ALMOST A PANIC IN GERMANY
Rush on the Berlin Bourse to Get Rid
of Securities Held.
RUN MADE ON THE SAVINGS BANKS
II Public Feeling Continues 10 Rise
Government May Issue state
ment Regarding Moroccan
situation
situation.

BERLIN, Sept. 9-The financial world
today experienced the worst day since the
beginning of the Moroccan crisis. 1t was
darker than any during the American
panic of 1907.
Although there were no developments to
justify it, a feeling approaching panic was
widely evident throughout Germany.
Newspaper offices were repeatedly queried
as to whether II was true that the mobili-
cation of the German army already had
been ordered. A storm OF selling orders
burst on the bourse Further savings bank
runs were developed at Cologne, Essen,
Aix-Les- -Chapelle and other places, even
including a Berlin suburba
The break in the American market, the
bad crop situation and the expectation
that the high cost of living would lead to
labor troubles all contributed to the sharp
decline in prices on the bourse. Iron and
Electric shares declined from 4 to points
and Canadian Pacific lost S
II public feeling rises the government
probably will be forced to issue an official
statement regarding the Moroccan situa-
ton. though It is feared that this will in
fluence the negotiations in an unfavorable
manner.
France Prepares for Emergency.
PARIS, Sept 9.-The text of Germany s
reply to Frances proposals. offered with
view to settling the Moroccan dispute,
only reached the French ambassador at
Berlin, NJ Cambon, last evening.
No reliable information is available in
Paris concerning the details Of Germany s
reply, but the general impression here is
that much further negotiations will be
necessary before the Moroccan question is
reached
France appears to be slowly transferring
her troops to points closer to the north
eastern frontier as an ordinary military
precaution, which it would be erroneous TO
infer means the expectation of war The
movement means, in the opinion OF per-
sons we'll informed regarding the situation,
only the heightening Of Frances prepared
ness for a deplorable contingency and a
reply TO the considerable military activity
beyond the Rhine.

Selden- -Breck Construction
Company.

Score of witnesses Agree on Details
of Accident on WOOdmen of
world BuiIdiRs--"GOd OnIy
Knows the Cause"

Responsibility for the death of E E.
Kirkpatrick who accidentally was killed
Friday evening while working on the
woodmen of the World building, was
placed upon the slden-Breck Construction
company of St Louis by the coroners In
quest jury yesterday afternoon.
After celebrating half an hour the jury
decided that because of the faulty cor
struction of the boom or arm of the crane,
which crumpled when a comparatively
light load was being lifted, the Selden
Breck company being the general con-
tractor, was responsible. The verdict was:
''Wes the coroners jury, find that E e.
kirkpatrick came to his death as the re-
suit of the collopse of the boom on the
lifting crane, which. occurred September Z,
1911, between the hours OF $50 and o'clock
on the woodmen Of the World building on
the southeast corner of Farnam and Four
teenth streets of Omaha Douglas county
dying in the Omaha General hospital at
$50 p, m. of the said day.
I'VE further find that the Selden-Breck
Construction company was TO blame for
said accident on account of faulty con-
struction Of the boom.

WILLIAM SHEPPARD,
JOHN FLYNN,
m. E. Sullivan,
''E NJ ROBINSON,
''E. A DAVIS"
Taking of evidence occupied several
hours Nearly a SCORE Of witnesses were
examined. Almost everyone agreed upon
the details Of the aeeident but the owner
ship Of the crane could not be ascertained-
j. N. Mcdonald. superintendent OF the
Selden-Breck company, said the crane had
lifted loads during the afternoon more
than twice the weight OF the engine with
which the boom to buckled
James Brandon Of Council Bluffs, who
operated the engine which moved the
crane, said that just before the accident
he had been removed to another Job but
that he, too. had seen the same boom
support the weight OF loads many times
as heavy as the engine. When asked what
in his opinion, caused the accident he re-
pied, ITS a hard question to answer In
my opinion God and the derrick know Just
what did cause It,"
