After Allies Stay Hundreds.
Paris.-French and Spanish troops
are in possession of Casablanca, on
the Moroccan coast, after a terrific
bo~mbardment and hand-to-hand fight
ing in the streets. The Moors per-
| cipitated the conflict by attacking a
landing party on the way to the
French consulate. The ensign in
command was shot through both
hands, but he gave the order to
charge. With fixed bayonets the ma
rines cut their way through a col
umn of native troops, leaving $50
dead and wounded in their wake.
The marines reached the consulate,
and the news of the fighting was
signaled to the French cruisers,
which Immediately opened fire with
all their guns. More than 1000 shells
were fired. The native quarter of
the city was wiped out and several
hundred rebels were slain. The last
dispatch received by the French Gov
eminent is to the effect that the
Pasha as Casablanca has formally
surrendered the town to the allies.

/ wounded. An attempt was made by
the rebels to work several batteries
against the cruisers, but the guns
were quickly put out of commission.
The fire of the cruisers was accurate
and terribly destructive. The bonn
bardment lasted more than two
hours, and fighting in the wrecked
streets continued internationally I'M
til darkness fell. The Arabs fought
with fanatical courage. Many Of
them detached themselves from col
i umns of horsemen and rode down
! to the waters edge, firing their rifles
It the warships. Shells were rained
among them, and the shore at n
point was thickly strewn with dead
horses and the bodies of their riders.
The bombardment was immediate
ly productive of results. Mulai
Awning, the commander of the
Moorish troops, requested pardon of
the French admiral, who replied that
he was unprepared to grant it, and
peremptorily ordered him to surren-
der to the French consul, which he
did.
The occupation of CasaDlanca is a
direct outcome of the native uprising,
which resulted in the killing of eight
Europeans at CaSablanca. Both
France and Spain are hurrying other
warships, with troops and marines,
to various points on the Moroccan
coast for the protection of foreign
ers. Under the terms of the Alge-
ciras Convention these two powers
are charged with the policing of the
seaports of Morocco, and their action
at Casablanca has brought no protest
from any power. The States of Eu-
rope have expressed their willingness
that France and Spain restore order
in Morocco. No other countries are
involved. &
France and Spain have agreed on
the terms of a Franco-Spanish note,
informing the powers ~signatory OF
the Algeciras Convention, including
the United States, of their intention
to keep within the terms of the con
vention in dealing with the situation
in Morocco.

York Central and the Pennsylvania
railroads, OF giving and receiving spe-
cial and illegal concessions on shin.
ments of oil from clean, n. Y, r.
points in Vermont.
The report includes the presenta.
ton of two indictments against the
Standard Oil Company, two against
the Vacuum Oil Company, two against
the New York Central and PennsyI-
Vania roads, Jointly, and two against
each of these railroads separately. a
total of ten indictments. Of the two
indictments against each corporation
one contains 1873 counts and the other
forty counts.
The report given is only a partial
one, the jury ~adjourning until Sen
TENDER 5, when it will continue its
work.
The indictments in substance
charge that while the legal rate from
clean to Norwood was twenty-siy
and a half cents a hundred weight on
22S cars of oil, the oil companies
paid only 11.8 cents, giving them
the benefit of about fifteen cents a
hundred weight over other concerns,
The report ~exonerated the Rutland
Railroad and the Vermont Central
from participating in the alleged lille
gal practice, the evidence showing
they received the legal rate for their
part in carrying the shipments.
The law provides a penalty Of S2O,-
900 for each count in case of convic-
ton. A conviction, on each count
would render the Standard and Vac
uum Oil companies and the New York
Central and Pennsylvania railroads
liable to fines of $4,560,0O0 each, or
a total Of $18,240,O00. The investi-
cations were conducted by S. Wal

Not taking into account the Roch-
ester indictments the net result On
conviction in respect to the counts
would be on maximum fines $12,120,-
600 for the Standard and Vacuum
and $12,120,0O0 for the New York

Cleveland, Ohio.-That John D.
Rockefeller will live to more than
n~inety-four is the prediction of DR..
H. F. Biggar, his family physician.
DIR. Biggar watched Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter play golf vel the Forest Hill
links, and at the finish declared that
the Standard Oil magnate was likely
to live more than a quarter of q cen
fury longer.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who looked partic-
ularly we'll, said he had never felt
better in his life and that he could
eat anything.
William Rockefeller, John D. Rock
efeller's father, is still living and is
ninety-four. DIR. Biggar said he sees
no reason why the master Of Forest
Hill should not live longer than his
father.
HE is the best-trained athlete In
the sixty-year-old class in the world
to-day, and he's sixty-eight, at that
he said. He'll live longer than his
father, I'm sure. Did you see his
strokes on the links this morning
Did they look feeble? I tell you, Mr..
Rockefeller has been born twice ply
sically, and he is only fourteen years
old now. He is growing up again,
and growing up scientifically, adding
to his muscle, to his lungs, to his
heart power with every breath OF
fresh air he takes on Forest Hill
and with every drive he makes at the
Golf Club"
And it cost Mr.. Rockefeller So,
600 $1,000 for this second life. Those
are his own words. 1t happened
in this wise, according to Doctor
Biggar:
Mr.. Rockefeller came to Cleve
land in 1898, in the middle Of the
panic period, completely broken in
health and spirit. He could eat moth

