10 NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1916. BEEKS $100,000 OR FREEING HORSE pum Says His Only Pay Was, Bouquet of Flowers [New York, Sept. 14.—-Max C. um has brought suit against arles W. Morse, the steam- @t man, for $100,000 in payment for S A service in persuading to free Morse from the prison at Atlanta in 1912 which was filed about s , came to light yester. Jrough an order signed in the su- eme court by Justice Guy permit- g the. filing of papers in the case. . Morse was convicted in 1909 of plating the banking laws. Baum described himself as a real ate and insurance agent and was ld to have had more or less experi- ice in getting evidence in divorce Ses and other litigation. | [Morse said last night that he didn’t Fe Baum any money and didn’t in- nd to pay him any. “Whatever Baum did for me,” said orse, “he told me he was doing be- use he wished to see me get jus e. I think about all he did we have some pleces put in the news- hpers. I never agreed to pay him y money.” Morse scoffed at the assertion of hum that it was he who obtained orse’s release by President Taft. “Baum figures I have some money hd he wants some of it. That's all ere is to the case,” Morse conclud- Mrs, Clementine Morse is named as defendant in the siut also because, Baum alleges he was retalned by br, but efforts which a half dozen 'ocess servers have been making to @ her since last fall have thus @ r been fruitless. George W, Files, orney for Baum said yesterday that took his men three months to serve orse. Kenneth K. Mackenzie, attor- by for Morse, has filed an appear- ce in the case and has demanded a 1l of particulars, which is now be- g prepared. Baum alleges that Mrs. Morse ap- paled to him to aid her husband ion after he had been convicted and at he at once started collecting evi- Ence oh which to base a plea for a trial. He produced a number of fidavits bearing on the conduct of prtain jurors while they were deliber- ing gver the Morse case, affidavits thich were used by Martin ‘W, Little- pn in making an aepplication for a trial. The application was de- led, but Mr. Morse was released on Jail pending the decision. Baum contends in detall that after orse was sent to prison he (Baum) pblicited the aid of members of a fra- prnal order to which Morse belonged md by using other methods he enlist- 4 the sympathy of Mr. Taft. He fovs that while he was making these ‘'orts Morse told him that if he was ccessful he would be made wealthy yond his wildest dreams,” Yet, aft- r Morse was released, the latter sent him a bouquet of roses. HEARTBROKEN, SHOOTS SELF pld Charley the Fiddler Thought It ‘Was Last Straw When Process Serv- er Puts End to Business, New York, Sept. 14.—*0ld Charley bhe Fiddler,” wasn’t exactly a fiddler, because his chief work was trying to farn a living in the little saloon he ran nti] yesterday at 243 New Jersey Rail- wad avenue, Newark. But he could hnake violins and would have preferred o support himself that way, but long f.2o ho found he couldn’t make ends meet by whittling violins. So he rented a store and put up a sign reading “Charles F. Bauer, Sa- oon and Restaurant,” installed his lwife and five children in rooms to the rear and bought a revolver to safeguard thé dimes and nickels, which he expected to stream over the counter. But the old man—he was almost 70—sgradually grew poorer. Tate in the night he would take up his old handiwork of violin making with the hope that enough money to pay the rent and support his family might be made in this way. 0ld Charley and his wife were talk- ing over their troubles in hopeless fashion yesterday when a process server entered the saloon. Charley hurried out to the bar to greet a prospective customer. But instead of making a purchase the server hand- ed over a batch of legal papers. The violin maker accepted the pa- pers, glanced thr h them and slow- 1y opened tt drawer to drop the The drawer was for the revolver, which more hopeful days had It is up to You! To Come and See and Realize Costs Nothing No great deed is Done by falterers who ask for certainty HAVE never doubted the Wisdom of the American People. [ believe that as soon as a man becomes a citizen of this glorious and illustrious Nation, he be- gins to realize that in this Land of Freedom and In- dependence, through good behaviour and industry, he can attain the station that his intuition, common sense and good judgment will provide. Recent international and trans-continental difficulties have been gratifyingly overcome; we have been joyously kept out of war and have supplied the entire world with our products. We stand now, upon the threshold which augurs for the greatest Era of Prosperity that this country has ever known. We have proved that we are a combination of peoples, whose first consideration lies in the recognition of each other’s righgts and privileges, and a spirit of co-operation that means Success for all concerned. Men have risen from office boys and laborers to Master Minds and Millionaires, and little businesses started in the villages and towns have