ern have had Burlington for about six
years and during this time Burlington

CLEMENCEAU ISSUES NOTE
Does Not Mention Intention of Rein
forcing General Drude.

Paris, Sept 6.-After comforting
with Marine Minister Thomson and
Foreign Minister Pichon Premier
C1emenceau issued a note which did
not mention the fact that the govern
ment had any intention of sending
further reinforcements to General
Drude. NJ Clemenceau said:
"No decision has been arrived at
with reference to the rifles and am
munition stored at Mazagan, but we
have reasons to believe that neither
Abdel ell AZiZ nor Mulai Hafg intend
to make war against France. -
"Advices received here from Tan
gier say that the natives remain calm
The exodus from that port, however,
continues.
THE balloons dispatched to Casa
Blanca for use of the French troops
will soon arrive there.
THE efforts made by some Spanish
merchants to organize a police force
at Casa Blanca have already been
fruitful, as many Moors have been
recruited who are willing to serve in
a police force under European officers
Other ports will receive attention
later"

ALTON WILL NOT BE TRIED
President Will Pardon Railroad if
Indicted.

Washington, Sept. 6-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt will issue a pardon to
the Chicago and Alton railroad If
Judge Lands persists in his deter
mlnation to bring that company to
account for it's share in the Standard
Oil rebating case is now practically
certain.
This information comes direct from
a government official who is in posi-.
ton to know. Many precedents are
found for such action. The admins
tration entered into fair and square
deal with the Alton officials to give
them and their road immunity in case
they would turn states evidence
against the Standard Oil. The rail
road officials did SO, SO the department
Of justice holds, and the administra-
ton proposes to stand by it's agree
ment
Judge Landis' apparent determine
ton to ignore the Immunity plea has
enraged the officials at the depart
ment of justice and they have fully
decided that the government shall
take no part in the investigation be-
fore the grand jury if Judge Lands
orders one.

CASE AGAIN DELAYED
Further. POstpOnement of Stand

Defendant Desires Time to Prepare
Statements Wanted by the Govern
ment and Thus Avoid Bringing Its
Books Into Court
New York, Sept 6.-Another post
ponement of the taking of testimony
against the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey and affiliated concerns
has been ordered by former Judge
Franklin Ferriss of ST. Louis, who is
acting as examiner for the federal
court. The hearing is now scheduled
for Sept. II and it is said there will
be no delay beyond that date in the
proceedings in this jurisdiction. The
adjournment was requested by the
attorneys for the defendant companies
and joined In by the special counsel
representing the government. 1t was
granted to give the Standard OIL com.
pany time to prepare statements from
its books and records which are de-
sired by those in charge of the case
for the government. These state
ments, it was claimed, would do away
with the necessity of bringing all of
the books of the various companies to
the federal building and would ulti-
mately expedite the hearing. The
testimony to be taken in New York
will be largely Of documentary char
acter and will be reported back to the
United States circuit court in St.
Louis, where the governments suit tc
dissolve the so-called "oil trust" was
brought. .a...
Special Attorney Frank B. Kellogg,
at the brief session before Examiner
Ferriss, said that's the government
does not waive the production Of the
books and documents in question If
they are deemed necessary and that

from the companies books was re-
served

VIEWS WITH D|STRUST
Germany Suspicious Of Develop
nlentS in Morocco.
ALLIES MUST OBEY TREATY

| Al9eclfaS convention Does mot Con-
template the Suppression of Civil
War and the kaiser's Government
Will Oppose Extensive Operations.
Berlin, Sept. 6.-The development
of events at Casa Blanca appears to
be regarded with some distrust by the
! German government. Foreign Secre-
tary Tschirsky, in conversation with
| representatives of the powers who
have visited the foreign Office on vari-
GUS matters of business and who have
| taken the opportunity to ascertain the
views of the foreign secretary on the
Moroccan situation, has stated that
| Germany accepted fully the French
assurances that the operations of the
allied forces in Morocco would be
within the terms of the Algeciras con-
vention Then Herr Tschirsky has
casually added, in substance, that Of
course the Algeciras convention did
not contemplate France and Spain
undertaking to suppress civil war
in Morocco This reservation dis
closes the German Interpretation of
the Algeciras convention and shows
that any extensive military operations
by the allies must either arouse con-
troversy Or be preceded by the con-
sent of the interested powers. The
German attitude at present is simply
to await developments. The British
see what Germany will do and the lat
ter power, the correspondent Of the
Associated Press is informed, is de-
termined to prevent the "Egyptianiza-
ton of Morocco"
Herr Tschirsky during the day re-
ceiyed three leading German import.
ers and exporters of Casa Blanca,
Herren Ficke, Mannesmann and Opitz,
who went to the foreign Office to file
with the government claims for com
pensation for the needless destruc
ton by the French, as they affirm, Of
German property at Casa Blanca. The
merchants left with Herr Tschirsky
written account of the bombardment
Of Casa Blanca, including an express
sion of their opinion that the action
Of the French was hasty, incautious
and provocative. Herr Tschirsky dis
missed the three German merchants
with a promise that he would con.
slider and investigate their claims.

ing value Of emmer, which that sta
ton continues to call speltz, giving the
cost of production of beef and pork
when the ration consisted largely Of
this grain. A mixture Of emmer and
corn gave better results than emmer
alone. When fed alone ''it requires
from one to two pounds more to pro
duce pound of flesh than with the
other grains" Emmer is an excellent
material to mix with corn because Of
the Improvement Of the physical condi-
ton Of the food, particularly corn
which makes the mixture just about
the right consistency for good diges-
ton

Charcoal Good For Farm Stock.

Charcoal is often recommended for

understood that it is good feed for
any kind of stock fed with corn or
other heating material. There is an
effect from charcoal which helps to
correct acidity Of the stomach, and 1t
rapidly eabsorbs bases. It is excellent
for mixing with the food of animals
that are being fattened, experiments
showing that the increase Is greater
when a proportion of charcoal is al
