C. W. Morse is Free in

By Wire to The Sun.
New York, Feb. 17. Charles W.
Morse, under a sentence for 16 years
for violating the National banking
laws, and who is In the Tombs pend
ing an appeal on writ of error, will
walk out of the prison today and save
for the presence of the deputy mar
shal who must remain at his side, no
one would guess that he is not a free
man. He may do just as he pleases
during the day and all succeeding
days, but he must return to the prison
at night.
He will be allowed to do this until
the higher court passes on his appeal.
There is a good deal of criticism
of the matter. District Attorney Stim
son said today that the formal order
of the court which permitted Morse
to leave the Tombs during the day was
a revolutionary action in the matter
of court proceedure.

the antipathy of hoboes to work, and

street crossings.

In awed whispers, his voice choked

'When my cousin got up," said Ger-
idimos, "he said he a bad dream bad,

us In politics, but he kept out of all

Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 17. The Bar-wt?
ringer resolution looking to the re- '
moval of the seat of State government -from
Raleigh to Greensboro and Col,.
Barringer's pertinent comments con v
cerning the bad condition of the State ;-'
House here in the matter of uncleanly "
manner of its keep, and absence of v
modern equipment, has at least stirred :'
considerable sentiment for a reform
in the sanitary condition of the State
House here and promises to aid In - '
forcing the legislature to make somo' .
adeq ate provision for enlarging and - -equipping
or in provision for adequate .
office and committee room buildings . 1
around the square. y
The full text of the Barrlnger reso
lution follows:
Whereas, the present capltol was
built at a time when the free popu-J-lation
of the State was less than one- 1
third what it now is, and the present : . - ,
capitol building is unsatisfactory and 1
inadequate for the purpose of Statat,
government, being without committee ,t
rooms and elevators and in other re- Vi
spects wanting in modern require-,-"-:'
ments, and J '
Whereas, It Is thought by some that
to enlarge the present capltol to mak '
it serviceable, would destroy Its beau . ' 5
ty: Be It
Resolved: by the Senate, the House ,
of Representatives concurring: That -v--.
a committee of three, two from the -c,.
House and one from the Senate, be ap- J ;?
pointed to draft a bill for adoption by
the General Assembly, to be submitteif
to the people at the next general elec- '
tlon, for the removal of the capltol to '.
Greensboro, that city being the cen- v

thorized to receive from the author!
ties of Greensboro such offer of in- J-j-; .1
ducements of adequate grounds and ' '",.'
appropriations, which proposal shall .
be submitted as a basis of the statute , , '
authorized."
Col. Barrlnger declared In advocat
ing his resolution that the State House ;; ;'; ;
is now miserably and indecently kept yv;.
in addition to being without modei.Vv
equipment, which. Indeed in Its presH-'TiJ;-ent
shape cannot be Installed, and d2$fj
clared that he wis really ashamed ; ri,"
for his friends from other States to,
come to North Carolina while the leg-; i' ; vv

it crushed his state pride, the res-'
