REPORTS ASSAULT ON FLAG.
Alleged Effort of Police Chief to Haul
Down Emblem.

Washington, Aug. 21.-A brief COM
mmication touching the recent Incl
dent at Logansport, Ind, when Chief
of Police Graham endeavored to COM
pei the removal of an American flag
flying from window of room, rent
ed for marine corps recruiting pur-
poses, has been received here from
Lieut.. Claybourn McCauley. Lieut..
McCauley is in charge OF recruiting
work in the state of Indiana. Cor
poral Murtaughs was in charge Of the
office at Logansport, and he vigorous
ly resisted the efforts of the chief Of
police to have the national emblem
taken down. Lieut.. McCauley incloses
in his communication a large number
of newspaper clippings giving graph
ic accounts of the incident, but he
makes no extended comment on it,
ascribings it to the ignorance of the
police official who tried to interfere
with the flying of the flag. No ac-
ton is necessary in the matter by the
officers here.

oFFlcIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
FRENCH FEAR MASSACRE
FOREIGNERS ARE PLANNING TO
FLEE, FROM FEz.
New Sultan in Power and General
Exodus to Tangiers May
Follow.

Paris, Aug. 21.-The government
has been advised that the members
Of the French colony at Fee, fearing
an explosion of fanaticism, especially
against the French, will leave for
Tangier. 1t is presumed that the
French consul and the French military
mission will not accompany them.
The Moroccan government has
agreed to furnish an escort to the
French party and the shereefs have
agreed to assist in protecting them,
but nevertheless the five-day trip to
the coast is considered dangerous.
The government has received con-
frmation of the report that Mulai
Hafig, the sultan's brother, has been
proclaimed sultan The news is Great
ing excitement, especially in the
neighborhood of Sat-
The governments advices from Ma
zagan are disquieting. The situation
there generally looks grayer
The government has received con-
hrmation from Fee of the report that
the sultan has declared his intention
to send a deputation of notable Moors
to Tangier, but neither the object of
the mission nor the date of its depar-
ture is announced. Competent circles
here are sceptical as to whether the
depUtation will ever leave the capital.
The announcement is regarded as a
bluff on the part of the sultan to APP
tease the anti-foreign sentiment of
the fanatics.
Casablanca. Aug. -Undeterred by
their great losses Monday, estimated
by Jewish couriers at 1000 dead, the
Moors again advanced in a great semi.
circle with the evident intention OF
enyeloping the city. The guns Of

TAFT TALKS al COLUMBUS.
Makes political Confession Of Faith"
Is for Tariff Revision.

Columbus, o., Aug. 21.-William
secretary of war, made what he
was pleased to term his political con-
fession of faith" at Memorial hall
Monday night. Mr.. Taft made no
formal announcement Of his presiden-
tial candidacy, but he was introduced
by Gov. Harris as the next president
of the United States, which was the
signal for a prolonged outburst of ap-
plause.
Special interest was manifested In
Secretary Taft's utterances ON the tar
iff. He reiterated his previous dec
larations in favor of revision and de-
clared that it would be both unwise
and unsafe for the Republican party
to fail to pledge itself to revise the
Dingley bill as soon after the next
presidential election as possible.
Mr.. Taft also declared in favor Of
imprisonment of individuals for viola
tons of the antitrust law and for the
giving or accepting Of rebates.

PAMPHLET ISSUED BY STAND.
ARD DIRECTORS HITS THE
UNITED STATES COURT.
CHARGES CASE WAS

Concern Declares Itself innocent, and
Says Important Evidence Was
Kept Out of Trial-Gives Extracts

New York, Aug. 21.-The directors
of the Standard Oil company have IS
sued pamphlet to its employees and
stockholders relative to the fine of
$29,240,000 imposed on the Standard
Oil company Of Indiana. The pamph-
let contains statement from Presf-
dent Moffett, president of the Stand
ard Oil company of Indiana, and a
number of editorial articles favorable
to the company, taken from various
American newspapers.
Call Company Innocent.
The especially noteworthy feature
of the pamphlet is its Introductory
statement, which is as follows:
The directors of the Standard OIL
company in printing this pamphlet de-
sire to emphasize for the half million
people directly interested in its vel
fare the assurance of the company's
absolute innocence of wrongdoing in
any of the prosecutions lately institute
ed against it in the federal courts.
Particularly is this SO In the present
Chicago &"Alton railroad case, made
notorious by the sensational fine of
$29;240,000 imposed on the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana.
Not Case Of Relating.
ut should be known as widely as
possible that this is no case of rebate
or discrimination, but simply Of the
legality of freight rate. 1t should
be known that the verdict was obtain
ed by the government upon the most
hair-splitting technicality, aided by the
rigorous exclusion of evidence that
would have removed all presumption
Of guilt"

Deserter Arrested by Civil Officer ii
Custody Of United States.

y F.I g.
Washington. Aug. 17.-Several in
teresting decisions by the war depart
ment bearing on various features Of
the service have been announced.
A deserter arrested by civil officer
authorized by United States statute to
aDprshend deserters from the army is
in the custody of the United States, it
is held, and under the decisions Of the
Supreme court the state courts have
no jurisdiction to interfere.
1t has been decided that conceal
ment by an applicant for enlistment Of
. previous application to enlist, which
fact would have caused his rejection,
shall constitute, in the event of his
enlistment, an act of fraudulent enlist
ment.
A deserter who is in the Philippines
in immediate contact with the military
authorities, still passing under his
military name, is not considered alb
sent from the United States In the
sense contemplated by heSstatute Of
limitation, and that statute does not
therefore operate tsspreyent the grant
ing Of daHErser's release in such a

ings, since 1854 trusted official at
the United States subtreasury in this
city, was arrested Friday on the charge
OF embeazlfng $4,000 from the govern

ington to be retired from circulation,
and the shortage was made good by
another clerk who technically was re-
sponsible, but who at no time was un-
der suspicion.
Hastings record for 43 years serv-
ice was practically faultless. The one
who made good the shortage because
Of his technical responsibility was ].
H. vassar, the specie clerk, who count
ed the money previous to shipment.
The restitution on his part practically
wiped from him his life savings.

treasury department at Washington,

and found to contain s4.950. On his
arrest Friday he collapsed, and it was
some minutes before he could be taken
before United States Commissioner
Hayes for arrangement. He was held
