In Southern Morocco and
That is the Reason They
Are Sore Now.

BERLIN, Dec. 2S.-The bitterness
an disappointment of the Pan-Ger-
mans over the failure of Germany to
acquire a part of Southern Morocco
tthe sus territory in the negotiations
with France may find some allevia-
ton in the report Of the scientists OF
the Hamburg on their explorations in
the sus.
! In this repor. laid before the d.
rectors OF the company, it is de-
clared that neither the climate nor
the soil conditions of Southern Mo-
rocco fit 1t for colonization nor even
for agriculture. The existence Of
some beds of iron ore is reported, but
the investigators are not able to say
definitely whether the ore exists in
workable quantities and qualities;
They are of the opinion. however,
that none of HE concesslonaries OF
iron mines in Southern Morocco had
yet discovered deposits OF proftably
workable ore.
The company decided, in view OF
the report, TO make no further efforts
at this time toward the acquisition OF
land in that territory. However, fur
Their Investigations into the metallic
resources of the country Will be made.
Germany now has in operation sew
enteen dirigible balloons, eleven be-
longing TO the army and six to prl-
vate owners Nine others are being
built or rebuilt-and will be in SER
vice by the end Of the year. Many
types are represented, but the Yep
pelin and Parseyal predominant.
France has but ten dirlgibles. Aus
tria-Hungary four, Russia five and
Spain and Italy two each.
In their constant search for means
of increasing the efficiency of army
balloons in time of war the German
military authorities have equipped the
newest Zeppelin army balloon With
an anchor which is expected to make
it possible to land on any ground and.
under any but the most adverse wind !.
conditions. The destruction of the
Zeppelin II. at Weilburg followed the
tearing of the balloon loose from its
mornings. The new anchor has been
tried out in wind of twenty to
worked to perfection.
AT meeting of the Society of Gerr
man Naval Architects new kind of !
screw propeller for ships was de-
scribed. The inventor is DR.. R. wag
ner, the chief engineer of the "vul-
kan Works" of stettin, which has
built most of the fast German ocean
liners. The invention consists of a
second propeller mounted behind the
working propeller, but not self itself
revolving. Its blades are set In the
reverse direction to those of the real
and have the function OF
checking the swirling movement of
the water set in motion by them.
which involves a considerable loss of
power Stated in other words, the
second propeller tends to hold the
water in position so that the revolv-
ing blades of the working propeller
can act upon it with greater force.
Dr. Wagner said that the invention
had been in use for some time on a
of small vessels and that the
experiments had showed that it az
ords an average saving of fifteen per
cent. in power over the old form of
propeller.

Rush Through Fremont.

Fremont Tribune: Five trains were
sent out of Fremont last evening and
three this morning enroute to Dallas
over the Northwestern, all loaded to
the guards with landseekers. In the
last twenty.four hours the Northwest

into service all of the extra equip
ment that was massed at the division
points when the registration opened,
and much of which up to yesterday
lay idle.
More than 1900 people were hauled
out of Fremont to Dallas yesterday,
according to local operating officials.

tions, one of which was made up and
filled here. The business section of
the city was full of landseekers last
evening.
This forenoon passenger train No.

was nearly an hour late in getting out
of Omaha, so great was the confusion
incident to the rush.

CONSERVATION in Capital.

Picking, Oct. 19.-The curt official
announcement this morning that tele-
graphic communication with Hankow
had been interrupted since sunset last
night caused CONSERVATION through
out the capital today. The widest
rumors of reverses to the imperial
arms spread like wild fire, although
no official definite facts to support
them were available. Much signifi.
canoe was attached to the fact that
the government has refrained from is
suing any official announcement of a
victory in yesterdays engagement
with the rebels. Among foreigners
who may be regarded as impartial OBJ.
servers it is generally believed that
the situation at Hankow has not been
appreciably improved by the events
of the last twenty-four hours.
Government officials continue to
profess the utmost optimism.
They declare the severance of the
telegraphic communication for a per-
iod Of only twelve or eighteen hours
over line $50 miles long is no ground
for apprehension. They insist that the
q, 600 troops and seventy guns which
have left Picking for Hankow and
most of which are now enroute, should
be sufficient to swamp any revolu
tionarg attack. Some Of the rumors

