French Officers and Citi-
zens Die in Moorish
Outbreak.
SLAUGHTER THE JEWS
Mutinous Mob Murders, PilIages
and BurnS-Premier Poin-
care Orders Inquiry.

Paris, April 23.-The massacre at
Fee, in which a number of French Of
ficers, soldiers and citizens were killed
and wounded, has given rise to con-
siderable criticism of government au-
thorities for not forseeing and prevent
ing the occurrence. Premier Poin-
caire telegraphed the French minister
to make a complete investigation of
the outbreak
There were scenes of awful horror
in the Jewish quarter of the city,
where the mob murdered, pillaged and
burned all Jews found.
FALL At THEIR POSTS.
The complete story of the death OF
the telegraphers is a narrative of COOL
ness and bravery and newspapers are
comparing their devotion to duty with
that of the wireless operators on the
Titanic. Although they possessed on
| ly one revolver between them, they
kept the mob at bay for a considera-
BILE time, killing 16. All the time one
or the other of them was sending off
dispatches to headquarters at Tangier
telling of the plight OF the city.
NEWS is DELAYED.
Fez, Thursday, April lS.-Delayed)
The revolt of the populace and the
Moorish soldiery began at midday yes
terday, after a delegation of native
troops bad obtained admission to the
palace and complained to the sultan
of the new military regulations in con-
pneetioH with the French protectorate
AS the military delegation came out
nom the palace the soldiers composing
it seized and killed French captain.
This was the signal for general pillage
and massacre throughout the city.
The native soldiers, pushed on by
shrieking Moorish women, rushed
through the streets of the city Staying
all the French they could find and in
citing the population to violence by the
false cry of "the sultan is a prisoner
of the French and must be liberated"
KILL TELEGRAPHERs AT KEYS.
The French telegraphers were at
> tackled by bowling crowd and made a
heroic stand, defending their Office for
four hours, in the meantime sending
messages to headquarters at Tangier.
Finally the Office was broken into, the
telegraphers killed, and their bodies
mutilated and burned.
The heads of all the Europeans slain
by the native troops were paraded
through the streets on pixies.
: The French legation sent out relief
squads of troops and brought in many
foreigners, and afterwards the French
: artillery opened fire on the rebels, who
were grouped in the northern quarter.

Cummins Adherents Believed

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, April %
Whether Senator Cummins' adherents

forces in the republican state conven-

question among the delegates today
The attitude of John II. Briar, the
Cummins Iowa campaign manager,
gave cause for uncertainty, even
among Taft's friends. He claimed TO
be able to control the convention, but
declined to divulge the source of his
support, merely stating there would be
sufficient delegates to turn the conven-
ton to the Iowa senator.
FROM TAFT's SIDE
John T. Adams, the Taft Iowa

event OF a Cummins victory, Senator
Kenyon probably will head the dele

5,ooo, 900 PERSONS fe
Cast VOTES IN THE FALL

That more than fifteen million per-
sons in the United States will record
their votes for president in the cam
paign of the present year is evident
from the official statistics of presi-
dental vote published in the statisti-
cal abstract of the United States,
which has just been issued by the bU
reau of statistics, department OF COM
merce and labor. Prior to 1883 no gov
ernmental off cial record of the votes
cast for president existed, but an act
passed by congress Feb. 3, 1887, made
it the duty of the executive of each
state to report to ths secretary of state
the names of electors and the number
of votes given or cast for each person
voted for, and these reports. made to
the secretary of state in aSS8 and IN
each subsequent presidential election,
form the basis of the official record
of presidential elections in the United
States. This record, which has been
published for several years in the sta
tistical abstract of the United States,
suggests that the total number of votes
cast in the presidential election of this
year will for the first time exceed fif'
teen millions. The total number in
1908 was 14,SS7,0 900; in 1900, 1885,
600; in 1892, 12,O44,OOO and in 1888
IL 1881 900. Dividing the vote thus off,
ciallv recorded into the population
named by official counts or estimates
| for the years in question, this shows
the average population for each vote
cast as follows: In 1908, 5.98 persons
! for each vote cast; in 1904, 60; il
1900, 5.44; in 1896, 80; in 1892, $40
| and in 1888, 5.27. The statements
published in the abstract, show the
vote cast in each state for the various
candidates in each presidential elec
ton from 1888 to 1908, and the elector
al vote by principal political parties
state by state, during the same period
The above statement, showing the
official record of presidential elections
during the last quarter of century
