Dismasted Schooner Is
ToWed to Boston Harbor

BOSTON, July S0.-Partially dismast-
ed and waterlogged. the schooner N.
E. Aver, from whose deck the wife and
baby of Captain Mazerill were taken
safely by the steamer Bunker Hill at
sunrise yesterday morning, about three
miles off Highland Light, arrived safe
ly in Boston early this morning In
tow of the revenue cutter Gresham.
The Aver was bound from Bangor to
New York when she was overtaken by
northeast wind off Cape Cod. Dur
ing the height of the storm the schoo-
ner's mainmast snapped and went by
the board. The vessel began to wallow
in the heavy seas. Her seams were
opened. The big cargo of lumber alone
kept her afioat. Then began a battle
with the seas that kept all on board
at high tension except Albert, the four
teen-months-old son of Captain and
Mrs. Mazerill. He slept peacefully
throughout the night and never awoke
until safe on the Bunker Hill.
Mrs. MaZerill was lashed to the top
of the cabin house with her baby IN
her arms while the decks were swept
by the huge waves. The captain and
crew worked frantically at the anchors
and finally got them overheard.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning
the Bunker Hill came abreast of the
Aver on her run from New York. 4
boat from the Aver brought Mrs. Ma
zerill from the Aver to the Bunker Hill
They were Immediately wrapped in
blankets and, upon their arrival in
Boston, were safely housed in hotel.

Senate Dodges Direct
Election of Senators

The issue of popular election of
Senators will come up to trouble the
regular session of Congress next winter.
Final consideration Of the direct cleo
tions amendment to the Constitution
probably will have to wait until the
regular session. which meets IN Decem-
Der. The Bristow amendment, which
provides for Federal control Of elections,
Is the source of trouble. The conferees,
after three spirited meetings. have
been unable to agree. At the same
time, no disagreement will be reported
at this time.
The Brfstow amendment was adopted
in the first place only by the vote of
the Vice President. and IL the matter
were referred back to the Senate again
it might BE- knocked out. The Senate
has enough trouble on its hands just
now. and action on direct elections
would complicate matters and delay ad-
journment. 49,
Various compromise propositions are
made and a way out of the trouble may
he found eventually. One Is for two
amendments to the Constitution instead
of one. One amendment would provide
for direct elections. The other would be
for state control of Senatorial elections.
Another meeting of the conferees will
he held this week, and the compromise
will he talked over, but 1t is generally
eynectad that no agreement can be
reached until next winter.

BRITISH SENTIMENT AND THE
MOROCCO AFFAIR.

England, though not directly party
to the Morocco imbroglio, may yet be
the aggressor in forcing a situation in
volving possibilities of war.
The lion is a canny brute. He knows
that soon or late he must try conclu'
sions with the Germans, and he would
vastly prefer to do that in circum.
stances which would assure that France
would be his active ally. The sooner
war comes, if it must come, the better
for the Britishers, because this thing
of maintaining the present relation be,
tween English and German navies is
getting tiresome. A war would make
it possible to put the German navy
out of busienss, and that would open
the way to d cessation of the tire.
mendous expense of high-pressure con.
struction.
Therefore, British sentiment is found
to include an important section that
would be rather pleased to have war
over Morocco. The foreign offices at
Berlin and Paris both appear much
more cheerful over the outlook than
does that at London. A war, likely to
be short and successful, that would re-
duce Germany to the status of a non
contender in the naval race, would be
about the most popular enterprise in
which a British government could en-
gage. Mr.. Lloyd George, who is man
of peace going about constantly with
a chip on his shoulder, and most of the
time in a fight, seems to have keen per-
ception of the political possibilities
With him, of course, war would be only
an incident, a means to an end, and
that end is the opportunity to carry
out his great social reform campaign.
Nothing would help him so much as to
have the European situation clarified,
and Britain's security guaranteed, by
fighting and winning the inevitable
war with Germany.
Perhaps, however, it is not inevitable.
The cheerful backdown at Berlin sug-
gests as much. Germany comes out OF
the Agadir affair shorn of vast pres
tige, at least, confronted with strong
er Anglo-French alliance than ever
But perhaps it is better to lose prestige
than to lose a whole navy.

