TO BREAK
RELATIONS WITH SPAIN
France Aroused at Military
Activity 81 A1fonso,s Gov
ernment in Morocco.

PARIS. June 10.-Should Spain pursue
her projected military action in Mo-
rocco there is a possibility that France
will protest to the sgnatories of the
Algeciras act. the international agree
ment concerning Morocco. Such a step
would be taken by France only as last
resort, after other methods for restrain
ing Spain had been exhausted.
The situation was examined at length
at today's session of the cabinet at
which it is understood Jean Cruppi, the
minister of foreign affairs, was author
lied to continue friendly protests to
Madrid, but these failing France might
break off the existing negotiations con-
cerning and amending certain Spanish
treaty rights in Morocco, or even to
appeal to the powers.
The attitude of France, which seems
to be to avoid any semblance of the
danger of dismemberment of Morocco, is
Spain's entrance of El-Araish is not
justified by the facts and is a fragrant
violation of all treaty rights.
The Temps today says that if the
sultan protests against Spanish aggres-
sion the signatories to the Algeciras
act may be obliged to make representa-
tions at Madrid.
Extends Occupation to El-Araish.
MADRID. June 10.-Practically the en-
tire Spanish press supports the gov
ernment in extending the Spanish zone
in Morocco to El-Araish, the occupa-
tion of which is now an accomplished
fact.
Ell Imparcial declares that Spain
viewed with tranquility 1.-The invasion
|of Morocco by France" and therefore
merits from France a cordial. loyal and
neigl. .borly attitude. The paper adds
tne eo oroeet from aSd
that objections from France and Eng
land probably would be based on the
fear that Germany would declare that
the hour had come for the partition of
Morocco.

Escape in Automobile.

The men escaped in an automobile. pre-
sumably, and no trace of them has yet
been found They are supposed to have
been novces at the work. The fire was
started by an explosion which is believed
to have been caused by placing too strong
a charge in the vault.
The robber who lost his life was either
in the basement or in the drug store
adjoining the bank and was either killed
BY the explosion or caught in a trap
when the fire started and was unable
to escape. The officers Of the bank have
not yet got at the safe to ascertain
whether or not it was opened, but it is
thought the robbers got nothing.

shop. two blacksmith shops and a num-
ber of other buildings were destroyed.

Some Were Missed.

Friday the Freeman Tribune
published list of petitioners on
Boone, Elm and Walnut street ask
ing the council for concrete paving
in the event of pavements being put
in next year, also protest against
any paving on Boone street. Several
property owners whose names did
not appear telephoned this Office
next day that they were opposed to
paving. but had no opportunity to
sign petition. One widow who resides
on West Elm said she did not know
how she could pay her assessment,
When it was suggested to her that
If good job Of paving were secured
at fair price 1t would increase the
value OF her property to the extent
Of the cost, that may be-" she
responded. "But what good will that
do me? I do not want to sell my
place. want to live in 1t. II 1t is
accounted more valuable than now
my taxes will be increased and it is
a burden now for me to pay" The
Freeman Tribune could not success
fully controvert this argument and
subsidized into silence.

THAT "REpAIR" WORK
AT MARSHALLTOWN
Just as Was Expected, Mayor Spar
Doe and the Herald Wrong,
"as Usual"

This weeks Herald came out with
blare OF trumpets announcing that
the Freeman-Tribune had misrepre-
sented a certain city official and
that 1t refused to make a correction.
The Herald, however, admitted that
1t had made an error in stating re-
pairs were being made in Marshall
town on concrete paving south OF
the Pilgrim hotel--that the repair
work was being done east Of the ho-
tel. The Freeman-Tribune did not
feel il duty to make any correc-
tions for the blunders Of the Herald.
II 1t undertook anything OF the kind
1t would have no room for anything
else. The Herald says Mayor Spar
Doe is the "city oflciar' who told Of
the repairs In the concrete work at
Marshalltown and suggests that the
mayor knows more about paving
than the Freemau-Tribune ever can

THE WAY THEY DO in
TOWN OF ALGONA
The Council Respects the Expressed
Wishes Of a Majority Of
Property Owners.

