Not WHAT IT PRETENDS TO BIZ.
Six Republican members Of the Sen
ute Judiciary Committee have submitted
a minority report on the House resOlu-
ton proposing an amendment TO the
Constitution to bring about the direct
election Of Senators. Three of them
have no objection to the amendment in
so far as IL accomplishes what it pur-
ports to accomplish change from the
indirect 10 the direct method Of election
but all are strongly opposed to what
il seeks to do incidentally. namely. TO
revoke in part the power which Con-
gress now possesses Of controlling the
processes by which federal legislators
are chosen
The Signers Of the minority report say
trlIy that there has been no popular
demand for n partial surrender of the
federal governments right Of super
vision. Indeed. until last winter il was
not known that any such attack on fed
eral sovereignty was contemplated either

certainly. that's what we are here FOR.
From one point Of view. it is good
news which comes from Fez. that the
French forces under General Moinier en-
tered that city on Sunday evening and
found all the European residents safe
From another point of view 1t Is likely
to prove embarrassing TO France, for it
means that she has taken up another
white mans burden which II will not
be easy to lay down. Difficult as was the
task of occupying Fee. IT will be far
more difficult to withdraw from that
place: for the very considerations of
humanity and civilization which pre-
scribed the Intervention will imperatvely
prescribe continued occupation. at least
until there is a satisfactory assurance
of order and peace in Morocco. And
such an assurance will be most difficult
to obtain. save through indefinite con-
tinuance of the occupation. Yet there Is
unfortunately little doubt that such
course would provoke criticisms and
diplomatic protests and complications
That. however. is bridge which will be
crossed in some way when 1t is reached.
For the present there must be hearty
satisfaction at the avoidance Of whole
sale massacre and of serious fighting on
the way to Fee.

Attorney Saye Recent Action of South ern Growers Was Not Senti-

New York-The central bureau for the yalidation of cotton bills of lad ing. resently established in this city for the prevention of frauds in con nection with forged bills, will not be abandoned, despite the recent rejec- tion of the plan by a conference of shippers in New Orleans
 Charles s. Haight, attorney for the committee of Liverpool buyers, on his return from New Orleans, said that the action of the New Orleans meet ing did not fairly reflect the opinion of Southern shippers.
 The answers received from ship pers in reply to letters sent out to them explaining the new rules and the advantages to be obtained therefrom, , said Mir. Haight, shows an over whelming majority in favor of CO., operation.
 Tn contrast to the attitude taken by the Liverpool committee plan, men representing less than a dozen of the many hundreds of shipping points in the many cotton states, who assemb- led in New Orleans for the avowed purpose of opposing reform, have undertaken to say that. if they can help 1t, they will not allow shippers to cooperate whether they desire to do so or not That sounds somewhat like dictating"

MILLIONS MORE
 IN ASSESSMENTS
Tax Commission Reports Many Millions Increase in Prop

IRON MOUNTAIN HARD HIT
On Nearly All Public Service Corporations.

From approximate estimates made by the State Tax Commission. the total assessments of railroads, pipe lines. telephone and telegraph lines, etc, this year will reach 10000 ,000, and may go as high as $S2 ,000 ,000, as against $70,000,000 last year, or certain increase of $l0,000,000, and a probable increase of l2,000,000 over the assessment of these utilities a year ago.
 We can not tell exactly what the total assessment will be-" yaid Com missioner Gates, because the totals have not all been footed up as to the railroads, nor have all the telephone lines yet been assessed. But it is certain that the total assessment will reach sSO.000. .00O."
 Several of the railroads have been given substantial increase. the Iron Mountain being raised at least $5,000.- Goo over it's assessment of last year.
 We found the telephone properties very poorly assessed said Mir. Gates. and one of the most important steps in equalization taken by the commits sion this year will probably be the results obtained in the case of tele- phone companies. The total assess ment on telephone properties will be nearly double that of year ago and will reach $2,OO0,o00 or s2,500,0 900 for the entire state
 Pipe line companies have also been assessed this year by the commission, and total assessment on these prop critics will exceed sl,0O0,0O0. There are four lines in the state that come under the jurisdiction of the tax com- mission z

CONFESSION IF
 ANNIE CRAWFORD
New Orleans Woman Held as Modern Borgia-- Was lnsur-
 ance Beneficiary.
GIRL VICTIM OF DRUG HABIT
Several Members of Family Hao. Died Recently Under Pecu.
 liar Circumstances.

New Orleans.-In the arrest here of Annie Crawford, an alleged drug flend, on the charge of poisoning her younger sister, Elsie, pretty young stenographer, the police took their first step in an avowed effort to reveal the woman as an modern Lucretia Borgia.
 Ihree other members of the Craw- lord family have died under mvste- rlous circumstances within the past b months, and Annie Crawford is said to have been the beneficiary named in the insurance policy on the life of each.
 Eisle Crawford died suddenly under circumstances so suspicious that the coroner had the contents of the stom- ach analysed by an expert chemist. The finding of traces of morphine was followed by the arrest of the sis ter. The authorities indicated that the bodies of the three other mem bers of the family would be exhumed for similar examination.
 Miss Crawford admitted under fire to the district attorney that she did give her sister Elsie morphine. but did 1t by mistake, as she intended to give her calomel and soda; that she stole the morphine from the Presbyterian hospital, and after giv- ing portion to her sister had about two dozen tablets left, which she threw away.
 She said she was afraid to call in the doctor after she discovered her mistake. She admitted also that she and her sister did not get along well together, not speaking for weeks at a time; that she did not like her sis ter. as Elsie had not treated her right"
 Her confession was written out and signed by the prisoner. . It followed a period of constant grlling and questioning by the police.
 Nothing was said in the confession concerning the death of the mother and father and another sister.
