FRANCO-SPANISH VIEWS ON MooRiSH AFFAIRS DELIV-
 FRED TO THE POWERS.
GOVERNMENT AT WASHINGTON GETS COPY
The TWO Nations Want Assurances From Mulai Hafid Regarding His Attitude on Various Subjects America's Participation in Affair of Benevolent Nature.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Through MT. Des Portes. the charge daffaires of the French embassy, the state depart. ment was late Monday afternoon put in possession of the contents of the Franco-Spanish note on the Moroccan situation communicated to the powers signatory to the Algeciras conference. The officials declined to discuss the nature of the note, but it is under stood that France and Spain want certain assurances from Mulai Hafid regarding his attitude toward various foreign interests in Morocco. The United States government was a sig natory power to the Algeciras con ference, but expressly stipulated that ia accepting the application of certain regulations and declarations to Amer ioan citizens and interests in Morocco, it did so without assuming obliga- tions or responsibility for their in- forcement.
 The note was presented to Acting Secretary Adee by MT. Des Portes, the counsellor and charge d'affaires of the French embassy in the absence of Ambassador Jusserand. A copy will be sent to Secretary Root as soon as the note is translated.
 Without any political interest in that section of the world American participation partook of the benevo- lent nature and as expressly stated was to obtain for all peoples the widest quality of trade and privilege and the securing of measures tending to insure eordiality of intercourse and stability of administration.

sinew of which we of this world are
constituted, cur thoughts. deeds and
emotions fern a pretty fair basis for a
play. Mr.. Walter makes determined
attack ard the unusual aspect of his
own play has won him success. In
part the theme of Paid in Full may
be described as delicate. but the
author deals with it truthfully and
naturally His dialogue is the under
standable vocabulary of the hour and
he has adroitly Knitted together most
consistent CLAIM of incidents. In the
character of Joseph Brooks he has an
individual with socialistic tendencies
and withal an egotist. His heart is
| filed with sullen hatred because his
employer does not favor him in the
wage matter as generously as he does
other workers and in moment Of
| recklessness, he becomes an embezZler
and then sets up his wife and him sell
in lavishly appointed apartment. In
an effort TO win back part of his
stolen gains he plays the ponies and
goes deeper into the mire with the in
evitable result, discovery. In Brooks
Mr.. Walter has written a wondrous
character; likewise in the persons OF
Captain Williams, Jimsy Smith and
Emma Brooks, characters so natural
and lifelike as to be wholly unusual.

ELECTION OFFICERS DISMISSED
BY Secretary Thompson For Misfea.
sance in Office.

Columbus, On voluminous opin-
ion rendered Secretary of State Carmi
A. Thompson, who is, under the law,
chief supervisor of elections, removes
from office three of the four members
of the county board of elections in
GalIia county.
The deposed officials are A. S. Rip
ley, republican, and S. A. Dunbar and
Leonard Beck, Jr., democrats.
Secretary Thompson gives as his
reasons for taking such drastic action
the fact that the deposed men have
been guilty of "misfeasance in office
and for other good and sufficient
cause"
He. therefore, directs the executive
committees of both parties in Gallia
county to furnish to him the names of
three others for appointment, two dem
ocrats and one republican.
Charges were filed against the three
men on August II, last, by Robert NJ.
Switzer, head OF the republican faction
in Gallia county, which bears his
name.
He claimed that they had been gull
ty of both malfeasance and misfea-
sance in office, at a meeting held on
August Z, 1908.

is about 250,000 tons. Hence you
might place two navies the size of the
one pos sessed by America ON top Of
a 2O0-foot plot of ground and the
weight would be the same as that of
200-foot building. The strain on
the earth's crust is a terrible one,
and in time it is declared the crust
would give way under the fearful pres
sure. For that reason the aldermen
clamped the ban. on buildings a mile
high.
Then the wind pressure upon large
buildings must be taken into consider
alton by the corps of experts engaged
in operations in New York.
On a building 1000 feet high the
wind pressure on each wall is 5000
tons, which on four walls adds $4,000
tons, and including the roof pressure
there is 10000 tons added weight,
which increases the total number of
tons on the whole structure to $4,000
tons. This is an enormous weight,
and far out of the conception Of the
WAAANLA uOSo AOS
have to deal with such monstrous pro.
positions.
The monstrosity of the entire propo-
sition is made almost impossible by
the physical limitations of the earth,
strata and general texture of the coun.
try in the neighborhood of New York.
For that reason experts have figured
by complicated processes that the big
gest building which New York will
construct in the future will not be
over 1000 feet in height.
The work of devising engineering
schemes which will lessen the fearful
weight exerted upon the earth's crust
is now the object of the biggest work
ers in this line, and millions of dollars
would be paid the man or firm that

buildings in the district where they

paid no attention to his instructions
apparently, the Columbus board being
among them.
He claims that some Of the build

the attorney general fol an opinion as