Two Brothers Injured
When Motor Hits Pole

TOLEDO, July SO.-Elmer and Frank
Price, brothers. residing near Carey,
are at Providence Hospital suffering
from internal injuries that may prove
fatal. and Joseph Gaines, Frank Rout-
zan, and Russell Adelspurger, also of
Carey, are victims of cuts and bruises
received early today when an automo-
bile in which they were coming to
Sandusky from Carey. skdded, and,
getting beyond the control Of the driver,
turned turtle on the country pike.
Elmer Price was dashed into a teIe-
phone pole. The machine was wrecked.
The automobile was going at the rate
of twenty miles an hour, it is said. A
team driven by farmer had part of the
roadway. Price, without reducing the
speed OF the automobile, attempted to
turn out. The front wheels of the ma
chine shot over a two-foot embankment,
hitting the pole with such force that 1t
was cracked half way up to the top.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
WOOL REVISION BILL.

1t is difficult to believe President
Taft will veto the wool revision bill
unless he is obligated by pledge to do
SO. There is insistent report that he
gave such a pledge to certain stand
patters in consideration of their sup
port of the Canadian reciprocity meas
ure, notably to Senator Penrose.
Mr.. Penrose was in position to exact
terms, because he was chairman of the
Committee on Finance. Expected to be
leading opponent of the Canadian
agreement, Mr.. Penrose surprised the
country with the announcement that
he was in favor of the measure and
would use his influence to get it re-
ported from the committee.
If it be true that a quid> >pro quo
was exacted in this connection, and
that the President gave assurance that
he would sign no further tariff legisla-
tion at this session, the standpat Re
pubGcans can well rest comfortable,
despite the imminent probability that
the whole tariff question may be
opened up, and that free list, cotton,
iron and steel, sugar, and otheN meas
ures may follow the wool bill They
are not much concerned about the pres
ent political situation, which would be
rendered at least decidedly difficult if
he should veto these measures.
On the other hand, the story of a
pledge to the ultra standpatters is
calculated to give strength to the ALI
ance of Democrats and insurgent Re-
publicans. Both are animated by COM
mon purpose to embarrass the Presi-
dent, and both will readily see the
possibilities in this situation.
Viewed in the light of any such
agreement as is now alleged, the rec
iprocitv measure becomes less defensi-
BILE than ever The best argument that
has ever been possible in its favor is
that of the entering wedge. "Give us
this start and we will soon go on down
through the schedules" was the assur-
ance INDUCED by those sincere revision
lists who pleaded in behalf of the rec
iprocity bill. Plainly these gentlemen
were not in the councils which brought
about an agreement that further tariff
legislation was to be vetoed. The
farmer had his protection taken away
with the understanding that he would
get the benefit of early revision of
other schedules. If the Executive veto
is to be interposed against that, the
farmer will feel still less kindly toward
reciprocity, and the revolt against the
President in the agricultural States
will be more serious than it is today.
As to the wool and cotton and sugar
schedules, the excuse of waiting for
the tariff commission is a poor one.
There is no real difference of opinion
about the need for revision at these
points, and the tariff commissions IL
Elimination will not greatly add to the
conviction or increase the capacity for
dealing with details.
The Presidents reciprocity campaign
has not been calculated to strengthen
him with the country. 1t will weaken
him vastly more if it shall prove that
in order to get reciprocity that no.
body wanted he threw away the chance
to get a revision that the country de-
cidedly did want.

there was nothing left for France to do
but take hold Of the situation as It ex-
listed and quell the disturbance. The
Sultan was besieged in his capital in
March by the tribesmen, and the lives
of all foreigners were in danger
France dispatched a flying column to
the relief Of Fee from the post of Rabat
The Sultan's troops in Fez were under
command Of the French general, Man.
gin. Maj. Bremond, in command Of 25.-
600 Moorish troops, fought his way from
Tangters to Fee. He arrived at Fez be-
for the flying column under General
Moinier. Mulai el Zin, who had been
proclaimed Sultan by the tirbesmen,
surrendered to Gen Moinier and was
granted a parole on his representation
that he had been forced into the posi-
ton by his followers. The French had
restored order in Morocco.
Germany Then
Becomes Alarmed.
Then Germany becomes alarmed at
the dominant influence which she thinks
France has attained in Morocco and
fears that IT will lead to the acquisi-
ton Of further territory by France. She
does not make any diplomatic represen-
tations to that effect, but she sends a
warship to Agadir and then proclaims
her fears to the world. 1t is unofficial
ly stated that Germany will abandon
all claims in Morocco II France will
cede her part of the coast Of French
Congo, including the town of LibrevtIle
This rumor has never been verified,
however.
1t is clear that Germany 3 deter
mined to force another conference of
the European powers on the Moroccan
question, and make new demands. This
will bring face to face two groups of
nations, each group acting as one. One
group, welded together for mutual in
terests in what is known as the triple
alliance consists Of Germany, Austri-
Hungary, and Italy.
The other group, welded together in
an "entente cordiale'' consists of
France, Great Britain, and Russia. The
entente cordiale" IS simply a mutual
understanding concerning affairs in
Europe, but II is considered fully as
binding as the alliance" although the
letter calls for actual physical support
in case any of the contracting parties
should need it IN certain stated emer-
gencies.
Where Spain comes In is uncertain,
land, although her activity In Morocco
has been considered unwarranted and
In violation of the Algeciras conference
by France. On the other hand, the
activity and influence of France in
Morocco has aroused strong national
feeling in Spain.
The combined naval strength Of Eng
land, France, and Russia is more than
double that of the triple alliance in
tonnage and nearly three times as
great In officers and men.

