LOTDON'. July P. Tb most psiml
Ue vlw regarding th acutsness, of th
Moroccan crisis was confirmed by th
Prime Minister la the House of Com
mons today, when be read, from a
manuscript which bad been carefully pre
pared, a warning to Germany that Great
Britain proposed to stand for wbat she
ronsldered ber rights and to maintain
the balance of power In Europe.
Further testimony of the (rarity of
the situation Is riven by the fact that
the Prims Minister obviously hsd taken
the leader of the opposition Into the
rovernment's confldeinc. and Mr. Bal
four's declaration was no less Ann tbsn
Mr. Ascultha
Premier Speaks Plainly.
The Prims Minister's statement was
touched In diplomatic though not reas
luring. language. At the Tery opening bs
said:
"It Is obrlous tbat this Moroccan ques
tion has reached a point at which It will
be Increasingly difficult, embarrassing
and anxious unlsss a solution Is found."
Later bs said:
Ws thought It right from the begin
jlcg to make clear that, failing of a
settlement such as I have Indicated, ws
must become an active party la the dis
cussion of the situation. Tbat would
be oar right as a signatory to ths treaty
of Algeclraa. as It might bs our obliga
tion under ths terms of our agreement
of B04 with France. It might bs our
duty In defense of British Interests di
rectly affected by further developments.
Balfoor Pledges Support.
In promising ths support of ths oppo
sition to ths government. Mr. Balfour
said:
"If there are any who supposed that
ws would bs wiped off the msp of Eu
rope because ws have our difficulties at
home. It may bs worth while saving
that they bitterly mistake ths temper
of ths British peopls and the patriotism
of the opposition.
Such plain speaking on a question
fraught with possibilities of a great
European war bas not bsen beard tn
ths British Parliament In years. The
outcome of the situation appears to rest
almost wholly on Gsrmany's shoulders.
If. as some German papers say. Ger
many bas reached ths stags of national
development where ths necessities of
ber population demand that shs branch
out Into foreign fields, and Imposes
conditions on France which Oreat Brit,
aln thinks threaten bsr vital Interests,
ths only result, so far as those best In
formed see It. will bs tbe oft-threatened
and long-averted European convulsion.
Warning Plainly Intended.
Ths majority of the German news
papers profess to think that Chancel
lor Lloyd-Qorg'a recent spsech of
wsrnlng was not addressed to Germany,
but was a sort of general proclamation
of principles. Mr. Asqultb's statement
leaves no doubt and was Intended
plainly to leave none on that point.
While the country has no knowlsdge
of tbe extent of Germany's first condi
tions, ths Prims Minister mads It plain
that they were such that Great Britain
would not consent to them.
Mr. Balfour strongly hinted at what
Is tbs general feeling, tbat Germany
thought shs could take advantage of
ths crisis In Great Britain's domestic
politics. In ths belief that It was so ab
sorbing to ths country that ths peopls
would not pay attention to foreign af
fairs. Press Is Cnlted.
English nswspapers ars united In
supporting ths government. They ars
studiously p:its In language, but
strongly nrge that Germany shall not
be permitted to make any African in
cursion that would seriously damage
Great Britain's national Interests- All
ths politicians and ths public earnestly
hops tbat Oermany's programme Is not
on which Grsat Britain will consider
Impossible.
James Ramsey Mae Donald, leader of
th Laboiites. remarked tbat ths Labor
members wsrs nttsrly opposed to war.
but bs hoped that no Europeaa nations
would assums for a single moment that

