SPANISH |MPER|lED
!. BY ATTACK IN REAR
Anjera Tribesmen Threaten
Army in Morocco After
Recent Retreat.
ny PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, December 15.-An upris-
ing of the Anjera tribesmen behind
the new Spanish positions has oc-
Cured, threatening once more the
whole Spanish army, whose position
was supposed to have been strength
ened by the newly completed retreat
from Chechouan to Tetouan.
This uprising menaces the Te.
touan-Tangiers road and the Te-
touan-Ceuta railway. The roads to
Ceuta and TangIers, along the coast
Of the straits of Gibraltar, are re-
ported to have been cut Oft by ma
tives OF the Alcazar and Seguir
camps, who have attacked, captured
and are holding officers as prisoners
to be used as hostages against air
raids.
The Spanish dictator commanding
the troops in Tetouan has issued q
proclamation threatening the An5era
tribesmen with dire punishments and
praising his soldiers for their bravery
during the retreat.
This enterprise. which you accom-
plished, was far more difficult than
an advance, and required more sacri-
hces of life and better discipline"
his proclamation read. Bravo for the
generals, officers and soldiers"
Meanwhile, Abdei Krim's men have
entered Chechouan. and A5del Krim
has been proclaimed Sultan there.
He has already appointed a governor.
The next aim of the victorious ma
tfves will be to lay siege to. and. IL
possible, capture Tetouan, which they
regard as a holy city. --..-. -

ELklNS' EXECUTORS
LOSE CASE IN COURT
Application to Set Aside Verdict in
$17s,o75 Action Is Denied by
Justice Mccoy.

Chief Justice Mccoy of the Dis
trict Supreme Court today denied an
application of Davis Elkins. Stephen
D. Elkins and the Davis Trust Com
pany, executors of the estate OF
Richard Elkins, son of Stephen E.
Elkins. former Senator from West
Virginia and brother of the present
Senator, to set aside verdict
against the estate for $176,O75 rem
dered last March by a jury in the
circuit Division in favor of the
Equitable Investment Co., Inc, of
this city. The plaintiff company had
acquired note for $150,000 said To
have been given by Richard Elkins
to one John Richmond OF New York,
with whom he had some dealings in
oil. The verdict of the jury was for
the face value of the note plus in
terest.
The note In question was dated
April 10, 1921, and was payable In
Is months. Richard Elkins died Se-
fore its maturity and the executors
attacked the genuineness of the note
and refused payment. The plaintiff
sued and, after an extended trial.
was awarded a verdict. Some ques-
tion arose because the court had
excluded from the consideration or
the jury the second and third counts
of the declaration and submitted 20
them only the irst count. The jury
returned general verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed
Chief Justice Mccoy holds tha. it
Is within the province of ,he court
to correct the verdict SO as TO shaw
that 1t was on the first court only.
The executors are expected TO ap
peal to the Court of Appeals from
the action Of the chief justice.
Attorneys McLanahan & Burton
represented the plaintiffs. while the
executors were represented by At

PATROL COAST FOR SHIPS.
Lake Steamer Believed to Have
Been Broken Up.

HOCGHTON. Mich. December 10
A mile st.etch of coast inc between
Eagle River and Agate Harbor again
was being patroled by Coast Guards
today in an effort to find a clue to
the identity Of the late steamer be-
lieved to have broken up and sunk
in a terrific storm on Lake Superior
saturday Although pieces OF wreck
age have piled up on the beach OF
Neweenaw Peninsula, none of 1t has
carried any marking that would IN
ulcate the identity of the vessel.
Marine men expressed the beiier
that the victim of the storms fury
was a tramp that carried no radio.
Advices from Sault Ste Marie re-
ported that only one vessel mad
passed through the locks there since
Saturday and that vessel was up
bound 1t was the steamer U. j.
Grammer. Her captain reported he
was forced to break five inches of
solid ice In Mud Lake to get through to
this port. Among the vessels known
to have been out in the storm were
the Kamloops, Lethbridge, Midland
King and Midland Prince. They We're
due at Sault Ste. Marie Saturday
night. but the last word received
from them stated they were some
where in Lake Superior"
1t is believed that most of the ves-
sells unaccounted for took refuge on
Isle Royal or behind White Fish
Point.
The Canadian locks at Sault Ste
Marie were closed last night and
nearly all buoys and other aids to
navigation have been withdrawn.
