(Special to Times-Recorder.)
New York, June 30.—Erwin E.
Morse, second son of Charles W.
Morse, the federal prisoner at At
lanta, whose wife Is making a fight to
obtatn his pardon by the president,
wa3 graduated from Yale last Wed
nesday In a class of which one mem
ber was a son of President Taft-
Young Morse Is a fine, large, manly
fellow with his father’s alert mind and
-New England temperament and tbe
body of a trained athlete. Next Thurs
day he will leave New York for the
wilds of Wyoming, where he is to be
gin life as a cowboy on a ranch thir
ty miles square.
Young Morse had the choice of com
mencing llf^ In New York, getting In
to some afflee and working his way up
the ladder. With bis father’s many
friends, he could have found ready ad
vancement, ha dhe chosen to become
a city man. Also the Morse family
In Maine, where be Is now, is opened
to a career similar to that followed on
the Kennebec by his father In his ear
lier years. But he made up his mind
that the West held out greater lu-
Sucements. He decided that the way
to learn the West was to begin at the
bottom step, and therefore he will start
a week from Thursday riding'a bronco
and herding cattle.
Heconsulted Mrs. Morse, and a week
ago she went to Atlanta to talk it
over with her husband. Though ne
was surprised that his son should
choose such a career he gave his full
consent.

AT REDUCTION OE $25
■ . ... ' '*•*<*
Roads Reduce the Rates
' Upon Peaches.
jAltlanta, Ga., July 2,—Announce
ment Is made by Manager Fleming of
the Georgia Fruit Exchange of notice
of the most sweeping reductions in
freight rates on Georgia fruit from
Amerlcus, Fort Valley and other
Georgia point to Interior points In
New York state and throughout Penn
sylvania. This reduction amounts to
about J25 a car. This another great
benefit the exchange, working as *
co-operative organization, has secured
that the individual growers were never
able to obtain.
In speaking of this great advant
age secured for the Georgia growers,
Manager Fleming said:
"I consider that this a great con
cession on the part of the transpor
tation lines and especially that we
were able to secure the reduction
through a conference rather than hav
ing to press through a case before
the commission.
"This Is only another evidence of
what the growers can accomplish by
co-operative work and shippers who
are not members of the Georgia Fruit
Exchange get the same benefits from
such concessions as members, all of
which should make them feel they are
not doing their part by the peach in
dustry of the state in failing to co
operate as members of tbe Georgia
Fruit Exchange.
“This concession was the result of
an open and candid discussion of the
merits of the case with traffic officials
of the Southern railway, and we fee!
under many obligations to them for
the fair treatment accorded us in this
matter.’-

of the work has been accomplished
and it will be but a short time before
It will be ready for use. The structure
Is of Grecian archlteaiurs, having an
area of 133 feet by 32 feet high at the
highest point. It Is of solid concrete,
with the exception of the Interior
lining, which Is of marble, adopted for
Its decorative effect. There Is a main
aisle runlng ithrough the centre of the
building, which gives access tp four
hundred crypts. Tbo building Is situ
ated at Brooklyn Heights Cemetery.
Most Costly of Its Kind.
The Detroit edifice will be much
larger. It will be located In Roseland
Park Cemetery and will be far the
largest and most cosily structure pf
tbe kind ever erected. Its lines are
Roman and It Is three stories In height
A central aisle extends the length of
the building Jo tbe roof and the side
aisles are but one Story high. All of
these passage ways are lined with
crypts so that It will be seen that
this establishment has a great ca
paclty.
A smaller edifice of this kind is near
lng completion In one of the cemeteries
of Philadelphia.
Both of-ithese structures are alike in
the respect that they are entirely of
concrete. In the latter instance, the
exterior and Interior are very ornate
and nearly all of the ornamentation of
concrete.
During the present summer, one of
these mausoleums Is to be built at
Springfield, Ohio, near the tomb of
Lincoln and another at Zearing, Ohio.
Others have been recently completed
at Watertown, N. Y-, Shelby, Ohio,
Maroa, Illinois, and Attica, Ohio.
