Aged Philosopher Termed the
Shakespeare of Nineteenth
Century" by Journals

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 10-The
newspapers of Russia appear today al
most without exception as Tolstoi jub-
lice numbers. and they publish pages
devoted to his life, criticisms and his
literary work and anecdotes of his ca
reer. Many of the articles naturally
are phrased in terms of extravagant
adulation, but in geaeral the criticisms
are discriminating and just.
The Novoe Vremya entities him the
Shakespeare of the Nineteenth Cen
tury" and calls his novel, War and
Peace" the Russian Iliad which cre-
ated a standard of Russian patriotism.
No special celebration of the ami
versary was held in st. Petersburg &
today. The school authorities, however,
refused to permit memorial exercises in
the city institutions, and all attempts
to decorate houses or exhibit portraits
and busts of Tolstoi were frowned
upon.

GERMANY AND
FRANCE AT ODDS
Tension Between the Countries
on Account of Moroccan
Situation Develops

PARIS, September 10.-It is officially
announced that the Franco-Spanish
note relating to the Moroccan situation
has been definitely drafted and sent to
Madrid for veriication, after which it
will be communicated to the powers.
The tone of the German press, in
commenting upon the Moroccan situa-
tion and especially the utterances of
the organ of the imperial chancellor,
Prince Won Bulow, in forecasting
Germany's rejection of the Franco
Spanish note regarding Morocco, has
revived uneasiness here. A renewal Of
the tension between France and Ger
many and possibly an acute interna-
tiona1 complication is feared.
The French press is displaying day
by day more irritation, which has been
increased by the expulsion yesterday of
Pierre Adigard. member of the French
chamber of deputies, from the German
maneuver ground in Alsace- Lorraine.
Furthermore, the report received today
that Emperor William intends to cross
the French frontier from Alsace-Lor-
raine to view the landscape from the
top of a mountain in France. furnishes
fresh occasion for the more sensational
journals to cry "Provocation" La
Patrie says: '"The presence of Emperor
William on French soil at the Same
time that a French deputy Is driven
from the annexed territory looks like
defiance and bravado."

RESERVE
SUIT IS ARGUED
Livestock Company Contests
Right of Government to Set
Aside Timber Land

CARSON CITY, New, Sept. 10.-One
OF the most important suits filed in this
state for years is being argued in the
federal court here against the right. of
President Roosevelt and others to set
aside timber lands as forest reserva-
tions under an act Of congress making
such provision. The Eureka livestock
company is the complainant. The suit
is against President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson, Chief For
ester Pinchot and Forester Barnett.
The case was argued yesterday before
Judge harrington and will conclude to-
morrow, when United States District
Attorney Plat will finish his argu-
ment
The forest reservation involved is
the Monitor forest reserve in Eureka
county. The plaintiff company states
that when the president and subordi-
mates set aside this tract of land as a
forest reserve, the company was graz
ing 5000 sheep, and now the forestry
department refuses TO allow them to
continue to do SO, threatening to con-
hscate the sheep II the company per-
sists in such action. The plaintiffs
claim the land is more valuable for
agricultural and mineral purposes than
for timber and therefore should not
be set aside.

Chief OF Police Buggy was officially
on the carpet before the board of
