HOLY. War BREWING

EXPULSION OF ALL CHRISTIANS
From the Moor Region Reported to
Be the Desire Of Sultan

Madrid, Cable: General Marina,
commander OF the Spanish forces at
Melilla, has opened the offensive, but
the recent resistance OF the Moors
and the Spanish losses have con
WINGED the Government that the war
is not yet over. and that too much
importance should not be attributed
to the capture OF Mt. Guruga.
The Moors are reported TO be CON
centrated on the three mountains, Ar
gan, Uixan and Milon, which are al
most equally as dangerous OF access
as Mt Guruga and must be dislodged.
There are persistent reports here
that Mulai Haiid is secretly encourag-
ing a holy war and urging the tribes
men in the vicinity OF Fee to join the
Riiiians and expel the Christians from
the country.
IL is understood that several tribes
have dispatched contingents To rein
force Harka, the Rifiian leader.
The real reason for the ministerial
preoccupation over the situation is
the equivocal attitude of the Sultan.
Fears are entertained that he may de-
sire TO incite a general war between
Spain and Morocco.

Crown Prince Frederick William as a

The crown prince has been con

saw him fly, to take him up as a pass
enger Wright finally consented.
The prince reached the field al 4:30
In the afternoon without his adjutant.
After drawing on his overcoat the
prince took his seat alongside the
aviator and the machine rose in the
air. Wright kept il at a height of
about twenty feet for a brief period,
but the crown prince exclaimed,
Higher. higher" Finally the aviator
went above sixty feet and the crowds
heartily cheered the prince, who
waved back his acknowledgment
The aeroplaLe glided back to the
starting point ten minutes later.
The crown prince congratulated

BIG BUNCH CF 'kAE"
BEING PICKED UP BY COOK
THROUGH LECTURES.
NEWSPAPER STORIES HELP, TOO
Explorer Says South Pole Would Be
Easy, But Does Not Expect to
Undertake Trip.
NEWSPAPER STORIES HELP, TOO

Washington, Special: The national
capital had Dr. Frederick 4. Cook lin
its midst" Sunday night. He arrived
in time 10 eat a hurried dinner, and
then hustled over TO the National
Theater in order to be on time to be-
gin his lecture. The audience num-
bered between 1900 and 1000, and
the prices of seats were 81, 81 and 50
for the gallery, balcony and ground
floor, respectively.
Figuring from the standpoint of the
box Office, the house was worth be-
tween $4,000 and 81, 800 The theater
proper wanted to divide the receipts
with DR.. Cook on a percentage basis,
but the latter's system is to buy out
the house, that is. rent ii for a stipu-
lated sum and take all the proceeds
from the sale of tickets himself.
While the theater did not disclose
the rental, it is believed the amount
did not exceed $500, and may have
been less.
If his profit should average between
81 ,000 and $4,000 a night, 100 lectures
would bring him in something like a
quarter of a million dollars, and thus.

physical hardships.
DR.. Cook has now been lecturing
for week or 10 days, and his plan is
to continue doing SO indefinitely, or at
any rate until scientific and geograph-
ical societies apply the acid test 10
the data he will present in substantial
ton of his claim.
Possibly the rich pickings from lee
turing, which DR. Cook is gathering,
may furnish a partial explanation of
the attitude of Commander Peary, for
il is a matter of comment here that
the doctor has not been deferred from
taking the lecture platform by the
charge OF Peary that he was handing
the public gold brick"
Aside from the earnings from his
lectures. il is estimated that DR.. Cook
will realize fully as much from his
newspaper articles and the book
which his publishers will soon offer to
the public.
Asked whether he intended TO make
an effort to reach the south pole.
Cook said positively that he had no
such purpose, nor did he ever expect
TO undertake the trip.
He expressed the opinion, however,
that il would be easier to reach the
south pole than the north pole on ac-
count of geographical conditions,
meaning there was more land there
and the approaches did not come so
near being impossible.
An enthusiastic crowd Of several
thousand people greeted DR. Cook
upon his arrival at the Union Station
and the throngs in their eagerness to
see or get near him were kept back
with difficulty by several score of po-
lice and detectives.

nation depended on the building-up OF
an adequate merchant marine.

subject of a ship subsidy was re-

bilities that lie in Alaska, he plainly
caught the favor of his hearers and

Later on. when he was admitted to

intended TO visit Alaska next summer
and to go as far into the territory as
time would permit, In order that he
might come into contact with the peo-
pie and see for himself what might
best be done for their welfare.
Ir discussing ship subsidy Presi-
dent Taft declared that If war
should come at this time the United
States would not have enough vessels

be doubtful, under the neutrality laws,
he added, il the United States would

COMPETE FOR MISERY PRIZES
English Bachelors Essay to Look
Gloomy as Possible.

London. Cable: In the little Shrop-
shire township of Market Drayton
there has been seen more apparent
misery in a day than one would norm
ally find in two whole counties.
Local bachelors wandered around
with the scored lines of anguish upon
their features. Fortunately, this dis
tress was merely on the surface. All
the wearers of jaundiced counte-
nances were competitors in one of the
strangest competitions ever devised
a competition for the most miserable
looking bachelor.
IL was held at a fete in aid OF a
sniop SHIRE sanatorium. For days
past the bachelors had been practic-
ing how TO draw a long face. The
fete would have been a gloomy func-
ton had there not been as a contrast
prizes offered for the happiest looking
spinster.
No fete field ever presented such a
comical appearance as did the tented
Enclosure at the end of the town.
While the men essayed to look
gloomy the girls were all charms In
the misery" class marks were award
ed for the following points: Puckered
brows, dropping mouth corners, wild
or sad eyes, unshayen chin, and gener-
al fOrlorn appearance.
Dimples, good teeth, apple cheeks,
enticing glances went towards the
making of a happy young woman.
Eventually the misery prize went
to a young man named William Turn
err. The award for the happiest young
woman went to girl who has the
misfortune to be deaf and dumb
Miss Lucy Pearson, pretty brunette.
