PROSECUTION OF GUILTY
Recommended by Unanimous Resolu-
tions of Capital Probers.

Beach Haven, N. j., Aug. 1S.-The
Joint commission of the Pennsylvania
legislature which has spent five
months investigating the frauds con-
nected with the erection and furnish
ing of the new state Capitol voted
unanimously to add the following to
Its report:
Resolved, That the governor shall
instruct the attorney general to insti-
tute civil and criminal proceedings
against all the persons specifically
named in the foregoing findings as in
volved in the fraudulent transactions
and against all other persons who
may be directly or indirectly in
volved."
In adopting this resolution, which
was prepared by Attorney James Scar
let, the commission met every official
and public demand made upon its ser
vices. 1t swept away in one sentence
every suspicion that it could be
swerved from duty by personal, party
or other considerations.
Senator John S. Fisher, chairman of
the Capitol investigating commission,
made the following statement: THE
report of the commission has been
agreed upon. 1t will now be tran
scribed and will be presented to the
governor on a date to be fixed by a
call of the chairman

looters were trying to force the safe
of the state bank.
Then from afar we heard the
shrieking and wailing of the Jews and
we knew they were being beaten and
murdered by the Arabs. There were
other indications that the French were
not able, with the small force at their
command, to secure possession of the
three landward gates. The increasing
number of Arabs engaged In the work
of pillage showed us that, attracted
by the sound of firing the tribesmen
we're galloping in to fulfill the dream
of the Arabs life, the looting of
town.
During the morning the French
cruisers Forbin and Du Chayla and
the Spanish gunboat Don Alvaro de
Bazan arrived, but it was o'clock in
the afternoon before further landing
parties succeeded in stemming the
looting in a small portion OF the
town"

Lootlna Of Casablanca.

A long despatch from an eye witness
Of the recent events at Casablanca.
Is dated August s. The writer says
that Saturday and Sunday passed per-
fectly quietly in Casablanca, Muley
Amin, the military governor, having
employed soldiers to guard the town
from Arab attack and done everything
possible conscientiOusiy to secure its
safety.
There were number of Arabs IL
miles distant" the writer goes on,
but majority of them mad returned
to their interrupted harvesting and it
was supposed the French would
attempt nothing with the small force
available from the Galilee. We all
retired to rest with quiet minds.
"At 4 o'clock Monday morning,
however, wa were suddenly alarmed
by summons to repair to the British
consulate owing to notice from the
Galilee that 1t was intended to land a
force and occupy the town at o'clock.
An American resident of many years,
Captain Cobb, declined to take shelter
at the British consulate; consequently
the consul sent part Of his guard of
soldiers to protect Captain Cobb"
The correspondent then describes
the landing of the French force be-
tween 5 and 6 and the subsequent
events as narrated in former des-
patches. Further he says:
with the firing of the first shot
the authority of Muley Amin and his
organization vanished. His soldiers
bolted with their rifles, leaving the
town exposed to pillage, in which they
themselves participated. BY break

staggering along the streets under
heavy burdens, and fierce white robed

fine horses began to ride about direct.

Even women were seen carrying
loads and assisting in the pillage. At

Making a New Manufacturing City.

Satisfied that Gary, Ind. will be the
steel capital of the world directors
of the United States Steel corporation
will invest an additional S45 900 in
the construction of the model city
and steel plant just across the Indiana
state line from Chicago.
The S45,0O0,00O is in addition to the
original appropriation of $75,000,00
estimated as the necessary outlay for
the building of the plant and for the
formation of the city which will house
the score of thousands Of workers
who will be employed at Gary when
the final plans of the steel kings have

The excess appropriation is to be

DREAMS OF COMING DEATH.
Cleveland Man Surprises Pittsburg In.
surance Company.

Pittsburg, Aug. 13.-Following a Sc
ries Of dreams In which were visions
of how he would meet with an awful
death in a railroad accident Leo A.
Adrian, a resident of Cleveland, O.,
has startled the insurance element OF
this city by canceling $4,000 insur-
ance policy. He does not believe In
playing sure thing on the corpora
tions who take long chances on the
lives of thousands, and It Is needless
to state that the policy was cancelled
es ordered by the following letter:
Cleveland, Aug s, 1907.
The Central Accident Insurance Com
pany of Pittsburg.
Gentlemen: The step | am now TAX
ing may appear strange to you, but it
is no more so than the motive that
leads me. | will therefore confine my
self to stating that l have absolute
and unmistakable knowledge that my
death will occur in about eight weeks
in consequence of a railroad accident
which will happen next month.
In view of this knowledge feel that
4 would be wronging you in taking adj
vantage of condition which neither
you nor had in mind when took ont
my policy (No. 825,712). |, therefore,
surrender the same to you without any
reserve and release you from this day
on of each and every obligation you
have undertaken when you issued said
policy to me.
Respectfully yours,
LEO A. ADRIAN,
Ill Chestnut avenue, Cleveland.
On Friday Adrian was mailed
check covering the unexpired prem
lum. Ralph Butler of the company
says this was done with the greatest
dispatch. Adrian took out the policy
in Atlantic City. His asking for its
cancellation is the first case on record
in this country. When interviewed
last night Adrian said
81 saw myself killed in a dream
within a few weeks. After | had the
first dream there were a number of
matters that | questioned. Then,
when each doubtful point was made
in the following dreams, began to un-
derstand that my death was sure to
come"
