DELCASSE BREAKS
HIS LONG SILENCE
Says Germany's Threat
War About Morocco
Was a Bluff.
of
HER POLICY IS THWARTED
Kx-Ministcr Declares French Alli
ances Guarantee Security and
Prevented the Spread of the
Itusso-Ja'ianese War.
PARIS. Jan. 24. During the discussion
today in the Cnamber of Deputies of
the Interpellation on Morocco introduced
by M. Jaures, the Socialist leader, M.
Deleasse, for the first time since his re
tirement as Minister of Foreign Affairs
during the crisis of 1S05, spoke upon for
eign affairs. He received an ovation
such as had not been witnessed in the
chamber for months and it did not come
from tno members of his party alone.
The speech was in defense not only of
his Moroccan policy, but of his general
policy of friendly ententes with foreign
nations. The Moroccan policy initiated
by him, M. Deleasse declared, was based
on the principle of France's pre-eminent
position in North Africa, which com
pelled her to prevent any other power
from establishing an influence at Fez,
where it would become a constant men
ace to Algeria.
German Policy Thwarted.
M. Deleasse created something of a
. atir by describing the covert threat of
war unless France took the dispute con
cerning Morocco to the Algeciras con
vention for adjustment, as a German
bluff. Rather than yield, he declared, he
had retired from the foreign ministry.
Nevertheless, Germany's object, which
M. Deleasse said was to bVeak the circle
of France's alliances and friendships, had
failed. France's policy of fortifying her
Internal position had twice saved the
peace of the world. It had solved the
differences existing between France and
iGreat Britain and drawn Spain and Italy
closer together without displeasing Rus
sia. He continued:
Fortified by Alliances.
Thirty-seven years ago, while France vu
prostrated and isolated, Germany, her con
queror, was building up the triple alliance.
At laM our present chain of alliances and
ententes, forrcd after Innnlte pains, guar
antees our security for the future. The whole
world recognizes that the Anglo-French en
tente prevented a universal conflagration dur
ing the Kuseo-Japaneae War. Our greatest
peril now lies not abroad, but in regard to
the dissensions at home. If we stand true to
our alliances. France will remain the master
of her destinies.
Although ho had opposed taking the
Moroccan question to Algeciras, M. Del
easse said he had done notiiing to em
barrass the government, and that since
the obligations of the treaty of Algeciras
had been accepted, France must honestly
abide by them.
Jaures Assails Moroccan Policy.
In presenting his interpellation, M.
Jaures violently assailed the policy of the
French government in Morocco. He de
clared that, if the support of Abd-el-Azis.
whom he termed "the opera bouffe"
Sultan of Morocco, continued, France in
evitably would be forced into a mili
tary adventure that would necessitate
the mobilization of 100.000 or 150,000 men
to march to Fob. Continuing, M. Jaures
created a stir by charging that the gov
ernment had flirted alternately with both
Abd-el-Aziz and Mulal Hatld and he
claimed to have in his possession letters
proving that the late Dr. Mauchamp
was a secret Intermediary between Mulai
Hatld and the French Foreign Office.
In reply. Foreign Minister Pinchon de
nied thut the government had ever had
either direct or indirect relation with
Mulai Hatld.
' The debate was adjourned to January
27.

