connection with , the defeat of the

measure which prohibited the ship
ment of. liquor Into prohibition dis
tricts. It was killed by the Judiciary
committee on the ground that should

been fought bitterly by the temper
ance forces, especially the W. C. T,
U.' v - ? ' "

work;" Eddie Frltzr'The' Owl,"' who

clutches of the law by one of the most
daring ' propositions ever aired In a
court of Justice, i, , i, - . ''

aliasOTjTBarry ' Sennit was arrested
hereto ring the Taft-Bryan demonstra
tion, when 1" doierr and bore persons
bad their pockets picked and the Com
moner, himself was Jostled and nearly
lost his watch and cash.
A brother of "The" McManus, accom
panied : by Frederick RIchter, Tam
many alderman in McManuB' bailiwick,
hustled up to Portchester and arrang
ed, It is said, for ."The Owl's defense
on the charge of pocket picking. The
police tallied up the . losses of those
who had suffered through the opera
tions of light fingers and found they
totaled $400. A search of Fritz brought
to light $554. .
A proposition ' was then made by
Frlta and Us friends that he return
$400 to the victims and let it go at
that', . ''-:":- C
Judge Wilcox, before; whom ;"The
Owl" , was arraigned, demurred to this
novel scheme for giving, the accused
pickpocket his liberty.- "The Owl's'"
friends were persistent. They pointed
out the flimsy nature of the evidence
against the prisoner. Fifteen Taft and
Bryan , enthusiasts bad missed ' $400,
twas true, but none' of them had actu
ally seen the. Ingenious Fritz abstract
the money. -
The losers were clamoring for their
money. Fritz's friends assured them
the only way for them to be reunite!
to their funds was to drop the chargeu
of pocket picking.
"Be sensible. Give us back The
Owl' and we'll give you back your
money," pleaded Fritz's friends.. This
argument .finally had its effect "The
Owl" counted out$400, which was dis
tributed among the victims. The only
charge pressed against Fritz was one
of disorderly conduct. Judge Wilcox
could then do nothing but impose a
fine. He made it $50.
"The Owl" chuckled, paid the fin.
shelled out $50 to his lawyer and stuff

Into his pocket 1
"The Owl" cautiously ;took a receipt
for the $400 from the victims and left

Morse, the promoter and financier,
whose, one time great fortune was
swallowed up In the crash one year
ago, and who, with Alfred Curtis,
former president of : the National
Bank of North America, now is on
trial, on a charge of violation of the
national banking law, may go on the
witness stand In his own defenue to
day. Curtis already has told 4 the
main portion of his story and In
many Instances sought to place the
responsibility for bad loans upon
Morse. Unless his testimony Is
markedly altered as a result of the
questioning which had assumed the
nature of a cross-examination, when
court adjourned last night by coun
sel for Morse, the one time "Ice king"
will have a serious task before him
when he goes on the stand as a wit
ness in his own behalf. -Curtis had
sworn that Morse was the real con
trolling force in the institution; that
be as president had protested to
Morse against certain acts which he
believed had endangered the bank's
stability, and that he himself had
never made a dollar beyond his sal
ary as president of the bank through
any of the operations In connection
with the Institution.
It was expected that Curtis would
be subjected to exhaustive question
ing to-day both by counsel for Morse
and the attorneys for the govern
ment, but there was a possibility that
this might be completed and Morse
called to the 'stand before adjourn
ment to-night.
