THE MORNING OltEGOXIAX. SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1907. EXACT REDRESS FROM MOROCCO France and Spain Send War ships and May Land Troops at Casa Blanca. UNDER ALGECIRAS TREATY Powers Notified by France of Inten tions State Bank at Tangier Pillaged and British Official Captured by ' Rebels. PARIS, Aug. 2. The French and Spanish governments are acting in con cert and in great promptness to meet the situation that has arisen In Morocco. A warship of each of these powers Is now in the harbor of Casa Blanca, and three French and one Spanish men of war are on the way to Morocco. France has proposed to Spain the im mediate landing of French and Spanish troops at Casa Blanca and, in anticipa tion of a favorable reply, has prepared three transports at Toulon to convey 2500 men and 600 horses to Morocco. What further steps, if any, are contemplated have not been made public. Slight delay and embarrassment in meeting the situa tion Is caused by the absence of Premier Clemenceau, who is at Karlsbad taking the cure. An official communication Issued to day says that the action of the powers In Morocco is limited to that granted them under the Algeciras convention. Up to midnight no telegram had been received from Tangier reporting the ar rival there of fresh news from Casa Blanca. A dispatch received here from Oran, Algeria, reports that the State Bank at Tangier has been pillaged and that a British consular employe has been cap tured between Tangier and Blksar. There Is no confirmation of this news from Tangier. The French newspapers, excepting the Socialist Journals, are unanimous in de manding that the government take deci sive steps to enforce respect for France in Morocco. Some newspapers express the opinion that Germany will not now stand In the 'way, and they think the time Is ripe to abandon M. Delcasse's policy of 'pacific penetration," which they contend has- served only to arouse the hatred of the Moors, or the French, march Btralght to Fez. The Republlque Francaise says that un less the head of Maelanln Pasha, the Governor of Casa Blanca, Is obtained, a genuine holy war is likely to be precipi tated, and this would endanger Algeria. SEND TROOPS TO CASA BLAXCA Morocco Raises Money and Con tinues War on Raisuli. TANGIER, Aug. 2. Upon the request of the governing board, the State Bank has advanced 50.000 doures (about IlOO.O.'iO) to WarMinister Gabbas to permit him to send troops to Casa Blanca. Almost all the French resi dents of Casa Blanca have taken refuge- on an English cargo boat in the narbor. The government commanders have received no orders to suspend opera tions against the bandit Raisuli, who is holding- Sir Harry MacLean prisoner, and continuing to burn villages. They sent the heads of several insurgents to the city. , FREXCH SHIPS FOR TAXGIERS Transports Will Follow With Troops In Few Days. TOULON, France, Aug. 2. The French cruisers Conde and Duchayla left here today for Tangier. The trans : ports Nlve, Myth and Shamrock have been given orders to prepare to re eclve 2500 soldiers and 300 horses. .The Nive sails tomorrow: Clemenceau Tells French .Policy VIENNA. Aug. 2. M. Clemenceau, the French Premier, who IS taking the cure at Carlsbad, has given out an interview upon the Moroccan situation, in which he Bays France will be guided by two main considerations in dealing with the situ ation arising from the. Casa Blanca mur ders. First, she will, if possible, find a peaceable solution of'the difficulty, and secondly, she will only take action in agreement with the powers who took part In the conference at Algeciras. Germany Informed of Plans. BERLIN, Aug. 2.