Nevertheless, ths Laborltes of Car

With Victory, Will Try lo .
Pres ' Advantage. ' ,
WASHINGTON. July 2". Out of what
appeared to be a chaotic condition in
the Senate there suddenly arose today
a coalition of Democrats and Insurg
ent Republicans which bowled over
th regular organization and passed a
compromise bill for the revision of the
woolen tariff by 4 8 to 32.
This new force In the Senate, united
on a material reduction of tariff duties
all down the line and flushed with vic
tory, tonight Is threatening not only
to pass th so-called "farmers' free
list bill." as It cam from the House,
but to put through a cotton bill as well.
The Insurgents wsnt the sugar and
steel schedules Included In the pro
gramme. House Will Make Terms.
The House Democratic leaders are
not willing to accept th compromise
wool bill as It psssed the Senate today.
But they are mora than willing to meet
the Senate conferees. Chslrmsn Under
wood, of the Houss ways and means
committee, expressed the belief tonight
that a bill satisfactory to both houses
was mors than likely to be agreed
upon.
This would put ths wool Issue up to
President Taft. and there Is much
speculation as to what his course will
bs.
Mr. Taft would make no comment on
th situation. While the President In
the psst has denounced tile present
woolen schedule of th Payne-Aldrtch
bill aa Indefensible, there have been
strong Intimations from the Whit
House within th past few weeks that
he would not heal tat to use the veto
on any tariff schedules passed In ad
vance of reports from th tariff board.

The assumption of power by the
Democratic-Insurgent combination to
day was the outgrowth of a similar
coalition formed June Zl to send ths
woolen bill to the finance committee
with Instructions to report It bsck July
10. The "standpat" Senators then ad
mitted that their control of the upper
house of CongTess had been broken
and that they would no longer hold

Find It Worth $7000.
OROVILLE, Cal., July 27. (Special.)
An Immense pile of mining tailings that
has lain unguarded for years at the
Gold Bank mine near Forbes town, this
county, where operations long ago
ceased, has Just been found to be worth
many thousands of dollars. The tailings
could have been bought by anyone at his
own figure.
Fred Stores, one of th owners of th
mine, sacked a carload of tailings sev
eral days ago and shipped It to th
Selby smelter. He received word yester

"Tour information Is so unique In Its
character as to command especial no
tice and attention, and to richly deserve

On behalf of the taxpayers of Oregon, I
salute you."
This was the word sent by Secretary

warded a bill for tl.SO for a telephone

he did not want one, and would not ac
cept it unless ha discovered that It was
part of his duties to accept such. This
unheard-of procedure of a state offi

miles north of San Francisco, late today.
The body was positively Identified as
that of Miss Ilg tonight by William Ilg.
the young woman's brother, who was
summoned from his home at 16 Hart
ford street, San Francisco. -
The bdy yielded no clew as to the
cause of the young woman's disappear
ance. The sleeve of the Jacket was torn
and two teeth were broken, but no other
marks of violence were noticed.
Deputy Coroner Says "Suicide."
Deputy Coroner Heaton said he be
lieved the young woman took her own
life, but offered no grounds for his be
lief other than the lack of violence. He
explained th broken teeth by the fact
Uiat the shore Is strewn with rocks
near where the body was found.
Th body was first seen by Fred
Leltester and Donald Berry, both of
Bollnas. Leltester summoned his
brother. J. E. Leltester, an attorney, of
San Francisco, who went immediately
to Bollnas and with the assistance of
two men the body was taken from the
water. Ilg immediately waa summoned
and made the identification without
hesitation by the young woman's gar
ments. Search Made by Thousands.
The young woman was 23 years old.
She left her parents' home saying she
was going to get tickets to a local the
ater for a coming performance. Th
seach by police and private' detectives
which followed her failure to return did
not reveal any plausible explanation
of her disappearance, which Is still
left unsolved by the finding of th
body.
Thousands of residents of San Fran
cisco participated In the search at vari
ous times. The family had established
headquarters in a downtown building,
from which the operations of a small

Marry Junction City Couple.
VANCOUVER, Wash, July 27. (Spe

not one could be found today to marry
a couple that desired a ceremony by a
clergyman. The, two, with two wo
men as witnesses, had traveled all the
way from Junction City, Or., to be mar
ried here, but when they could not And
a preacher, they went to G. Lloyd Da

Esta M. Meyers, accompanied by Mrs.
Anda Frazee and a friend, obtained a

undertone, the prospective bridegroom

could find a minister.
Mr. Marshall went to a telephone and
called up one of the nearest pastors.

