FRENCH FLANK WAS
TURNED BY MOORS
ARRIVAL OF REINFORCEMENTS
ALL THAT SAVED DEFEAT AT
RECENT CASEBLANCA BATTLE.

PARIS, September 5.-The latest
advices from Casa Blanca telling of
Tuesdays fight place the situation in
more alarming colors than ever. 1t
now appears that the Moors actually
succeeded in turning the French flank
and were in a fair way to cut them
of from the camp when reinforce.
ments arrived and saved the day for
the French, slaughtering the Moors
right and left The Moorish losses
are now placed at about 1000.
Major Provost was at the head of
his men and had just cried: Forward
my children, forward" when he fell
with a bullet through his heart. A
desperate fight at once began and cen
tered around the body of the fallen
commander of the Foreign Legion, the
French refusing to abandon the body
of their leader and the MOoTs making
every effort to capture it. The French
horsemen held their ground until re-
Inducements from the camp arrived
and the Moors were driven off with
tremendous losses. 1t was during this
engagement that the French flank was
turned.
The French newspapers say the
magnitude of this engagement has es-
tablished the fact that France is now
involved in actual war and not en-
gagged in a mere expedition of pacifi-
cation"
Foreign Minister Pichon announces
the sending of a note to the Powers
informing them that the Moroccan
Minister of War Mohammed Gahas,
has admitted his inability to guarantee
the lives of European instructors to
the proposed police force, according
to the terms of the Algeciras confer
ence.
The Petit Republique publishes a
dispatch from Tangier saying that
Jews there have received letters an
nouncing that Mazagan has been bonn
barded and that only few shops and
houses in the center of the town are
left standing.

STANDARD OIL IS
GRANTED RESPITE
GOVERNMENTS SUIT TO DISSOLVE
THE TRUST is POSTPONED TWO
DAYS.

! NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The taking of
suit brought by the United States gov
ernment at st. Louis last September
to dissolve the Standard Oil Company
under the provisions of the Sherman
antitrust law, was postponed today
until Thursday at the request of coun-
sci for the defendant company. 1t Was
announced that the adjournment of
the hearing would really facilitate
matters, inasmuch as the opposing at
torneys are in consultation over vari-
GUS matters which could best be han
died, in their preliminary stages at
east, out of court.
The attorneys for the government
were ready to proceed when former
Judge Franklin Ferris, of St. Louis,
the special examiner appointed by the
federal court, took the bench in the
United States circuit court room to-
day but offered no opposition to the
order of postponement requested by the
defense.
No such letter was however presented
in court, either by Judge Lands or Dis
trict Attorney Sims, the successor of
district Attorney Morrison. When the
court opened today District Attorney
Sims said:
II am here, if the court please, in the
matter of the grand jury investigation
and in that matter 1 have to ask the
court or / wish to make a motion for a
postponement in compliance with the
suggestion of the court, made at the
time of the convening of the present
grand jury. The facts and circum-
stances in connection with the matter
under investigation have been submit
ted to the department and 1 had ex-
pected to have been able to report to
tn court this morning its views and
findings. Very recently, however, a
situation has arisen which, in my judg-
ment, makes it highly desirable that
ave time to submit to the department
certain facts and circumstances in ad-
dition to those already submitted.
For these reasons l request that
further action in the matter be post
poned for three or four weeks. l re-
gret the necessity for asking the court
for this postponement but it seems to
me in view of what l know in connec-
ton with the case to be unavoidable '
Mr.. Sims asked for three weeks de-
lay, which Judge Lands granted.
After leaving the court room, Dis
riot Attorney Sims declared that he
Intended to submit certain facts to thC
attorney general and said they haC
risen within a few hours. He sale
that he would have to go to Washing
on within short time to present per
sonally to the attorney general his rea
sons for asking the postponement.
