JUDGES DAUGHTER
SHOOTS HERSELF

PARIS, Sept. 3.-An American woman,
known at the hotel where she lived as
Marie Colefelt, made an unsuccessful
attempt to commit suicide by shooting
today.
She fired two bullets from revolver
into her breast. She was at once re-
moved to the Beaujohn hospital, where
the bullets were extracted. 1t is be-
lieved that she will recover.
Why Mrs. Colfe1t should have at
tempted to take her own life is a
mystery and she refuses to make any
statement.
According to til 5fficials of the hotel,
which is situated n the Avenue Kle-
ber, near the American embassy, Mrs.
Colfelt arrived in June with her hus-
band, James H. Colfelt, and year
old son. Within a few days the hus-
band and son left for Dinard and have
not since returned.
Mrs. Colfelt who is 2S years of age,
spent most of her time in her room,
only coming down for her luncheon and
dinner.
1t is said she quarraled with her hus-
band, who has not yet been located.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.--The wom-
an who attempted suicide in Paris to-
day is the daughter of Judge William
w. Wiltbank of the common pleas court
of this city, and is the wife of James
III. Colfelt, son of the Rev DIR. Colfelt,
formerly pastor Of the First Presby-
terian church of Philadelphia. Some
time ago she married Gustave Hoek-
schor of this city, but they were di-
vorced and she later become the wife
of Colfelt.

GERMANY FIRST TO
RECOGNIZE SULTAN

BERLIN, Sept. 3.-The action of Ger
many concerning Morocco, 1T was ex-
planned today, is limited to the sugges-
tion to the signatories to the Algeciras
act that the time has arrived to recog-
nize Mulai Hafid as sultan of Morocco.
Official wonderment is expressed at
the agitation of the French and Eng
lish newspapers over the occurrence
They act as though Germany had done
something outside her powers instead
of something that one of the sigma
tory powers must do il the Moroccan
situation rs to be cleared up.
Mulai Hafid has informed the powers
on several occasions that he would fully
observe the terms of the Algeciras con-
vention and he will doubtless repeat
these pledges IL to do SO is regarded
as a necessary preliminary to his rec
ognition.
German trade in Morocco is suffer
ing by the continuance of disorder
there, it was further explained today.
and Mulai Hafid and his lieutenant
governors have failed to recognize the
rights of persons under German pro-
lection. Consequently the German con-
sui at Tangier, DIR. Vassel, has gone to
Fee to straighten out these difficulties
France, some time ago, sent skillful
and experienced agent to the court of
Mulai Hafid, where he has since re-
malne0 LOOKING out 1ors French IN
terests. This envoy is an Algerian in
the French consular service
1t appears here that the French gov
ernment desires to make certain prf-
vate arrangements with Mulai Hafid be-
fore coming out In behalf of the legtti-
macy of his claim to the sultanate.
Another probable cause for the dis
satisfaction in Paris is that, certain
French interests made loans to ADD Ell
Aziz since the beginning of the civil
war and now they would like to per-
suade or compel Mulai Hafid to take
over responsibility for these transac-
tions. From the German point of view
this is unjust.
LONDON, Sept. 3.--It was learned to-
day that the British government is
holding aloof from Mu1ai Hafid, the new
sultan of Morocco, for the present but
1T proposes to recognize him in due
time.

MEMO PARK, Sept. S.-Despite his
20 odd years. ex-senator Charles n.

CABLE COMPANY IS
GIVEN LARGE FINE

CARACAS, Monday, Aug. 24.-After
more than three years of legal pro-
cedure the civil court of first instance
OF Caracas has delivered Judgment in
the sensational case of the French ca
bic company. The company has been
found guilty of completely in the Ma
tos revolution of 1903 and fined s5.000,-
600. Other damages are also to be as
sessed against 1t. The trial has been
even more startling than that against
the, New York and Bermudez asphalt
company. which also resulted in a
$5,000,000 fine because it has reached
far beyond the high Officials of the ca
bic company in Paris. The evidence
way even such names as that of M.
Delcasse. minister of foreign affairs of
France at the time of the revolution.
1t is Venezuela's claim that the French
government itself extended support to
General Matos, and NJ Quievreux.
French vice consul at Caracas, was SO
compromised by the documentary evil
dence which fell into President Cas-
tro's hands that he committed suicide in
Paris.
President Castro's action in closing
up the cable offices without providing
for telegraphic communication to the
exterior has been disastrous to COM
mercial interests in Venezuela.
Several attempts have been made to
establish wireless communication and
to get other cable companies to come
in, but all have been unsuccessful.

MISSING MAN IS
THOUGHT MURDERED
Relatives of John A. Rickard
Report His Mysterious
Disappearance

ton, but Never Used His
Railroad Passes

that John A. RIckard, a railroad en-
gineer for the Southern Pacific com
pany.. who drew $500 from bank in
this city last March and obtained rail-
road passes to New Orleans, has made
no use of the transportation and has
disappeared, is the cause Of an investi-
cation begun today by the police on
the theory that the young man was
murdered for his money
He lived at col Wood street over
Wolffs bakery. On the morning he in
tended leaving for New Orleans an ex-
pressman went to the place and re-
moved Richards baggage TO the Oak
land mole, where IL was checked at
his previous request TO the Louisiana

lice or his father, John Rickard, a
farmer Of Redwood canyon, have been
able 10 obtain OF the young engineer.

March. He had visited his father at
the Redwood ranch and had spoken of
his vacation. He made his applica-
tion for a leave of absence OF three
months to Master Mechanic Russell of
the Southern Pacific. and was advanced
transportation. He closed up his
rooms at 90l Wood street and ar
ranged for the hauling OF his trunks.
When word failed to come back from
young Rickard the father reported the
disappearance 20 the police. He made
inquiries at New Orleans and was
told notice had been received there OF
the shipment of Richards trunks. Late
Inquiry revealed that the passenger
transportation never had been used.
Rickard. the father made known to
the police the result OF his investiga-
tiops.
Captain OF Detectives Petersen began
q local investigation today and the
railroad is trying to trace the baggage
and the possible movements of the
young engineer in this city. Circulars
have been prepared for forwarding TO
the police Of other cities, containing
descriptions of Rickard and informa-
tion concerning his departure. Most
OF the missing mans bank deposits re-
main in the bank. the engineer draw
ing out only about $500 on the day
he disappeared and nothing since. His
father believes he had saved about
$4,000. and says this was generally
known in West Oakland at the railroad
yards.
