Newspapers Insist on chanceIlor's
Observation-Disclosures. and French
Observation-Disclosures De-
manded on Each Side
Especial to The Herald


BERLIN, Nov. 7.-Complications are
rising rapidly but by diplomatic per-
severance likewise are rapidly dis
posed of in the controversy between
France and Germany over the Casa
Blanca affair.
It is considered here that Frances
attitude in the dispute is somewhat
arbitrary, and the fact that apologies
are demanded and refused on both
sides adds to the interest daily in the
developments, and causes some specu-
lation as to the probabilities of a
more serious clash at which high up
officials laugh.
The rumor nevertheless is insistent
in Berlin, stimulated by any newspa-
pers, that Chancellor Won Buelow must
resign. To the miscarriage of the i'm
pefial document relative to the pro-
posed peace conference .he press gem
orally attributes Germanys present
complications with France, for diplo-
mats concede that the wretched treat
ment of the war office correspondence
and the grave mistakes made by Won
Buelow in quoting the emperor has
placed the Germans in a bad light in
France, if not in Russia.
1t is hourly expected that Won Buelow
will again submit his resignation, and
that this time the emperor will see fit
to accept it,
The chancellor's explanation as to
how the interview reached the press is
not accepted as satisfactory in many
quarters and has aroused bitter criti-
cism on the part of many German news
papers. The matter is likely to come
before the reichstag at an early date.

last night and retired at about IL
o'clock apparently in perfect health.
Today when Mr. Cranwell, his private
secretary went to awaken him, his
death was discovered.
An examination of the body by the
house physician disclosed the fact that
Mr.. Cornish had been dead for some
hours. While a superficial examination
indicated that death had been due to
heart disease, the doctor said there
was a possibility it had been caused by
apoplexy.
The body will be sent to Orange,
N. j., where Mr.. Cornish lived. His
office was at 12O Wall street. New
York.
Mr.. Cornish was a member of di-
rectors of the following corporations:
Leavenworth. Kansas & Western rail-
road; the Northern Pacific Terminal
company of Oregon; the Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation company, of which
he was also vice president; the Ore
gon Short Line Railroad company, of
which he was president; Portland Rail-
road company, of which he was presi-
dent; Portland & Asiatic Steamship
company; the San Pedro. Los Angeles
e. Salt Lake Steamship company; the

Frank Leroyxez, an employe at the

being gored to death yesterday by an
infuriated zebu bull. That the ground
into which he was trampled was soft
and that he was thrown into a man

Leroyxez entered the inclosure to
clean up, when the bull suddenly at
tackled him and knocked him down,
breaking the handle of the rake which
the man carried and with, which he
attempted to defend himself
The bull first attempted to gore Le-
royxez with his horns. and then sud
denly tossed him into the air. Le-
royxez landed ten feet away, falling
in the manger.
Before the bull could reach him he
scrambled up the big bars in front of
the inclosure and safely went over the
top.
His left arm was wrenched so Sc

several days. At first it was thought
he was injured internally, but he in

Such are the remarks that fell on the
ears of P. H. Muellers. who, to pay off
a freak election bet made with j. l..
Kleinpeters, swept a lemon over the
streets from the tailor shop of Mr..
Kleinpeters,- on Spring and Third
streets. up Third to Broadway out
Broadway to Second, down Second to
Spring and back to the tailor shop,
where he threw down the broom and
lemon, demaaning the So he had de-
posted as a forfeit If he failed to pay
the debt.
Pinned to the back of the man with
the lemon was a large red nlacard dec
grated with cream silk ribbon, which
bore in large white letters the words,
81 voted for Bryan. Wasn't a
rummy?"
AS he went around the block,
the winner of the wager followed
close at his heels but Mr.. Muellers
didn't seem to mind it in the least

from the throng which followed him.
That's all right" he responded. IF

him again. and he added under his

One youngster about years old, who
sells papers on the streets, didn't seem
to agree with the politics of Mr.. Muel-
lers, and at the corner of Broadway
and Second street he dealt the placfrd
a heavy blow with his right arm. Muel-
lers slapped him on the head with his
broom, smiled and kept on rolling his
lemon.
"I don't care" he said; "Fd rather
do this than to roll wheelbarrow. 1t
is far more dignifed and less weari-
some."
Mr.. Muellers proved .hir-self a prac-
tical philosopher. He refused to go on
the street with the lemon until the
last minute was us, but when Klein
peters handed him the broom and
lemon he walked to the middle of the
street as calm and collected as most
condemned murderers go from the cell
to the gallowS.

