HE PROMISED TOO MUCH.
A Pretender to the Throne of Morocco
Made Fugitive.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE pretender to
the throne, with large following, at
tackled the Moroccan army at daybreak
on November 3, says a dispatch from
Fee to the Times. by way of London.
The invaders penetrated the camp but
the sultan's troops rallied and drove off
the rebels whom they pursued, inf1icting
much loss
The pretender, with some of his fol-
lowers, took refuge in a native castle
which the troops attacked, captured and
burned on November 4. Many rebels
were killed or taken prisoners, but the
pretender escaped.
The pretenders former followers are
now said to be searching for him. His
prestige is alleged to have vanished, as
he promised miraculous Intervention
and the complete humiliation of the sui
tan's troops.
The foregoing does not mean that the
Berbera rebellion has been crushed, but
that only a local rising near Thesa,
three days journey east of Fee, has
been put down.
In that district a pretender claimed
the throne as the elder brother of the
sultan. He was formerly an ordinary
soldier.

the car department was added and suit

NEW ROAD OPENED.
Katy's Line to Bartlesville Is Ready
for Train Service.

Coffeyville, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE M. K.
& o. railroad has been completed to
Bartlesville and formally turned over to
the M K. & T. Railroad company.
A party of NJ. K & T. officials arrived
here from Parsons this morning and at
once went over the new road on Il tour

pose of opening the stations at Wann,
Dewey and Bartlesville.

superintendent A. E. Boughner. Travel
ing Auditor o. C. Jacobs and Roadmas-
ter Klein of the NJ. K. & T. and Mr.
Grigsby of the Grigsby- Kinser Con-
struction company.
The new timecard, which goes into
effect today shows that there will be
three regular trains each way per day.
The distance to 3artlesville is about so
miles and the territory thus opened will
give new and valuable field to the
business institutions of Coffeyville
which it is hoped will be properly ap
preciated Two full trains of stock are
due to arrive here this afternoon from

building of a large nuDaber of new loco
motives is contemplated. This in br1cf
is the business to be handled at this
point.
In the new shops the Iatter-day prac-
tice of concentrating several of the de-
partments in one large building has
been followed, the machine and erecting
shop and the boiler and tender shops all
being under one roof. Other new build
ings are central power station, a large
blacksmith shop, an office building for
the shop superintendent, three large
lavatories and an underground oil steF-
age house. The wheel shop shown in the
plan has not yet been begun its erection
bei1-g postponed until a future time
Zach of the new buildings is describ
ed in detail, and the writer says in part,
in his description of the big machine
shop:
This is a splendid building and re-
markable in at least two particulars.
One of these is the roof construction of
the side bays and the other is the di-
mansions, $50 feet long and 1855 feet 10
inches wide making it the longest and
possibly the largest shop of this kind
in the country. 1t is divided into three
bays, the central of which is "A feet 8
inches wide. The north half of the
building is the boiler and tender shop
and TIE south half the machine and
erecting shop. This latter has longi-
tudinal tracks, three in number. placed
in the central bay and spaced % feet
centers.
THE foundations of the building, as
has already been mentioned in connec-
ton with the power station. are con-
crete running down to the first clay
stratum. The steel frame work has four
rows of columns. each column resting
on a heavy concrete pier and spaced %
feet centers. The piers for the columns
supporting the main truss also carry
the columns for the crane Orders. The
main trusses are braced Iongitudinally
