The Gentleman at the Left Is Philip J. Britt, Mr. MorBe's Lawyer. Morae la Seen Immediately Behind the Two Figures in Front (Sptdil I)Uptch to Tb JootmI.) New T-k. Feb. ?, Like all men caught grafting Charlei W. Morse does not lfko? newspapermen. Publicity is r hocking to Mr. Morse and he does not hesitate to sar so. Morse has recently declined -to say anything for publics lion and he- refuses to .even ride in the am elevator with newspaper writers. "I don't want to ride -with you." he said, recently, drawing back from the car he was about to enter as he saw them getting in. It has been brought to light that Morse was the mysterious dealer in stock of the Delaware & Hudson rail road Is the offices of Marcus Mayer A Co. when that firm recently went to the wall,, carrying some 20,000 shares of that security, bought at about $260 a share. Morse's idea in buying that stock was to obtain sufficient influence in the management of the company to bring about the purchase by it of his Hudson river steamboat trust, com moi.ly called the Hudson. Navigation company. MULAI HAFID'S TREASURE , FINANCED HIS REBELLION The great conundrum of the situation in Morocco for months past has been the question where Mulal Hafld, the pretender, or sultan of the south, as he Is called, got the money to finance his revolt against his brother, Abdul Asia. Germany has been at pains to give as surances that she did not give him any and It is certain that neither r trance nor her allies furnished it The mystery appears to be solved by story which M. vaffler-Pollet, an old time French naval officer, has brought out from Marrakesh,- and which reads like a tale out of the "Arabian Nights." According to this narrative, Mulal Haf id found or rather had revealed to him a hidden treasure amounting to 20,000,000 francs, about $1,000,000, Just as the sheiks proclaimed him Sultan and de creed the deposition of his brother. There was a room in the old Dalace In llarrakeeh which had remained bolt ed and barred since the death in 1894 of Mulal Hassan, the father of the pres. ent rivals for the throne; It was In a remote, unfrequented corner of the rambling structure and a sort of super stitious awe had grown up regarding it It was in the harem, so it was effectu ally protected from masculine enter prise. Female curiosity was repressed by the vague tradition of curses that would fall upon, anyone who violated the preci hour, reclncts before the appointed day and tudded with iron nails was the inscrip for on the great oaken door liOitntWEST (31 JTiV PREPARED TO OUTDO ALL PREVIOUS EVENTS Portland spot cash has done its work pur buyers here went direct to. the Eastern manufacture! that ha.d to have cash in January and bought seasonable and spring styles of .

SPMPSMMSWS tlon: "Kaxln el Kcbrit Alanlat el i Jehad," which belnsr tranniated means "Magazine of sulphur for the Holy War." When Hulal Hassan died Abdul Azls was but 16, foolish and sensual. The rrlm old Grand Vizier Ba-Hamed made him sultan and ruled for him for some years. M The boy sultan had access to the harem, but he never seems to nave troubled hU head about the sulphur chamber. Ba-Hamed couldn't set Into the harem, and If ne ever heard of the room- which his dead master had closed up years before he attached no Im portance to it. But Abdul Azls spent hardly any time in Marrakesh after h.ia accession. He took up his nuarters for good In 1902 In Fes, where it was much easier to get pianos, music boxes, bicycles and other expensive European toys.. The palace at Marrakesh fell Into the hands of Mulal Hafld, whom4 Abdul Azls first tried to make prisoner and then appoint ed governor of the southern part of the country. Es is Slated. Now Mulal had for a long time been slated for, the sultanate. He was only the second son, but his elder brother, the lame Mulal Mohammed, had lncarred the anger of- their father and the un dying hostility of the Arab tribesmen. At the age ef 20 or thereabouts he was entrusted with several expeditions against warlike tribes, which he carried out with success. At one time he al most seemed to share the rulership with his father, but the old man's favorite wire, the mother of Abdul Aziz, extract ed from him a promise that her son snouia reign. When Mulal Hassan died somewhat suddenly, Ba-Hamed picked the younger prince not merely Because ne cad sworn to support him, but because he knew that his own power would be greater than If the older and capable Mulal Hafld came to the throne. To everyone's surprise Mulal Hafld accepted the slutatlon without a mur mur. He was the first to kiss his brother's hand and swear allegiance. Un til recently he kept the oath rigidly. In fact, despite his capacity for war and business he is by preference 'a scholar and a dreamer. At the present minute he has on the fioint of publication a volume of verses n Arabic, and an Arabic grammar of which he Is the author Is on the press in Cairo. It will be his thirteenth pub lished work. He didn't want to be sultan. He has kept the south In subjection. It Is true, since he was made caid of Marrakesh, but he has done it almost without taking up arms. Throueh his emissaries he has fomented the quar rels and Jealousies of the tribes and j their chieftains and so has secured the peace and ease for himself which he so- much desired. when the sheiks and ulemas at last compelled him to accept the title of sultan and to declare war on Abdul Aziz, he enrolled the most' Dowerful of the southern chiefs In his cabinet and asked them what they were going to do. He put this question up to 81-Taleb-Tazl, whom he made minister of finance. - There seemed to. be - no an swer In sight . when- the miraculous happened. one evening as ne entered nis narem after a discouraging session of his councilors Mulal was intercepted by an aged woman.' She had been one of the favorites of his father and she now occupied the high position of arlfa or. grand ..mistress oi tne narem Say Bad Come. She excitedly declared that the day and the hour had come. Anyway, she was olrl and soon goinr to die: she could keep a great secret or state no longer. She i led the wondering Mulal to the barred door of the sulphur chamber and told him to go boldly In, assuring him that he would nna more than sul phur for the holy war, sulphur being only an oriental tnetaohor for the real lighting material. Muiai opened the aoor ana went in. There were 30 lronbound. chests ar ranged alone the walls, all covered with the dust and rust of 20 years. He opened the first; It was rull of gold coins. He opened the second and it was tne ..same. They were all ftall of fold coin Spanish doubloons of 12 different mint lngd ranging in date from Charles III in nt i uuwn u reruinana vu in i5U. The contents of the chests varied. from ,000 to 5,000 doubloons, worth about 16 apiece. Tlie total is calculated at about 20.000,0(W francs or $4,000,000. At, the time when Mulal Hafld 'was reveling - in thl J arrest wealth Abdul Aziz was trying to pawn his Jewels in Paris and getting no higher offer than 1240.000 on them. The first use Kfulal Hafld made of nis money was to equip 10.000 men ln highly colored uniforms with vivid reds, grens and blues in Imitation of the Mokhazls or amnion of his brother. He also bought cloth .to make tents and vast supplies of ammunition for i tne excellent Mart ni-iienrv r n. . ttr i which he discovered several thnnaand I forcotten in the armorr at Marnakeah.
