him. ii- that Moise is no longer the
Morse of Atlanta. Very plainly he
show s tiiat he is no longer tiie "doomed"
man. His every action, gesture, his
tone ; nd enunciation proclaim that lie
is once more the active, aggressive
business man who engineered the
coastwise shipping trust and who tiniis
with the forthcoming opening of the
"Big Ditch" through Panama loads
more of congenial work for his in
genius mind.
When steamship companies arc being
formed every week and the eye of every
American ship owner is tut tied to the
isthmus, the return of <'. W. Morse is
hailed in marine circles as highly sig
nificant. at least.
Os himself Mor.--' sa.d: "You can see
I'm returning to health and returning
rapidly That bears out the statement.
”f my physicians in Europe, who said 1
was 'good for some time,' any way,
and I'm out for a complete recovery.
Km whit'.' I'm doing so well 1 do not
want to overdo it and to I'm compelled
to refuse the Invitation of my old fel
low townsmen of Bath. Maine, who
have arranged a reception in my honor,

friendship makes me feel, but for the
present I'll confine my visiting to a few
friends mar home, and I ni going to
stay ptelly closi-lv about the Milano
apartments at J 27 West Fifty-eighth
street."
As to Lawyer McConihe and his sum
mons. Morse said that was not new- to
him. for tiie attorney had tried to ex
amim him while he was in the Atlanta
prison. "But 1 was so sick they re
fused to let. him question me, and now I
hear lie says that 1 sailed to Europ
eluding him. when I had promised to
sei him in New York. 'hat is not
true."

President's Voice Husky, and
Strain Is Telling—Rushing
Through New Jersey.
! LAMBERTVILLE, N. ,L. May 24 -
) That the strain of hi.- campaign for j
I icnomination is telling severely on I
President Taft was made evident when .
I he dashed northward by train and auto >
I through New Jersey today in his cf- :
i forts to win the state's delegation.
He made his first speech here, warn- !
: mg the people to beware of the thiid- |
i term ambition of Theodore Roosevelt I
and defending liis administration. His ■
voice was husk.' and the happy smili . )
which he showed during' the latter day. ,
of the Ohio campaign, was completely )
missing. The president's face was I
dr-wn and the effects of his arduous
work showed plainly.
During his day's work the president
j expects several times to cross the trail
i of Senator LaFollette, who is also tiy
i ing to win the state from both Taft and
Roosevelt.
I After his car platform speech here
j the president proceeded to Frenchtow n
land Phillipsburg. From the latter point
! his program called for an automobile
toui that would take him to Somer- I
ville. New Brunswick. Plainfield and |
Elizabeth. He will reach New York |
tonight
“We’ve Got ’Em,’’
Exclaims Colonel
NEW YORK. Mav 24.—" We've got
'em.''
With this terse but much-meaning
exclamation Colonel Roosevelt today
started out on his second day s inva
sion of New Jersey. He was in happy
spirits because of the enthusiastic r< -
eeption given him yesterday. The colo
nel's program called for eleven speeches I
as follows:
Burlington. Hammonton. Egg Har
bor, Atlantic City. Millville. Vineland.
Biidgeton. Glassboro. Woodbury, Cam
den and Clinton, concluding at 9:30
tonight, when ho will return to New
York.
The tour as planned brought him al
most wUthin hailing distance of Presi
; dent Taft, and tonight he will speak in
Camden, where the president, was greet
led by a large crowd last night.
i | A small army of photographers ac
companied the colonel and he had a
glad word for all of those in his retinue
whom he knew. The news in the morn
ing papers was to his liking, and espe- i
cially that containing the comment of !
the English press on the fact that New I
York newspapers were disposed to un- >
derrate his importance as a factor in j
the national fight. He approved th< I
English vigw that he was a "big fae- I

REBELS FLEEING
FIELD OE BLOOD !
EL PASO, TEXAS. May 24. Dis
patches reaching here today from Rel
lano. scene of the 24-hout battle be
tween the forces of the Mexican fed
erals anti the rebels under General.
Orozco, confirm the reports that Oroz
co’s forces ’ were defeated, while both
sides suffered heavy loss in dead and
wounded. The government's force,
something more than 4.oufi men. was
commanded by* General Huerta. Oroz
co's lighting force was more than 5,000.
Orozco himself directed the lighting.
Time after time his headquarters were
under the long range fire of the federal
artillery. His lieutenants pleaded with
him to retire to safer quartets, but iie
was undisturbed.
Rebels’ Guns Too Small.
The rebel defeat was due largely to
their lack of artillery, dispatches today
say. They were obliged continuously !
to fall back under the fire of the federal ,
artillery, while the fedcrals advanced
and fought under the protection of the
fire from the heavy guns. The falling
shells from the cannon kicked up Stif- I
ling clouds of alkali dust that made it
impossible foi the rebels to direct? their
flro accurately . Soldiers in both armies
were tortured by the intense heal.
The rebels today are falling back to-
Ward Juarez. They are pursued by a
band of federal cavalry
