oR 12 THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1908 “CURTIS FOLLOWED STARS OF OPERA RIVER KILLED CUSTOM, IS LAST PLEA CF COUNSEL er’s Over-Confidence in | Morse. JURORS VOTE, GUARDED | Secret Service Man Each to Polling Place in 4 Custody. Flection Day did not decrease the num- ber of spectators before Judge Hough when the curtain was raised at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon on next to the last | scene in the Morse-Curtis trial in the Criminal Branch of the United States Circuit Court. The jurors, having been escorted, one by one, under the custody of a nominal Deputy United States Mar- shal, who is in reality a Secret Service officer, to their polling places and per- | mitted to vote, were prepared to hear the final arguments of counsel in the trial. Besides the ever-faithful Mrs. Curtis, | were her sister, Mrs. Gardiner, and their friend, Mrs. Steele. Mrs. Morse was early on hand with three women | friends. There were also in court a @ozen other women. Strong Plea for Curtis. ‘The burden of Judge Olcott's closing | @rgument was that Curtis, after the ‘close of a quérter of a century of an honorable business career, could not have turned crook and violated exist- ing banking laws when he, Curtis) was not profiting personally a dollar by any of the so-called “dummy” loans. Counsel claimed that the bank presi- dent had not, even in the remotest de- | gree, speculated in any of the various Morse enterprises. If guilty of any- thing, he claimed, Curtis bad been but {thing is draped around it over-confident in Morse, the confidence being justified by then existing condi- | tUons, and shared by many other promi- nent men of finance. Mr. Olcott laid particular stress upon | “lack of dishonest intent’ and “mo- | tive,” and said that his client could not be held responsible .or the system which | was general in banking circles. | “Gentlemen,” he sald, “the evidence | shows that Morse was speculating, not | that the bank was speculating. Morse | was giving the profits to the bank—all of which pleased Curtis, who naturally wished to make a good showing to the directors, who had promoted him from cashier to president.” He declared that if Morse and he had been partners, in crime, Morse would have said: “Don't come to me, you Judas. Don't come to me with your Pharasaical ex- pressions of honestly. You are as guilty ONES Mr. Olcott had closed Mr, Stim- son commenced his closing argument | for the government | ———=—_.

On the way up the Bay Geraldine Farrar and Caruso had it all their own way as far as clothes went, and both jwon honors with their hats. Caruso wore a head covering of barred cloth, |turned up in front and jammed down behind lke an underdone dumpling, with @ fuzzy knob on top. M¥ss Farrar’s hat deserves a new sentence. In the words of the ship news reporter: Miss Farrar's Hat. “It Is a biscuit toss across from brim to brim, Six red roses, each as big as & county fair cabbage, are anchored to the crown. A kind of a blue ribbon amidships, ending aft with a running bowline on a bight. It's the classiest thing that's come in so far.” Miss Farrar, as soon as the reporters and Andre Dippel, the manager of the Metropolitan Opera-House, climbed aboard from the cutter, denied indig- nantly the cabled reports of her engage- ment to Antonio Scottj, who also was a basyenger. It's simply the annual report,” sald Miss Farrar, “and the only thing I can think of that might/have started it was that Mr. Scotti was singing in Berlin at the same time I was.” Tetrazzini Is Delighted. Luisa Tetrazzin!, of Mr. Hammer- stein's forces, was another of the opera singers to arrive. She returns from a season in Europe that called for twenty- eight performances of opera and four concerts, She was much delighted to hear she was to sing Rosina in the “Barber of Seville,” a part, she said, in which she had always been anxlous to appear in this. country. She has sung it abroad several times with great success, Alessandero Bonet, Adolph Muhimann, Otto Goritz, and Tullio Voghera, assist: ant conductor at the Metropolitan, were other persons celebrated in the realm of music to arrive. Albert Spalding, the American violin- ist whose playing has called for ex- | travagant praise in Europe, comes to open @ concern tour at Carnegie Hall on Nov, & He said he hoped to show that being an American was no reason why @ man couldn't be a good violinist. —_—>____ KILLED AS STEAMER RAMS FERRY-BOAT| Man Meets Death and Three Other Persons Injured on Potomac River. ‘WASHINGTON, Noy. 3—One man was Killed and two women and a@ child | injured early to-day in @ collision be- tween the Norfolk and Washington steamer City of Washington, bound from Norfolk for this city, and’ the) Weshington and Alexandria ferryboat Lackawanna, bound from Washington three miles below Washington.

Former Alderman P, Tecumseh Sher- son of Gen. W. T.

But Up to Noon Only 100 Had Been Cast in the Entire City. Do women want to vote? “Yes,” enthusiastically cry the Suf- fragettes, who hate erected balloting booths throughout the city In order that | the fair sex may have the privilege of | casting a vote, even though it does not count, “No,” feminine New Yorkers have de- cidedly answered to-day by refusing to stir from the family fireside to take co vantage of their ballot. For the Suffragettes’ plan to dais | this election day ladies’ day has met | with dire failure. Up to noon not more than a hundred women throughout the city had accepted the cordial invitation to come and cast a vote. Just to show mere man that women are still battling for the ballot and are perfectly capable of casting as intelll- | gent a vote as their brothers, the suf- fragists and suffragettes forgot and for- | gave past quarrels for the time being and joined forces in election booths to which they invited their sisters to vote. The Harlem Equal Rights League held | forth at One Hundred and Twenty-Arth street and Seventh avenue, in the Woods | Business School, while the more militant suffragettes camped out in the lobbies of Percy Williams's string of theatres, in New York and Brooklyn. Maude Malone, garbed in an incon- spicuous gray suit, but conspicuously Placarded on all sides with yellow signs | ying “Votes for women,” paraded | Harle ,'s busy thoroughfare, beseeching | fair aad otherwise dames and damsels to follow her to the booths. But while they listened with interest and ap- plauded her sentiments, few felt the call of the ballot strong enough to venture | into headquarters, | All Quiet In Harlem. | An Evening World reporter visited the various balloting booths this morn- | ing and saw the Suffragists and their adenirers| presiding over the frat wom. yoting booths ever conducted in this olty Atter climbing three pair of rickety stairs up to the Hartem headquarters, | a good sized room was reached which Was decorated with American bags and yellow banners.

Maley, Lavinia Leitch and Lille Devereux’ Blake, who comprise the ‘Blection Hoard, all heave sighs of | satisfaction each time @ vote is added to the meagre number. At the Colonial Theatre the Suf- fragettes are taking more vigorous measures to induce the reluctant falr sex to come and cast a vote. Mrs. Sophia Lobenger and Mrs. M Goldberg are out on the sidewalk on scouting duty, and each unsuspecting | female who crosses thelr path ts enter- | tained with the glories of the Suffra- te cause. “Come In and Vote.” “Come and cast your vote,” Mrs. Gold- berg Denesches, addressing a, radiant young thing who ig passing, led by a bull pup. ‘Women in Colorado vote, so not we? ye must prove that our effort ts earnust or we anal never he prantes the franchise, so for the cause come cast your vote. u don't understand what a vote | Then I'll @xplain’— but without | j waiting for that explanation the girl | | made her escape.
