WILL TALK IT OVER
Jules Cambon and Chancellor Von BueIoW Will Look Into
 Casablanca Incidents.

r
 Berlin, Aug 24.-German official circles deprecate the idea prevailing in certain foreign quarters that the visit of the French ambassador, Jules Cambon, to Chancellor Won Buelow at Norderney to-day was oc- casioned by the latest developments in Morocco and that Von Buelow's invitation to him means that Ger many is disquieted over the Casa blanca incidents and is about to change her attitude toward the French course in Morocco. The off, cials .here say that on the contrary the ambassadors visit to the chan cellor is due to the wish expressed in July by M. Cambon to see Prince Von Buelow, whose engagements prevented an earlier invitation. While the fighting at Casablanca has not caused the meeting of the two statesmen, they will talk over the Moroccan situation. Germany thus far sees no occasion fo depart from her previous policy of yielding to France and Spain the right to estab- fish order in Morocco.
 Official quarters continue to treat the Moroccan situation on a calm spirit.

Colonel Green Says the Pills Do Good
 and Are Better Than Bryanism.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24.-"The presidents speeches are like quinine," l" said Colonel E. H. R. Green. the Texas railroad man and son of Hetty Green, in a chat. "At first they're awful bit ter, these quinine pills, but they do you good after you have taken them"
 Referring to NIT. Roosevelt's words in his recent speech in regard to male- factors, Colonel Green added:
 I'm not a malefactor You must have S4.0O0,O00 or $5.0O0, 900 before you can be first class malefactor."
 I'm from Dallas. Texas" he con tinued. -and down there Roosevelt is considered as good man for a third term as most men would be for a first.
 Do think there will be any quick results from the president frankly expressed opinions? No: you know large bodies move slowly. Some of the big corporations have to be curbed in some manner, but how promptly there can be any remedy is not to be estimated.
 As for Bryan, it's this way: In Texas the Democrats are about ready to clutch at a straw like drowning men for a candidate for president. but I believe that even in their extremity they would not clutch at Bryan. They'd sink anyway if they did"

R. c. Dun & Co. Report Confidence
 In Continued Activity.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says that jobbing markets are well attend ed by interior buyers and country mer- chants, who operate with great free dom considering the financial strin- gency, which has compelled the post ponement of much contemplated struc- tural work. Yet many western and southern cities report building opera- tions far in excess of last years, and as the harvests progress there is more disposition to increase preparations for future needs. Retail stocks have been depleted by the customary bargain sales. and preparations for fall and winter trade indicate confidence in continued activity. At most domestic points there is no complaint regard. ing collections, but reports from Can ada indicate many requests for re- newals. Leading industrial plants ars we'll occupied, many mills having output sold far into 1908, and there is little serious interruption by strikes. A sharp rise in grain was the feature of the commodity markets, but best prices were not maintained.
 Stock market liquidation received check, but there was little activity, and prices recovered only moderately from last weeks closing figures. The best sign was an increase in smuli pur, chases by investors. Time money grew firmer. which did not encourage specu. lative purchases. Bank exchanges at New York were 32.1 per cent less than in the same week last year. when spec ulation was active. but at other leading cities there was an average gain of 16 per cent.
 Commercial failures this week in the United States are IFS against TIT last week, 1sS the preceding week and 167 the corresponding week last year.

WILL TALK AND EAT.
Republicans Took Trolleys for Lake
 wood This Afternoon.

Acting Mayor F. D. Buck is paying particular attention to the duties Of his office and the good things that are being said of him are causing John E. Sewell some uneasiness. For all one can tell the party may de- eide to sidetrack Mir Sewell for the mayoralty nomination and try MT Buck instead. All this will be gone over at the clambake this afternoon where the good and bad qualities of both will be given a thorough airing. The club left for the bake in trolley cars accompanied by band that dis coursed some inspiring music. The club members and their visitors were rolled back and forth in the cars along North Willow street to give them an appetite. Mir Sewell was one of the first to put in an appear ance and he looked like a man who was fully conscious of the fact that on the outcome of the deliberations of this afternoon depended his chance for the nomination. It was expected that the parade would be reviewed from the steps of the city hall, but the democrats failed to put in an ap- pearance. but few of the z O pt gathered there and gave the boys send of.