Eugene Ely who was killed when
he fell with his aeroplane at Macon,
Ga, this afternoon, is the nephew of
Mrs. Il. r. Gillette, of Norfolk. Ely
is the oldest son of Mrs. Gillette's old
est brother
Ely was only 23 years old, and had
been flying for the past two years
He had exhibited in most every part
of the United States and won many
honors in his spectacular and sensa-
tional aerial exhibitions.
Ely was married and leaves widow
who was only 10 years old. He was
married to Mrs. Ely when she was
only l6 years old
Behind this youthful marriage of
Ely's is romance which began at
San Francisco where, just before the
San Francisco earthquake, Ely was
engaged as a chauffeur. The young
man had a record of working forty
hours without sleep at San Francisco,
and when the quake shook the big city
he was the means which saved the
lllC vi ~ wealthy Dull bihh
er and that of the bankers daughter,
whom he later married.
Elys father is a prominent lawyer
of Davenport, la.
The last | heard of my nephew"
said Mrs. Gillette this afternoon when
informed by The News that Ely had
been killed, was four weeks ago,
when Mrs. w. II. Butterfield informed
me that he was to fly at Columbus,
Wis. He lived with me several years. -
Immediately after hearing of Ely's
death Mrs. Gillette telephoned her
brother at Sioux City, who reports
that Ely visited his father at Daven-
port, Ia, just before he left for Macon,
Ga, a week ago. He had been flying
in New York, ard made this last visit
to his father before the Georgia con
tract was signed.

ARMED POSSE
AFTER MARzYEK
DESPERATE BEING
SOUGHT NEAR THAT TOWN.
WILL BE A BATTLE IF FOUND
Marzyek Had Threatened to Kill a Lot
of His Relatives, and It Is Believed
the Snowman Murders Were but the
Beginning Of His Vengeance.


Ellsworth, Kan, Oct. 19.-Near
Geneseo, Kan, a sherff's posse is
believed today to be close on the trail
of Charles MarZyek, sought in con-
nection with the five Snowman MUIR
ders, which took place here last Mon
day. Fears of mob violence in case
the suspect is apprehended caused
the prosecutor today to order the
sheriff to take the man to another
county for Incarceration.
Ellsworth, Kan, Oct 19-Sam
Snowman, brother of William Show
man, today started with a posse on a
detailed search of the country for
Charles Marzyek, who is believed to
be hiding in the neighborhood. If he
is found battle is expected. MarZyek
not long ago served prison term for
stealing grain from James Nopat. Last
night Vopat, who is the husband of
MarZyek's former wife, saw the eX-
convict in a field near his home.
Vopat and family locked their house
and fled to the home of Slav fellow
countryman five miles away.
All the members of the Slav COM
munity who had any remote connec-
ton with the conviction of Marzyek
went armed today, for he is reported
to have sworn a terrible vengeance on
those responsible for his imprison-
ment. Ira Lord, who defended him in
the wheat stealing case, said today:
Il believe Marzyek will remain in
the neighborhood until he has COM
pleted his vengeance. After his SEN
tence he told me that when he was re-
leased he would come back and kill
the people who were responsible for
his conviction, and also their children.
81 will have them all in hell" he
said.
Evidence furnished by Mr.. and Mrs.
William Snowman is said to have been
largely responsible for Marzyek's con-
viction. Nine persons remain in fear
of his vengeance. These persons, all

AS to a possible connection be-
tween the Ellsworth and other TRACE
dies, Mrs. Vopat said her former hus
band was convicted of forgery in Col
orado Springs few months ago. She
said it was not improbable that he
should be in Monmouth lately. The
same insane cruelty on the part o.
the slayer is evident in the Burnhan
and Wayne tragedies at Colorado
Springs; in the murders of William
E. Dawson, his wife and daughter il
Monmouth, and in the killing OF tn,
Showmans. In each case the muir
derer used an AK on the head of hi
victims.
Marzyek served in the Philippin,

try deserted from the army. He ha,
been in trouble since for forginl
checks and stealing. Until he wen
to the penitentiary he was a constan
fugitive.

TRUNK FULL OF PAPERS.
Documents Expected to Throw Light
on Stephenson Charges.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct ia trunk
filled with papers which are expected
to throw light on the bribery charges
connected with the election of United
States Senator Stephenson, was
brought before the senatorial investi.
CATION committee today.
w. +. Black, an attorney for Sena-
tor Stephenson, explained the trunk
contained documents relative to the
senator's primary campaign in 1908
when he expended 100000. After
the primaries the papers were shipped
from Milwaukee to Marinette, Wis,
and then were sent to Escanaba,
Mich, so that, being out of the state
they were beyond reach of a legisla-
tive committee which had begun to
investigate the senator's campaign
expenses. The papers originally were
taken from the Stephenson headquart-
ers in Milwaukee. Attorney Black
said the trunk had been sent from the
state because Senator Stephenson felt
the legislative committee had no au-
thority to pry into his affairs.
The papers are now in the custody
of the senatorial committee.
More witnesses today told of eX'
pending sums of Senator Stephenson
money.
NJ. C. Ring, OF Neillsville, told OF
receiving $945 which he testified he
had expended lawfully in the sena
tors behalf.
1t probably will be several days be
for the committee resumes the line
of testimony began by Lieut.. Gov
Thomas Morris, who on Tuesday ties
titled he had been informed Edward
Hines, the lumberman, had helped t
elect Senator Stephenson.
