904
the industry developed to such an
extent that the increase in value
was about $1 1,250,000. Then cane*
the best inc rease I hat we had sine*;
the Civil war in the two years between
1901 and 1900, when the
increase amounted to almost $10,250,000,
and 1900 gave us the maximum

ever had. During the year 1907
there was a decline in value as com-'