CortelyOu Will Deposit Funds In
 Banks All Over the Country.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou announced a new plan of depositing government funds in New York, Boston and other cities to afford relief to the money market in the approaching crop nov ing period. Secretary Cortelyou will, commencing next week, place each week at such points in the country as he shall designate government funds to such amount as he deems sufficient to prevent an acute monetary strin- gency and possible panic when the de- mand for money is greatest at the height of the crop moving period.
 The plan of the secretary for mone- tary relief is new to the financial world and one which he believes will prove more efficacious than the old method of the treasury department in waiting until the country was severely shaken financially and then coming to the relief at the last moment by plac- ing T large deposit of government funds in New York banks. Secretary Corteiyou did not state. how much money he would deposit each week. though he indicated that the amount would equal the situation.

500 TOo's CASE.
Governor Woodruff Will Not Issue
 Extradition Papers.

Soo Too Tong will not have to go to Brooklyn, N. Y., to answer to a charge of larceny. Governor Rollln s. Woodruff has come to the conclu- sion that Soo Too is being perse- cuted and that there is little or no evidence to show that he ever com mitted theft in New York, conse- uuently he had decided not to issue extradition papers.
 It is several weeks ago that 500 Too was arrested on the complaint of Houe Tick of Brooklyn, who claimed that Soo Too had done him out of $250 From the night that he was arrested until the present time the local Chinaman maintained that he was innocent and stated that he would fight the case tooth and nail. He said his arrest was caused by group of Chinamen of New York who were endeavoring to blackmail him because he prosecuted Chinaman in this city who owed him money. According to Soo Too he was at his store on North Main street WUSH lllC IObbCly Wuo ouP posed to have been committed in Brooklyn.
 He retained Attorney James Rus sell and Attorney Thomas F. Lawlor and they immediately instituted pro- ceedings to have the accused dis charged. The case came up several times in city court, but on each oc- casion had to be postponed because of the failure of any of the prisoners s accusers to arrive from New York. At length when a New York officer appeared at Hartford to obtain ex- tradition papers the local barristers were there to show that Soo Too should not be extradited. The New York people had very poor evidence consequently the governor is evi- yinced that Soo Too Tang is inno- cent.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney John McGrath said to-day the case against Soo Too would now be nolled

IN HAU'S BEHALF
His Counsel pr Dietz. Tells What Wife of the Condemned Man
 Had Told Him
HOPED FOR SUICIDE

Karlsruhe, Ger, Aug 25.--The case of Prof Karl Hau, formerly of Wash ington, D. C., convicted of the murder of his mother-in-daw. lrau Holitor. at Baden n-Baden,' November 5, last, continues to develop surprising fea- lures. pr Dietz, counsel for the pris- oner, has just published a 'panphIes giving what he terms his moral ius- tifieation for appealing the case. The lawyers representations made the suicide of Frau Hau, wife of the con- demned man, appear in a new light. Dr Dietz says he had four hours'talk with her May IS. when she first made known to him her intention to commit suicide. Answering his argument that 1t would create the impression that she regarded her husband as guilty of murdering her mother, Frau Hau said repeatedly that the motive which prompted her to take her life was that her husband was in his rihgt mind and that without her knowledge he went to London and Baden Baden to meet her sister Olga, aGiing that it was not the question whether he was a murderer, but his unfaithfulness to her which compelled her to commit suicide, which it was his duty to do.
 Frau Hau added that she had at various times prayed to God to induce Hau to commit suicide with her.

 Before her protest had been -e- ceived, however, General Palmer had heard of the proclamation and ordered that it be taken down, out of defer ence to Mrs Hayes. who Is the wife of J. 4. Hayes, banker in Colorado { Springs.

They were bound for the new home Zahorjansky had made in Barberton. O.
 The youngest child was taken i'll on the trip and on landing was taken te the hospital on Ellis island. The moth CT and remaining children went to Barberton on July 1. The child in the hospital has now recovered. and the immigration officials recently notified the parents to call for the child.
 Yesterday letter came from the ia ther saying that he had neither the time nor the money to come to New York for his child. The immigration officials are puzzling themselves as tc what will be their next step in the case.
 In the meantime the child is growing fat and having good time on Ellis island.
