Morse, the New York banker, whose prison sentence was recently com muted by President Taft, left the army hospital at Fort McPherson this morning. He was brought to a down town hotel where he' will stap until i tn K moved elsewhere. It probable that he will be taken to some Florida resort. Morse' was accompanied by his wife and sister, Miss Jennie Morse. He was conveyed from the military res ervation in an ambulance. His physi cians thought the removal from the hospital where he spent so long a time after his transfer from the federal penitentiary would aid his improve ment. ' For the first time in more than two years the noted prisoner is from under the eye of government officials. The most of that time he spent in the penintentiary. About two months ago he was taken to the military hospital. Since his freedom was given two weeks ago he has remained at the hospital too ill to be moved, ac cording to his doctors.

By Associated Press. New York, Jan. 27. A serious fire which necessitated four alarms and a special alarm broke out this morning in the Pratt Oil Works of the Stand ard Oil Company in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. In view of the presence of tanks and refining appara tus and the vast quantity of crude and refined oils it was apparent at the start that the situation was dangerous. By Associated Press. - . Louisville, Ky., Jan. 27. Citing an amazement array, of facts to' demon strate Nthe "need of compulsory educa tion in the south," Prof. W. H. Hand, of Columbia, S. C., state high school inspector of South Carolina, spoke be fore the Sth annual conference of the National Child Labor Committee "to day. : : -'.' V' After showing that Kentucky stands forty-third in the list df-states and ter ritories in the percentage of illicieracy of nativ whites ten years ago and over with over i66,000 such illiterates, South Carolina forty-fourth . with 54.000 and North Carolina - forty-ninth with over 175,000, Professor Hand, said: ; "The south could once boast of an aristocracy capable, broadminded and highly trained. The conditions con ducive to such a society have been swept away, and the south today is pre eminently the land where training and fitness of the masses are indispensa ble." ' Profeeor Hand showed that the en tire volums of illiteracy had remained practically sessionary during the ten years from 1890 to 1900 except iri North Carolina, where the number in creased. He said in 1900 the South Atlantic, States had 2,472,895' white children between the ages of a and 20 years. ( The school attendance for that year was less than half the total num ber. i "One of the most unpromising fea tures of this already gloomy prospect is that in most of the southern states illiterate females outnumber the illit erate males," said Professor Hand. "An illiterate mother does not augur well for the child of tomorrow. "When the state has provided schools for all the children, it has performed only a part of its duty. If a universal school tax is justified on the ground of the popular education is a necessity, compulsory attendance by the state is also justifiable. The state has no right to levy and collect taxes for a specific purpose then permit that purpose to be defeated at the hands of indifferent or selfish parents. V "Objection is often made that com pulsory attendance would; work hard ships in the homes of the poor. Is It not a fact that the poor child is the very one who most needs the aid of the state to bring him into possession of his own? - : "He - it is who must soon face the complexities of modern .life and the insistent' demands of citizenship, with none of the advantages common to birth or wealth. He is the very one whom the state oifeht to help, because he himself is helpless. The chHd of the poor must work; but it is neither right nor human that he should be forever denied his share in his inher itance in order to be a breadwinner for a selfish, unfeeling father, as is so fre quently the case. , "In the end the south will have to apply compulsion for the education., of its children. Neither bonuses nor, lo cal option laws will put the children into the schools. We might as well face the facia." SOUTH WEEDS COMPULSORY EDUCATION Evident intention o Dynam iters to Pick Out Most Prom inent Officials And Military Officers Opposed to Republi can Movement Simultaneous Outrages at Pek ing And lien TsinTwo Generals the Victims Japan Will Observe Integrity of Ihmese itmpire By Associated Press. : San Francisco, Jan. 27. President Sun Yut Sen of the provisional Chin ese republic, has issued an ultima turn declaring the Manchu throne muts be abdicated by eight o'clock on the morning of January 2, the date set. for the ending of the armis- , tice between , the government and , the republicans, or an attack will be made on tne capital. X This information reached here to day in a cablegram to the Chinese Daily Free Press. Peking, China, Jan. 27. Local agents of the revolutionary party re cently intimated that a dynamite cam paign was not improbable in the near tuture. , Yesterday's and today's out rages may be the beginning of a series of similar crimes. U is evidently the intention of the dynamiters to, pick out the most prominent officials and military officers who . are " known to be opposed to the republican move ment. " - Republican agents who do not at tempt to keep the nature of their mis sion in Peking secret, 1 declare that fighting will not be resumed immedi ately : although isolated conflcts may accur. They communicate openly with the staff of Premier Yuan Shi Kai, many of the members of which have expressed revolutionary sympathies. ; One of the revolutionary agents here .makes the assertion that he 'has been received by Premir Yuan Shi ivAirsrho prorniad ta: release a number of suspected dynamiters who "h'ave been imprisoned recently. Manchu Official Victim of Bomb. ueneral Liang Pi, a high .Manchu official and former cdmmandmant of the imperial guards, was injured, per haps fatally today, by a bomb thrown by aif unknown Chinaman in a mil itary uniform. The man hurled the bomb from the side of the road aa Liang Pi was alighting from his car riage to enter his home. Both of the general's legs were broken and torn and the immediate amputation of one limb was- necessary. The assailant was himself instantly killed -by the explosion. ' General ri was a rTong reactionary and had been .suspected of implica-, tion in the recent; assassination of General Mu Lu Cheng. ' Japan States Position. Tokio, Jan. 27. Japan intends to ad here to the principle of the integrity of the Chinese empire. ; So much was gathered from the replies of Viscount Uchida the foreign minister, to the interpellations introduced at a meet ing today of the committee of the House of Representatives. M. Inukai, the leader of the nation alist party, who has just returned from Shanghai, asked the foreign minister: "Is the Japanese government adher- ; iri g to the principle of the. integrity of China?" ' Viscount Uchida,' replied unhesitat ingly in the affirmative, pointing out ' the provisions of the Anglo-Japanese ; alliance and the conventions of Japan j with France arid Russia. r j "What is the principle which is guid ing the benevolent assistance offered ; by Japan to China?" was M. Inukai's second question. The foreign minister responded: "This offer was made-to .China after an understanding had been reached ! with Great Britain on the subject, and : we are ready to put it into actual op eration at the moment an opportunity should arsie; hut so far there has .been no occasion." j M. Inukai then strongly criticised j the unsteadiness of the government's ! policy as regards China,, continuing: "It is now an open secret that the Japanese government's sympathy lean ed first toward the reigning dynasty in j China. This p6licy was afterward changed under the convenient cover of strict neutrality. -The result is that a want of confidence in Japan exists ' both at Peking and among the revo- , lutionaries." . 1 An animated discussion followed on the same lines but the doors of the house of representatives were closed. I Attempt to Assassinate Gen. Chih. j Tien Tsin, China, . Jan. 27. An at : tempt was made this morning to as sassinate Brig. Gen. Chang Huai Chih at the railroad station here. The gen eral was not injured. The would-be assassin, who is a young Chinaman, apparently arrived there on thes- ame train as Chang Huai Chih from : Peking. ;The general on 1 leaving the train, proceeded to his brougham. The assassin followed him : and threw two bombs which wreck ed the carriages .. ' r ': The " fleeing assailant was quickly ' surrounded by soldiers and police. He kept his pursuers at bay for some j time with his revolver but was finally overcome. NChang Huai Chih, who Is well known here, has been largely respon sible for preventing the population of ' Tein Tsin from going over to the revolutionaries.
