sailed Monday from San Francisco to
Samoa. With the great fleet of 16
battleships of the Atlantic fleet now
on the Pacific, calls of courtesy in
Australia and incidentally demon.
strating the naval power of the United

aroused in Europe over the ability of
this country to follow it across the

make the cruise, which is undertaken
entirely for the benefit of the practice
and experience that will be gained.
Rear Admiral Swinburne will be in
command with the West Virginia as
his flagship.
The other vessels will be the Mary.

of this class, will be joined later by
the Colorado, which is now undergoing
some minor repairs at the Bremerton
navy yard in Puget sound.

SULTAN
DEFEATED
Observation-Disclosures
MOROCCO CITY.
OVERTHROW OF SULTAN CAUSES
SERIOUS QUANDARY IN THE
WAR OFFICE

His army crushed by the forces of
his brother, he himself barely escap.
ing capture and today refugee seek
ing protection under the French flag,
Abdul Aziz, sultan of Morocco, has
lost his throne to Mulai Mafid, the pre-
tender.
The overthrow of the sultan's army,
the receipt of the news of which to-
night surprised all France, occurred
80 miles from Morocco city and was
the bloodiest battle in the campaign
which Mulai Hafid, the sultan's elder
brother, has conducted for the sultan
ship, using a religious war" as his
weapon of conquest.
Full details of the battle are lack
ing, but it is reported that thousands
fell in the engagement and that the
sultan's forces, the advance guard
alone of which was engaged in the
early fighting, was put to utter rout.
The bursting of several of the sultan
cannon, due to ineffective gunnery,
threw the soldiers into a panic and
started the mad rout.
1t was at first reported that the
sultan had fallen into his brothers
hands, but message from the French
commander at Casa Blanca says that
Abdul escaped with a remnant of his
army and is now refugee somewhere
within the French zone, but just
where is not stated.
7 The news of the overthrow of the
sultan has thrown the war Office into a
quandary, as news from Morocco,
early in the week indicated the com.
plete defeat of the pretender in an
engagement near Ell Kela and the sur
render of Morocco city, which had
been held by Mulai Hafid.
There is no concealment of alarm,
however, should Mulai attempt to
throw too much power to the adven-
turous Englishmen who have conduct
ed his campaign. These concessions
are supposed to include mines, rail-
ways and the reorganization of Nor
occos' financial system, which France
will not willingly submit to.
Three months ago it was clearly
seen that the sultan was in imminent
danger of overthrow. The uprising
headed by his brother swept the coun-
try Moslem hordes were joining him
by the thousands. Mulai's cry was that
the sultan was rapidly becoming Chris
tianized and was deserving the old
Moslem faith. With such shibboleth
it was no trouble for him to rally a
large army.
Mulai proclaimed himself sultan of
the whole kingdom of Marrakesh, the
southern capital, at this time, and
shortly afterward he entered Fee, the
northern capital, amid the acclama-
tons of the populace and surrounding
tribes. Mequinez, Morocco's third CAPT
tai, was also taken by the pretender.

Cleveland's patience had an end. One
day as his friend entered he remarked:
There are my books. Help yourself

The lazy lawyer stared at him In

Is KING OF BRoNcHo BUSTERS.
Dick Stanley Rides "old Steamboat"
Outlaw Horse Never Before
Conquered.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-The awarding of
the first place to Dick Stanley of
Portland, Ore, in the worlds cham
pionship broncho busting contest here
today and the treatment of Ikuaa
Purdy and Archie Kiaua, the Ha-
waiians, who won first and third places
in the steer roping contests and carry
with them to their island home the
worlds championship, has done more
to overcome the feeling that outside
riders and rOpers could not get a
square deal in Cheyenne than anything
else. For years the Cheyenne riders,
or those living close to Cheyenne, have
been awarded the championship, and
often when outside riders were clear
ly entitled to the prize, but a trans
formation is in progress, and the peo-
pie OF Cheyenne are determined to
give outsiders the same chance to win
that is accorded local mon.
This spirit was manifested in the
stand today, when the judges insisted
upon Dick Stanley riding again and
again against Clayton banks, when the
Portland man clearly outpointed the
Cheyenne rider by riding Old Steam
boat" to a finish and scratched him at
every jump, whereas banks rode the
veteran outlaw with his spurs set firm
ly in the cinches. Stanley had been
giving exhibitions of fancy riding in
front of the grandstand and was worn
out before he entered the bucking, but
he gamely hung on and rode Beaver"
to a finish after he had subdued "Old
Steamboat
To Stanley belongs the honor of
being the first man who ever scratched
"Old Steamboat" and remained on his
back, for the best riders in the coun-
try have failed to stick and scratch
the outlaw.

MYSTERY
SOLVED
MONEY TAKEN FROM
TREASURY, CHICAGO.
q. W. FITZGERALD, Ex-EMPLOYE.
ARRESTED CHARGED WITH
TAKING THE MONEY.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-The mystery of
the theft of $4,000 from the United
States subtreasury year and a half
ago, one of the largest losses the gov
eminent has ever suffered in this man.
ner, is believed to have been solved by
the arrest of George w. Fitzgerald.
Others are believed to have been i'm
plicated in the crime. which for months
completely baffled the government Sc
cret service men. Fitzgerald was an
asserting teller under Assistant Treas
urer William BOldenweck, Suspicion
at the time of the theft, February 20,
1907, rested ON him, but so plausible
was his story that interest ceased to
center on him. Much work was done
on the theory that the crime had been
perpetrated by colored man. Mean
while Fitzgerald was discharged from
the government employ for culpable
negligence in allowing such theft to
be contaminated under his very eyes.
The money stolen had been used and
was tied in packages, some having
been marked for destruction at Wash
ington. Any of the bills would readily
have passed anywhere except for their
large denominations. None of the bills
was under $500 and some were of
$4,000 and $4,000 denominations. The
$4,000 ones predominated.
Meanwhile, Herbert F. Young, a
former Chicago newspaper man, and
now head of the Young Secret Service
agency, became interested in the case,
at first without official connection, but
later as the agent of Mr.. Boldenweck.
Mr. Young's attention was drawn to
Fitzgerald. The latter, upon his dis
charge from the subtreasury, stated
that his whole fortune consisted of
$500 in cash and a stock certificate for
$1,000. His wife had $500 interest in
the estate of her mother, which was
valued at about $4,000 and was in liti-
cation.
Mrs. Fitzgerald, however, according
to Mr. Young, embarked in speculation
on a scale not consistent with the size
of her reputed means. There was,
however, no ostentation in Fitzgeralds
life. The lavish display which de-
tectives invariably look for in tracing
stolen funds was absent.
Last July the scent is said to have
become hot when Colonel Harry c.
Gano, superintendent of A. Booth &
Co., a business man of prominence,
reported to Mr.. Boldenweck, it is said,
that Fitzgerald has approached him
with proposition to pass several
$1,000 bills. with your big business
connections" Fitzgerald is alleged to
have argued to Colonel Gano, you
can easily pass them. There's $500 in
it for you"
Gano is reported to have declared
that he had roll of similar bills that
would choke a horse" Boldenweck
requested Colonel Gano to resume ne
gotiations with Fitzgerald, with the re-
suit that by Encouragement, Detective
Young says, several witnesses were
present when the former teller pro-
posed to pass two $1,000 bills to Colonel
Gano. Il will bring two" Fitzgerald
is alleged to have said, ''for you can
get rid of two just as we'll as one"
So far as known Fitzgerald was not
seen to pass any of the large bills.
