Paris, France, Aug 24.-Grave
anxiety Is felt here today over the
dispute between France and Germany
IN connection with the settlement of
the Moroccan situation
There is a strong possibility that
the present French administration
VIII retire from public office, as it
is believed that when its reply to Ger
many is made public, it will cause
bitter public protest on the part
of French citizens.
1t is said that the French officials
state in their reports that France is
determined to firmly stand with Great
Britain and Russia, in regard to
French claims in Morocco, but is will
ing to concede to Germany certain
rights in the Congo Free States in ex-
change for the German consent to
the establishment of French protec-
torate in Morocco.
1t is generally feared that public,
sentiment will be bitterly opposed to
france making any concession what
ever to Germany. in which case the
entire French cabinet would be fore
ed to resign.

TWO COMPANIES
VIE FOR PAVING

At the regular meeting of the city
council last night bids for the paw
ing of Cottonwood and Alta streets
We're opened, read and submitted TO
the street committee. There were
bids from two contracting compan-
les, the Warren Construction COM
pany of Boston, ana Foster q Itsy..-
son of Spokane and from one local
contractor, d \. May.
The bids on Cottonwood street were
made in two forms one providing
Altastreet was paved and providing
1t was not, In either case the inter-
section of Cottonwood and Alta streets
would have to be paved but in the for
mer case it would form a part of Al
ia street and would not be figured in
on Cottonwood street.
The Warren Construction COM
pany's bid on Cottonwood street un-
der the first condition was Sl5.97S.55
and under the latter s17,194.15. Rob-
lnson & Fosters for the same were
Sl3,965 and $14,S65. For the paving
OF Alta street the former company
bid S24. ISS.OS and the latter S22,2S5.
However. the former company's bid
provided for bithulithic. while the
latter's called for bitu-mass, a new
substance Of which little is known
here.
The bid of D. A. May on the per
foot basis was so far greater than
that of the companies that it will not
be considered.
According to Chairman Stroble of
the street committee. report and
will be made next
Wednesday night and at the same
time figures showing under the sue
cessful bid, what the paving of Alta
street will cost each property owner

on to President Taft and a denunci-
alton of the chief executive, as a
Tool of the Trust" is the burden of
a lengthy cablegram which was sent
by William Randolph Hurst, the lead
ing and best known newspaper man
in the entire world today from Paris,
where the American publisher is vis-
iting for a few weeks.
The denunciation was cabled to the
Washington Post, but it is today be-
ing featured by all the Hearst news
papers in the United States, and
places Mr.. Hearst in the ranks of the
unmistakable foes of President Taft.
Il is taken as a declaration of war
fare, that will be waged by the
Hearst papers, on Mr. Taft in the
coming campaign.
Much significance is attached to
the cablegram, inasmuch as Mr..
Hearst. with his string of news Jour-
nails, has until recently given the pres
ident unalloyed support.
In explaining his change of senti-
ment, Mr.. Hearst says that it is due
to the fact that President Taft We
toed tariff bills which the country
needs badly, and the reputation by
the president of his platform pledges
when he signed the outrageous Aid
rich bill revising the tariff upward