FISH ASSAILS INTER-CONTROL
Says Holding of Stock in One Cor
poration by Another Is Menace.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24. "The great ques
tion of our time which presents to the
American people a tremendous prob
lem for solution, and one to which
their attention is now being turned
Decause it is an evil of very rapid
trrowin, is me monopoly of trade and
- transportation brought about by stock
holdings of one corporation in another."
This statement is made in the brief
which Stuyvesant Fish and his associ
ates filed in the Superior Court yester
day in the injunction suit which they are
prosecuting to prevent E. H. Harriman
and his friends from voting at the annua!
meeting of the Illinois Central Railroad,
stock which Is owned by the Union Pa
cific and by the Railroad Securities Com
panics.
The brief Is a reply to the brief rjre--
pared by the defendants. They declared
that a decision against them would dis
rupt many of the great corporations in
the country. In reply to this statement
Mr. Fish and his friends frankly de
clared that they hope It will have this
effect and that the majority of the
American people are entertaining the
same hope. It is expected to be the
dominant purpose of the now famous
Illinois central Railroad injunction sui
to make it possible for the people to
rid themselves or grasping monopoly.
" e express, we believe." declares
Mr. Fish and his friends, "the senti
ments of the great majority of the peo
pie, who hope that this case will do
for the complainants and that it w'.U
be the entering wedge which will final
ly dissolve all these monopolistio stock
holding combinations and confine the
piratical corporations of New Jersey
and Utah to operations within the lim
its of the states which created them."
The attention of the court is called to
the fact that the Government has al
ready struck one effective blow at the
"vicious system"' in the Northern Socuri
tieej case, which broke up one of Harri
man'i and Hill's schemes to control paral
lel and competing lines of railroads, and
that it is Uolivexing 'another blow in the
Standard Oil case. " The opportunity
which the brief asserts is presented to
the court to do a great public service is
thus stated: '
"This suit represents to the court of
Illinois the opportunity to Join as a pio
neer state in this righteous crusade
against predatory corporations and to
declare, what is a manifest fact, that the
Utah statute Df 1907, which gives to Utah
railroad companies power to own and
control the stock of every transportation
corporation by land and by sea In this
country and in all parallel and compet
ing lines outside of the State of Utah,
is a practical attempt to evade the North
ern Securities case and Sets forth a pol
icy which every other state in the Union
will use its whole power to strike
down."
GOVERNMENT GETS EVIDENCE
More Proof of Rebates Civen to
" Standard Oil.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 34. In laying:
the foundation of its case against the
Standard Oil Company in the suit for
he annulment of the company s char
ter, the Government continued today
the examination of E. .Dana Durand,
Deputy Commissioner of Corporations.
Mr. Durand today testified In the course
of an Identification of certain official
tariffs of the Chicago & Easter.i Illi
nois Railroad that while the shipments
of oil were waybllled at 11 cents per
"hundred, a part of the shipments were
carried at 84 cents per hundred, and
the balance at 6 cents per hunorcil.
Mr. Durand explained that the col
lection vouchers of the railroad which
he exhibited showed that the amount
actually paid by the Standard Oil Com
pany for such shipments as he referred
to was less than the rate fixed in tne
official . tariffs tiled with the commis
sion.
Mr. Durand said that in nearly every
instance the actual rate paid by the
Standard was less than the rates fixed
by tariffs of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, road.
'I made the examination of these
records myself." said Mr. Durand. -'and
cannot be mistaken."

curred afterwards. The combined effects
of the whisky he had taken and the ex
posure caused him to declare that he

Result of Misunderstanding.

today the episode at the Sioux City
Waterways Congress was the result of a
misunderstanding. Chairman Burke, he
said, believed the Mayor was a South

of order. The Mayor said he was in
order and had a right to speak when he
did.
"There was nothing political in what I
started to say." said the Mayor, "and my
reference to Cannon and Allison was
made In a humorous strain without in
tent to Inject politics."

BOMB EXPLODED AS RUSE
During Consequent Confusion, Keys
Are Tossed ' to HUn and He Is
Spirited Away in an Au
tomobile in Disguise.
LONDON, , Jan. 24. A dispatch ' has
been received here from Lisbon saying
that Dr. Sarmano Lopez, who was con
nected with the recent conspiracy to
blow up Premier Franco with a bomb,
made a daring escape today from the
San Julia Prison, a strong fortress at
the mouth of the Tagus River.
Because of the high social position of
Dr. Lopez, permission was given a party
of his friends to visit him in prison.
This party went to the fortress in a mo
tor car. As the automobile drew up in
front of the prison a terrific explosion
was heard.
The commander of the prison ordered
that the party be detained and guards
placed around the fortress. A further
examination was then made, but no ex
planation of the explosion could be found.
The visitors were then allowed to
depart in their motor car. It was
learned later that durlns the confu
sion following the explosion some one
had tossed keys to Dr. Lopez through
the grating of the window ot his cell.
With these he unlocked the door and
joined his friends. He is supposed to
have gone away in the motor car dis
guised with heavy-rimmed motor
glasses and a big coat.
The entire staff of the fortress, in
cluding the commander, has been ar
rested on suspicion of accepting a
bribe to permit the escape of the pris
oner. A reward has been offered for
the arrest of Dr. Lopez.
Denies Lopez Was Politician.
LISBON, Jan. 24. Following the escape
of Dr. Sarmano Lopez from the San Julia
prison, the government today issued a
note declaring that Lopez is not known in
politioar circles, and denying the report
that the commander and the staff of the
fortress had been arrested on suspicion
of having connived at the escape. The
note declares farther that there have
been no defections in the army.
The government today issued a state
ment declaring that it believes the main
tenance of order in Portugal is assured.
This feeling of security is reflected by a
lower gold premium. '

LISBON, Jan. 24. The transmission of
