Serious Situation Is
 Developing in Morocco

London. Aug. 1s Pl-A serious situation is developing in Tangier, Morocco, says a dispatch to the Westminster Gazette because of the general discontent of the Spanish and native population with the Tangier administration.
 Another general strike is an- nounced for tomorrow.
 General Primo De Rivera's state ment to the Madrid newspaper A. B. c. that Tangier should be in- cluded in the Spanish zone, has caused a big stir. It is reported, the Westminster Gazette asserts, the Spanish premier has offered to send Spanish troops to occupy Tangier to protect lives and prop erty. The dispatch adds that the general impression among the citi- zens of Tangier, excepting the French, Is that something must be done at once to give the Spaniards an influence in Tangier commen- surate with their numbers.

hibitions shall be forbidden in the
District of Columbia.
Harry Houdini, famous magician,
is leading the fight before the House
District of Columbia Committee TO

committee that at a "seance" with her
Mrs. Jane Coates, local medium,
said that tabletipping seances were
held in the White House and that
Watson and other Senators were
regular consultants of mediums.
A prompt denial came from the
White House of any White House
participation, but so far Watson
hasn't made any denial. Mrs. Coates
also denied that she had made the
White House statement, but didn't
mention the Senators.
Mrs. Coates told the committee on
Thursday that a friend of hers had
asked Watsons aid and advice in
fighting the bill, but didn't say what
the results were.
IIoudini Thursday threw $4,000
in bills upon the table ana said he

why they've picked on Elmer" she
observed. you see he's been out
of work practically since we've been
married. He's a good automobile
mechanic but lacLs the confidence

wondered where we've been getting
money. We can prove that my

of it and intend to pay back every

legged for his money. Well, they
