GENERAL UPRISING LIKELY
Declares That France Is Pursuing the
Wrong Course and Must Act With
More Delberaton In Order to Allay
Present Excitement.

Berlin, Aug. 26.-The Frankfurter
Zeitung publishes dispatch from
Tangier giving the substance OF an in
terview which its correspondent there
had with Mohammed Sidi Ell Mokhri,
head of the Moroccan delegation to
the Algeciras convention, and who, it
has been reported, may succeed Mo-
hamlned Ell Torres as representative
of the sultan at Tangier. He Is quoted
as saying that the present ferment in
the interior of Morocco is due to
Frances impatient, hasty course at
the Moors that their country would be
subjugated Mohammed added that IL
France now acts with greater delib-
Grafton the existing excitement may
be allayed Otherwise he fears gen.
eral uprising. The movement hitherto
has not been anti-Christian, but anti
French. Frances present course, Mo-
hammed claimed, is contrary to the
terms Of the Algeciras convention and
moreover is blunder. He expressed
the hope that the other powers would
insist on France keeping within the
terms Of the Algeciras convention and
stated that the events at Casa Blanca
had endangered peace in Morocco,
whereas that country expected peace
and civilization from Europe.

CORTELY0U TO THE RESCUE
VIII Deposit Government Money to
Relieve Stringency.

New York, Aug. 26.-Secretary OF
the Treasury Cortelyou has announced
a new plan Of depositing government
funds in New York, Boston and otlier
cities to afford relief to the money
market in the approaching crop NOV
ing period.
Beginning Immediately the secretary
will place each week, at such points In
the country as he shall designate, gov
,ernment funds to such an amount as
The deems sufficient to prevent an
acute monetary stringency and possi-
BILE panic.
The plan of the secretary is new to
the financial world, and one which he
believes will prove more efiicacious
than the old method of waiting Until
the country was severely shaken finan-
cially and then coming to the rescue
at the last moment by placing large
deposit of government funds in New
York banks.
The present financial situation has
occupied Secretary CortelWu's atten-
tion for some time, and he is doing
what he can under the law to bring
monetary relief. Notwithstanding
heavy demand for the $30,000,OO0 Pan
anna bonds which are still unissued,
the secretary declines to place them
o nsale at this time, as the govern
ment does not need the money. and
their purchase by the banks and pub
lie would tie up additional millions at
a time when the money Is most needed
elsewhere.

IS WISE AND TIMELY
Comptroller Ridgely Approves Sec
retary CortelyOu's Plan.
RELIEVE MONEY STRiNGENCY
Head Of Treasury Department Pro-
poses to Deposit Cash Where Most
Needed in Order to AIIay Apprehen-
sion in Business World.

Washington. Aug. 26.-William B.
Ridge!y, comptroller Of the currency,
discussed. in detail the plan which
Secretary Cortelyou has formulated to
relieve POSSIBLE money stringency this
fall through the distribution of funds
among national banks. He gives sew
eral reasons for the regarding of the
plan as wise and timely" and says
he can see no other reason why the
demand for liquidation should become
SO general as to produce anything like
a panic or commercial crisis. In fact,
he takes a more optimistic view Of the
situation, maintaining that the re-
sources of the country never at any
time were SO readily available for
progress and development as they are
at present. Comptroller Ridgelys
statement follows:
THE announcement by Secretary
Cortelyou of his plan for relieving the
strain ON the money market by the
deposit OF government funds Is very
wise and timely and should go very
far towards allaying apprehension and
restoring business to its normal con-
dition. Ii is well known by every one
at all conyersant with the money mar
ket that the present stringency ap-
plies far more. acutely to time loans
than to call loans Time money Is
very tight, while call money is COM
paratiyely easy For this reason the
pressure is bearing most heavily on
commercial and manufacturing inter-
ests.
Relief Where Most Needed.
THE secretary's plan of making de-
posits when and where needed will
enable him to apply his relief wher-
ever it will do the most good to COM
mercial and manufacturing business,
with less reference to the speculative
situation. | believe it Is better to
make this announcement now and Of
fer the relief in this way than to wait
until the stock market is In more or
less OF panic and rates for call loans
are extremely high.
"One of the great disturbing factors
In our annual crop moving stringency
has always been the uncertainty as to
when and how the secretary of the
treasury would take action. 1t is some
times charged that call rates have
been manipulated up to fictitious
heights to effect this action.
II am glad that Mr.. Cortelyou has
anticipated this and by making this
announcement now removes as much
OF the uncertainty as possible.
while the present situation Is one
requiring care and cool headed, delib-
crate action, especially on the part OF
the bankers, there is no reason at all
why the demand for liquidation should
SO spread as to produce anything like
a panic or commercial crisis. The
banking condition Is unusually
sound, more on account OF the read
iustment Of stock market values"

