FRANCE GETS REPLY
IN MOROCCO MATTER
Statesmen Fear Germany Was
Offered More Than Public
Opinion Will Approve.

BERLIN. September 1s-Foreign Min
lister Won kiderlen- Waechter received the
French ambassador. NJ. Cambon, at the
foreign Office this afternoon, and present
ed to him Germany's answer to the latest
proposals of France relative to the Moroc-
can dispute.
PARIS, September 1S.-The negotiations
with Germany are entering a decisive
stage and the feeling among French
statesmen appears to b. that they have
offered Germany more than the public
opinion Of their country will approve after
the present strain has relaxed.
Rich Territory Offered.
They have offered in compensation to
Germany territories in the French Kongo
operating. and upon which France has
expended s10.O0O,0OO in ten years. An ex-
animation Of the terms after the agree
ment has been concluded must show such
q degree OF German remuneration in
Morocco as will justify the cabinet in
Offering to cede 10000 square miles or so
of the richest part of the French kOngO
Otherwise, the agreement will be over
thrown by the chamber of deputies.
The French ministry probably will find
it impossible in any essential particular
to go further than it has.
There is almost d feeling of regret
among the French people now that the
cabinet has gone so far as it apparently
has gone.

SHAKERS MAY 90 FREE.
Not Likely to Suffer for Giving Dy.
ing Woman Chloroform.

KISSIMMEE. Fla. September 1s-The
coroner's inquest over the body of Sister
Sadie L. Marchant, the member of the
Shaker colony who was treated to eu-
thanasia by Sister Elizabeth Sears and
Brother Egbert Gillette, will be held to-
morrow. and 1t is declared the inquest
probably will do away with the necessity
for an investigation by a grand jury
At her urgent request Sister Sadie, who
was in the last stages of tuberculosis
was given chloroform by her fellow
Shakers. There is no statute against at
tempts at suicide in this state, and 1t is
believed this will enter largely into the
question whether the Shakers have been
guilty of any criminal act.
1t is contended in favor Of the Shakers
that Sister Sadie could not have lived
more than week longer, and with un-
interrupted suffering. when she asked to
be given an easy death by chloroform.
These facts also were determined at the
autopsy over the body just completed.
Public sentiment is that both defendants
will be freed.

"Foreigners have not been molested and
are being treated civilly. There has been
no fighting within the city since Septem-
ber I, but there have been several engage
ments outside the walls. the insurgents
losing considerably and the loyal troops
inconsiderably."
Apparently the proclamation issued by
Gen. Chao- Erh-Feng has not been heed
ed. Dispatches to the French and Ger
man legations from Chengtu dated re-
spectively September 10 and September
II indicated that the commander of the
troops at the capital of Szechuan had
attempted to conciliate the besieging

MIDDLEToWN, N. T.. September 49,
In attempting to resume his fight to the
Pacific coast this morning Calbraith p
Rodgers. who started from Sheepshead
Bay yesterday afternoon, crashed into q
tree and fell with his aeroplane thirty
five feet to the ground. The airman re-
ceived scalp wounds, not serious. but his
machine was wrecked to such a. degree
that he probably will be unable to fly
until tomorrow
Rodgers stuck to his seat during the
plunge, but was thrown out when the
machine hit the ground and, caught under
one of the wings, just escaped being
crushed to death by the heavy engine.
Counts on a Days Delay.
At first 1t was thought that he was
badly hurt. but after physician had
dressed his wounds he went back to the
scene Of the accident and worked with his
helpers ascertaining the amount of the
damage. After the first inspection he
said that if the engine could be repaired
the other broken parts could be supplied
from duplicates in his special train. Ii
obliged to send back to New York for an
other engine he did not know how long
he might be delayed. In any event, he
had no expectation of getting away again
before tomorrow morning.
The transcontinental racer arose be
fore daylight today, intending, If pos
sible. to create new distance record
for one days flight. He left the ground
at 6:15 o'clock. Although there was
little wind, he failed to get good
start, and nearly struck the four-foot
stone wall surrounding the pleasure
grounds from where he took off. Then
at height of twenty feet one of his
planes struck the limb of willow
tree This threw him out of his
course, and he crashed full speed into
a big hickory just beyond.
Engine Partly Buried.
The branches of the tree partly broke
the force of his fall, but the machine
came down so hard head-on that the
engine was partly buried in the soft
ground. Rodgers was pulled out from
under his plane still smoking a cigar
he lit just before the start He was
assisted to his special train, which
stood waiting nearby with steam up
ready to accompany him on today's
journey over the Erie railroad.
Rodgers landed here at 6:18 o'clock
last evening. after making his first
days flight from Sheepshead Bay,
about eighty miles, in one hour and
fifty-three minutes If all went we'll

DETROIT Mich, Sept. 1s-President
Taft at luncheon with the board Of
commerce here today made the first Of
what may be termed the political
speeches of his six-week tour Of the
country.
He took UP the trusts" and clearly
outlined his views concerning them.
He defended with vigor the decisions OF
the United States Supreme Court In the
Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases.
+. and there was distinct campaign note
in Mr. Taft's challenge to his ancient po-
litical enemy, William Jennings Bryan. to
point out what particular contract or
restraint of trade he would condemn
which would not be condemned within
the definition of the statute as laid down
by Mr.. Chief Justice White.
Not Fair to Courts.
Mr. Taft added rather significantly that
persons who do not understand the de-
cisions and really do not understand the
law, have had a great deal to say about
them. 1t was not fair to the court. he
declared, to say that 1T had read the word
reasonable" into the antitrust statute.
Il am entirely opposed to an amend
ment of the antitrust law" said the
President. 1T is now valuable govern
ment asset and instrument. Tested and
brought into beneficial use by twenty
the highest court, why should We imperil
it's usefulness by eXperimentS!

Demand for Amendments.

The outcry for amendments, following
the Supreme Courts decisions. the Presi-
dent said. had resulted in proposals pre-
pared without a real understanding of the
law and he added that while this agita-
tion might serve the purpose Of promot-
ing unreasonable and unrea soning dis
content, it certainly ought not to be con-
sidered seriously
Mr.. Taft referred to the fact that i'm
mediately after the trust decisions were
handed down by the Supreme Court
Senator La Toilette spread on the public
records a quotation from one of the
Presidents messages as being at vari-
ance with the rule Of reason law as
laid down by the court. The President
asserted that his views as expressed in
the message were in exact accord with
the decisions
