at the ministry Of war today state
that a French detachment was at
tackled by Moroccan tribesmen near

lost two officers killed and twelve
others killed or wounded.
Debdou, Morocco, where the French
forces are reported to have engaged

of the Algerian frontier.
If the dispatch has been correctly

been from the Atlantic. coast, and the
French government has given the other
powers to understand that no aggres-
slve move would be made in Morocco
from Algeria except under pressure of
the greatest necessity.

to the bandit and snatched the gun
out of his hand, after pinning his arms
TO his side. There being no officer

young Hoeke. who telephoned Sergeant
Meyerowitz said: 81 cannot send any
men up; they are asleep" 81 asked the
sergeant" Hoeke continued what I
should do If the man came back. lie

AS soon as the men in the bakeshop
got time they went out to see If they
could get sight of the man whom
they had beaten up so badly, and they
found trail of blood leading away
from the door for about 200 feet The
books of the Fourth precinct have a
record of the holdup.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Following
charges made by James Creelman,
president of the New York Civil Serv-
Ice Board, the resignation of Police
Commissioner James c. Cropsey is
hourly expected.
Creelman charges that forty-eisht
patrolmen have been appointed Illegal
~, and he gives the names. He says
those men cannot draw their salaries
and that Cropsey cannot certify their
pay-rolls without making himself
amenable to criminal action.
The mayor refused to talk about the
letter, and Cropsey's only reply to it
was: That's what / have been doing
for eight months, and that is all l have
to say. will not discuss it," While
those two officials most directly con-
cerned would not talk the letter itself
carried the official death warrant of
Cropsey. The significant lines in the
letter are:
1T Is within my knowledge that you
officially directed the police commis-
sioner to make appointments for the
police force from the civil service
eligible list in numerical order, even
forbidding the exercise of the usual
discretionary choice of one name out
of three. OF course, I do not in any
way question the motives OF the po-
lice commissioner in doing what he
has done. but call your attention to
the fact that he has not only violated
the law, but has disregarded your
positive instructions"

GAN I CAST VOTE
FOR DIRECTORATE
Decision of N. Y. AttOrney-Gen.
eral in Case of Equi-
table Life.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The State in
surance department today made pub
lie a decision by Attorney-Generll
Carmody declaring that the policy
holders of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society under its present charter
have no right to vote for any of it's
directors. On the strength of this
opinion Superintendent Hotchkss has
returned to the company certificates
of nomination of directors proposed to
be voted on by policy-holders at the
annual meeting in December.
The attorney general holds that an
amendment to the charter of the
Equitable, whereby it was sought to
permit policyholders to elect twenty
Eight of the fifty-two directors, and the
stockholders to choose the rest, is in
valid, since 1t interferes with the rights
of stockholders to vote for all directors
The superintendent of insurance also
directs the company to discontinue the
preparation of lists of policyholders for
use in connection with the proposed
election.

TRENTON May 1S.-With welcome
that sounded true in every particular,
veterans of the Civil War gathered in
Trenton today for the forty-fourth an
nual encampment of the Department OF
New Jersey, G. AR.
The session opening the convention
was held in Masonic Temple and gath
cred there were between 800 and 500
of the now old men who went to the
field of battle at the call of President
Lincoln in 1861, in the struggle be-
tween the North, and South fol
emancipation of the slaves.
This was the first encampment in
Trenton for a number of years, and
in the great crowd of warriors which
gathered today many of the familiar
faces of men prominent in the G. A r.
half dozen years ago were missing,
they having in the meantime responded
to the solemn call of taps.
Remembering her important part in
the military history of the United
States, old Trenton overfiowed with
patriotism. The city of the turning
point of the Revolution and the city
which raised what We're 'among the
first troops of the Civil War was
decked with the national colors from
one end to the other.
: In passing through the streets of this
fdty the veterans walked under what
were practically solid arches of red,
white and blue. Thousands of homes
displayed the flag, and all of the busi-
ness houses in the centre of the city
were decorated with "Old Glory in
flags and in bunting, singing out a
silent story of appreciation of the
battle-scarred warriors who carried
arms that the Union of States might

LATAH COUNTY APPLES
HOLD WORLDS RECORD

The following letter from R. HI. Rice
secretary of the National Apple show
of Spokane, contains so much of in
terest to the general public that we
take the liberty of publishing it. When
we consider that what Mr.. Rice says
about our apples and the loss we are
sustaining because or past indiffer-
ences, there ought to be cause for
serious thinking on the part of our
citizens. The letter in full follows:
Spokane, Wn, Oct. "a, 1911 Mr. P.
L. Orcutt, Editor Star-Mirror, Moscow,
Idaho. Dear Mr.. Orcutt: Since you
were up here several weeks ago we
have had nothing in the shape of in
formation about what Latah or Moscow
propose to do in the matter of ex-
hibits at the National Apple show.
Il note occasionally in your paper
your efforts to induce the business
men and growers to wake up to the i'm
portance of this opportunity, and I
do not know whether you can do
much more than this, but the situation
now confronting us is as follows:
1--WE are receiving actual carload en-
tries and we cannot hold space for any
probable exhibits if in doing so we
shut out growers who are making bon
afide entries. If you have any grow
ers down there who can put in in
dividual carloads they must get their
entries in right away to hold space
You understand, of course, that in
order to compete for prizes a carload
must be grown in one orchard only. |
Several growers cannot combine in
putting in car, unless they put it |
in for exhibition and not for competi- |
ton. If some of your growers wish |
to do this, we will be glad to give you
space, but, as stated before, it could
not compete for prizes.
81 believe there are a number of
growers in Latah county who could
put in carload exhibits Owing to the
shape of our building we cannot allow
over 525 boxes as a carload exhibit
This makes it easier for the exhibitors
md may help out some of those fell
ows who feel they cannot put in $50
ooxes. You may advise them that
,25 will be enough.
"Latah county has the worlds rec
'rd for the best keeping apples, as
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1911-10-26

you are doubtless aware and each sue
put in an exhibit here loses for you
an advertising opportunity that can
not be duplicated. All other sections
which have long keeping apples and
highly colored such as yours, grasp
every opportunity to keep the fact be-
fore the public, while Latah county
with the worlds record on the ap-
pies, shown by Judge Forney for the
past three years, passes up the chance.
AS result, any other section with the
same kind of land as you have is being
sold at prices far beyond anything
realized by you people.
81 mention these things because l
want Latah county properly represent
ed. You should not only have carload
enries, but Latah county should put
in general district display. For this
we could give a space (similar to all
others) 16 feet frontage by feet
depth, and you may put in any num-
Der of variety or varieties, arranged in
boxes, barrels or on shelves and dec
GRATED as you wish. You may dis
tribute literature and, of course, have
a representative in charge to tell of
the resources of your county, etc. To
make such an exhibit it does not re-
quire over so one layer boxes, and
10 init
ed growers who would contribute the
apples if the business men would de-
fray the expense. The expense would
be that of shipping the fruit to Spo-
kane, placing it on exhibition and buy
ing one season ticket for the man in
charge. This later is a requirement |
we make of our exhibitors. 1t costs
S1.50
IF your commercial body will take
lold of this, advise me at once and l
will continue to reserve space for at
east one car, and also for district
display, but we must know right away
What we can expect.
Some of our bankers have been Ia
ting up the situation, and | enclose
herewith a letter from Mr.. Payne of
he First National Bank of Moscow. 1t
nay serve as a little tip on the sit
lation and help you to get started
Yours very truly,
