The announcement created great sur
prise in legal and judicial circles Al
Judge Grosscup has been the leader
on the bench In the middle west since
he was elevated from the district to
the circuit bench In 1899.
Among his notable judicial acts arc
his opinion upon the application to
close up the Worlds Columbian ex-
position on Sundays, and the injunc.
ton issued by him I'm conjunction with
Judge william A. Wood. against Eu-
gene ". Debs and other officers OF the
American Railway union and the sub
sequent proceedings, which included
the imprisonment of Debs. Prob
ably the most notable case. however,
In which he acted was the opinion Oh
the circuit court In setting aside the
S29,0O0,0O0 fine imposed by Judge
Lands on the Standard Oil Co.. which
decision was prepared and read by
Judge Grosscup.
Judge Grosscup, In his oommunica-
ton to his associates, said that ne
had counselled with no one except
himself and the members OF MS ram
lily in reaching the decision and tnat
he expected the surprise that his as-
sociates showed. He said his resigna'
ton was based on the ground that
after the first Of the year, the new
law governing court procedure would
be I'm effect and his work would be en-
tirely changed to an extent that he
would take up line OF work that
would necessarily be involved and
keep him on the bench for years I'M
less he could see his way clear to
turn over the uncompleted work to his
successor.
II do not feel like planting. garden
and then turning IL over TO some one
else. I desire more freedom as citI-
sen and as an Individual" he said In

fined to his judicial decisions. but nas
has extended into HIS private life. of
recent years these attacks nave oeen
growing more bitter. In his note tcil-
ing OF his resignation, there was no
intimation that the agitation against
him had any influence on his decision

tice of law In Chicago.

F|NANC|ERS
THREATEN GERMANY
Say They Will Force Government
Into Virtual Bankruptcy Unless
Moroccan Affair Is Settled.

PARIS, Sept 19.-Unless Germany
settles her difference with France be-
fore 8 o'clock next Tue day night she
will be forced into virtual bank
ruptcy
This was the decision arrived at
during an all night conference be
tween group OF leading French f.
nanciers presided over by Baron
Rothschild, OF Frankfort, acting on
behalf OF the German bankers who
invited him TO Paris to try TO save
them from bankruptcy. The baron
was unable to secure any concessions
except on the understanding that the
German financlers could force the
government to settle the Moroccan
troubles and thus reassure business
everywhere.
German four per cent government
notes TO the extent OF 300,O00,0 900
marks come due next Monday. Most
OF them are held in France. where
they were placed by German banks.
The latter would have to make good,
and as they admit they could not,
they would be forced into bankruptcy
which would involve all Germany III
financial chaos. Because Of this fact
II is now believed here that Germany
will be willing TO accept a compro.
mise proposition soon.
The latest reply from Germany
reached the capital to-day While It's
contents have not been made public
aud will not be the officials say that
its tone Ii conciliatory and they be-
lieve one more exchange of messages
will settle the question.
The general feeling among the
French people that Germany has had
too great concessions given her Is In.
creasing and unless something turns
up to change the temper OF the peo.
pie the life Of the present ministry
Will probably terminate unless the
Moroccan imbroglio is settled.
