FORD CAR NO. 2 WINS IT

Seattle, Wash, June 24.-Amid the
cheers of $4,000 people who blocked
the streets around the main entrance
to the aska-Yukon-Pacific exposition,
Ford car No. 2, driven by w. B. Scott,
In the transcontinental automobile
race, crossed the tape at 12:55:35
o'clock, winning the Guggenheim tro-
ply cup and $4,000 purse. The car
had been out from New York twenty
two days and fifty-five minutes.
The car was seriously delayed dur
ing the last 100 miles of the race by
the deep snow in the Snoqualmis pass,
through the Cascade mountains. Be-
cause of rumor that a protest would
be filed against Ford No. 2, because Il
was reported to have dropped a man
and picked him up afterwards, the
award was not made.
The Shawmut car, which entered the
Cascade mountains eight hours behind
Ford car No. 2, had not been reported
yet. 1t was expected to finish during
the night and claim the second prize
OF $500.
The Italian car was in Cheyenne at
4:30 yesterday afternoon.

REBELLION IN MOROCCO
Sultan Has Sent an Army to Fight Re.
bellious Roqhi.

Tangier, Morocco, June 24.-Advices
from Fee indicate the international
peace Of Morocco is again threatened
by the depredations of the rebel
Roghi, to whom a large number of
tribes are reported as swearing allie
glance. Another factor is the raids
conducted by the sultan's rebellious
brother, Mulai Kebir, who at the
head of the zennour tribesmen is now
marching on Mequinez.
The sultan has organized a flying
column of 1000 men to pursue Roghi
The defenses of Fee have been
strengthened and foreigners are pre-.
pairing to fee. On June 20 the situa-
ton of Mulai Hafid was described as
desperate. Roghis forces who had
defeated the sultan's army twenty
miles from Fee, were then at the
gates of the capitol.
Communication between Fee and
Mequinez is impossible, the route be-
ing hemmed in by tribesmen from
the west. 1t is reported that Glaoui,
the chieftain to whom Mulai Hafid
largely owes his position today, has de-
serted his master.
Mulai Hafid, disregarding the ad-
vice Of the vizirs, marshaled his re-
naming troops at the capitol and sent
them out under the command of
Chergui to engage the pretender. II
Chergui is defeated the vizirs prob
ably will depose Mulai Hafid and pro-
claim one Of his brothers, possibly
Abd-El-Aziz, sultan of the empire.
The situation Of foreigners at Fee
is described as critical, as the capitol
has been denuded of troops.

WANTS MORE TOBACCO

Washington, June Ex-senator Bev
eridge addressed the senate at length
today in support Of his amendment
changing the size of tobacco packages
in force since the Spanish-American
war tax was levied.
BY repeating the tax without in
creasing the size, the senator claimed
the American Tobacco company had
been the recipient of many millions OF
dollars it should not have received.
"The manufacturer kept on collect
ing the war tax" he explained, latter
it had been taken off and instead OF
paying it to the government he paid
it to himself"
Mr.. Beveridge declared that If his
amendment was adopted the govern.
ment would receive more than $21, 000,.
900 additional revenue and correct the
wrong which the people had suffered
for eight years.
"The American tax on tobacco" he
added, is only fraction of the tax of
most other civilized nations"

Washington, June 24.-The repub-

Unquestionably the provision will be
accepted substantially as prepared by
those men but some of the committee
members have made suggestions look
ing to slight changes, with view to
making the amendment as impervious
to attack as possible.
The fact has already become known
to the committee that many of the
strongest corporations in the country
will not only antagonize the provision
before 1t goes on the statute books,
but will do their utmost afterwards to
overthrow 1t.
1t was not believed that the COM
mittee's work would be completed to-
day and it was therefore considered
probable that the provision would be
withheld from the senate until tomor-

Detectives and Police Hide While Boy

tally Woundins the Boy.
Chicago, June 24.-Rudolph Berndt
a 14-year-old boy, was killed by the
police here last night, following an al.
legged attempt on his part to initiate
BLACK Hand" methods and secure
money by threatening letters.
He was shot on a lonely street cor.
ner just after he had seized package,
supposed to contain $4,000, from his
victim.
s. F. Glossfeld, a wealthy wholesale
grocer, was the man who agreed to
pay over the $4,000. He received a
threatening letter week ago signed
by the "Black Hand" in which a de-
mand was made that the merchant
have $4,000 in two packages two
nights later and to bring them to Des
PLANES street and Grand avenue.
Death Was Threatened.
Grossfeld was threatened with death
If he failed to comply. The grocer no.
titled the police and detectives
watched with him on the appointed
night. A package made up of news
paper clippings was ready. No one
appeared to claim. Threats by tele-
phone followed and the frightened gro.
Ger again notified the police. Another
meeting was appointed for last night.
Policemen were hidden behind door
ways and signs in the vicinity.
AS Grossfeld approached the place
boy stepped out of doorway and
asked: as this Mr.. Grossfeld?".
The grocer replied in the affirmative
and the boy snatched the package
from his hands and fed.
Detective Shoots Him Down.
Detective Weinrich, who was across
the street, fired two shots. One hit
the boy and he fell fatally wounded.
AS he lay on the sidewalk he tried to
shoot the detective. At the hospital
he confessed before he died, naming
his cousin, Alfred Hasse, 16 years old,
in the plot. Hasse was standing near
at the time of the shooting. He was
arrested later.
Boy Asks to Be Forgiven.
Grossfeld went to the hospital after
he learned who was his victim. The
boy heard he was there and sent for
him. In feeble voice he said:
Please, Mr.. Grossfeld, forgive me
and kiss me before die"
Grossfeld, crying. complied with the
request and few minutes later the
boy died.