grown to World-wide Industries. History is not founded on fables; rather on Facts and Deeds. And it is for these reasons that I first brought to your attention the preponderating facts and accomplish- ments concerning the growth of New Britain’s population and industrial progress. I wanted you to know more about the place you live in, the record of its past and the guaran- tee it gives you to accept of the most wonderful Opportun- ity that New Britain ever had in order to make your finan- cial and domestic future secure and profitable. I did not open my auction sale today, with the sole pur- pose of selling the people a number of lots just for the sake of selling. I did open the sale with a knowledge that what I was to sell, was for the advancement of those who could realize an opportunity, whose Fundamental basis was firm and sound. I Appreciate the Enthusiastic Reception A VERY large number of intelligent, and appreciative people was present, and the results of the first day’s sales indicate that my efforts and frankness in all that I have said, have been recognized as absolutely true and founded on positive facts. I was granted this pleasure because someone in the Past had failed to recognize the principles I have herein reviewed; had clutched the best part of property in New Britain and thwarted the endeavors of the public to se- cure land which through their energy and thrift they might have improved and increased in value. For twenty years I have been “The Apostle of Land Ownership” for every citizen and family. There is no Greater Soundness in investing possibilities than in the Land of American Cities. Tremendous possibilities in growth and population, enlargement of old, or the coming of new industries, the improvement of public facilities and the nagural growth of value and unearned increment of land, properly utilized, are the most Staple and Soundest attractions that any investment can offer. These wonderful growths and possibilities are within the reach of New Brit- ain, because she has unexcelled transportation facilities to the greatest population, manufacturing center and ship-, ping harbor and can ship her products to any corner of the Earth. ' HAVE endeavored to bring to your mind, the realiza- tion of this great opportunity. My investigations of the proposition submitted me to dispose of,—regard- less of reserve or protection,—led me to realize that here in New Britain, for many years past, civic love and ambition had taken-a back-seat; that men were squeezing their holdings tighter and tighter, all in the anticipation that sooner or later, they would realize the ambition of their hopes and others would pay them the prices they wanted. But it is hard to check American ambition and pluck. New Britain’s Population has increased remarkably in the past ten years. Business progressed and enlarged, and with her great manufacturing products advertised through- out the land, she gains added reputation everywhere. Her record stands; she has had a remarkable past in every branch of enterprise and investment, excepting only her real estate holdings of Non-residents disinterested in her civic affairs. With added brains and energy coming to her continually, she is bound to improve tremendously in the next decade, from all present indications and conditions surrounding her. As one who has traversed the states of this Union,from Atlantic to Pacific Coast; who has devoted twenty years of his life to educating untold thousands of families how to obtain their homesites and gardens at the Right Price in the right way; who has pleased every customer in 300 sales held in 40 states, and knows what land is and means fo the average American family, | entertain greatest confidence in the opportunity which lies idle in the Iots composing that beautiful section, now so favorably known by that appro- priate name, Barnesdale the “Gardenspot” T O prove how sincere I am in this undertaking, and to safe-guard the interests of those reposing their confi- dence in me, I have induced the owners to keep this tract in excellent and perfect good shape so that buyers at this auction sale of lots, will feel secure in their investment and the spirit that prompts this sale. I feel that no other city in New England has such tre- mendous possibilities in view, under proper adjustments, or that a better home place and investment opportunity combined, with all the transportation facilities at its door, can-be found. Right here in the heart of such a community possessed of every gift that Nature and Providence could endow, Barnesdale offers you the opportunity that few should miss. Your foresight now, will bring to you her natural resources in Home-Life, Domesticity, Growth and Future, and the Investment Soundness which New Brit- ain’s record of the Past and her Tremendous Possibilities of the Future guarantee you. I urge you with all the sincerity which my past record instills in me, not to overlook the chance to be present and observe the good lots and sound investments which I am offering at auction at your own price.
