E TAKES STAND
IN HIS OWN BEHALF
NEW YORK. Oct. 29.—Chaa. W.
Morse, who. with Alfred H. Curtis,
former president of tho National Bank of
North America. Is on trial in the crimi
nal branch of the United States circuit
court on a charge of conspiracy and
violation of the national banking laws,
took the stand In his own defense today.
Mr. Morse related how he catfie to
havo an Interest In the'National Bank of
North America, saying that he secured
an Interost In the consolidation in 1902.
Mr. Morse said that he was not'a sala
ried officer of the bank and knew noth
ing of the legal exactions covering na
tional banking. The financier then told
of forming the acquaintance of Mr. Cur
tis and Mr. Wire. "I had confidence
In them and used my Influence to have
them made president and cashier of the
bank." said Mr. Morse. Mr. Morse testi
fied that he knew nothing of tho bank’s
method of bookkeeping, and admitted
that he saw the bank's loan sheets only
a few times each year.
"My secretary. Kate A. Wilson..and
my former secretary. Arthur Bruun, at
tended to my personal and private af
fairs,” said the witness. "Miss Wilson
kept my bank account straight.”
Mr. Morse said that he had been con
nected with the American Ice Company
"since its formation in 1898 or 1899.”
The company was Ahen paying divi
dends. the witness Testified:' aid dealt
In natural Ice. A^difference In the do-
3 and came In 1902. he said, and artlfl-
sl Ice was all the market wanted.
That effected a change In the business,
of the company. This line of questioning
finally led up to the point of the loans
made to John F. Carroll by the National
Bank of North America amounting to
S185.000 at one time. Ho said these loans
were secured by 40.000 shares of Ice
stocks. Mr. Morse told of a. nlan to buy
half of the Carroll stock at $80 a share
and give the bank the nroflt of thh deal.
Then he purchased 4.000 shares of Ice
stock, he said, at $40 a share for Mrs.
Gelshen.

Col. R. M. Thompson, a former director
of the National Bank of North America,
was also on the stand and Attorney Gen
eral-8 tim son asked him If the bolding

had not been characterised as a trust.
"An evening newspaper has ao charac

This store and the people in it are for service—your service—not what we want, but what you want.
A big store filled with goods of the best quality we can find—you can see in a clear light what you’re
buying. The prices are fair to both of us—your profit is as important as ours—and as big as ours. We
try to make you sure of it—by saying: At any time if you are not satisfied with what you get—get your
money back.
We make a special feature of Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes be
cause they represent in the highest degree the spirit and idea of our
business. These makers are one of the very few in the country who
maintain a strictly all-wool standard of fabrics. Their line offers us a
greater variety of weaves, colors and patterns than any two or three
lines in the country. In fine tailoring, in finish, and in freshness of cor
rect style, they are easily first among clothes makers-and we have the
pick of their product. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t offer our
customers the best in the market. We offer Hart Schaffner & Marx
Clothes because they’re the best—our styles and patterns are exclusive.
A part of our service idea has to do with hard-to-fit men—large, fat men—tall, slender men—who
have always bepn obliged to have clothes made to measure. We fit them—we’ve got the sizes for it—and
the expert fitters who can do it. One trial here will prove it—and save you a lot of good money.
Other good makes of clothing are sold by this store. Prices begin
at $10.00—you are welcome to inspect them.

CUT THE TREE DOWN
WHITE PEOPLE SLEPT
UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHT,
SOMEBODY CUTS DOWN A
PET TREE. .
What Is puzxllng tho people In tho
vicinity nf Bond street Is who cut
down a certain tree on that street, and
why was it cut down at night?
* Borne few weeks ago a very pathctle
petition was sent to tho mayor and
council asking that body In the courso
of their Improvements of Ifbnd street,
not to cut down a trc 0 that had buen
planted some twenty-flvo years ago,
snd which stood directly hi the way
of the curbing then being placed.
It so happened that tho line of curb
ing went through this tree, and there
was no getting around It. There wero
several members of council who, by
their remarks that night, wore In nym-
r thy with the petitioner, und when
was referred to tho committee on
streets they rather Intimated that they
would like to see the tree remain
If there was any poulblo way of get
ting around It.
Time wore on and there was noth
ing more said In council about tho
removal of the tree. It began to look
■s though the committee had either
forgotten all About It, or wns welt
ing for some strong wind, or tho light
ning, to take It down for them.
Now It serma that the wind was
not strong enough, and the lightning’s
aim waa bad, fur the tree did not
eftme down. Borne time during Wed
nesday night,, when good folks wore
asleep, somebody or some bodies went
to Bond street, and by muffling tho
axes, eut th© tree down.
Next morning when the work of
destruction wag viewed there were
many to laugh and consider It quite
a joke that it should bd done under
cover of darkness, and thus prevent
any objection. Hut near by was a
sweet old lady, whose hand* had
planted that tree, with several others,
these twenty-flvo years ago. and who
had watered and nursed them until
they had grown from the mere twigs
to big sturdy trees, /md. who. when
tho engineer’s line went through It
hod protested In h*r feeble way agslnst
Its removal—she did not see the humor
of the Jok*. It gave her no pleasure.
■But the tree la gone, and the work
of Improvement goes on.
