FEZ WOMEN TORTURE
AMAZONS LEAD IN CARNAGE As
MOORS ATTACK FRENCH.
jewish Quarter Of Capital Is Scene Of
Murder, PiIlase and Torch
Thousands Homeless.

Paris, France, April 26.-The CORE
s%pondents Of the French newspapers
at Fee indicate that the rebels In the
recent uprising plotted to massacre
the whole French mission.
This plan failed owing to the I'M
patience of the Arabian women to be-
gin the carnage. These women are
described as creatures OF terrifying
appearance, who passed their time In
rushing about the streets and tortur-
ing the wounded and sometimes aid
ing the Moorish rebels in the final mu-
tilation and dissertation of the victims.
Scenes Of horror occurred In the
Jewish quarter Of the city, where the
mob murdered, pillaged and burned all
the Jews they could find, throwing
their bodies from the roofsy Many
young girls were carried of to suffer
indescribable outrages. The Jewish
quarter was set on fire and three
fourths of it destroyed, rendering
more than a thousand people home
less.
The story of the death of the teleg-
ruLhers is a narrative of GOODNESS and
bravery and the newspapers r COM
pairing their devotion to duty with
that Of the wireless operators on the
Titanic. Although they possessed
only one revolver between them they
kept the moi at bay for a consider
able time, killing sixteen of the
fanatics. All the time one or another
of them was sending of dispatches to
headquarters at Tangier telling Of the
plight of the city. Finally, however,
the Arabs tore a hole in the roof, In
to which they sent a murderous fire
and flaming torches, which set fire to
the telegraph room.
Three Of the telegraphers fell dead,
the fourth succeeded in escaping.

Tax Ferret Case Settled.

uo~ g
Sioux Palisades Attorney Mar
tin Bergh has received official notice
from the supreme court that the petit
ton for rehearing made by the plant
ifs, Pierson & Savage, in their case
vs.. Minnehaha county, had been de-
MED. This is the famous tax ferret
case, and this decision of the highest
court is the final determination in the
case. 1t will be remembered that
Messrs. Pierson & Savage sued the
county last yea to recover the sum
of $125,OO0 for services in ferreting
out untaxed property in the county.
The supreme court held in it's decision
last January that the county was not
liable for this bill for two reasons
First. because the county commits
sioners had no authority to enter into
the contract in question; second, De-
cause the law of 1905, which provided
for compensation in such case, was IN
constitutional. The plaintiffs applied
for a %rehearing of the cas- in the SUI
preme court some time ago, and the
court has had this petition under con-
sideration for upwards of two months,
with the result above stated.

RAP AT ROOSEVELT
LETTERS FROM COLONEL AND
KNOX SENT TO SENATE.
Ex.Presldent's Letter Concerning Dis
solution of Trust lead: Do Not
File Suit Until Later.

Washington, April 26.-The senate
received on Wednesday, in response to
a resolution, Photographic copies from
the official records OF the department
OF justice and the department OF COM
merce and labor OF correspondence
which refuted certain statements
which Colonel Roosevelt has made In
reply to charges made by Representa-
tive Gardner of Massachusetts,. The
correspondence shows hat Colonel
Roosevelt while president in 1907 d.
rected Attorney General Bonaparte
not to file suit against the Interna-
tional Harvester company until he re-
ceived further instructions from him.
This action was taken by Colonel
Roosevelt after comforting with George
w. Perkins.
The senate adopted early n the day
a resolution offered by Senator John.
son OF Alabama, Democrat, calling for
the correspondence. The attorney
general submitted the Photographic
copies within three hours.
Aside from the instructions from
Colonel Roosevelt, which forbade pros
ecution pending a conference between
Attorney General Bonaparte and Her
bert Knox Smith, chief OF the bureau
OF corporations, and Mr.. Perkins, the
most striking feature OF the CORE
s%pondence is the report subsequently
made to the president by Mr.. Smith.
In 1t, as all through the correspond
ence, emphasis is given to the desire
OF the International Harvester COM
pany to bring itself within the iaw.