peculiar situation presents itself i'll
Kent county, Delaware, where hotels in
Dover and Smyrna were seized by the
Sheriff on executions issued at the in
stance of creditors
If the law pursues its regular course
and the executions proceed to sale. it
will of course be not until after the for
NAL publication in the county of the Gov
ernor's proclamation announcing the re.
suit of the vote, after which prohibition
will go Into effect.
Immediately prohibition goes into effect
the contention arises how can the Sheriff
proceed with the public sale of the stocks
of liquor, &c, of the hotels seized on ex-
ecutions, if no other way out of the legal
complication is devised.
Methods of settlement in the case have
been suggested but the whiskey interests
of course are hoping that test case be
made in order to give them an excuse to
continue their dirty business.

AS has been the case in almost every
district where the question of license or
no-license has been voted on and license
defeated, the whiskey interests of Kent

pairing to contest the law, and will no

their refarious business in the counties

Their contention is that the bill passed
by the Legislature calling for special
election was arranged for four districts
whereas The law requires separate bill
for each district.
They also contend that although the
Legislature passed bill calling for the
election, that it first required specia
vote of majority of that body asking
for such bill to be passed.
Their third ground for action will be
the fact that the ballots called for INC

word ''license" does not specify wha
license one should vote for. The anti
saloon forces appear to have no concern

The Wilmington Every Evening. that
staunch champion of the wiskey interests,
is in a pout like whipped school boy,
since the announcement has been made
on behalf of the Anti License State Com
mittee, that the campaign for prohibition
would be continued, in the hope of hav-
ing the question resubmitted to the voters
of Wilmington and rural New Castle
county, where licease carried at the
election Nov. S. The temperance people,
it is stated, will first make fight to have
a State Prohibitory law enacted by the
Legislature Of 1909, or failing in that, will
endeavor to have the Legislature direct a
re-submission of the question to the voters
of the two license districts at another
election
The Every Evening is greatly perturbed
lest this latest move of the temperance
people prove successful as there are thirty
members of the Legislature FROM the pro-
hibition districts of Kent and Sussex.
/, while there are but twenty-five members
from the license districts of Wilmington
and rural New Castle county, and gives
expression to the following wall
"Kent and Sussex counties have what
they voted for, and it wouldtbe as much
an Injustice on their part to impose legal
prohibition on the rest of the State, simp-
ly by virtue of their superior represen-
tation in the General Assembly, as ii
49, e. Me- tlo
county, in the event that they possessed a
representative power commensurate with
the extent of their voting population, to
unite and impose license upon Kent and
Sussex counties"
Does anybody suppose for minute that
the whiskey interests of the State OF Del
aware will give up the fight in the prohi-
bition districts, or that they would not
'unite and impose license upon Kent and
Sussex county" regardless Of any sense
of injustice, . if they thought there was
the least probability of success. The
whole history of the whiskey traffic has
been to win by fair means or foul. it
mattered not, so they won. This has
been the case in Cecil where repeated at
tempts have been made to defeat by
stealth in the Legislature the prohibitory
law, and the same means have been EN-
ployed in every State and county where
prohibition is in force.
Just how beautifully this injustice
plea fits the Delaware whiskey crowd is
shown by the fact that already move ha:
been made by this interest to contest the
probibitory law voted on last week, which
carried in Kent and Sussex counties.
