3-9716 Qureni Villafe. Tel. Ml.ioari 7-1688 Continued from Pase 1 don on representations that the "broken-down" plunger had but six months to live at the most. The financier had served less than three years of a 15-year sentence imposed in 1909 for misapplications of the funds of one of the banks he controlled during the panio of 1907. Was Boy Finaneirr Morse was born in Bath, in 1856, and showed his first aptitude for finance when a lad of 15, making $200 from a candy concession on an excursion barge.

Four years later his father, a moderately well-off Maine shipper, was disinclined to send his son to college and offered young Morse $1,500 a year to keep nis dooks. me youth snapped the offer up, got another to keep the books for $500 a year, and proceeded through Bowdoin Collete on his profits. The story of Morse's early rise might have come from Al. 'nr'c npn His father's' ships left Maine emp ty ior Baltimore ana New York, returning laden with products. These latter 70s were prior to the manufacture of ice and young Morse, while a junior at college, conceived the idea of sending the ships down loaded with Kennebec River ice.

Young Morse hopped from his classroom to New York, sewliir? nr. a contract with a bis brewer for 50,000 tons of ice, on which he cleaned up $25,000. Cleared Half Million on lee Before graduating from college and entering into a brief partnership with his father in the shipping business, young Morse is credited with earning $500,000 In the ice monopoly he was on the way to finding. Two or three years business in Maine convinced the young man that New York was his field, and in 1880, at the age of 24, Morse invaded New York and set up as C. W.

Morse fc Co. It wasn't long before Wall Street was agape at the operations of the young invader. Morse manipulated merger after merger of ice companies and shipping lines, reached into banks and utilities and gained valuable directorships. His road to multi-millions was made a bit easier by the friendship he struck up with Tammany under Boss Croker and Mayor Van Wyck. He effected the $20,000,000 combine of the Consolidated Ice Company and the Knickerbocker Ice Company, and then Issued $15,000,000 worth of additional paper fo bring the capitalization up to $35,000,000.

Boosted Ice Price The watered paper had to be made good some wav and Morse and his associates bided their time until the scorching hot Summer of 1900. Then they boosted the price of ice in New York from 30 to 60 cents a hundredweight. The move, forcing a cruel hardship in the tenement districts, brought a terrific 'uproar. But Morse appeared to have increased his capitalization by $12,000,000 before retreating. Subsequent investigation proved that Morse's Tammany friends didn't fare badly in all this.

At almost the same time. Morse's domestic troubles compelled attention on the front pages. His first wife, Hattio Bishop Hussey, whom he had married in Maine, died in 1897. In 1901 he married Mrs. Clemence Cowles Dodge, divorced wife of a Pullman car conductor, whom he had met while she was operating a rooming house in Manhattan.

Morse's indignant Now England relatives tried to force an annulment in the courts. The sole result was that "Abe" Hummel, celebrated criminal lawyer of the time who was opposing Morse, blundered Into perjury and went to Blackwell's Island for a year. Stubbed Toe on Bank By the time me panic of 1907 came into being, Morse's fortune was placed at $40,000,000, and his ice and coastwise shipping monopolies were estimated as controlling capitalization of $340,000,000. For easier manipulation, he had become a director In no less than a dozen banks and insurance companies, Including the National Bank of North America, on which lie stubbed his toe. Because of his lee coup and manipulations that were merciless as far as stockholders were concerned, Morse's paunchy figure, fleshy features and drooping mustache had received widespread publicity as newspaper caricatures of the then little-restricted "big business." The panic of 1907 squeezed the big operator, in 1905 he had consolidated the National Bank of North America with the Bank of the State of New York, and his use of the former bank's funds led to its receivership during the panic and the manipulator's indictment.

Rallies Lawyers Though broke and in a cell, expert lawyers rallied to Morse's aid. The wife, spurned by the rest of his family, succeeded in raising the FlelcherC.

RODHKN'. Ever til nur UlQUgUU MAXWELL FAMILY. Charles W. Morse high bond to get him out of the Tombs. The lawyers manipulated delay after delay until 1909, and in the interim Morse took new fliers in the market that netted him i 500.000.

Morse seemed at the end of his career when, later that year, he was placed on a train to Atlanta after his. conviction had been sustained. "I am the panic of 1907," he grumbled. Lodged behind prison doors, Morse turned from lawyers to doctors to get him out of trouble. He may have been ill or he may not have been.

However, the Issue was raised, and at the Instance of George W. Wickersham, then Attorney General, a commission of leading physicians and surgeons journeyed to Atlanta to examine the supposed invalid. Their report was that Morse would live no longer than one month in confinement, and less than six months on the outside. President Taft granted the pardon. Stages Comeback Morse quickly developed into as spry an Invalid as is on record.

Whether he staged a recovery, or hoodwinked the doctors In the first place, is still a mystery. But it Is interesting to note that the late Harry M. Daugherty, the several times indicted Attorney General of the Harding administration, was one of his attorneys In these procced- I mgs. "Rerovered, Morse was quicuiy traveling the road to his attempted comeback. For the former "ice king" and "Admiral of the Atlantic coast." the comrback was on a comparatively modest scale.

He took his three sons, Benjamin. Harry and Ervin, into business with him and they started out with approximately $500,000 that still remained of the colossal fortune. The first move was to acquire control of the Hudson Navigation Company. In 1916 Morse evidently anticipated the country's entry into the war, and merged a number of New England ship yards under the name of United States Steamship Company. Indicted on Ships Contracts Ships were at a premium when the war was declared, and Morse succeeded in getting four contracts, totalling 24 steel ships and 12 wooden ships in all.

But only two wooden ships were completed before the armistice. The Grand Jury of the District of Columbia looked into the matter and indicted Morse, his sons, and eight others on charges of having conspired to defraud the Shipping Board. Morse sought refuge in France, but was returned here. The indictment and trial dragged for some time, and all were acquitted in 1923. But Morse's troubles didn't end here.

While out on ball awaiting trial, he put over a number of new mergers with the United Stats Steamship Corporation, sold stock, and proceeded to operate. The stock sales resulted In his indictment with a number of others, including his sons, on charges of using the mails to defraud. Claim was made that boom time investors had lost Again Fles to Doctors and Lawyers With lawyers and doctors, however. Morse wore out the Government, and the bills were dismissed in 1927. On a score of occasions over three years he won adjournments on doctor's pleas that a trip from Maine to New York would prove fatal.

During one of thctso arguments, in 1925, a Government operative told of having trailed Morse in Maine and finding him spry and agile, despite his 70 years. That same week Mrs. Morse died. His companies gone, his fortune believed dissipated, Morse spent his t'vlllght days in retirement In Maine. Thompson of the Methodist Church here.