Algona, Dec. 23.-For the second
time the proposition to inaugurate
paving in Algona was defeated
Thursday evening in the city coun-
ell. Last summer 1t was proposed
to pave State, the principal business
street. But the council took the
ground that 1t would not order pay
ing on any street unless q majority
of the property owners along the
same petitioned therefor. A canvas
showed that a majority Of States
property owners were opposed to
paving the street. hence the council
voted the scheme down. Afterwards
petitions for paving Call and Thor
ington, two OF the leading residence
streets. were prepared. These were
,signed by majority Of the property
owners along the streets in ques-
tion. But the opponents to paving
on these streets did some very quiet
and effective work, with the result
that, last week, a sufficient number
of signatures were withdrawn to
leave each streets petition for paw
ing without property owners ma
jority. Discovery of this fact was
not made until the council met and
a remonstrance was presented. At
ter going over the situation CAREFUL
ly the voted down the paving reso-
luton. Only two alderman voted for
paving, four against.

Freeman-Tribune has bought about
$4,000 worth of the paving already
laid in Webster City and ought to
know something about it.
Here is the truth of the MARSHALL
town repair work." which is not
repair work at all in the sense that
Mayor Sparboe wished to make it ap-
pear when plowing with the Herald
editors. D. w. Norris, who was fur
nished a copy of the Herald article,
writes as follows:
If have wronged some unknown
city official I herewith apologize.
took the contents of the clipping at
its face and when it was said that
this official saw repair work in pro-
gress tfour blocks south Of the Pill
grim hotel in my city, explained
that this was asphalt paving, not
concrete, and it was undergoing re-
pair at that time.
If the newspaper erred and now
insists that repair men were on the
job, patching cracks in the concrete"
when your official was here either
the official or the newspaper is mis-
taken or uniformed. Our concrete
least of the Pilgrim" was laid late
this fall and has never cracked.
When the work was being done GER
tain imperfections in construction
were fixed up, done over or fixed be-
fore the work was accepted. This
might be what was seen, or perhaps
your Official saw a man going over
the job filling the expansion joints
with asphalt. and thought that the
cracks were accidental. Our con-
crete pavement in alleys has been
down a year or so and is very salts
factory.
Our mayor says that your visiting
expressed themselves as
much pleased with the appearance
of our new concrete street paving.

LOCALS WIN
FIRST GAME
New Providence Basketball Team
Goes Down to Defeat to Web
ster City by Score Of 4
AZ to %.

House-Considerable Rough
ness Displayed.
HOME TEAM SHOWS CLASS

The New Providence basket ball
team went down to defeat in their
game with the local team Saturday
night at the armory in the first
contest played by the home boys
this season. The session was fast
and furious from start to finish. The
score board at the end OF the game
read AZ to % in favor of Webster
City. Quite q large crowd Of spec
tators WERE present and watched
the locals defeat their opponents.
The home team seemed to gain
strength after playing a few min
utes and in the second half dis
played some team work that was
surprising. inasmuch as this Is their
first attempt this year. The game
was begun about eight o'clock. In
the first few minutes of play France,
one Of the locals players, threw two
pretty baskets that started the en-
thusiasm of the home team follow
ers. However, the left forward,
Hinshaw, of the visitors, was not to
be out done by him and he also
managed to place the ball in the
basket three times in the frst eight
tminutes Of, play. Hinshaw did some
remarkAbIe work and IL a whole
team in himself. He was the only
one Of the visitors to display any
thing like mid-season form. For the
locals every man on the team ap-
peared to be at his very best for the
first game. Talcott, who played In
the first half, managed to maintain
his place In basket ball, as well as
football. He is credited in the first
half with two goals that were very
difficult. His place was taken In
the second half by Dodge. This
change made but little difference.
as Dodge also seemed to be IN his
best forrn. His work in the last half
was little short of wonderful. Sew
eral times he was the cause OF much
cheering in some Of his long but
successful chances. France Is cred
tied with starting the game In the
proper spirit, with his two baskets
in the first half and one In the Sec
ond. In Mckee the locals have a
guard in whom they may place ev-
cry confidence. He could be seen In
almost every place at different times
with disastrous effect on the team
work Of the visitors. Berggren also
did his share OF the work, as Is ex-
pected Of him in every department
OF athletics in the high school. Some
Of his baskets were from the most
difficult positions and seemed almost
impossible.
The other member OF the team,
Meller, though this is his first year
Of basket ball, worked In a way
that promises much for the team.
His work in the first game is proof
Of the ability Of Coach Meyer. The
line up Of Saturdays game follows:
