RODDA, Kext Door to the Fruit Btore, Elm btreet, liooests, Fa. CHAS. W. MORSE A FREE MAN Taft Commutes Sentence of the Convicted Banker. CIVIL RIGHTS STILL LOST Action Based on Attorney General Wlckersham's Recommendation and Surgeon General Tor ney'a Report. Washington. On the recommenda tion of the Attorney General, based on a report from the surgeon general of the army, the President commuted the sentence of Charles W. Morse, to expire at once. The New York bank er, - who was sentenced to prison for fifteen years for misapplication of the funds of the National , Bank of North America, is therefore a free man, but his physical condition la such that it Is doubtful whether he will survive more than a few mouths. The commutation, unlike a pardon, does not restore Morse's civil rignts. The White House statement grant ing freedom to Morse follows: The President commuted the sen tence of Charles W. MorBe, to expire at once. This action was taken upon the recommendation of the Attorney General, based upon the following re port of Surgeon General Torney: "A careful review of reports makes It clear to my mind that he is suffer ing from a combination of diseases, due to degenerative changes, which are Incurable and progressive. The reports show that both the conditions of the kidneys and the heart are grow ing worse. I regard the attack of car diuc dyspnoea, or heart block, from which he suffered on the morning of the 15th lust., as an ominous occur rence. In my opinion the prisoner's duration of life will be in all probabili ty less than one month If kept in con finement, and In the event of his re lease under commutation of sentence it Is not probable that he will live aa long as six months." Designated as a special messenger by the Attorney General's office, Mrs. Morse left Washington immediately for Atlanta, bearing her husband's commutation papers. "I Am Glad," Says Morse. Atlanta. "I am glad to hear the news" was the only comment made by Charles W. Morse when Informed by the post surgeon at Fort McPherson that President Taft had commuted his sentence. It was uttered In a weak volco, which carried little or no ela tion, for he realized that no mortal authority could release him from the clutches of incurable disease. Bath Burns Red Fire. Bath. Me. This town worked up rreat enthusiasm in celebrating the release of Charles W. Morse, a son of Bath, when the news of the Presi dent's action reached here. In certain circles the Joy was sincere, and all who believed him Innocent and others. siinuly glad that he had been turned loose, made up paradeB and hired bands and burned red fire. CHEER SALUTE TO FLAG. Simple Act Causes Change of Feeling In Lawrence. Lawrence. Mass. A simple little act performed In accordance with mili tary regulations had the effect of oil poured on troubled waters in the tex tile strike here. There had been no disorder but there were more Jeers than cheers for the militiamen who are patrolling the streets. During a parade or lu.uuu strikers an American flag carried by the strik ers was solemnly saluted by the sol era was saluted by the soldiers. Great was the astonishment of the latter when the marchers, instead of hooting at them, set up a rousing caeer. Throuehout the line of march, which covered about five miles of slush-filled streets, the temper of the paraders seemed happy, and cheering was fre- nnent. At least 1.000 of the crowd were women, and it is said that forty- five natonaltes were represented in the line. MISS EDMANDS IN HOSPITAL. Rlcheson's Fiancee Patient In a Phlla delphla Institution.

HONORED WITH EDISON MEDAL George Westinghouse Again Re ceives Highest Distinction. HE IS A WORLD AUTHORITY In Development of Electric Current Hit New Field It Commercial- . 1th Many Expertt Delv ing Therein. Pittsburgh, Pa. For his meritori ous achievements in connection with the development of the alternating current system for electric "ght and power, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers has awarded George Wesilnghouse the Edison gold medal. This action of the country s foremost scientific electrical body wus determined by the board of direc tors at a recent meeting. The distinction couferred upon Mr. Wesiinshouse is an especially note worthy one. For a long time the world's authorities on things electric al have been studying and experi menting on the mysteries of the alter nating current, with a view to intro ducing their discovei ies Into Indus trial practice. All or the great elec trical plants have, and are now em p'oying experts to delve into the al ternating current, for in tins direction, it Is said, lies new lklds in electric commercialism. The great Edison, himself tUh.t'Kli mainly employed on types of storage batteries, baa ex perimented in this field. Mr. Westinghouee is a recognized world authority on things mechanical and electrical. Some years ago the Italian government conierred upon him the Order of the Crown of Italy, and Belgium has decorated him with the Ord?r of Leopold. In this coun try the John Fritz medal was award ed him. VETERAN NEWSPAPERMAN DEAD Major Christman Published First Pa per in Washington County. Washington, Pa.

Hope of executive clemency that has thus far buoyeu up C.areuc.e V. T. Richeson, confessed murderer of his sweetheart, Avis Lin nell, has been abandoned by the min ister's counsel and few remaining friends, and it is now altogether pi'ob able that the preacher will meet death on May 19 in the electric chair. Governor Foss, in pleading for a commutation of the death sentence of Silas Phelps', to be put to death on the week of January 21, ascertained that seven of the nine members of the executive council believed in enforc ing the death penalty so long as it re mains on the statute books. This Btanding will not be changed, it ap pears, when the Richeson case is brought up, and there is a possibility that the governor may not bring the matter up. Richeson will not be told .that there is no hope until about May 9 or 10. Pittsburgh Firm Wint Contract. Fairmont, W. Va.

