Leaders.

Paris, Oct. S.-Intense dissatisfaction.
bordering on revolt. exists among the
European residents of Casablanca ow-
ing to the arrogant behavior of the
Spanish commander.
This officer is adding to the griev-
ance which France holds against him
on account of his failure to cooperate
with General Drude in ousting the
Arabs by showing a lack Of respect
amounting almost to insult toward the
French leader, who is his superior in
rank and military standing. This lack
of courtesy is noticed by the troops
under General Drude.
Assuming the powers OF a dictator
the Spaniard recently issued an order
that no European shall leave the city
without a written permit signed by
himself He followed this affront by
breaking into the Union club at the
head of a body of men, installing him
self in the building and establishing
his headquarters there.
The French war minister is seriously
considering the advisability of asking
the government at Madrid to recall its
military chief at Morocco, intimatine
that difficulties may arise between the
two nations otherwise

RIDING TEST IS ENDED
Washington Society Women
Follow in Automobiles as
Officers Go Over Course.

Washington. d. c., Oct. S.-Headed by
General Duvau. danked and followed
ty the beauty fashion OF Washington in
automobiles. and with an ambulance in
the rear, thirty stam officers today set
out on the fifteen mile practice ride
planned by President Roosevelt.
On all sides. as far as the eye could
reach. embattled photographers sought
to pierce the lines and were held back
by the United States army. At the
head of the column foxy photographers
who had saved energy by refraining
from battle with the army. were in
readiness to lead the procession in auto
mobile, and did so.
Inst Hope is Disappointed.
At / O'Clock the officers had left the
War Department most OF them on
horseback, to show that they were will
ing to throw in an extra few miles.
When they arrived at Fort Myer their
gallant commander was not there. At
first there was a CLEAN of hope If
Duvall had been thrown off his horse
the ride might yet be postponed. sud
denly an automobile chugged into view
with Duvall mounted securely on the
back seat.
At ten seconds OF ? o'clock General
Duvau directed the officers to form in
column two abreast. and at 2 the
bugIer sounded the signal to start. All
were off quickly. with the general in
the van.
As soon as the officers started the
women gave the signal to their chauf-
feurs, the newspaper men dug their
heels into the spare ribs of their livery
mounts, and the photographers chug-
chugged into the lead with kodaks I'M
limbered and swapping.
Officers Jeer Ambulance.
/ After a ride of fifteen minutes at a
walk, seven and one-half minutes at g
trot, and five minutes at a gallop the
signal was given to stop for a siS
minute rest. Here the electric am
bulance came numbering up. The Off
GERS, all of whom were fresh as daisie:
greeted it with boots and jeers.

JOHN D. GETS HIS 81
Earned the Money For One
Days Work on the
Grand Jury.

New York. Oct. s-John D. Rocke-
Teller. jr.. crown prince OF Standards
oildom and heir apparent to his faith
er's millions, went to the criminal
court today to earn 81 from the city
and county OF New York. When he
went away he took the cash with him.
Mr. Rockefeller's father is at least a
near Millionaire Just how much
positively. 1t is said. however. that
he has probably 100000 in his own
name. With an investment at the rate
of per cent this would yield an In
come of 100000 year. or a little
more than 1882 a day.
In order to earn the SO from the
taxpayers of New York county Mr..
Rockefeller had TO listen. for half a
day, to witnesses who told how other
persons against whom they gave tes-
timony had committed nearly every
crime on the calendar from murder
down to larceny.
The 81 was earned by Mr.. Rookie
Teller as a member of the afternoon
grand jury. which had it's first official
session today.
John ID. jr., was promptly on time.
His father long ago taught him that
punctuality is a basic rule of busi-
ness. He was there when Edward J..
Cuddihy the foreman of the grand
jury, called the first session to order.
When Judge Grain announced adj
journment Mr.. Rockefeller's exit from
the courtroom was as prompt as his
entrance.

~But remember the cruel way in which
my father was killed, Paul. It's just
what an Indian would do, and then the
sugar-oh. I'm quite sure this hawker
committed the crime"
Beecot shook his head and strove to
dissuade her from entertaining this
idea. But Sylvia, usually so amenable
to reason, refused to discard her theory,
and indeed Paul himself thought that
the incident of the sugar was queer.
He determined to tell Hurd about the
matter, and then the hawker might be
found and made to explain why he

CRITICIzES PRESIDENT
Lord Rothschild Declares
Policy Hurts Market
Capital Not Interested.

London, Oct. 9.-The Daily News to-
day publishes an interview with Lord
Rothschild on the depression of stocks
which the financier attributes the de-
cline not to the booming of trade, but
owing to the fact that governments
all over the world are hitting" at
capital.
Cites British Legislation.
Among other things, Lord Roths-
child instances the prospective British
legislation regarding old age pensions,
land purchases. etc. Continuing, he
says:
"Of course President Roosevelt's
speeches against the conduct of Ameri-
can railroads are disturbing the mar
ket greatly. We must all admit that
the manipulation of railrod stock in
the United States has not always been
quite what it should, but this does
not detract from the serious character
of the presidents campaign.
1T is diffcult-nay, it is almost i'm
possible-as things stand today, for us
to furnish from this country fresh
capital for railroad development across
the water"
Thinks Russia Needs Money.
Lord Rothschild declined to fore
cast the future course of the market
but he said he thought it possible that
Russia before long would come to the
market for another ten or twelve mil
lion pounds
