HAS $6,OOO,OOO BRAIN
Friends So Value ROSenthal,
Standard Oil Lawyer.
RETAINING FEE $1,000 A DAY
StupendOus Valuation of Human

Combat CnSe set Up by the Govern
ment-His Legal Career.

New York. Oct. 26.-It was learned to-
day that Morltz Rosentnal, the Standard
OTs thousand-dollar-a-d lawyer. is the
originator of the unique defense to be
made by the hundred -million-dollar cor
poration in the governments suit to dis
solve It,
1t was because of his conception Of the
defense that the Standard OH employed
him at the unprecedented salary. which
began last spring and is to continue until
the case is closed, which probably will
not be within a year from this date rs
timating RosenthaIs salary TO represent
return of six per cent upon an invest
ment or property value, his friends here
today figured out that the actual mar
ket value Of his brain exceeds $4,000 O0O.
Rosenthal's friends say he is think.
ing machine" They say he has sys-
tematized his thought until he has de-
veloped a mental mechanism of remark
able power. Yet there is little in the
clear-cut appearance of the man to sug
gest heavy mental strain. He IS forty
one years old, yet the newspaper men
in the courtroom guessed his age as
thirty.
He is associated in the case with John
G. Milburn. of New York, and John $.
Miller, OF ChicagO-twO of the foremost
corporation lawyers in the country. Many
other attorneys representing various
branches Of the Standards interests also
have part in carrying out the defense.
Modest rs to Ability.
This man, with the ''six-million-dollar-
brain" evidently believes that his body is
the strong box in which his treasure is
stored. He is proud Of his physical con-
dltion, and will not talk Of himself ex-
cept in connection with his strength and
health, and he will preach fresh air, ex-
ercise, and sleep 10 any one who viii
listen.
ROsenthal was born in DixOr. H., In
1866. and was graduated from the Uni
versity OF Michigan in 1888 He went
back to Dixon, read law, and was ad-
mitted 10 the bar in 1890 He served as
assistant United States district attorney
in Chicago from 1894 until 1897. He prose
cuted Eugene V. Debs on the charge Of
conspiracy. following the great strike Of
the American Railway Union in 1884
Debs was acquitted Of conspiracy. but
went to jail for six months for contempt
Of court
He represented the Cudahy interests In
the famous beef trust cases OF 1906 and
Chicago as special counsel in the trac-
ton troubles.

WESTINGHOUSE IS SOLVENT

Plttsburg, Pa, Oct 26.-The receivers
Of the Westinghouse Machine Company

the first since they were appointed:
The undersigned desire 10 assure the
clients Of the Westinghouse Machine
Company and all others interested. that
there is no occasion for apprehension
because Of the company's' application for
a receivership.
This action was deliberately and
thoughtrully taken as a sensible and
logical measure fOr conserving the In
terests Of the customers. creditors. ard
stockholders Of a solvent institution.
which Is doing a large and profitable
business.
From such examination OF its affairs
"a the receivers have been able 20 make
In the short time during which they
have been in charge of the property, Il
would appear that the Westinghouse Ma
chine Company has been suffering from
nothing more serious than q rapidly
growing and profitable business.
This has neCessitated the employment
OF considerable borrowed capital and
credit throughout the country the sudden
withdrawal Of which would have seriously
interfered with the manufacturing opera
tions OF the company.
There has not been even a momentary
pause IN the operations Of the capital
and the personnel remains the same as
heretofore. There VIII be no departure
from the general policy that has hitherto
obtained IN the conduct Of the business.
and the receivers will during their in-
CumbenCy. spare no pains 10 foster and
maintain the cordial relations that have
always existed between the Westinghouse
Machine Company and its customers.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. B.-So deter

thraeite region to keep President John
Mitchell at the head of the union for
another term that many OF the locals
throughout the region. despite his asser-
ticn that he is not candidate for re-

