NEW YORK, Sept. s.—Charles W.
Morse, the former ice king, has come
back.
A few short months of liberty have
wrought a wonderful transformation
in the man* who as a Convict in the
Federal prison at Atlanta was pic
tured to President Taft as a dying man.
Now ho has re-entered Wall street,
apparently as healthy and as full of
light as he was the day before all his
pet schemes were smashed in the 1907
panic and from a suite of offices on
the nineteenth floor of the Wall-Ex
. hange building, at Xo. 18 Exchange
place, ho will try to rehabilitate the
fortune which was swept away five
years ago.
Rut that is not the only reason that
Morse has re-entered the fight. Ho is
nxious to "get even" with the mon

That is the question which is puzzling

High Society Women
Bad Insurance Risks; i
Hurry Toward Grave |
, Head of American Life Company
Says They Drink and Eat
Harmful Things.
CHICAGO. Sept. 5.—-Women in high
society are bad insurance risks. All
other women, especially business worn.
, en. are considered good risks. That is
the dictum of the American Life In
f surance convention in session here.
, "Women who live so-called high life
. havt a hard time getting insurance,”
said President Gold. "They cat such
! indigestible food and drink so many
. harmful beverages that their systems
■ soon are wrecked and they go the
. quick route to the grave.
"Toward other women life insurance
. companies feel differently. Many com
panies are removing women from the
> list of undesirable risks.”

I The high school, which is comtnenc- ,
ing its first year, is composed of three ,
I grades, and the registration is as fol- ,
lows: Eighth. 37: ninth, 31; tenth. 14—•
making a total high school registra
tion of 82.
There are new pupils' entering who
failed to register before the ripening of 1
. the schools, and the superintendent,
t E. E. Treadwell, expects the total en

Probability of Incurring Dis
pleasure of Millionaires Only
Reason for Dropping Case.
INVESTIGATOR IS CERTAIN
CLUBMAN SLASHED WIFE
Atlantan Declares That He
Has Positive Proof of Guilt.
May Be No Trial.
"If the Beach case is dropped it will
be because the city authorities of
Aiken. S. C., who have been 'milking
the millionaires’ so long, have yielded
to the influence of the fashionable
tourists who bring in the money.' de
clared M. S. Baughn, of Atlanta, today
in discussing the report that the
charges against Frederick O. Beach
would be dropped.
. Baughn, as a special agent, worked
up the case against Millionaire Beach
for the Aiken authorities following the
affair of last February, when Mrs.
Beach was mysteriously stabbed. It
was Bauglin's work which led to the
charge that Beach was his wjfe's as
sailant.
"There Is no doubt in my’ mind that
Beach Is guilty," said Baughn. "I got
evidence enough io prove that and am
ready to present it."
The Beach scandal has renewed the
old gossip which followed the sudden
death of Charles Havemeyer. the first
husband of Mrs. Beach. His death was
never satifactorily explained, it was
said. It is also recalled that Beach
was an intimate of the Havemeyers
then and was attentive to Mrs. Have
meyer, whom he married after her hus
band's death.
Reported Beach
Case Is Settled
AIKEN, S. C.. Sept. 5. The trial of’
Frederick O. Beach, New York society
man, who was arrested here lasi spring
on the charge of having attempted to
kill his pretty wife by stabbing her in
the neck with a gold pocket knife while
in a jealous rage, will not be held this
month, as had been expected
Colonel Daniel Henderson, counsel for
“Beauty,” as his intimates call Mr.
Beach, declared during the summer that
he would insist upon a trial al this term.
But upon returning from a visit in Eu
rope, the lawyer called upon Solicitor
Robert L. Gunter, representing the state,
and said he did not wish to go on.
It is believed that the matter has,
been settled in some manner so that it !
will never come, to trial. Last spring a
report was prevalent that Mi Beach .
would plead guilty to “assault of an ag- |
gravated nature" and would be fined >IUO. .
which the local authorities then said ;
would be agreeable.

MORRIS SAYS
G.O.P.VOTERS
MADE ROWS
IN GILMER
- - r
On Stand in Blue Ridge Judge
ship Contest. He Denies All
Fraud Charges.
—————— JT
DECLARES DEMOCRATS '
ARE SOLIDLY FOR HIM
Patterson Was Aided Greatly
by Irregularities in Pickens,
Witness Asserts.
Judge Newt Morris took the stand
in his own defense, under oath, before,
tire state Democratic committee this
vnornimt immediately after the commit
tee was called to order by Chairman
Harris, to resume the hearing- in the
Blue Ridge judgeship contest.
The judge spoke In deliberate and
Clear tones, denying in full all the
charges heaped upon him by the,pros
ecution.
Judge Morris denied with great ve
hemence that there was any truth in
Ihe famous alleged telephone message
from Morris to Cox, late on the night
of election, in which Morris is said to
have told Cox that only a big majority
in Gilmer county could save the nom
ination to Morris, because Patterson
was an evident victor elsewhere
throughout the circuit.
Says Republicans /
Cause All the Trouble.
Morris said the trouble in Gf&ner
simple Is that the Republicans in Gil
mer try to run the politics of the 'Dem
ocrats. and when they are not allowed
to do it, they get mad and charge
fraud.
The judge claimed that 90 per vent
of the Democrats in Gilmer were for
and that such was a notorious
fact in advance of the primary.
Judge Morris undertook then to show
by figures that had Patterson received
< vory uncast vote on the entire regis
nation list In Gilmer, regardless of the
fait that many of them would have
gone to Morris, Morris still would have
been a victor over Patterson by not
less than 65 votes
The judge then departed somewhat
from th. main Issue and charged that
Pickens county, hi which not more thart
a few hundred Democrats lived in any
event, went for Patterson by 600, or
more than enough un-Democratic votes
in Pickens alone to offset all un-Dem
ocratlc votes Morris might have re
ceived in Gilmer.
The judge said he thought surely that
ii would be unfair to throw out Gilmer
with respect to Morris, and not throw
it out with respect to Pottle and Price
in tile court of appeals and commis
sioner of agriculture races.
Declares Democrats of
Gilmer Are For Him.
Judge Morris ended his statement by
declaring that the fight on him in Gil
mer was an old one and was fathered
entirely by Republicans. He explained
iliat tile lines between Democrats and
Republicans always were tightly drawn
in Gilmer, and that each side generally
voted solidly, and that the solid Dem-
OI rati' strength there now is for Mor-
i'pon cross-examination. Judge Mor
ris said he did not contest alleged
frauds and irregularities in Pickens be
cause in- considered ills nomitjation safe
without the vote of Pickens, anti that
it 1..L- too late, after the Giltner county
eontt'st had been begun.
Judge Morr-s’ Injection of Pickens
' "tin’ uno ihe hearing brought forth
. ihle discussion a- tn the rcl-
i.m' of th. Pl.-kens matter in .the
present hearing.
I 1 !’a ’!• r.-.n attorneys rested their
