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

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
