Berlin. Sept. 19.-F'rench fears Of
..continued German duplicity" in Mo-
rocco are declared by disinterested au-
thorities in Berlin to be devoid OF
foundation, A diplomat, who is In
touch with Germany's real aims, said
yesterday:
"The kaiser is disposed to get out OF
Morocco as quickly as possible in con-
sequence of the radical change in the
worlds political situation, caused by
the rebuilding of the Anglo-Japanese
and the Franco Russian alliances. The
German government is satisfied that it
has vindicated it's prestige in forcing
France to agree to an International
conference 1t understands that 1t Is
Impossible for the fatherland to play
the predominant role in the settlement
of Moroccan affairs when it is con-
fronted by France Britain and Rus
sia.
t'That realization explains Germany's
indifference to the details of the con-
ference. The only bone of contention
now is the seat of the conference and
this probably will be solved by COM
promise whereby the meeting will open
in Tangier and then will adjourn either
to Madrid or Paris or some other nom
Moroccan city. In regard to the Tan
gier l1arbor improvements and the sui
tan's foreign loan Germany is disposed
to give way, submitting these matters
to the conference for it's decision, Ger
many now is simply one of the several
powers participating in the conference,

Rivermen Think it Will Not
Go Over the Danger Line,
However
FREsHET's CREST ALMOST HERE
It is the Opinion that It will be Reached
In the Next Twenty-fo Hours
Rise of Over Fourteen Feet In Twen-
ty-four Hours Is Reeorded-Much

st. Louis, Sept. 19-The stage Of the
Mississippi river measured 27.03 feet
this afternoon, a rise of over fourteen
feet in twenty-four hours, flood tide.
1t is still creeping higher, although
slowly. In the opinion of river men.
the crest of the freshet will have been
reached within the next twenty-four
hours, and it will not go over the dan-
ger line.
Thousands of acres of corn land are
under water and farmers will suffer
a tremendous loss. Hundreds of head
Of live stock have been drowned.
Twelve persons have lost their lives.
The loss to railroads is enormous.
Miles Of tracks are washed away, and
dozens of steel bridges are swept out,
as well as hundreds Of smaller bridges
and culverts. Railroad traffic in cen-
trail Missouri is paralyzed, and there
is no longer direct communication be-
tween ST. Louis and Kansas City BY
rail.
Central Missouri towns have had no
mail for three days, and there Is slight
prospect they will get any tomorrow
or the next day. The Missouri Pacific
and Missouri, Kansas and Texas have
run no trains over their tracks be-
tween st. Louis and Kansas City since
Saturday morning, and the Wabash
and Alton have been forced practically
to abandon operations today.
The only means of communication
remaining between the two cities is By
a roundabout way.
In several towns the lighting plants
and large industrial enterprises have
been almost destroyed by the flood.

mec, and other tributaries Of the Mis-
ssouri are cut Oft their banks and rising

In some places the rise of the Mis-

RAILROAD EXPLAINS RATES.
Defendant Tells Of the Arbitrary
Switching Costs in Chicago.

SWitchIn9 IoStS IN Snlca9o.
Kansas City, Sept 19.-Answer was
filed yesterday in the United States
circuit court by the Chicago and Alton
Railway Company to contempt pro-
ceedings brought last August by the
government. The answer asks that the
Chicago and Alton be discharged from
contempt proceedings upon the pay
ment of reasonable costs.
It is admitted by the railroad that an
arbitrary price has been charged for
switching cars in Chicago but it Is
stated that the custom prevails among
all of the roads of paying connecting
carriers upon whose lines or terminals
a large amount of traffic originates, an
arbitrary share of the through rate. A
percentage is fixed by the railroads on
whose lines the freight is transferred
<on the through rate of shipment.
It is further stated that 20 per cent
of the through rate was received by the
Illinois Northern road on all traffic
originating upon it's line, because the
Illinois Northern threatened to divert
traffic to other competing roads.

THE GRISW0LD CASE
Police Are Still at Sea a. to How or
Who Committed the crme-Leather
satchel With Money in 1t Said to
Have Been Found.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 19.-The mys-
terry of the murder of George r. Girls
,wold is as deep as ever today. 1t is
claimed the leather satchel which he
carried when last seen was found yes
terday but the police deny this. 1t is
said, however, tbs: they wished to
keep the fact of it's discovery secret.
One story was to the effect that there
was roll of bills in the satchel when
found, which, if true, would indicate
more strongly than ever that robbery
was not the motive for the crime.
There are a good many things tending
to discourage the belief that Griswold
was murdered for money. Some think
he was the victim of a conspiracy, and
that he was killed unintentionally by
fright while bound and being subject
to threats and torture in order to make
him reveal some secret he may have
been known to possess. That when
the conspirators found they had un-
willingly killed their victim they
turned the pockets inside out and took
the mans watch to give the appear
ance of murder for purposes Of rob-
berry.
So far as has been ascertained, Mr..
Griswold carried about $4,000 of life
insurance at the time of his death, all
but $4,000 of which was held with his
wife as beneficiary. One policy of
$4,000 was made out to his mother,
while one Of $4,000 in the Northwestern
Mutual Life of Milwaukee and one of
$4,000 in the company with which he
was connected We're payable to his
wife In addition to these he carried
a $4,000 accident policy which will be
payable provided the murder theory is
proved