the telephone book and calling - up
every minister in Vancouver, without
finding a single one of them at home,
Marshall suggested that a Justice of

his bride reluctantly went to the of

TRADE AGREEMENT SEEN
Rival Concerns Believed Planning
to Stop Competition,
KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. July 27. (Spe
cial.) Behind the decision of Colonel
Ray, the New York millionaire, and his
Rogue River Power Company not to
Invade Klamath Falls for the present.
It Is believed is hidden an armistice In
the fight for the local power and light
trade between the Rogue River Com
pany and the Siskiyou Power Company.
There has been much rivalry between
the Rogue River Company and the Siski
you Power Company for business in the
Rogue River Valley. The latter com
pany has been threatening to Invade
the former's field. It Is now thought
that the decision of the Rogue River
Company to remain away is the result
of an agreement between the big rival
concerns whereby on will remain away
from Klamath and the other- refrain
from further Invasion of the .ttogue
River field. This belief Is strengthened
by reason of the fact that the Siskiyou
people now own the Klamath Falls
lower and light plants, having purchased
them and the power lines Into other
smaller neighboring towns some months
ago.

"Oh, she will think I am some other
McGrath. She'd' never think I'd be mixed
up in anything like this, and when she
doesn't hear from me, she may think I
have been killed," the young man said.
WOMEN RULE FOR MOTHER
Feminine Judges In Tacoma Take
Babe Away From Its Father.
TACOMA. July 27. Give the child back
to Its mother, was the decision of three
women Judges who advised with Su
perior Judge Easterday in the divorce
case of Mollle Tropser against Harper
P. Tropser. But neither the wife nor
husband, whose fight for their 19-months-old
baby has won much prominence, was
granted a legal separation. The four
Judges were unanimous in the opinion
that their troubles could be reconciled.
This reverses the findings of Judga
Easterday at the first trial, and he is
well pleased with the outcome. The
court found the charges of Infidelity un
true. Mrs. Tropser was awarded sepa
rate maintenance of $25 a month, and
the husband is allowed to visit his wife
and child at all reasonable times.

Attorney for Defense Says Reserva
tlon of Rooms at San Francisco
Hotel Has Been Made for
Wilde for Next Monday. 4
SAN FRANCISCO. July 27. (Spe
cial.) Governor Johnson announced at
8 o'clock tonight In the Mills building
that he would honor the requisition Is
sued by Governor West, of Oregon, for
the extradition of Louis J. Wilde, of
San Diego, who Is wanted at Portland
for the alleged embezzlement of $90,000
of the funds of the Oregon Trust Sc
Savings Bank.
The hearing of the case was con
cluded at a brief session early tonight,
attended by Charles Sumner, of San
Diego, attorney for Wilde, and Georga
J. Cameron, Prosecuting Attorney of
Multnomah County, Oregon.
Cameron Outlines Evidence.
At the first hearing of the extradi
tion proceedings last week Governor
Johnson declined to grant the requisi
tion, basing his decision upon an opin
ion given by Attorney-General Webb,
who declared that after reading short
hand transcripts of the evidence he
found none to Indicate that Wilde was
guilty of any crime.
Evidence was outlined today by Cam
eron tending to show that Wilde shared
in the transactions of W. Cooper Mor-.
ris, cashier of the wrecked bank, and
Is therefore equally liable to punish
ment. He cited authorities to sub
stantiate this theory.
Joint Indictment Shown.
Wilde, Cameron sought to show,
holding no position of trust, was still
an accessory to Morris, who stands In
dicted jointly with him for the offense
of embezzlement.
Attorney Sumner said at the Palace
Hotel tonight that Wilde would prob
ably go to Portland immediately and
reservations were made for him at the
Palace for next Monday night. Cam
eron returned to Portland tonight.

Herbein. his wife.
A scant quarter hour later Dr. John
Venters, osteopath. Northern Bank

be performed In his case.
Dr. Herbein gave as his principal
cause of action that his wife objected

ing feminine patients. Dr. Venters said
his wife had the same objection. Both
agreed that it interfered with business
and reduced financial returns to a
blighting degree.
Dr. Veters related tearfully that his
wife once pelted him in the eye with a
hair brush and that frequently she so
insulted patients in his waiting-room
that they left, not to return; also that
Mrs. Venters had left, he hoped, not to
