The Murder of Ella schrader.

find nothing tangible agains! Charles

during the search through northern
Indiana for the murderer of Ella Schrs-

Situation I'm Morocco.

Tangier, Aug. 29.-The situation
throughout Morocco is regarded as grow
ing distinctly worse every day. Mouley
Held, the newly proclaimed Sultan, is
gaining new adherenls while deserlioDs
from the Sultsn's army are constantly
Weakening bis forces. 1t is feared the
fierce trbesmen OF eog thern Morocco will
force MouleS to adopt sB Snti-foreign
policy despite his apparent unwiliingne'S
to do so.
Following the example of the aulhori-
ties of Mszsgan in recognizing Mouley
as Sultan, the towns of SAT- and Moga-
dor have likewise proclaimed him. His
army has been invited to witt these
towns. Mouley's letter to the people of
Mszsgan urging the tribesmen to peace
and announcing his own peaceful inten-
tons has not allsyed the fears of Euro
peans, as il Il believed he cannot deny
his wild followers WAC are anxious TO
still inaugurate n holy war.

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. 20. 1907.

The SUDDEN terrible death of Mrs.
Robert G. Kelsey, Of New York, killed
when the automobile in which she was
riding suddenly lesped into the air,
turned somersault, completely looping
the loop, hurting her out to instant
death, has put sudden check upon The
speed mania OF automobile and rsclng
enthusiasts. The most simple accident
known TO aulomobiling--S burst tire
caused the accident. Stewart Elllop,
with whom Mrs. Kelsey WAS riding, is
in serious condition today from the
shock of the accident, as we'll as bis in
iuries, a dlslOcated knee cap, several
broken ribs, three fingers of his left
hand broken, and numerous bruises and
cuts. He saved his life by cliDging to
the steering wheel, when the machine
made its leap into the air. Kelsey
and O chauffeur we're racing Elliott
and Mrs. Kelsey at the Morris Park
track when the fatal accident happen
ed. The cars were going fifty miles
an hour, and Elliott had gained
short lead when the tire exploded.
Elliott, it developed, today, figured In
another fatal accident abou: year ago,
when he ran down a mounted policeman
killing the horse and hurting the officer,
while a Mrs. Nob.es, o: Baltimore, one
OF Elliott's party, received injuries which
caused death. 1t is about time that
those who have contracted the automo-
bile mania were returning to sanity.
Fatal accidents, due to the running the
cars at dangerous speed are occurring
daily. While fatal accidents often follow,
thousands of dollars worth Of property
are destroyed.

The Telegranhers, strike.

New York. Aug. 29.-The question
of whether brokerage operators shall
be called out to join the striking COM
mercial telegraphers, is still unsettled,
as the meeting scheduled for last night
to determine the question was postponed
until this evening, owing to the absence
OF National President Small from the
city temporarily. The basis of dissatis-
faction among the brokerage men is
the requirement, in many cases, that
they work With non-union men.
Both sides still claim to be satisfied
with the. situation. More men were put
at work, however, by the strikers secur-
ing signatures to the giant petition for
the business interests asking President
Roosevelt to use his good offices to end
the strike.
Danger of strike of operators of the
Long Island Railway apparently has
been averted through the announcement
made last night that the company is
preparing new schedule of hours aud
compensation to go into effect as soon as
possible.

among the mountains between this city

from the State COnstabulary yesterday,

stolen from F. B. Loyett's barn some

funct FIRE company claim belongs to them.
When tue Oonsiabulnry arrived they de
msnded from Burgess Warner that he
admit them to the fire house. The bur
CESS promptly refused and the conStab-
ulary broke down the door. In an in
slant the burgess sounded the FIRE alarm
and 500 men responded, putting the
Oonstabulsry to roui.
