LACK NEWS OF ATTACK.

The State Department late yester-
day was without any information con-
corning a reported attack on an
American merchant ship by Span
ish submarine. The battleship Okla
homa. which left Gibraltar several
days ago to return to American wat
ters, was said by the Navy Depart
ment to be due at Hampton Roads,
Va, today.
The American heavy cruiser Quincy
and the Coast Guard cutter Cayuga
were believed to be somewhere near
Gibraltar in the Mediterranean area
last night but their exact location
was not Immediately available. These
vessels, along with two American de-
stroyers, were ordered withdrawn from
Spanish waters
The Office of Naval Communica-
tions, which is in direct radio contact
with the Quincy, said the cruiser had
not reported any American warship
going to the assistance of another
vessel. The Quincy is in direct charge
OF operations of the vessels in that
area and normally would be the first
to be advised of any such movement.

BLUM SUMMONS
COLONIAL PARLEY
Heads of Mediterranean

Native Unrest.

PARIS, September 11.-Premier
Leon Blum summoned the admins
traitors of Frances territories along
the Mediterranean Sea into confer
ence today to discuss the danger of
native unrest growing out Of the
Spanish civil war.
The colonial authorities indicated
the government had detected secret
agitation of an undisclosed nature
among the Mohammedans of French
North Africa, movement which they
hoped to nip before it spread.
They suspected the agitation was
carried on by network of native
runners, who nightly gathered to re-
lay news and propaganda by word of
mouth.
The Mediterranean High Commit
tee, including the governor general Of
Algeria and the residents general of
Morocco and Tunisia, was brought to-
gether to discuss the situation for the
first time since early in the year,
when it met to consider possible re-
percussions of Italy's campaign against
Ethiopia.
(French Morocco in particular
would be a danger spot in such a
situation. 1t adjoins the Spanish
Moroccan zone, where the Fascist
army rebellion against Leftist Spain
broke out nine weeks ago tonight.)

Dump Troops Into Toledo.
The government, despite its opera
tions in the north, was reported dump
ing more and more troops into Toledo
Province in an effort to drive the
rebels back toward Extremadura,
Huelva and Seville, further south and
west of the capital.
Newspaper articles, declaring the
government more than ever certain
of defeating the rebellion, said the
rebels would be swept back into some
southern city, there to await the same
fate as the besieged Fascists in the
Toledo Alcazar.
Newspaper reports said the ap-
parent insurgent strategy was to
reach the town of Alcazar de San
Juan in Ciudad Real Province in an
effort to surround Madrid
The plan, they said, would be futile
because it Is already known and
orders have been issued to clear the
way for military operations in Madrid
Province and evacuate the towns Of
San Martin de Valdenglesias and
Naval Carnero.
Huesca, in the northeast, was re-
ported about to surrender. "a few

In the province of Malaga, whose
capital Is still in the governments
hands, military dispatches said loyal
artillery had bombarded rebel posi-
tions in the vicinity of Antequera.
They said government troops cap

prise attack, routing the rebels and in
ficting heavy losses.
In other towns of Malaga Province,
the reports said, farmers peacefully
collected their harvests, although they
carried their rifles and shotguns into
the fields with them.
Government militiamen were report
ed today to have halted the advance
of several rebel columns in the Tala-
vera de Ia Reina sector west of Madrid.
An official announcement declared
the Fascists, led by Gen. Francisco
Franco, commonder in chief Of the
revolution, were forced to stop near

ABOARD KNOX CAMPAIGN
TRAIN, September 11.-Touring the
cattle country in quest of Western
votes, Col. Frank Knox, Republican
vice presidential nominee, swung into
Wyoming today.
The candidate, travelling in a spe-
cial campaign train scheduled to cover
%, 900 miles before election day, headed
into Wyoming at Chadron for a major
address at Casper.
Knox toured South Dakota yester-
day. He made six short talks from the
rear platform of his train and two
major addresses, one in Mitchell and
the other at Rapid City.
Entering the dust bowl" in West
ern South Dakota, Knox assailed pro-
posals to move some farm families,
hard hit by drought, into other areas.
"You aren't quitters," he told rail-
road station crowds. Many of his lis
teners were farmers in overalls.
There are those who will tell you
your soil Is exhausted" he said at
Rapid City. There are those who
want to make Little America out Of
America. I tell you they are wrong.

Knox declared a whispering cam

feet that "relief will be kept down"
If the Landon-Knox ticket wins.
1T Is a monstrous slander on q de-

said. "I'l tell you what will be re-
duced-waste and political use Of re-
lief money. Cut out the waste in Gov

left for relief.

The commonwealth argued that

however.

OUershOes in June Add
To Travellers Jail List.

Appleton-Traveling about the state
with high overshoes for footwear in
June, coupled with nervous disposition
and tendency to pass remarks that
do not always make sense to the lis
tener, is situation that may widely
extend ones acquaintance with jails.
This is particularly true when several
criminally insane individuals are at
large. Stephen Peacock found this out.
A transient, % years old, was picked
up by the Appleton police after several
residents were put on edge because Of
his peculiar attire and strange CONVEX
sation. An examination proved him
mentally normal, or as much so as the
average citizen. An injury in the woods
last winter from which he had never
fully recovered, and lack of more suit
able footwear explained some of his
peculiarities. He stated he was on his
way to Deadwood, S. D., where he has a
wife and family. Before coming to
Appleton he had been picked up in
Minneapolis and detained for examina-
ton and finger printing, under sus-
picion of being one of those who had
escaped from st. Peter. Three hours
after he had been released by Appleton
police, he was in Jail at Dawson and
being put through the mill again.

occurred at the Lakefield corner on U.

kato, where the two men had been at

At the intersection another car, ap-
prosching from the west, left-turned to-
ward the Lake field road squarely in
front OF the Hanson car. Hanson
avoided a collision by checking his
speed quickly and jamming to the left
The combination of the sudden stop
and twist threw Hanson SO hard against
the right hand front door that il
opened and he fell heavily to the high
way. He was hurried to the hospital
where it was found he had several
fractured ribs and head and shoulder
injuries, and he was kept under OBJ
servation for several days for possible
internal injuries.

NeU Capital Stock
Tax Bill NOID LaIU

The new tax bill, signed by the
President, June %, 1896, reduces the
rate of capital stock tax imposed on cor
porationS by the Revenue Act of 1885
from 81 40 to $1O0 for each full $1,000
of the declared value, says j. R. Landy,
collector of Internal Revenue for the
District of Minnesota.
In filing returns for the capital stock
tax year ending June 80, 1886, and
which returns must be filed in his Office
on or before July 81, 1886, corporations
are required to make an original declar-
alton of value for their capital stock
and pay any tax due at the rate of
$1yO0 for each full $1,000 of such de-
clared value. Under the law an en-
tirely new value may be declared for
the capital stock on the 1886 return,
without regard to any declaration of
value made for any previous year.
Mr. Landy further calls attention to
the requirement of the law that every
corporation in existence, and whether
or not actually engaged in business, be-
tween July l, 1885, and June 80, 1896
or any part thereof must file a 1886
capital stock tax return.