The war cloud OF the world is now
lowering over Morocco and the peace
of Europe is threatened by the condi-
tion of affairs in the Sultanate on the
northwestern coast of Africa, opposite
Gibraltar. In point Of fact 1t is moth
ing new for Morocco to be in the lime
light, and 1t is not so many years ago
when 1t looked as If the United States
might have to send an army there to
punish the famous bandit, Raisuli. who
captured a citizen OF the United States
and held him for ransom.
But that was only a bubble compared
with the present situation in which
France. Germany. England. and Spain
are involved. and from which all sorts
of international complications are apt
to arise.
The Moroccan question might have
been settled years ago in a manner sat
isfactSry to England. France. and Spain
the three nations whose material in
terests are closest to Morocco-had Il
not been that the German Emperor at
a critical moment landed from a war
ship at the port of Tangier and in a
dramatic way announced in a speech
that Germany had interests in Morocco
announcing that the Sultan of Morocco
could rely on Germany for protection.
New Sultan on
Moroccan Throne
That was on March 81. 1906. when Alb
dul Aziz waS Sultan. Since then Abdul
has been dethroned and an older brother
is on the uncertain throne-Mulai Hafid.
The royal<house of Morocco is descend
ed from Ali. son-in-law of Mahomet, the
Prophet, and this fact is of some mo-
Il is fact which has always given the
great powers some concern.
The result Of she Kaisers visit to
Tangier was an international confer
ence at Alseciras a few months later.
at which the stat9s of Morocco in the
affairs Of the world was outlined and
the interests and influences Of the diff
ferent powers in Morocco and in the
internal affairs of the country were
clearly defined.
The important thing was that the
Kaiser had bluffed France and England
into recognizing Germany as a factor
Fin Moroccan affairs. although at the
time the commercial interests of Ger
many we're very slight ir Morocco, nor
have they grown to any very great ex-
tent since then. But that Is only OF
minor consequence to Germany, al
though It was the excuse she gave for
her action at the time; the real object
was that Germany was determined to
butt into the affairs of Morocco and
block If possible the further growth of
French territory In northern Africa and
British commercial influence in Morocco.

that conference France was given po-

France Made
The Protector.
France, however, was given far the
largest contract by the Algeciras con-
ference 1t meant that France must
protect all foreign interests in one of
the most turbulent nations in the world.
in which tribal chiefs and governors of
provinces are all powerful and ever
ready to plunder each other.
The traditional policy of Morocco has
been one Of isolation from the world.
The natives are fanaticaI Mohammed-
ans. They detest Christians and merely
tolerate Jews. All Christians were
slaves in Morocco UP to 1914, and piracy
was not abandoned until 1877. The ex-
port of cereals and many other articles
have always been prohibited.
The area Of the country is $40
square piles-nearly as large as New
Ohio, Indiana, and New Jersey. The
population is estimated at 5000. 900, and
the largest city is Fez-the capital-with
10000 people. The City of Morocco
comes next. with $1,000; TangierS.
$1,000; and Mequinez, $500.
Object to
Christian Influence.
The internal trouble. or rebellion,
which has led to the present condition
of affairs in Morocco, began in Mequinez
about five years ago. after Mulai Hafid
had defeated his brother, Sultan Abdul
Aziz, and was proclaimed Sultan. Mulai
Hafid had been governor OF the province
of Mequinez, and the people of that
province especially resented the domina-
ton of Christian influence in the affairs
of the government.
The hatred of the people was espe-
cially aroused against France, and they
expected the new sultan to at once pro-
claim a holy war and drive out all of
the Christians This Sultan Hafd did
not choose to do, however, and the
Berber tribesmen revolted against his
government.
The French were responsible for the
safety Of foreigners in Morocco and