' Atlantic Monthly. The psychology of a people is re flected In Its Government. And with us Impulse joins conviction in the creation of a Government by parties. No other organization of the govern mental powers is subject to such sub tle, such sudden and spectacular changes as - is a. democracy. For a democracy must always be a Govern ment by parties; and parties are tie repository, not only of conviction, but also of prejudice, of dogma, and even of passion. Factional wars have threatened monarchies and laid waste principalities, while creedal differences have devastated whole continents and eradicated entire populations. In America we have a War of the Roses every quadrennium; and having out grown religious intolerance, we have transferred to the political arena all the Impulses of factional warfare. The Impulses of the masses is like the flashing, erratic lightning. It has been the destruction of the ambition of many of our greatest men when they appeared for high office; because it has been attracted by secondary faults, or by idle tales, or by wilful mlsrepresen tion. The unthinking populace too often believe the canard; they allow trivial events to unbalance thoir Judg ment. There wao the princely Henry Clay. Who ever was mure widely acclaimed than this wonderful orator of the Whigs? The extraordinary in political life was commonplace to him. He never spoke to crowds he spoke to acres of people. His name was woven into song and story and paraphrased into a hundred appellations of endear ment. For half a century he was the striking figure in our National life. Every journey he Mhdertook was a progress, for towns emptied .their populations into his pathway, and farms were deserted when he passed through a neighborhood. And whenever he arose to speak the Nation was his auditory. The adoration of the American people for Henry Clay Is one of the re markable Incidents of our political his tory. Yet he was five times defeated for the Presidency three times as a party can didate before the people, twice as a can didate for the nomination before the Na tional convention. There were many rea sons for these multiplied defeats, but principally the false charge that Jack son hurled against him in 1824 -when Clay gave his votes in the House of Rep resentatives to John Quincy Adams for President rather than to the imperator, Jackson. Adams made Clay his Secre tary of State, and Jackson shouted: "Bargain and corruption!" It was a false and unjust cry. Clay was perfectly sincere In his desire to keep Jackson out of the White House, and John Quincy Adams could never be suspected of trickery- Yet the people believed the cry. It was re-choed and rephrased every succeeding time the brilliant orator ran for the Presidency. He could not live it down; he could not explain It away. Such was the credulity of the people and such their fickleness. Clay is not a solitary victim to impul siveness. A catalogue of the noted men who have been sacrificed to the mis guided impulse and the blind unreason and dislike of the people would Include the names of many of our really great men. Webster, Calhoun, Cass, Blaine, Reed,1 are Included among the regal vic tims of 'the lightning of impulaive poll tics. " '' The usual explanation of" this unfortu nate phenomenon is that theBe great men are too big for the office. That is a stultifying admission for an American to make. No man Is too great for the ex alted office of President. But there are men too great to Juggle with the follies and prejudices of the populace. BEATEN MD HALF STARVED CHINESE SAILORS PREFER JAIL TO LIFE ON SHIP. Fed on Pittance of Rice and Sweep ings of Flour-Bins AH May Be Deported. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. The Ger man tramp- steamer Tolosan lost 24 Chinese members of Its crew today. The Orientals deserted the ship, they say, on account of the cruelty prac ticed upon them by the captain and first officer, who beat and starved them. The immigration authorities have taken a hand in the case on ac count of the illegal landing of the Chi nese, who are now guests of the United States Government in the Alameda County Jail pending arrangements for their deportation. They declared they would rather die than make the return trip on the Tolo san to the Orient. T. Shiantin, a cook, and Chang Ning, a mess boy. said their countrymen had been compelled to live on one bag of rice for 14 days, supple mented by the sweepings from the flour bins. They produced a sample of the latter, which was liberally mixed with dust and trash. The spokesman charged Captain Jebseu and First Mate A. Frank with beating various Chinese members of the crew and denying them sufficient food to keep them in condition to do their work properly. Fiank, who appeared at the police station, admitted that he had struck the Chinese because they were disre spectful to him and not because they did not perform their duties. The President a Pistol-Toter,? Baltimore ..News. We have been greatVy surprised by the information, that President Roose velt "goes armed" for self-protection, the fact that he carries a "gun" hav ing been accidentally revealed, so It. is alleged. In Washington. D. C., dur ing the unveiling of the Masonic Tem ple in that city. It seems that while the grand master was tying the sym bolic white apron around the Presi dent's waist he found it necessary to lift His Excellency's coat tails, and that this exposed to the view of many spectators the butt end of a revolver protruding from the right-hand hip