THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1913. PAGE THREE HARRISBURG LETTER The groundwork has been laid for the final action In the prcsont legis lature for and against equal suffrage when the Senate Committee on Ju diciary General reported to the Sen ate tno Hocicwcll Joint resolution proposing to submit to the voters of the stato an amendment to the state constitution so that women may vote as well as men. It was a red letter day In the Pennsylvania campaign, for It seems that tho Pennsylvania Woman Suf frage Association has overcome ob stacles which, six weeks ago, the op position said were unsurmountable. It was brought home to the Senators of the Committee that the day has gone by for "smothering in commit tee' important public bills and though the Antls worked hard to have tho bill pigeon-holed, the ma jority of tho Senators wore unwilling to permit such reactionary methods. An Important conference was held at state Suffrage headquarters in tho Arcade building at Harrlsburg on Wednesday of last week, tho day af ter the Senate Judiciary General committee held its open hearing on the Ilbckwell resolution. It was tho hearing on Tuesday, in fact, which lead to the conference on Wednes day. The conferees were tho presidents or their representatives from local suffrage associations throughout the state, the chairman of tho meeting being Mrs. Prank M. Roesslng, pres ident of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association. The local suf frage associations represented at the meeting are affiliated with or auxil iary to the state association of Penn sylvania. The meeting transacted little busi ness of public importance, being in the nature of a "clearing house" where the women could exchange Ideas. The conference began at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning and end ed late in the afternoon, the con ferees being guests of Mrs. Roessing at luncheon early in the afternoon. Tho women present besides tho state president, were as follows: Mrs. Max well Chapman, of Scranton; Mrs. R. Hays, of Carlisle; Mrs. E. P. Burns, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Jesse Holmes, of Swarthmore; Mrs. M. C. Jones, of Harrisburg; Mrs. K. B. Van Pelt, of Nowhope; Mrs. A. S. Hauck, of Me chanlcsburg; Mrs. H. Neely Flem ing, of Erie; Miss Mary E. Bake well, of Pittsburg; Mrs. Robert K. Young, of Wellsboro. Suffragists are continuing to urge each other to make sure that their respective Senators are ready to vote for the Rockwell resolution when it comes up in tho Senate on final pas sage. "We can only repeat what we said before," is the way tho situa tion is put by Miss Mary Norcross, Scretary of tho Pennsylvania Wom an Suffrage association. "No true advocate of equal suffrage will take anything for granted. Mako sure that your Senator intends to vote for the Rockwell resolution. Do not ac cept the word of anyone else that he is prepared to do so, but make It your business to obtain his promise personally. MAPLEWOOD. Maplowood, March 27.

In her most unusual entertainment in which beautiful kinemacolor pic tures were shown, Miss Lillian Rus sell, who, in private life is Mrs. Moore, pleased her audienco in tho Majestic Theatre, Philadelphia, ono night last week, whore she delivered her instructive lecturo on "How To Live to be 100 and 'Die Young." There was a surprising number of people there who showed their eager ness to keep young and to learn how to bo beautiful, and even tho men In tho audience seemed to throw off many years when the beautiful Miss Russell let them in on tho secret about the 100-year game. Miss Russell says tho normal per son sleeps eight hours out of twenty-four, one-third of a day. and that consciousness is entirely suspended during this time. If you aro 100 years old, subtract one-third of tho number of years from them, or the time spent in sleep, and there you are only a little past GG which is young Indeed, for the Bible allows you tho three score and ten. Many practical methods and il lustrations for keeping beautiful in face and body wero given by tho ac tress, but the keynote for success in this ambition Is to keep the mind beautiful.

PARDONED TO DIE C. t HOUSE Ex-Convict Who Had Only Year to Live Returns For Pot of Gold. IIAULES W. MORSE, with his financial citizenship boasting tho cover of two flags while ho has no citizenship himself, nrrlved In New York recently on n fast ocean liner to resume his gigantic operations just one year and two months after the doctors at the federal prison at At lantn, Ga., solemnly felt his pulse and said he would die in one year. It was Jan. 10, 1912. that the board of physi cians, headed by Dr. A. L. Fowler, con sulted that medical horoscope Morse then possessed nnd decided that tho stars had doomed him within n twelve month. Upon tho veracious word of Dr. Mar chiafavn, physician to his holiness Pope Plus X.. the little wizard of ice, ships nnd banks is just as sound as n dollar and had no evidence of willingness to accept the sentence of tho doctors whose reports led President Taft to parole Morse that he might die out of prison. While the doctors are feeling his pulse today to see just how much of a laugh the financier can enjoy at tho expense of forecast and medical pre diction, aged one year, Morse is feeling of the ticker with the free hand aud preparing to give a demonstration of the art of coming back. Finance Interested. There Is intense interest in the finan cial district over the return of Morse. The interest not only extends to finan cial circles, but it lias n keen nngle in the direction of international politics which shoots off from the question of the number of pulse beats Mr. Morse enjoys to the minute to a discussion of ihe nice points of treaty law and Inter national agreements relating to the most important subject known to world powers the traillc of the sea. While this man is under a sen tence of death, which he politely but none the less firmly declines to accept as conclusive, ho lias been Industrious ly harnessing up British cnpltal to American shipping, especially in rela tion to the coastwise trade of tho United States, nnd with nn eye ahead to tho opening of the Panama canal, with Its vast possibilities for the coast wise ships. Just at tho very time when, accord ing to the doctors, Morse ought to have been making his last will and testa ment, arranging for tho small lawn with tho marble marker nnd the sort of flowers that look best in n subdued light, to