REFUSES to Meet Small
MAY SUE WESTERN UNION FOR
REFUSING TO SEND MESSAGES

Special to The Herald.
OAKLAND, Aug H.-Word was re-
ceived by Deputy President Copps of the
Telegraphers' union yesterday that the
Western Union had violated the law
openly in the case of E. Clemens Horst
company. hop growers at 2l5 Pine street,
San Francisco. whose business was re-
fused by the Western Union because the
firm refused to write the words sent sub
ject to delay on its kilograms.
The firm declares it will force the
company to carry its messages without
such phrase being affixed, because the
Western Union company is a common
carrier. and as such is required to handle
all legitimate business given it.
Deputy President Copps holds the
opinion that the telegraph company is
liable for heavy suit for damages If
it fails to handle the business of the
firm and incidentally responsible to the
government for a violation of federal
statute.
Deputy President Copps said further
"It is folly to minimize the seriousness
of the telegraph strike. Whatever the
officials of the telegraph companies may
say, the plain fact is that the paralysis
of their business is practically complete.
Such misleading statements as are being
published in certain papers may please
the telegraph companies and deceive the
public, but they do not deceive us, as
they are absolutely false The Associated
Press service is not back to a normal
basis as one may see by an inspection
of the news columns of any paper de-
pending entirely on the service of this
association.
"In the opinion of the business men of
the state, blame attaches to the telegraph
companies. Fruit growers are suffering
enormous losses because of the obdurate-
ness of the telegraph monopoly. and say
they are entitled to some consideration. as
telegraph tolls figure a large portion of
the tax on their products.

WARRLNG TRLBESMEN
ABOUT CASA BLANCA
SITUATION OF TOWN CONSIDERED
SERIOUS
French Commander Says He Must
Have More Troops-Garrison
Worn Out by Long
Vigil
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CASA BLANCA, Aug. 21-The ar
rival today before this town of new
columns of warning tribesmen who
have Joined the army of the fanatics
besieging Casa Blanca, has rendered
more serious the problem undertaken
by France and Spain to restore order"
The new arrivals constitute an i'm
posing opposition to the French force
now wearied with their vigil. The
soldiers are convinced that their pres
ent defensive strength is inadequate.
General Drude has had a conference
with Vice Admiral Philibert, who tele-
graphed to Paris the belief of the gem
eral that reinforcements are absolutely
necessary for the protection of the
town. Whenever the men on board the
cruiser Glory sight groups of Arabs
they open on them with shell fire. and
during all last night there was con-
slant rattle of rifle fire from the
French sharpshooters directed against
Arabs who were trying to steal in to-
ward the town under cover of darkness.
PARIS, Aug. 21.-The Moroccan
situation is regarded as distinctly more
serious. The proclamation of the new
sultan has caused the interior to fer
ment and the appearance If new
Moorish army at Casa Blanca causes
apprehension that the country Will
soon be ablaze with fanatieism. Over
1000 infantry and cavalry have been
mobilized at Oran and are ready to en-
bark at once for Morocco. The news
papers urge a military expedition to Fez
but the government unwilling thus to
go beyond the limits of the Algeciras
convention. Even officials, however,
admit that eventualities might compel
France in the name of the powers to
chastise Morocco.
The government has sent instructions
to Oran, Algeria to dispatch 1000 men
to reinforce the present French force
at Casa Blanca. 1t is officially ex-
planned, however, that men to be sent
from Oran are merely to fill out the
regiments already at Casa Blanca.
ALGERIA, Aug. 21.--A battalion or
Algerian sharpshooters and half a
squadron of cavalary were embarked
today for Casa Blanca.
TANGIER, Aug. 21.-It is reported
that the sultan's troops have again
been defeated by the great force or
Knass tribes men, in whose territory SIR
Harry MacLean is held captive. SIX
hundred Moors were killed.

Cry When Arrested
and Jailed

Charged with burglary Walter Tran
sue, years of age, and Henry Netfour,
one year his senior, were arrested yes
terday afternoon by Patrolman Bonar.
These boys are said to have ransacked
the house occupied by Mrs. c. R. Tilley
and Mrs. Cora White, 336 Occidental
boulevard.
Valuables and trinkets worth several
hundred dollars were piled up by the
boys, who intended to take them away.
They were interrupted in their work by
the return of the occupants of the house,
who held the youthful robbers until the
police arrived.
Had Mrs White and Mrs. Tilley not
returned when they did it is probable
they would have had no home to return
to. as the boys had made arrangements
to burn down the house.
Shavings and papers saturated with
oil were piled in different rooms in the
house. and one of the boys had already
lighted a match with the intention of
setting 1t on fire.
tMrs. White and Mrs. Tilley entered the
house through a rear door, They soon
saw something was wrong. as the con-
tents of the bureau drawers were scat
tered about the different rooms.
Locks had been broken from trunks
and clothing had been thrown from
closets and scattered over the house.
When taken to the police station the
boys cried and said they had not intend
ed to do any wrong. When searched
they were found to have a number of
small articles and trinkets stolen from
the house secreted in their pockets and
about their clothing.
They were taken to the detention home
and their parents were notified of the
arrests.

PRIEST PUTS BAN ON
OLD WEDDING CUSTOM
Father Meyer Says Throwing of Rice
at Newly Married Couples
Is Relic Of Seml-clvi-
llzatlon

RACINE, Wis, Aug. H.-Festive we'd
ding guests must never again throw rice
at blushing brides and self-conscious
bridegrooms departing on their honey
moon. This is the order issued today by
the Rev. Theodore B. Meyer, pastor of
ST. Mary's Catholic church, the largest
and wealthiest parish in the Belle city.
The priests orders came as the dramatic
climax to a wedding this afternoon.
A merry crowd of guests was outside
awaiting the coming of the bride and
groom. When the newly welded ones
reached the topmist steps there was a
sudden shower of rice. The bride grasped
her skirts and ran into the waiting car
riage, the fustered bridegroom at her
heels. The shower of rice continued.
II forbid this" cried the priest, dra-
matically raising his hand as he ad-
vanced through the portals of the church.
Father Meyer says the custom of
throwing rice at weddings is descended
from a semi-civilized people.