pocket. We are the more astonished at this particular revelation because at this particular time we know of no strenu ous situation nor of any threatening condition that would Justify Mr. Roose velt in toting a pistol. The present period ifl especially severe. There Is peace in Warsaw. Every enemy has been vanquished and not a head is -in sight. Foraker has taken to the woods. Harrlman has been . silenced, the Rockefellers are on the run, and every railroad president has sought Refuge in the cyclone cellar. Indeed,, were It not for Mr. Roosevelt's well known habits of abstinence, there might be room to conjecture that it was not a gun that the Washington Master Mason exposed to view when he brushed aside the Presidential coat tails. The hip pocket is - not exclu sively a receptacle for revolvers. Sheridan Statue in Chicago. Chicago Record-Herald. A movement for the erection of a bronze statue of General Philip Sheridan has been started by the Irish Felowship Club, of Chicago. The work will be by Charles J. Mulligan, a well known Chiccgo sculptor, and will be of heroic proportions. The statue will be erected at the head of Sheridan road and will look out ' upon the famous drive named for the cavalry commander. Sehwengers Challenges Tyler. VICTORIA, Aug. 2. Bernard Sehwen gers. of this city, won the singles at the British Columbia Tennis Tournament held here, and will meet Joe Tyler of Seattle today In a challenge match for the cham pionship of British Columbia. Tyler now Uolds the championship and Sehwengers won the right to challenge by winning the local match. The average rent paid for New York City tenements and apartment-bouses built within five years amounts, to $146 annually for each person living in them. FOUR UN SWORN One-Third of Halsey Jury Has Been Secured. MULATTO IS DISQUALIFIED Bradford's Candid Admission of Prejudice Causes Set-to Between Counsel, Which Judge -Dunne Sternly Stops. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2 In the presence of a large crowd of spectators In Judge Dunne's department of the Superior Court four of the 12 Jurors who are to try Theodore V. Halsey of the Pacific States Telephone Company for bribery, were finally chosen today and sworn and an adjournment was taken until Monday morning. At that time a fresh venire of 100 talesmen will be returned Into court by Sheriff O'Nell and from among them the attorneys hope to select eight men to fill the trial panel. The first negro to present himself in any of the bribery-graft cases was briefly examined and disqualified himself this morning. He was James L. Wright, a mulatto barber. He confessed to a fixed opinion, and was excused on challenge for cause by the prosecution. Many Excused for Bias. George Jones, a retired coal dealer, qualified as the - tenth probationary Juror after a struggle on the part of Halsey's attorneys to disqualify him. Henry Gille, a merchant; Jonas Elsas ser, bookkeeper; Charles C. Bradford, seaman's outfitter; Norman H.. Hall, merchant, and V. H. Poss, civil engi neer, stood aside in the' order named on account of bias for or against the defendant. Among the more interest ing questions suggestively asked of talesmen by the defense were these: "Was Mr. Rudolph Spreekels ever a customer of yours?" "Do you ever recall in all the years of your residence In San Francisco anything that attracted more attention than the prosecution of the so-called graft cases?" The invariable answer was: "No." "Are you a member of any labor union, or are your sympathies with the labor unions?" "Are you an active member of any political organization recently formed?" "If you were convinced in your heart that this defendant was guilty but the instructions of the court required you to acquit, what would you do?" An interesting talesman was Charles C. Bradford. Answering a question by the prosecution as to whether he could give the defendant a fair and Impartial trial, he said: Answer Which Causes Clash. "I wouldn't want to acknowledge be fore a court that I was so prejudiced that I could not give a man a fair bearing. Yet few of us realize or know how far our prejudices carry us. Wo don't find that out until we get into a Jury box. I would endeavor to . be fair and put my set opinion aside if I were sworn. That's the best I can say." - ' -"" The examination of Mr. Bradford re sulted in the first clash of opposing counsel. "We don't want anybody but fair jurors," said Mr. Johnson, of the pros ecution. "If you gentlemen," turning to Halsey's lawyers, "want him excused" "We haven't challenged him," inter rupted Mr. Schlesslnger. "and I don't see the reason for all this excitement. I will put a question to the juror. Mr. Bradford, If you were Indicted for a crime and brought into court for a fair trial, would you plead guilty?"' Schlesslnger Called Down. Mr. Johnson launched an indignant ob jection, but was cut short by Judge Dunne, who said: "The objection Is sustained. Mr. Schlesslnger, I will thank you to frame only such questions as go to ehow the juror's state of mind." "I shall ask such questions as I deem proper under the law and rules of the court," retorted Mr. Schlesslnger. "Yes, under the rulings of the court,' " observed Mr. Johnson sarcas tically. , "I am compelled to. submit to them," was the rejoinder. George B. Doyle, a grocer, was ac cepted as probationary juror No. 11. John N. Much, retail liquor dealer, and Edward J. Brandon were excused for bias. David Hirsch, dry goods merchant, was chosen as the 12th conditional juror, com pleting the probationary panel. APPEAli AGAINST INDICTMENTS Halsey and Others Carry Validity Question to Supreme Court. