TEMPERATE REQUEST OF
GOVERNMENT EXPLAINED
At AIgeciras Conference the Moroccan
Jewish Disability Question
Was Not Raised

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Why the
American government was so temperate
in its request of the Algeciras confer
ence, held in 1906, that justice be ac-
corded the Jews in Morocco, became
public today when the state depart
ment made public the various dis
patches of Henry White and S. R.
Gummers, the American delegates.
Shortly after it was learned that the
American delegates contemplated lay
ing before the conference a list of re-
strictions on Jews in Morocco, as set
forth in a letter of Jacob H. Schiff of
New York, the British and French am
bassadors approached Mr.. White on the
subject.
They said they hoped his instruc-
tions were not mandatory, as they
deemed it most undesirable to intro
duce any subjects not strictly within
the program, and they did not consider
the Jewish disability could be raised
as matter pertaining to the police
question.
Subsequently Mr.. White said he was
confident many of the restrictions
mentioned by Mr.. Schiff had fallen into
disuse and that most of the remainder
appeared to be de jure rather than de
facto.
The American delegates asked the
conference to express a hope in favor
of the equitable treatment of the Jews,
particularly, as well as the other non
Mussumans subjects of the sultan of
Morocco, which was done.

EARTHQUAKE LOSERS
WILL GET INSURANCE
SAN FRANCISCO FIRE NOT DUE
DIRECTLY TO TEMBLOR
Over Two Hundred Policy Holders
May Force Settlement from COM
panies Under Important
Law Point Settled

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-An i'm
portant decision relative to the earth
quake clause in fire Insurance policies
was handed down today by the United
States circuit court of appeals.
1t directly affects several hundred
pending suits against insurance COM
panies for losses sustained in the great
fire of April, 1906, and may result in
the insured obtaining the principal of
their policies within three or four
years.
The case decided today was that Of
the Richmond Coal company against
the Commercial Union Assurance COM
pany of London, in which it was
sought to recover about $4,000 insur
ance on coal in the bunkers at Spear
and Howard streets, which caught fire
several hours after the earthquake of
April Is, 1906, and was destroyed after
smouldering for a month. The circuit
court of appeals reverses the Judgment
of the lower court, which was in favor
of the insurance company, on the
ground that the trial judge went too
far in his instructions to the jury con-
corning the earthquake clause.
The higher court decided that the
earthquake was not the proximate
cause of a fire which occurred after the
earthquake shock virtually holding
that an earthquake cannot cause a fire
directly, and that for an earthquake
to be the indirect cause of a fire the
bl9Ze must follow Immediately upon
the quake.
The court of appeals also holds that
it was proper to take into account
causes, such as wind backfring and
dynamiting, intervening between the
earthquake and the fire destroying the
property involved.
The appellate court also decided an
other very important point. which is
that a fire following upon an explosion,
such as one caused by dynamiting, is
covered by the terms of tho insurance
policy

BALLOON DROPS

ARMY AIRCRAFT EXPL0DES IN
JACKSON, NEB.
TWO OCCUPANTS MANAGE TO
ESCAPE INJURY
Ascension Made at Fort Omaha at
11:15 Yesterday Morning Ends
Disastrously Nearly Eight
Hours Later

OMAHA, May 10.-Army balloon No.
IL, which assembled from Fort Omaha
shortly after IL o'clock today, landed
at jackson, Neb., at 6:45 p. m.
In making a landing the gas bag ex-
ploded few feet above the ground and
was destroyed, but neither Capt. Chand-
Ter nor Lieut.. Ware, who made the
flight, was seriously injured.
Lieut.. Ware declared tonight that
aside from the destruction of the gas
bag the fight was an entire success.
Capt. Chandler believes that at a high
altitude the gas bag became charged
with static electricity and that contact
with the earth produced an electric
spark which set fire to the big bag.
The ascension was made from Fort
Omaha at 11:15 this morning, and was
supervised by Capt. Chandler, assisted
by q detachment of trained signal corps
men.
Balloon Goes North
The balloon started north as soon as
it was we'll in the air and soon crossed
the Missouri river.
1t followed the general course of the
river for nearly a hundred miles, the
fight following an east-northwestern
direction.
The highest altitude reached was 400C
feet. A fair breeze carried the bag at
a 3O-nile gait the first hour Later il
was becalmed for an hour and a half.
The wind then sprang up and carried
the balloon rapidly toward the north
west. Running out of ballast near
Jackson. Capt. Chandler decided to
make a landing.
The balloon came down in an easy
manner, and then followed the explo-
sion. Both Capt Chandler and Lieut.
Ware were knocked down, but not seri-
ously wounded.
The distance travelled was about 12C
miles, and deducting the hour and a
half the balloon was becalmed the flight
was made in about six hours. The

Object of Inquiry


From the questions asked it appeared
that the prosecution was seeking to
show that Mr.. Calhoun was in absolute
control of the board from the time of
his election as president in 1905, and
that the majority of the directors were
merely dummies, holding but a single
share of stock each.
Near the close of the session two
walters of the Cosmos club told of hav-
ing seen Abraham Ruef and Mr.. Cal
houn at luncheon together at the club
in May, 1906.
Following them Louis A. Fox, Ruef's
chauffeur from July 80, 1906, to Septem-
ber 1906, told of a trip to the rail-
road company's office in August.
The defense brought out discrepan-
cies in the testimony of these three
witnesses by a comparison with the
evidence given by them at the Ford
trials.
The last witness called was Victor a.
Rossetti, chief clerk of the Wells
Fargo-Nevada National bank. where
the company had an account.
Transcripts of the books of the bank
showing the account of the company
during April, May, June, July and Au-
gust, 1906, were read into the record,
but the significance was not shown, as
the witness was still on the stand
when court adjourned for the day.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 10.-The
eighteenth week of the trial of Patrick
Calhoun, president of the United Rail

1906, opened today with the prosecu-
ton engaged in the endeavor to forge
the connecting links of it's chain of evil
dence which are vital, inasmuch as
they are intended to directly implicate

The first several weeks of the taking
of testimony passed without the inter
lection of Mr. Calhoun's name into the
interrogations, but in the last flve OF
six days the character of the evidence
has changed and nearly every witness
has been questioned as to the relation
of the defendant to certain aspects OF
the case.
Most Of the day was given over to
the investigation of the minute books
of the United Railroads directors
which were used by Secretary George
B. Wilcutt of the company to refresh
his memory.
