Casa Blanca, Morocco, Aug. 19.--
Moorish tribesmen, aided by soldiers IN
the uniform of the Moorish army, yes
terday were put to rout by the Frencl
soldiers after a four hours battle,
which covered a front of sixteen miles
The Moors precipitated the engag 4
ment when a large body of them al
vanced to within 500 yards OF the
French line just at sunrise. General
Drude, protecting his men with gun
fire, sent a detachment of fifty Alge:-
ian Spahis (Arab horsemen in the
French service).
Lure Soldiers into Ambush.
The Moors made no move while this
handful of men approached them.
when close enough to exchange word,
however, the Spahis realized they had
been ambushed. and the carnage be-
gan. The tribesmen charged the loyal
band from all quarters. The head Of
one Spahi was cut off at one sweep
of 4 big Moorish sword. The French
officer in command of the Spahis and
many of his men were wounded. but
the officer rallied his force and slowly
retired, fighting. until a large body Oi
Spahis from town suCcOrded their
cor AIDES.
TribeSmen Put to Flight.
The French artillery maintained a1
inccssant fire on the tribesmen and
drove them back. The cruiser Gloi 20
lent its aid and soon the beach w2s
cleared of the MOOrs. At II O'Clock in
the forenoon the tribesmen fed in i;
directions.
The Spahis and sharpshOoters each
lost one man killed and had several
wounded. including Captain Coud OF
the Spahis. About a dozen horses We. Q
killed. The tribesmen's losses are D.
lieved to have been heavy.
Moroccan Troops Among Them.
At General Drude's headquarters
the attack was regarded as a recon
noissance. as the main body of the
hostile tribesmen remained cor
cealed behind a ridge. From the te!

Washington, June .. - The
White House, the department Of
justice, the interstate commerce
commission as a whole, individ-
ual members taking testimony,
and the commissions special at
torney's, Kellogg and Servance
have had hand in the prep.
aration of the case against e.

The condition of the case has
not much advanced since last
Monday when the interstate
commerce commission in ses-
sion, compiled all the tes'
timony taken in New York, Los
Angeles and elsewhere and sum-
married. it for the department Of
Justice. Previous TO this, how
ever, the president had the SYM
opsis Of Kellogg and Servance,
which he took on his vacation
with him to Pine Knot. On his
return it was confidentially re-
ported that he would himself send
the summary with his views to
Attoraeo General Bonaparte.
The action to be taken, probably
will follow the usual channel.

The reason we put our request il

vast volume Of business to look after.

your railroad with due consideration.

have free speech and a free press. We
are making no threats; we are de-
manding what we are entitled to-

Now for the main plea as set up
orally by their authorized representa-
tive: A supplementary rule-an ex-
ception to all the rules, as follows:
"Ihat where a train is in danger, or
a conductor is in doubt, he is en-
powered or authorized to set aside
orders from his superiors-use his
better judgment and stay on the safe
side" Probably not quoted vel ba-
tim, but think true as to meaning.
Holy smoke! How many railroad
men are discharged for setting aside
a rule or part of a rule? Such
plea In answer to the above charge
what does the rule mean? Is il
a dodging point? A panacea used or
a cramped conscience, relieving the
responsibility of officials, putting it
on the shoulders of-as general
rule-an overworked conductor. Sch
martyrs to a noble cause! such sacri-
fees! Releasing their authority at the
last moment in case of danger. This
rule should be printed as part of our
railroad tickets. so we could see

To the Editor Of the Herald:

To the Editor Of the Herald:
Sir:-Will you kindly allow us
space in your valuable paper to pre-
sent to the public, and especially the
travelling public, the following appeal
of a long suffering public?
Charleston, Ga, May 9, 1907.
Mr.. 7. X. Scott,
General Manager Georgia Railroad,
Augusta, Ga.
Dear Strive, as patrons Of the
Georgia Railroad, and being pass n
gers at the time the following Incl
dent occurred, demand the removal
of your yardmaster in Atlanta on
the grounds of gross incompetency.
The act we have reference to being
as follows: On May the 7th the ac-
commOdation train leaving Atlanta at
> p. m. in moving through the yard
was followed by switch engine and
a string of cars (switch engine and
cars were backing in); opposite
Oakland cemetery the accommodation
met freight train heading in. Of
course the accommodation stopp ID.
In a few minutes, and while the
switch engine in the rear of the ac-
commodation was still backing, your
yardmaster came up and asked the
conductor In charge of the accommo-
dation train if he had broke down
Conductor answered "No." Yard
master then ordered him to back his
train up and take siding Conductor
declined very positively, saying that
he would not back his train up as
long as the switch engine and train
IN the rear were backing down on hi,
train. Yardmaster still insisted that
he back up and take siding, regard
less Of the fact that he would endan-
ger the lives Of his passengers. We
here take the opportunity to commend
the conductors act in declining to
endanger the lives Of his passengers.
and we consider him one Of the safest
passenger conductors in Georgia. Tie

whitewash fails to stick, and they
were forced to add some glue, why
not admit it? Then why not put their

I lave never seen des- cribed the woodman's method of using blanket, however Lie flat on your back. Spread the blanket over you. Now raise your legs rigid from the hips, the blanket, of course, draping over them In two swift motions tuck first one edge under your legs from right to left, then the second edge un- der from left to right, and over the first edge.
