Medical examinations seemed to bearout this theory A systematic campaignto effect Mr. Morse's release was con-ducted and a good deal of publicity wasgiven tho alTair. It was represented totho Government authorities that Morowas In a grave condition and that unlessho was removed to new surroundingsho would soon die. President Taft tookan Interest in the case Appeals weremado direct to him by Mrs. Morso, whowas untiring in her efforts to obtain herhusband's pardon. President Taft didnot act hastily in granting a pardon toMorne. In fact ho proceeded with greatdeliberation. A navy surgeon was sentto Atlanta to examine tho prisoner. Anarmy surgeon was also detailed to ex-

amine theKoth reported that Morso was in n

critical condition, thereby confirming re-

pot ts on the case made lv tho prisondoctors and physicians employed by MrsMorso.

It was not until the reports of the armyand navy surgoons were submitted tohim that tho President ed the ordergranting a full pardon to Mors.

Morso was in bad shape when he leftAtlanta. He then went abroad, where heseemed to improve His appearance inNew York ns an active business man hasstartled fJoverntnent officials, While De-

HEALTH BOARD PRODDED

BY THE MILK COMMITTEE

l.ederle. Waldo and 0'ConnellTold They Oupht to Hnvo

Tho New York Milk Committee gave outInst night a statement signed by StephenG Williams, its chairman, and addressedto Dr. Krnst J Ledorle.head of tho Boardor Health, Commissioner Waldo, ns amomlior of tho samo board, nnd HealthOffio?r Jor-ep- J O'Connell of tho Portof New York, calling attention to thoInvestigations made by tho committerin reference to tho quality or milk holdin various restaurants, hotels, lunchrooms nntl soda water fountains.

Tho object of tho investigation and thelettor to tho Hoard of Health is statedto lie to induco tho board to enforce Itsprovisions regarding tho various grad9of milk which shall bo sold, and to pro-vid- o

tho customer with a method bywhich ho may know "whether ho is lielngserved with milk fit for drinking purposesor with milk fit only forcooking purposes."

Tho committoo lielieves that tho thooryattributed to Dr Hensol, that tho bac-tor- ia

reported by tho committee were intho glasses in which tho milk was served,is an error I no investigators securedover fKK) samples of milk In all

In thirty-thre- o out of these, takenfrom nino tliflurent places, the averageof bacteria found, according to th lettorof Chairman illiams, was about ln.noo.

The highest avera Re of bacteria f rom oneof tho nino concerns was under 25,000.In tho milk or all tho other dealers whoseproduct was tested, an average in excessor loo,0.)0 was found except in one casexvheto the average xvas 8.V0OO.

"ibis, Mr. Williams remarks, "is con-sistent xvith tho thoory that loofo milkxvould hax-- e more bacteria in it thanbottled milk, and surely tloes not indicatethat the bacteria camefrorntho glasses."

Tho milk committee, tho letter contin-ues, believes it quito feasible to securexvithln a very short time "drinking milkfor the purpose of being served as drink-ing milk" in restaurants, hotels nnd so on.

Mr Williams adds that tho lytter Iswritten "in no spirit of hostile criticism,"but merely lu an effort to continue to aa- - ,

sist in protecting ttio public rrom hadmilk, and that tho committee cannot atthis time, "with tho bacterial analysis ofover !kki samples of milk taken from 230different places." regard Inactivity on thopart of the Hoard of Health as masterly.Tho committee trusts therefore thatmnvspaper reports that tho board doesnot intend to oct on tho report aro "inac-curate.

Mr Williams snvs that the committeois making other investigations or milkas tlelivor.il in cans and bottles to Tariotieplaces where milk is sold by the glass.

During the investigation by the Com-

Alderman Fleckerrefused to comment on tho arrest.

Tho xvarrant xvas obtained by ActingCommlsloner Hlco nfter Sollkoxvitz, wholias had many changes of heart in givingtestimony in tho graft investigation,had added new details to his previousstorv Louis Selikoxvitz, tho nexvsdealer'sbrother, also gavo now evidence.
