WEE BIT OF PROFIT
 IN RAILROADING
VICE PRESIDENT SPENCER OF THE SOUTHERN ADMITS THAT THERE IS STILL A PROFIT IN THE BUSINESS.

Washington, August 4.--With some slight assistance in the form of guesses by Vice President H. E. Spencer of the Southern railway, Speaker Justice of the North Carolina legislature today com puted that it cost only S5i.37 to operate a passenger train of two coaches and baggage car on the North Carolina rail- road from Goldsboro to Greensboro. a dis tance of 134 miles. By the same method of deduction the speaker calculated that the revenues from this train would amount to $S9O, and that the difference would be the profit to the railroad He took the position that in thls manner the cost of operation and the revenues of the Southern railway system could be com puted to refute the testimony given yes- terday by MT. Spencer that it cost an average of s1.03 per train a mile to op- crate q passenger train in the state, and that the revenues from the train would average $1.25 per train mile, including mail and express This was the feature today of the hearing in the North Caro- lima rate case before Special Master Wal ter A. Montgomery, appointed by United States Circuit Judge Pritchard to take the evidence.
 Mir Justice began his inquiry by asN- ing the cost of labor supplies on the train, and all such expenses that could be approximated. but there were so many expenses involved on which the witness had no knowledge that the speaker in oorporated in the list number of guesses. At the conclusion. MT. Spencer charao- terized the deduction as "the widest speculation"
 When the cost of operation had been estimated Mr. Justice calculated that such a train would carry an average or 100 passengers, half of which would be frst-class and half second-class, and that these would pay an average of SS.@ under the old rate or a total of $3.90 for the trip n
 MT Justice asked the witness If he did not know that it had been shown that the Southern makes more than 200 per cent on it's passenger business. MT Spen- cer replied that the result was merely a numerical calculation on assumed hg- ures.'

GENERAL UPRISING
 FEARED IN MOROCCO

Berlin, August 24.-The Frankfurter Zeitung today published dispatch from Tangier, giving the substance of an inter view which its correspondent there had with Mohammed Sidi Fl Mokhri, head of the Moroccan delegation to the Augeciras convention and who, it has been reported, may succeed Mohammed Fl Torres as representative of the sultan at Tangier. He is quoted as saying that the present ferment In the interior of Morocco is due to Frances impatient, nasty course at Casa Blanca This caused fear among the Moors that their country would be subju- gated. Mohammed added that if France now acts with greater deliberation the ex- isting excitement may be allaye@ Other wise, he fears general uprising.
 The movement hitherto has not been anti Christian, but anti-French. Frances present course. Mohammed claimed, Is contrary to the terms of the Algeciras convention and moreover, Is @ blunder. He expressed the hope that the other powers would insist on France keeping within the terms of the Algeoiras con- vention and stated that the events at Casa Blanca had endangered peace in Morocco, whereas that cauntry expected peace and civilization from Europe
 German official circles deprecate the idea prevailing In certain foreign quarters
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-08-25

that the visit of the French ambassador Jules Cambon, to Chancellor Won Buelow at Norderny touay was occasioned by the latest developments in Morocco and that Von Buelow's communication to him means that Germany is disquieted over the Casa Blanca incidents and is about to change her attitude towards the French course in Morocco. The officials here say that on the contrary. the ambassadors s visit to the chancellor is due to the wish expressed in July by M. Cambon to see Prince Von Buelow, whose other engage ments prevented an earlier invitation.
 While the fighting at Casa Blanca has not caused the meeting of the two states men at Norderny, they will talk over the Moroccan situation. This does not mean, however, that Germany Is seeking any special arrangements with France. This Is impossible, in view of the terms of the Algeciras convention, which remains in- tact. Germany thus far sees no occasion to depart from her previous policy of yielding to France and Spain the right to establish order in Morocco.

LIKE ONE RISEN
 FROM THE CRAVE"

Lancaster, Pa., August 24.-Like one risen from the grave, Frank Montgom- cry, 25 years old, has returned to the home of his parents in this city after an absence of more than a year.
 Montgomery left Lancaster last Au- gust for Gapland, a town in western Maryland, to wed Miss Malvina Castle. At Hagerstown he procured a marriage license. but he strangely disappeared in that city.
 He states that while walking along the street he was felled by a blow on the head. When he recovered con sciousness he was in strange coun- try in the custody of four men, who threatened him with death if he at tempted to escape.
 They finally entered Mexico, and one night last June while two of the cap tors were absent and the others were asleep, Montgomery escaped near the town of Alamo.