GERMANY ACCEPTS FORMULA
BUT WANTS REGRET CLAUSE

PARIS, Nov. 7.-Germany, it was
learned here today, at first refused to
accept the formula proposed by France
for settlement Of the Casa Blanca in
cident, proposing at the same time
certain notifications therein.
These were rejected by France in her
turn after which Germany declined to
re-examine the formula. Last night
Herr Won Schoen, the German foreign
secretary, informed Ambassador Cam
bon the French formula was satisfac-
tory, provided a clause was added in
which France expressed her regret for
the violence committed on the person OF
the German consular attache," Ger
many at the same time expressing re-
gret that the German consul had Eek
ceeded his powers in Offering protec-
tion to deserters from the foreign
legion of the French army who Were
not German subjects"
Ambassador Cambon politely but
firmly declined ito transmit such a
proposition to Paris, explaining that his
instructions did not permit him to re-
ceive any proposition involving censure
of the French action.
Herr Won Schoen thereupon agreed
again to examine the French formula
The final response from Germany is
not expected before Tuesday.
The publication of the following
statement was authorized today;
Authorized Statement
France remains entirely conciliatory
We don't desire to hold to the strict
Interpretation of wording. We are will
ing to make any concessions in the
matter of the formula suggested by US
that Germany deems necessary to save
appearances, provided this does not
prejudice the case or involve indirect
or direct censure of the action of oul
officers and soldiers at Casa Blanca
who we are convinced, are in the
right.
ION this point the government is
backed by the unanimous opinion o1
the press and parliament. The coun-
try is unanimous also in the belief thai
any other course would be unworthy
the national dignity and mean the i'm.
mediate fall of the government.
Russia and Great Britain with
whom we are having direct daily ex-
changes, fully support our attitude"
AS another proof of its desire tc
avoid envenoming the situation, the
French government has decided tc
withhold publication of the report ol
the police Investigation at Casa Blanca
because it believes this so completely
justifies the French attitude that to
give it out would result in inflaming
public opinion against German. 1t has
turned out that one of the three sup
posed German deserters is a naturalized
Frenchman.

Government Scores Initial Victory in
Suit to Dissolve Giant Monopoly
Alleged to BE Restraining
Trade
TBy Associated Press.1

NJ EW YORK, Nov. THE conten-
tion of the government that the
~ American Tobacco company is a
trust operating in restraint of trade and
competition in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law was sustained to-
day in decisions handed down by
Judges Lacombe, Cox and Noyes in the
United States ecourt here. Judge
Ward dissented.
In the suit, which was prosecuted by
James c. McReynolds and Edwin P
Grosyenor, special assistants of the
United States attorney general, the
government asked for an injunction
dissolving the combination.
The government also asked the court
to appoint receiver to wind up the
affairs of the allied corporations.
lnjunctions Favored
While finding that there was an lille
gal combination as charged Judges La
combe, Cox and Noyes in their opinion
say that injunctions should issue
against all the defendants except the
United Cigar Stores company and the
R. P. Richards. jr., company.
The injunctions are, however, stayed
pending an appeal to the United States
supreme, court.
The petition asking for the appoint
ment of a receiver was refused as be-
ing "impracticable and wholly unneces-
sary."
The Imperial Tobacco company and
the British American Tobacco COM
pany, English corporations, were in
cluded in the suit, but these complaints
were dismissed.

At the close of business today
~ National Bank Examiner Cum
ningham posted a notice on the doors
of the First National bank of this place
that the bank had been closed by order
of the comptroller of the currency.
This action. it is said, was a surprise
not only to the depositors but to the
officials of the bank. No reason is
assigned.
At the time of it's last statement the
bank had 100000 in deposits. 1t was
organized in 1898 with a capital of
$780, 600 and surplus of $4,000, and has
since considerably expanded.
The directors will confer tomorrow
with Mr.. Cunningham. The belief Is
expressed that the bank will reopen
next week.
All Appeared Normal
Everything appeared in a normal
condition when the bank closed, al
though many rumors of shortages have
since been circulated.
1t is reported that at the last regular
examination there was flaw in the
accounts, later adjusted. This is de-
MED.
RumorS late tonight are 10 the eHect
that the bank has violated the state
laws and that a big scandal is pending.
A great many depositors will be af-
fected if the bank is unable to pay off,
as many of its patrons are laboring
people.
Directors of the bank stated tonight
the bank would reopen, and professed
ignorance as to the cause of the failure,
but gave evasive answers when ques-
toned as to the rumors.
There is considerable excitement as
a result of what is feared may be per-
manent insolvency.
