EVENTS OF THE WEEK [ 
DOMESTIC.—Charles W. Morse, his 
three sons and 20 other individuals were 
indicted at New York April 27 by the 
Federal Grand Jury, which handed to 
Judge Julian W. Mack a presentment 
accusing them in a conspiracy to use the 
mails in a scheme to defraud in connec¬ 
tion with the sale of capital stock of the 
United States Steamship Company. Mr. 
Morse and his three sons and others of 
the defendants were also indicted by the 
Federal Grand Jury in Washington on 
February 27 in connection with ship¬ 
building contracts. The newer indict¬ 
ment said the conspiracy began on or 
about May 1, 1910. It charged that 
Morse and the other defendants were offi¬ 
cers. directors, attorneys, agents or other 
employees in the management of the 
Tauted Stales Steamship Company, a 
Maine corporation, and as such partici¬ 
pated in the operation of the corporation, 
and took part in or were parties to the 
alleged conspiracy. 
Forest fires in the vicinity of Laurel- 
ton, Lakewood, Point Pleasant and Bar- 
negat, N. J., were reported April 27 to 
have caused timber destruction amount¬ 
ing to $3,000,000. The State and county 
fire wardens fighting the tires were as¬ 
sisted by 2,500 citizen volunteers. 
One hundred and sixteen convicted men 
were on t he calendars of General Sessions 
and the criminal branches of the Supreme 
Court in New Y'ork City for sentence 
April 28, more than ever before had 
been arraigned for sentence in a single 
day. Sentences aggregating 458 years 
were imposed on 72 of them. Eugene 
Diaset and Maise Bagnoli, Corsicans, 
who took part in the capture and looting 
of the home of Albert R. Shat tuck. 19 
Washington Square North, the afternoon 
of April 2, were sentenced to not less 
than 40 years nor more than 60 each. 
Judge Mulqueen sentenced Harry Testa, 
convicted in General Sessions of robbery 
in the first degree as a second offender, 
to 30 years. The crimes for which the 
72 men were sentenced ranged from lar¬ 
ceny to murder. Judge Rosa]sky meted 
out sentence to 21 prisoners that totaled 
23S years in prison. 
Three non-union miners were killed 
and one injured when a bunk house near 
the Patterson mine at the Kiski Valley 
Coal Company nt West. Apollo, Pa., was 
dynamited April 30. A bomb was hurled 
through a window of the bunk house. 
Seven men were sleeping in the room at 
the time. Property damage estimated at 
$125,000 was caused, and the mine of 
the Stuart Collieries Company at Sum- 
merlee, Fayette County, ’W. Va„ was 
wrecked April 28 by jin explosion of un¬ 
determined origin. No one was injured. 
The death of a child, the burning of a 
barn and the beginning of one of the 
worst bush fires the Pawcatuck Valley 
has seen in years were caused by two 
children playing with matches at Wood 
River Junction. R. I., May 2. The two 
small sons of William Perkins were play¬ 
ing in the barn when their mother saw 
smoke coming from the roof. She rushed 
out and found the barn in flumes, but 
was in time to save the younger child, 
three years old. William, four years old. 
was burned to death. The fire consumed 
the barn, swept across the highway and 
up the Pawcatuck Valley, leveling sev¬ 
eral hundred acres of timber. May 3 
200 residents, assisted by workmen sent, 
by the New York, New Haven & Hart¬ 
ford Railroad, were fighting the flames 
and saving buildings. 
April 30 two persons were killed and 
14 injured in a fire that swept a wooden 
tenement house in Richmond Hill, Bor¬ 
ough of Queens, New York City. 
April 30, 3,500 square miles of land 
was flooded by breaks -in Mississippi 
River banks.
