Aftor Alighting.
Philadelphia. May 23. Michael Lo
zika, seven years old, had the power to
speak kicked into him by a mule.
Several months ago the youngster

In a lot back of his home. A mule had
been turned out to graze and Michael
decided to examine his hind feet.

ehould not be considered as depositors
in the distribution of funds.
The banks contended that they were
entitled to preference, as they had
checks Issued by the company in pay
ment of checks Issued against deposits
In its possession. The banks appealed

CHARLES W. MORSE IS HOME.
Ice King, Paroled as Dying Man, Ap
parently All Right.
New York. May 23. - Charles W.
Morse returned from a stay of three
months in Europe greatly improved in
health. Ho Is almost the Morse of the
days before he got Into financial dif
ficulties which led to his imprisonment
in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta,
from which he was paroled by Presi
dent Taft.
When Morse was released from pris
on he was carried out, and when he
left New York on Fob. 14 last ho could
not walk without asslstnuce. He was
quite nimble in making his way about
the ship and pier. A slight but noticea
ble limp had nothing to do with his
Illness, for that limp has been part of
Morse's movements for many years.
Morse and his wife were on tho pas
senger list as "Mr. and Mrs. Morris."
Ho said this listing was tho fault of
the booking agent in Paris. The ac
commodations on the ship were en
gaged by telephone and the spelling
of the name was phonetic. After
reaching the ship Mr. Morse, finding
himself booked as Morris, saw no rea
son to disclose his real Identity, which
was not known even to tho purser.
