SULTAN'SARMY
HIS BROTHER IS VICTORIOUS
NEAR MOROCCO.
BIoodest Battle of Campaign Which
His Eldest Brother Has Conducted
Soldiers in Mad Panic-Overthrow
of Sultan Causes CONSERVATION
Among His Subjects.

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
SO 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 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 a 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.
The news of the overthrow of the
sultan has thrown the war office into
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.

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

shortly afterward he entered Fee. the

SAY HE STOLE The Sl75,OOO
FROM CHICAGO DEPOSITORY.
Mystery of Robbery of Subtreasury
May Be SoIved-Big Bills Missing
For Eighteen Months Crime Has
Baffed Secret Service Men-Ac-
cused Was a Teller.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-The mystery OF
the theft of $4,000 from the United
States subtreasury a year and a half
ago, one of the largest losses the gov
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 Cheft, February 90
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 a theft to
be consummated 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.. Youngs 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 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 scale not consistent with the size
of her reputed means. There was,
however, no ostentation in Fitzgerald's
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 prearrangement, Detective
Young says, several witnesses were
present when the former teller pro-
posed to pass two $1,000 bills to Colonel
Gano. ~ will bring two" Fitzgerald
is alleged to have said, 'for you can
get rid of two just as well as one"
So far as known Fitzgerald was not
seen to pass any of the large bills.

Bold Robber
In National ark

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., Aug. 3d.
A. highwayman Monday held up IL
stage coaches five miles from Old
Faithful inn and robbed tourists of
more than $4,000. The bandit escaped.
Two troops of cavalry and a squad of
government scouts are in pursuit.
The work was done by q lone high
wayman and the passengers were abso-
lutely helpless in his hands, as no guns
are permitted in the park to either
drivers or tourists. In all it is esti-
mated from the statements of passen-
gers, that something like $4,000 in
cash was obtained, drafts worth S10,-
900, other papers and transportation
besides rich haul in watches and
jewelry.
In all, about 100 people were held up
thodgh not all of these suffered loss.
When he ordered the drivers to move
on, he stood a few minutes with his gun
pointed toward them and then walked
down the road. AS quickly as possible
after telephone was reached at
Thumb station, word was sent to the
soldiers and detail started after the
highwayman. The man is described
as about five feet eight inches, blue
gray eyes, bristly, gray whiskers, and
acted either as man who was short
of breath OF consumptive. He un-
darstood German, as he answered ques-
lions asked him in that language. He
had on blush brown overalls, brown
shirt, soft felt hat, and carried an au-
tomato rifle and used smokelesss pow
der.
Later Report.
The total loss to the passengers in
the 16 coaches held up by the lone
highwayman is now estimated at $10,-
900 in money and an equal amount in
watches and jewelry. The robber has
not been apprehended, although Major
Allen and detachment of soldiers and
scouts have been on the trail since the
holdup. The chances for his escape
are good. as the point where the holdup
occurred is near the jackson hole
country, famous as a refuge for crimi-
mails, and is reached from that part of
the park by several routes. This, COM
bined with the start the bandit gained
while the coaches were making the
drive of Is miles to the lake. makes his
escape seem almost certain.
The section of country through which
the highwayman is fleeing is so rugged
and covered with underbrush that pur-
suit on horseback is practically impos-
sible, and the soldiers are following on
foot. Contrary to expectations, the
robber, up to the time his trail was
lost, had not sought the high mountain
GUS country, but had skirted along the
foothills.

ALL FOR LOVE OF GIRL.
Two Men Fight Before a Crowd of
 Paralyzed Spectators.

Chicago, August 30-(Special. "A death struggle, spectacular in It's details be- yond the unfettered dreams of the pro ducers of melodrama, which was waged between two frenzied men on a narrow space on the brink of raging blast fur mace, was given the seal of tragedy last night when one of the combatants died at the South Chicago hospital. The man succumbed from blow inflicted with an iron bar, but only the strange inter- vention of fate prevented horrible death to one or both of the men by the flames of the furnace after plunging fall of 150 feet. Spectators O the remarkable strug- gle, which occurred on the plant of the Iroquois Iron company, fully expected this outcome as they watched the writh- ing figures, scarlet in the glare of the fires
 Nicholas Videviem, 25 years old, who lived at Twenty ninth street and Green Bay avenue, was the man who died, and Evan Maelitch. a fellow workman, was the slayer. Maelitch is now under arr rest, having calmly surrendered himself to the police after dealing the fatal blow. A pretty Polish girl was the cause of the bitterness which led to the battle. Feeling between the men had existed for long tina