reach S25O,000, it is announced. The
embezzlements are all from local i'm

made the money was pocketed by
some n in the Offices, the charge
against the property was left on the
books and when the property was adj
vertised for sale the property upon

edited out of the advertisement.
This practice was followed for sew

ADAMLEsS EDEN OF CHICAGO
Continuation of Mems Rapid Pace
Will Leave Only Women.
Male Residents Dying at Rate of Five
For Every Two Females, Says
Health Report.

Chicago.-The strenuous life is
killing the men of Chicago at a ire
mendous rate, while the women of
the city are increasing their Iongev-
ity by the simple life. In the weekly
official health bulletin just issued
Health Commissioner Evans declares
that a few centuries will see Chicago
an Adamless Eden.
DR.. Evans draws his conclusions
from the death rate in Chicago for
twenty years, and particularly in the
last sever months, when Ave mem
bers OF the stronger sex died for ev-
cry two of the fairer.
DR.. Evans makes the startling
statement that during the seven
months of 1907 in Chicago about 49,
600 men succumbed, as compared to
5000 women.
He says that in the last year the
ratio of difference, in the death rate
between men and women has been
thirty against less than ten per cent
twenty years ago. 3 g. ft" =
The cause for this is attributed by
the physician to the strenuous life.
Contributory causes are the quick
lunch, constant exposure and care
IessResss refuS ss-f s
"The men," he says, "are living at
a rate that is thirty per cent. faster
than that of the women. They work
harder. They take less care of them
selves than of their wives and daugh-
tiers. They court danger. They dis
sipate more. They exhibit a careless
ness bagotten Of familiarity with dan
ger"
The remedy, according to an emil
nent physician, lies in the return t.
the simple life of our fathers.

BARNEY THREW
GAME AWAY

The San Francisco Chronicle of Au-
gust 26 tells the following story of a
game in which Barney Joy took part:
When the gong sounded for the after
lunch affair to proceed there was a
burst of cheers and Barney Joy took
his place on the hill, while Jimmie
Smith went to the bat. He was an
easy out and so were the next twelve
men; they went out one, two, three,
Dashwood being the first man to reach
first in five innings, and he did so by
hitting one of the Kanaka's shoots to
right center that should have been
caught had Spencer put on little more
steam. In the sixth inning Smith made
the second bingle off Joy, but it was
in the eighth that Barney undid his
magnificent work and went all to pieces
and tossed the game into the Golfers
of the Commuters. Haley was the first
man to face him and he reached first
on single. Bliss, batting for Bigbee,
was safe on an error by Wheeler,
Devereaux walloped one through the
box that gave him a mark in the hit
column, still Barney wasn't in danger.
Then came his undoing, for he loosened
a board in the press box with wild
heave, hit man in the ribs and
handed out a pass to old Rip, and the
bell sounded three times for the Oaks.
San Francisco looked like winners up
to then, for they had chaFed one. over
in the second on a base on balls, and
two singles and thew did likewise in
the third, but that was all they got.

SINCLAIR TREATED
WITH PLAGUE SERUM

DR.. A. n. Sinclair says that the re-
lease of his father, one of the steer
age passengers on the Sierra, from
quarantine, while the other passengers
were not, was wholly within the Fed
eral quarantine regulations. Before
being released, his father was treated
with ten cubic centimeters of Prophy-
Tactic plague serum, and that under the
regulations this is accepted as a sub
stitute for the seven-day quarantine.
The other steerage passengers could
have been released in the same way
had they consented to the serum treat
ment and paid for it-had there been
enough serum in the Territory for the
purpose, which there was not For
this reason they were not told of it.
So far as is known, there were only
nine tubes of this serum in the Terri
tory at this time. All of it belonged
to the Board of Health and was under
the control of DR.. Sinclair as a ply
sician of the Board of Health. -Four
tubes are required for the treatment
of each patient having the disease,
though only one is required as a pre-
ventive. Using one of the nine, left
eight for use for plague patients,
should occasion require.