say nothing of tho names of the pallbearers, active and honorary, ho got as busy as a bird dog in a now sagefleld over in London and pointed out to John Bull the desirability of getting "In with a live one" In the shipping game. And England, marveling at tho view of tho American doctors, decided that Morse was a "live one" and "got In." Backed by British Capital. They "got In" to the extent of pro viding the financial sinews of war for a good part of tho Morse operations that are yet to come and came back with the absolute assurance that when he opened his rolltop desk nt No. 43 Exchange place, New York, ho would have the chips and the cards for a new game with tho big forces that, In 1007, put him so severely out of business. Tho remarkable part of his feat Is that ho got tho foreign support at a time when wars nnd rumors of war had made folk In Europe stick tighter to their coin than Dr. Frledmann nt first did to tho secret of his tuberculosis germ culture. Evidently tho London bankers did not expect that Morse would drop by tho wayside. Nor does a term In nn American penal institution have any bad effect upon tho English flnancjal mind. The late Charles T. Yerkcs had no trouble In getting big English in terests behind him In his London tube and other enterprises in spite of the TO WED, MUST BE HEALTHY. Minister Demands Proof of Fitness From All He Unites. The Rev. Hugh Dempsey Wilson, rec tor of St Gec-rgo's Episcopal church, Passaic, N. J., announced recently that he would refuso to marry persons who could not show medical certificates at testing their mental and physical fit ness for wedlock. "Tho world's troublo Is a vast pyra mid whose baso is the number of mis fit matches and consequent miserable homes," said Dr. Wilson. "Clergymen have frequently dcbasedthelr function by a willingness or eagerness to marry my ono to any ono else, whether known to them or not If society un happily cannot regulate tho quantity of blrth3 it can ut least make an hon est attempt to improvo tho quality. "I believe that the church of which I am n clergyman will very soon enact a law requiring medical certificates for marriage and prohibiting the clergy man from marrying pcoplo in the ab wnen of such certificates." OUT OF FUSES TO DIE Wizard of Finance Has Cap ital to Float Great Coast wise Shipping Line. o-.- handicap of being a "ticket of leave man." Morse found that his post graduate course in Wall street Unnnce, taken in tho Atlanta penitentiary, did not hurt his business chances in the slightest. The situation Is brilliantly illuminat ing to the men who for days have been discussing tho case of the prisoner who went back to jail for life because he could not get a chance as an ex convict. It shows how, it all depends on tho man. after all, and that stone walls do not n prison make nor iron bars a cage if the fellow inside doesn't see it that way and can consequently Impress tho fact on others. But one month ago Dr. A. L. Fowler, who recommended the Morse pardou. said of him: "He Is a doomed man. He Is no nearer complete recovery than he was a year ago. when ho was pardoned." Smiled at "Doom." Said doomed man, looking over his agreements with the men of English money as the liner hurried alonR across the ocean, must have smiled. Just what Morse has up his sleeve is not entirely understood by Wall street. Careful perusal of tho financial dis trict's pet organs shows that during the last six months he lias boon cred ited with being the uiovlug factor In every change of ownership in shipping lines of the coastwise order that has been made In tills country. Tho plans he holds are said to in elude a line of ships that will operate from New York to the north, taking in Boston and Maine ports nnd placing them in communication with Canada To tho south ho has in mind the estab lishment of n line from Now York to Panama, taking advantage of the ca nal's opening to bring his ships into play as competitors with the Pacific roads A division that takes in the rapidly advancing and generally under estimated South American trade is also charged to bo in his scheme. Now tho South American trafllc is directed to Europe, and passengers coming from South American ports commonly arrive in New York via England and France. A Winning Combination. But it is the coastwise trade, with New York nt one end and Panama at tho other end, that chiefly interests the big folk of commerce. If is impossible to get the average man ami woman to stand hitched to any statement that has a technical ring. They shy from "differentials" and the "long nnd short haul clause," as though both contained some possi ble evil. But Morse, with his cunning for trade, knows that under the tech nique of transportation there lies n pot of gold greater than that supposed to be at tho foot of the rainbow and n "blawsted sight" more tangible and possiblo of development. But a few months ago tho interstate commerce commission put out n beau tifully illustrated document on freight rates, with pictures thnt looked like tho weather map in a stormy period or a flock of typhoid germs having a holi day. Tho statements nnd the maps showed how much the roads could add to tho cost of carrying freight from New York to various zones on out to tho coast With active water competition through tho canal and Morse nt the busy end of tho marine wire, there is no telling what will happen to tho pic tures with tho isothermal lines and to tho operating revenuo that is based upon the zigzag art of the commission. Thnt is why Morse, the condemned man, is of such vital Interest as he comes back to live where ho had been scheduled to bo occupying a short and narrow residence by tills time. In spite of nil this, Morse is not a citizen. He lias not tho privilege of the corner bootblack of running nround to tho voting stand in the barber shop and voting for the candidate of his choice. BRYAN DEFENDS HIS HORSE. Incidentally Says He's Twenty Pounds Short of "Gentleman." William J. Bryan's news announce ment recently wns that his riding horse would In due tlmo bo sent to Washington. Ho said ho hoped Washington would judgo tho animal compassionately as what might seem a good horse in Ne braska might not aspire to the first rank nt tho capital. To glvo some idea of the slzo of his horse Mr. Bryan said ho did not llko to say what his own weight was; but, quoting Tom Reed's remark "that no gentleman ever weighs over 200," he Would say that he was about twenty pounds short of being a gentleman.