CROP IS SHORT WORLD OVER Record Prices Due to Shortage of 80, 000,000 Butheli in United States Farmers Holding for Higher Prlcet Want Tariff Reduced. New York. High record prices for potatoes prevail in all of the produce markets of this country, due to the shortage in the crop of 1911. Whole salers are receiving on an average of $3.50 a bag for state, western and Maine potatoes, against an average price of $1.60 a year ago and $1.45 in 1910. Long Island potatoes are sell ing from $4.00 to $4.50 a barrel, com pared with $1.25 1.50 last year. Farmers are asking all the way from 60 cents to $1.00 per bushel and are holding out for $1.50 in some quarters. In former years 40 cents per bushel was considered a fair aver age price. The estimated shortage of the crop is about 80,000,000 bushels, caused by the climatic conditions of the past sea son. The situation would be even worse should this country not be in a position to draw supplies from abroad. Importations of potatoes during the past week were over 60,000 bags, and fully 100,000 bags arrived during the previous week. These imported goods tend to bold prices down to some ex tent, but, according to authorities in the trade, the consumers are not re ceiving the full benefit of this influx of foreign potatoes, due to the com paratively heavy duty of about 25 cents per bushel, to which they are subjected. It Is estimated that potatoes would be Belling as high as $4.00 aud $5.00 per bag of 180 pounds in the whole sale market were it not for the foreign supplies, the bulk of which are arriv ing from the British Isles. English potatoes are selling as high as $2.90 a bag of 168 pounds. A bill is to be introduced in Con gress asking for a reduction of the tariff on potatoes, or abrogating it for at least three months, until the new crop from the South is due to arrive. Germany has already taken this step to reduce the cost to the consumer. It is argued that a reduction of the tariff would not hurt the American farmer to any great extent, and would be an immediate benefit to consumer. Receipts at New York were compara tively small during the past few weeks. Farmers are said to be hold ing back shipments in anticipation of even higher values during the next three months. ENGLISH SPEAKERS IN STRIKE. Weavers' Trouble In Lawrence Now Spreads Thousand More Out. Lawrence, Mass. English speaking operatives in the woolen mills here to the number of more than 1,000 met and voted unanimously to Btrlke and join the Industrial Workers of the World, the organization which Is di recting the fight for increased wages. This action is regarded as signifi cant, as It is believed that the loss of their most skilled operatives will do much toward shutting up some of the mills completely. Seven hundred more of the Arling ton mills employees struck, and there were small additions from other estab lishments to the ranks of the unem ployed.

SIXTY DEER FOB THE PRESERVES Animals Ordered By Commis sion Being Trapped MICHIGAN SPECIES THE BEST Fair Rate of Increase expeoted Com missioners Intention That Each Sportsman May Have Hit One Deer Per Year. Harrisburg, Pa. From Marquette, Mich., comes the information that the first consignment of the white-taiied deer ordered some time since by the Pennsylvania State Game Commis sion will be shipped early In Februa ry. The deer are being trapped on the game preserve of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Mining Company, on Grand Island, Lake Superior. There are 60 In the lot to be sent to Penn sylvania. New York is getting 20 of the same deer. Theie will be 25 does and five bucks In the llrst shif ment, which will be duplicated a few weeks later. The deer are Intended to replenish the fast-diminishing stock in this state and were ordered some months ago from the Michigan preserve not only because of the unusual size of the animal in that state, but because they were bought for $20 a head, whereas $10 is demanded by almost every other deer region in the coun try. Bucks of th;s Michigan white tailed Bpecies often attain, a weight of between 300 and 4i0 pounds, and they are remarkably handsome ani mals. The deer are Intended for the state's game preserves in Perry and Westmoreland counties. Of the 10, Olio acres of forest preserves in West moreland county, 2,500 have been pre pared und Bet aside in which to turn loose these Mich.gau importations. It is expected that they will increase at a fair rate, and it is the desire of the commission that every man with the inclination and the steady aim may have one deer each year granted hint by the state law. About two years ago 23 deer wcere turned loose in the Monto Alto pre serves, on which grounds is also lo cated the State's Tuberculosis Sani tarium. As showing the gratifying increase of the animals, it is record ed that a Slate Game Commission at tache counted VS deer on this preserve only a few weeks ago. OHPHANS GET BIG ESTATE.

HTS MM IMPROVED To Urge the Completion of Route 15, Which Runs From Towanda to New York State Line, as Soon as Possible. Harrisburg. The board of pardons heard a case of a sort which does not frequently come up, a plea being made for a pardon for Thomas Gallagher, who has served a year of an 18-inonth sentence In Philadelphia for fraudu lent voting. No denial was made to Gallagher's guilt nor any allegation that there has been a miscarriage of justice, the plea being based solely on the grounds that Gallagher is se- rioiiBly ill with tuberculosis and has no chance of recovery in prison. Another unusual Incident was the appearance of the Rev. C. K. Iiotsford, Berwick, In behalf of Ward Ketchem. The minister is not a lawyer and is the only one to represent Ketchem. For stealing something like $"0 worth of wheat, Ketchem was sentenced to 30 years in the penitentiary because he had served two previous terms for larceny.
