Just before the passenger-carrying crosa-country race wus started at 4 o'clock this afternoon, a mote in the paling sky was sten far to the south east. It was Johnstone re-appearing Just where he had vanished In yes terday's gale. He circled the field and settled In front of the judge's stand, while the crowd waved, cheered and stamped.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 2. Friends of Chas. W. Morse believe they have found a way for President Taft to let the convicted banker out of the pen itentiary without actually pardoning him. In effect It would be to parole Horse, but that end would be accom plished by Issuing a "conditional par don." The banker'a friend claim precedent In their favor, and point 'out that I'resi'ient i;,eveiana paroon- ed a federal prisoner conditionally with the proviso that he report to the jt'nlted States district attorney every I year for five years, j While the pluns of Mors.' friends are not known at the department of i Justice, It was said that there Is ! nothing to prevent the president from Issuing a conditional pardon, and that in such an event the federal board of parole would be charged with the re sponsibility of looking after Morse. 'Any proposition to parole under the terms of the law passed at the last session of congress, a ha been sug gested, I out of th question, say the attorney.

Intact, he said, a democratic victory in New York would more thsn likely turn th next national convention away from a national ad ministration which would not hold Its party together and toward Mr Roosevelt or "to one of the far more radical leader who ar now loom' tng up on the political horlson In the North and Middle West."