The mine workers believe that while he

applaud President Roosevelt for turning
on the lights. There are others who con-
denim him for searching for a gas leak

his country for fraud and corruption and

President Roosevelt fails to enforce the

only two conclusions. either the ju-
dietary system OF the United states is

earth or the Executive has utterly failed
in his duty TO enforce the law as it would
be enforced under similar circumstances,
in Great Britain for instance.
Either Of these conclusions, they say.

tial attitude II 1t is the judiciary system
that is at fault, why IS not President
Roosevelt agitatins for judicial reform,
which is the root Of the evil instead OF
shouting about the effect Of the absence
OF this elementary safeguard Of society
On the other hand, if the courts are all
right Il must be the fault Of the Execu-
tive If the big thieves and robbers were
not sent to the penitentiary long ago.
In other words. according 10 foreign
conservative opinion, It is obvious that
President Roosevelt has either done too
much or not enough, and one is about
as bad as the other. All classes OF finan-
cial opinion here agree as to the arti-
fetal character Of the panic. and that II
Is not justified by any adverse conditions
affecting the general prosperity of the
country. 1t Is agreed also that nothing
would SO effectively restore public con-
idence as the knowledge that great hnan-
cial crimes would really be punished.
Meantime the best financial advisers are
now pointing out to British and con-
tinental investors that the time has come
for getting very remunerative bargains In
American securities. The Spectator goes
so far as TO remark that, 1T Is not too
much TO say that the present moment IS

BATTLE IS NEAR IN MOROCCO
Moorish Pretender Is Encamped
Eighteen Miles from MOgadOr.
lIuini Hnhd Determined to Fight
Lest His Followers Lose Their
Faith in Him.

T3ngiers. Oct. 26.-Sultan Add FL Azlz' s
garrison from Mogador is hurrying TO
give battle to the forces of Mulai Hafid,
the Moorish pretender or sultan Of the
South" as the tribesmen call him, en-
camped eighteen miles from the town.
AIulai evidently thinks his followers
would lose faith in him were he 10 fall
back following his defeat before Mogador.
He has brought up the balance Of his
army to re-enforce the body beaten off
from the city earlier in the week. and
awaits the enemy's attack in battle array.
The Mogador garrison numbers 1900 na-
tive troops. supported by about an equal
number Of the Anfious tribesmen, who
remain loyal TO Add Fl Aziz, and probably
by a small force Of French. though
France does not profess 20 be taking
part In the struggle. Mulai has about
$500 men under him.
The French consul at Mogador pre-
vailed on the native governor to resist
Mulai. and at his request a second French
cruiser Joined the Galilee, which already
lay in the harbor. The garrison fought
desperately, the two cruisers aided them
by shelling the attacking force. and
Mulafs men-about half Of his 5000 fol-
lowers-were beaten back in much disor-

STREET CAR TENDERS.
Improved Device of a German Merchant
Wins Dresden's Prize.

Consul Thomas H. Norton, of Chemnitz,
writes hat the growing necessity for bet
ter protection against the dangers ARISING
from swift-moving electric cars in crowd
ed streets has elected many devices in
German, where governmental requirements
in this connection are far more rigid than
in America The consul furnishes the
following particulars Of the latest i'm
provement along this line:
Four years agofthe City Council Of Ores
den offered prizes amounting to $500 for
the most effective tenders. over 400 de-
vices have been submitted and put to
practical tests. A merchant of Dresden
has received the first prizA of 81, coo. His
fender has been tried for a long time
on one of the car lines and has shown
itself to be nearly a perfect protective
device undef all possible conditions. 1t
Is easily attached to the current forms
OF ear construction. For months past
leather manikins, OF life size, have been
placed day and night before the ears on
the experimental line in every possible
position. and without exception they have
peen deItly picked up and carried along
without suffering the slightest injury. The
SAINT results have been secured where dogs
also where upright bottles filled with LIQUID
have stood before the cars in rapid move
ment.
The successful lender is now to be at
tached generally to the cars on the city
lines. Interesting in this connection is the
fact that Dresden is one of the few cities
in Germany owning its street car lines.
and that the care bestowed upon insurine
safety in the streets Is an outcome of
municipal ownership.
