handsome, rollicking youth of II,
whose sudden disappearance from his

An affecting scene ensued.

and the son was found.
1t seems that the youth ran away
from home to have good time, and
was arrested at Springfield, Mo-,
charged with stealing four sweaters.
He denied the theft, alleging that they
had been given him. He also told the
Judge that he was II, but that official
did not believe his story, and gave him
two years in the penitentiary. Under
the law of Missouri no person under

matter up and the governor will issue
pardon.

THE MOROCCAN SITUATION
The Activity of the German Coma
mercial Agents Causes the
French to Doubt.

Paris, Aug 2.-The activity of the
German commercial agents and officials
with reference to the Moroccan situa-
ton is causing grave doubts on the
part of the French people as to Ger
many's good faith. Despite the deci-
sion of the two governments not to in
terfere with the status quo until the in
ternational conference, the Germans
are trying their utmost to extract COM
mercial concessions from the sultan,
hoping thereby to strengthen Ger
many's position at the conference. In
guiries in well-in.ormed circles, how
ever, show that ii Is not believed that
Germany is officially authorizing these
efforts to secure advantage, though diff
ferences are likely to arise from this
action, with consequent protraction OF
negotiations. Count Won Tattenbach-
Ashold appears to be furthering the
efforts of the German agents, which
already have resulted in securing con
cession for the construction of wharves,
while strong efforts are being made to
OBTAIN a cable concession and the &C.
ceptance of a German loan. Such pro
ceedings, it is believed here, do no
tend to hasten a friendly understand
ing. but the approaching interview be
tween Premier Rouyier and Prince
Won Radolin, the German ambassador
to France is expected TO result in the
dispelling of doubts and the compile
lion of a satisfactory arrangement.
