STATE POLICE
They Raided the Swell Wee Burn Coli Club To-Day and Were
 Successful
COSTLY LIQUORS FOUND

South Norwalk, Sept. 12.-The Wee Burn Golf club, located in Noro- ton, and frequented by millionaries, from the surrounding territory, and the scene of many notable golf matches and favorite haunt of the aristocrats from Collenders point and Stamford and Norwalk, has been raid- ed by the state police, and the stew ard will be arrested on warrants is- sued by Liquor Prosecutor William o. Clark, of South Norwalk, charg- ing him with selling liquor without a license. The stock of rare wines, im- ported liquors, fizz of ancient vintage and cordials brought from the ends of the earth will be confiscated and de- stroyed, that is, providing it does not disappear in the meantime for the state police made burgle in not seizing the liquor when they visited the place.
 The raiding of the exclusive club house was all mistake, as the state police were not gunning for private clubs. They, however, heard of it as being Smiths hotel, Herman Smith acting as steward of the place.
 They made their report to Prose- cutting Liquor Agent Clark that they had secured evidence against Smiths hotel, and he spent two days going over Darien trying to locate the hos- telry or Boniface Smith, Finally it dawned on him that it must be the Wee Burn Golf club, where the liquor was bought Investigation showed it to be true and there was nothing left to do but go ahead with the prosecution.
 It is understood that the golf links has United States license, but no state license of any kind.
 Prosecutor Clark and Deputy Sheriff John w. Scully started out this morning with their pockets stuff ed full of warrants, all of which will be served to-day and the owners o. places will probably be in court on Saturday.
 These include Francis Lemongelli's City hotel, Dorlon's Point, Roton Point in the Norwalks, Haggerty's Tooker house, Carter's restaurant, Weiseit's Half Way house and the Columbia hotel, in Darien.

.MoORS BEATEN
French and SpanishAllied Troops SWoop Down on Their Camp
 and Defeat Them . -
MANY WERE KILLED

Casablanea, Wednesday, Sept. 12. The allied Franco-Spanish army to-day made a sudden and successful move on Taddert, where the Moors were massed in force. The camp of the latter was destroyed by lombard ment and the enemy was put to flight, leaving many dead on the field. The French lost one man killed and six men wounded.
 The attack on the Moors was based largely on the observations of their positions made from the French mil itary balloon. The allied army which was divided into two columns, left the camp at 6 a. m, leaving sev- eral companies of infantry to defend the base at Casablanca. The march was skillfully carried out under the cover of. fog until within half way to Taddert, when the fog lifted and disclosed several large bands of the enemy. The allies then charged sev- enemy. The allies charged enemy at point of the bayonet and although the Moors resisted with tlleir old time courage they were finally con- pelled to retreat in the face of su- perior force, and both of the columns of allied troops advanced on Taddert. After the bombardment of tat place by the French artillery as well as by the guns of the French cruiser Gloire the allied infantry advanced on the Moorish camp, wkere tie enemy was making last desperate stand A short engagement followed and the Moors fled in wild disorder, pursued for several miles by the ir- regular Algerian cavalry in the French service. The Moorish camp was completely destroyed The ex- act loss of the Moors is not known as they carried away any of their dead.
 The allied army, later, returned to Casablanca.

GEAR IN DANGER
His Yacht on the Rocks and Said
 to Have Been Sent Their By .l. Design. e-

St Petersburg, Sept. 12.-No official announcement has been made here as yet regarding the grounding of the Imperial yacht Standart off Horsoe, near :Hango, Finland, yes terday afternoon. The news has been withheld even from the enl- bassies, no hint of the accident has been allowed to reach the public and the newspapers have been forbidden to publish word on the subject un- der pain of heavy fines and inlprison- ment, as provided for by the recent drastic order prohibiting the publi- cation of unofficial news regarding the imperial family. :.
 The Associated Press, however, learns that the grounding of the yacht, on board of which were Elm peror Nicholas and Empress Alexan- dra and their family, produced a de- pressing effect upon Captain Stagin, the commander of, the vessel. The Standart lies in most unfavora ble position upon some rocks which are submerged at high tide, but eX- emplary order was maintained on board and news of the disaster be- ing telegraphed to the naval authori- ties a number of warships and a salvage steamer were hurried to Horsoe. At 10 o'clock last night the Imperial party left the Standart and were taken on board the dis patch boat Asia, while urgent orders were telegraphed to St Petersburg to have the Imperial yacht Alexandra sent to Horsoe where she is expected in the course of the day.
 The Standart is a steel vessel launched at Copenhagen in 1895 and has a displacement of over $500 tons. Her engines are of 10,60O horse power, giving her an estimated speed of nearly 22 knots. She car ries about 900 tons of coal, has two propellors and is rigged as a three masted schooner. Her length on the water-line is 370 feet, she measures 425 feet over all, has over 52 feet beam and draws 20 feet of water. The yacht is fitted with watertube boilers, has two sets of triple ex- pension engines, carries a crew of 37O officers and men and mounts eight S-pound quick firing guns. At tached to the imperial yachG are three tenders, the Peterhof, Bull- chug and 'Dagmar, which act as guard, boats. and at the time nf tic aceirshnt she was escorted " en torpedo boats. His majesty was urge 70 leave the vessel when she struck the rocks but he refused to do so and waited until the Asia was ready to take him and the imperial family on board -
 The accident, to the Standart re- calls a number of untoward events by which Emporer Nicholas has at various times been placed in danger.
 Though it has been suggested that the accident to the Standart was due to members of her crew, who pur- posely ran her on the rocks, 1t Is as- serted in naval circles, here that the disaster was~d due to the narrowness of the channel between the islands of the Finnish archipelago near Hango.
