HOLY WAR DECLARED.

MuIai Hafid Proclaimed Sultan Of Mo-
rocco at Fee.
Tangier, Morocco, Jan. 11.-Mulai
Haid was, on Jan. i, proclaimed sui
tan al Fec, one Of the capitals of Mo-
rocco, aud holy war has been de-
clared.
The proclamations were issued at
the principal mosques and all the
Moorish formalities attending such
ceremonies were scrupulously OBJ
served. The uleamas, or body Of Mos
lem doctors, who interpret the Koran,
and the city officials were the prin-
eipal leaders in the movement. The
followers of Mulai Hafd made use of
the decision of Abdel Aziz to cooper
ate with France and Spain in the exc
cution of the terms Of the Algeciras
act and the installation of an interna
tiona1 police force in the coast towns
of Morocco to arouse the fanaticism
of the Southern Moors. Abde1 Az1z
was represented as having sold him
self to the Christians, as having coo
nived at the invasion of the sacred
soil of Morocco by Europeans and as
being ready to turn the country over
to the foreigners.

ON CHARGE OF ExTORTIOn
Appellate Court Frees Former
Mayor Schmjtz.

San Francisco. Jan. 10.-The district
court of appeals has handed down a
decision setting aside the judgment
in the case OF former Mayor Eugene
E Schmitz, convicted of extortion in
the French restaurant cases. Abe
Ruef also benefits by the ruling by the
upper court, for according to its de-
cision be pleaded guilty to an act that
was no offense against the laws OF
the state.
the compelling of French restaurants
to pay fees to Abe Ruef was not a
crime. even though Ruef divided the
fees" with the mayor.
After discussing the point the court
reversed the Judgment against Schmitz
on the ground that no acts constitut-
ing a crime had been proved against
him. Abe Ruef, who pleaded guilty
to extorting money from the French
restaurants, is therefore equally guilt
less
The decision wipes out the French
restaurant cases and pending charges
Of extortion against Schmitz and Ruef
must be dismissed. Both are now en-
titled to release on bail II they OBJ
tain the necessary bondsmen they can
remain at liberty until such time as
a jury finds them guilty on one of the
Indictments charging them with re-
ceiving brides from corporations.
There are still pending against Ruef
1875 indictments charging bribery, on
which the total bail is S1,170,0OO, and
Schmitz would have to get bonds for
$3.50 900 on the forty indictments that
remain against him to secure his lib.

of smoke came through the floor and
filled the stage. A large audience was

tainted and several were carried on
on the verge Of collapse. No damage

children in arms, being crushed to

fire. only the unaccountable panic Of
the crowd that found its egress from
the theater hampered by its own mum

IN BEHALF OF THAW
Minnesota Professor ,Testifies il
Noted Murder Case.
Defendant Declared to Have Been &C.
centric When a Student in Ohio
Over Twenty Years Ago.

New York, Jan. 15.-The attorneys
for Harry K. ThaW at his trial here
have begun relentlessly to build up
the case OF legal insanity which they
have in1erpOsed in his behalf as de-
tense for the killing OF Stanford
Whire, The TWO principal witnesses
of the day were Professor Charles H.
koehler Of Winona, Mimi, who acted
AS Instructor to Thaw in the Woos-
ter tO) university in 1885, and Mrs.
Amy Groserfe OF San Meteo, Cal. who
attended Thav as trained nurse at
Monte Carlo in 1921. They both TOlt
Of the young mans eccentriciries and
declared that his manner always was
Irrational
Dr.. John T. Deenar Of kittanning
Pa, one Of the Thaw family physi
clans, also was heard, as were the at
tendant physicians of three insIitu-
lions for the insane where mem bers
Of Thaws family on both paternal
and maternal sides were confined
District Attorney Jerome, by unexpect-
eddy invoking the sacred privilege Of
physician and patient, blocked much
of the testimony as to unsoundneSs Of
mind in the Thaw family, but the
calling OF the witnesses and the ques-
lions they were allowed by the court
to answer left the desired impress sion
upon the jury. Mr. Jerome explained
that the law compelled him to object
to such evidence without an express
, waiver from the patient. Even the
nurse who attended ThaW was not al
lowed TO testify until Thaw had per
sonally made a waiver Of the conn
den1ial privilege IN open court.
