French Cabinet Holds Extraor-
binary Meeting to Discuss
Moroccan Situation.
NO COURSE DETERMINED ON.
Clemenccau Says Possible Solution
VIII be Sought and France VIII
Act With the Powers.

Paris, Aug. Am extraordinary
meeting of the cabinet to discuss the
Moroccan situation was held this after
noon. Foreign minister Pichon ex-
pressed himself IN favor of immediate
action by France to secure reparation
for the murders of Europeans at Casa
Blanca and to insure the safety of the
Europeans still there. Inasmuch MS
France and Spain were charged by the
Algeciras conference 10 act together in
the matter of policing Casa Blanca NJ.
Plchon advocated. as first step, pls-
posing to Spain the immediate landing
of French and Spanish troops at the
scene of the massacre.
The Fh@nch newspapers, excepting
the Socialist journals, are unanimous
in demanding that the government take
decisive steps to enforce respect for
France IN Morocco. Some newspapers
express the opinion that Germany WIZ
not now stand in the way and they
think the time is ripe to abandon NJ.
Delcasse's policy of pacific penetra-
ton" which they contend has served
only to arouse the hatred of the Moors
for the French, and march straight to
Fee. The Republique Franchise says
that unless the head of Maelanin
Pasha. the governor of Casa Blanca. is
obtained, genuine holy war is likely to
be precipitated. and this would endan-
ger Algeciras.
Vienna, Aug. 2.--M. Cemenceau. the
French premier. who Is taking the cure
at Carlsbad, has given out an interview
upon the Moroccan situation in which
he says France viii be guided by two
main considerations In dealing with the
situation arising from the Casa Blanca
murders. First, she will, If possible,
find peaeeable solution of the diff
Guilty; and, secondly, she win only take
action in agreement with the powers
which took part in the conference at

Cutting ARRAY on Franklin Ave-
nue. This Morning Results in
Serious Injury of Praxton. a.
BOTH PARTIES ARE COLORED.
Trouble Arose Through Jealousy
Assailant in jail Under
Felony Charge.

One of the most brutal. vicious and
murderous assaults ever committed in
Salt Lake City occurred this morning
on Franklin avenue when William
Brown attacked Ed Praxton with
razor and almost severed Praxton's left
arm and right leg. Both men are coll
ored.
At 1870 this afternoon Assistant City
Physician Paul and DIR. Steele, were
engaged in sewing up the frishtful
wounds. Praxton was so badly cut
it was necessary to administer chloro-
form before the operation could be
performed.
Brown is locked up In Jail with the
charge of assault with a deadly weapon
hanging over him. The probabilities
are that the injured man win lose the
use OF his left arm. The razor sunk
nearly to the bone and severed the
muscles of the arm, while the leg is
equally as badly injured.
CAUSED BY JEALOUSY.
Praxton declared this morning that
there was absolutely no provocation for
the assault but 1t was learned that
Brown was jealous because Praxton
ored girl with whom Brown is in love.
Praxton and the oolored girl were walk
ing up Franklin avenue this morning
when Brown suddenly rushed upon tho
couple armed with a razor and began
to slash at Praxton. The keen blade
sunk into Praxtons arm and when he
attempted TO escape he received two
horrible cuts In the right leg below the
knee. Brown lost no time in getting
away The avenue was In state OF
great excitement and the police were
called, Praxton was taken 10 the sta
ton where DR.. Paul dressed the wounds
temporarily and later, with the assis-
lance OF DR.. Steele, took about 30
stitches to close up the gaping wounds.
HID IN CELLAR.
Brown hid In cellar at Ga Franklin
avenue and for fully an hour five off,
GERS searched for him. Finally Detec-
tives Shannon and Raleigh located the
man. He was hiding In corner OF tho
cellar and had piece of carpet oven
him. He had concealed tho razor but
did not deny that ne had done tho
cutting. Brown la known as dope
fiend' and when locked up I'm Jail
begged for a box OF gum opium or "een
chloe taken from him by the officers.
Brown Is regarded as a bad man and
has boon In trouble before.