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. The ques tion of the validity of the many score of - indictments returned recently by the Oliver rand Jury has at last been submitted to the Supreme Court of California. Theodore V. Halsey, the "outside man" of the Pacific States Telephone Company, now on trial on a charge of bribing Supervisor Jjonergan, filed a petition yesterday with the Su preme Court, appealing to that body for a writ of prohibition, "restraining the Superior Court and Judge Frank H. J3unno from trying his case. A similar application for a -writ of prohibition against Judge Carroll Cook was filed on behalf of the six carmen indicted June 245 by the grand jury on charges cf felony alleged to have been committed in a streetcar riot. This decision will apply to all six cases. The attorneys for the indicted officials of the United Railroads also appeared in the chambers of the Supreme Court yesterday after the filing of, the Halsey petition, and announced their intention of filing similar briefs. The petitioners in praying for the writ rely largely upon the opinion giv en recently by Judge Cook on a mo tion to quash the Indictments in the cases of the strike rioters. In his opin ion Judge Cook held that the acts of the grand Jury since the new grand Jury panel was drawn in February last are null and void. Judge Cook refused at the same time to set aside the in dictments, suggesting that the whole .question be passed up to the Supreme Court. This question is now before that body,- and the indicted ones do not desire their trials to proceed until a decision is rendered. WHO SIGNED BRIBERY CHECKS Heney Asks Many Telephone Em ployes at Grand Jury Session. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. The grand Jury this afternoon resumed its investiga tion in the Glass case. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Heney took personal charge of the investigation and was sec onded by Assistant District Attorney Har rison. : Mr. Heney is endeavoring to learn from the telephone company's employes Just who of them can give the desired infor- mation regarding the signing of the checks which were to pay the Supervisors. Thus far the investigation has not proved very successful, although Mr. Heney and De tective Burns have located a witness who Is expected to give the much-wanted tes timony. All of those examined were em ployes of the telephone company, most of them in minor positions. Glass Wants Time to Get Lawyers. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. The retrial of Louis Glass, manager of the Pacific States Telephone &. Telegraph Company will not begin next Monday, as Superior Judge Lawlor first arranged. A delay will be granted when the case is called on that day to allow the defendant to pro cure counsel to take the place of D. M. Delmas and H. C. McPike. who are now engaged in the trial of T. V. Halsey. T. C. Coogan reported to Judge Law lor today that Prosecutor Heney had consented to short delay until the attor ney matter is settled, although the prose cution is desirous of expediting the case. Judge Lawlor then consented to postpone the trial when it is called next MoDday until the following Wednesday. A further delay may be then granted If necessary.'

THE GOOD SHIP SINKER Peep Into an "Official" Report Sent From the Waterfront. Exchange. From Steamboat -Inspector Snuggins to the Hon. Secretary of Waterways: Sir: I beg to report that I Inspected the S. S. Sinker today. In accordance with your order. The Summer excur sion season is now in full swing, so this is an excellent time to prepare for It. 1. I -went cm board the Sinker yes terday and suddenly ordered the fire bell rung. The alacrity of the crew was remarkable. They all Jumped overboard inside of 30 seconds, except one man, and he hit his knee against the railing. This was a remarkable test, and althpugh the crew might be Impeded by passengers if the boat was crowded, I think they should be al lowed to pass. I may mention that not one of these men was ever qn board a steamship before getting their Jobs on the Sinker. 2. The fire hose was In excellent order, nicely painted white. The cap tain said he did not like to turn water through it as it would burst and tne company would charge hira for it. His remarks were reasonable, so I did not order a water test. 3. Life preservers. In first-class shape. The regulations require that each shall wefgh 45 pounds. Some of these I weighed tipped the beam at 150 pounds. The number was one short, but the captain explained that It was being used as an anchor, so I allowed It to pass. 4. The maximum number of passen gers which should be carried by the Sinker is 250. Usually in the Summer she carries only 900, so the margin of safety Is strictly observed. 0. The chief engineer of the Sinker is an experienced man, as he ran tae freight elevator in a factory for 25 years before taking his present posi tion.

In case of ac cident It is thus clear that SO or 60 trips by these boats would remove to safety all the crew and passengers. It takes the crew three or four hours to get out two of the boats, which are usually utilized as storerooms by the cook. This Is to.be remedied next sea son, when the cook will be given an Icebox. 7. Recommendations. I recommend that the Sinker be given an extra coat of red lead, as the holes in some of the plates are likely to alarm unthinking .passengers.
