R — | Skating at the R.ink To- morrow Evening Greetings To All Music by the Band POLITIGAL 60SSIP BUSY; PROSPEGTIVE CANDIDATE Prospective Republican Candidates for Governor Are Being Discussed Freely. — The Duluth News-Tribune of yes- terday contained the following spec- ial telegram from St. Paul concern- ing possible republican candidates for the republican nomination for governor, and other interesting gos- sip: “Osakis has become a center for state political discussions this sum- mer. Somehow, men prominent in politics have picked out this particu- lar spot during the hot weather as a vacation resort. The list has in- cluded United States Senators Nel- son, and Clapp, Tawney, Steenerson, Lindbérg, Grimshaw, and others. When this aggregation assembled all at one little summer resort, it was as natural for state politics to be the general subject under dis- cussion as it was for the fish in the neighboring lake to swim. “The outlook for the Republican nomination for governor was given much attention. It was decided that Steenerson was the strongest man who could be nominated; that Ed. Young came second and Vol- stead third. It was also the general opinion that if J. A. Johnson should happen to accept a nomination for for.a third term, the Republican congressmen would keep their hands off and let the next Republican con- vention nominate whoever it desired without trying to influence it in any way. “Stories of C, A. Smith, the Min- neapolis lumberman, as a candidate for nomination for governor by the next Republican convention, will not down. There is said to be an organized though very quiet cam- paign already started in his favor. Mr. Smith is getting a great deal of advertising of late in an unpreten- tious way. Pamphlets are being circulated, for instance, telling of his numerous donations to aid Swed- ish churches and church institutions. The “ready prints” have taken him up and published his picture and laudatory articles about him. Then in addition, there is the story that C. C. Whitney of Marshall has been very busy the past few weeks mak- ing various parts of the state in be- half of the Smith boom.” Will Picnic Next Tuesday.

REVOLT ANTI-FRENCH Moroccan Official Discusses Trou- ~ble in That Country. GENERAL UPRISING LIKELY Declares That France Is Pursuing the Wrong Course and Must Act With More Deliberation in Order to Allay. Present Excitement. Berlin, Aug. 26.—The Frankfurter Zeitung publishes a dispatch from Tangler giving the substance of an in- terview which its correspondent there had with Mohammed Sidi El Mokhri, head of the Moroccan delegation to the Algeciras convention, and who, it has been reported, may succeed Mo- hammed El Torres as representative of the sultan at Tangler. He Is quoted as saying that the present ferment in the interior of Morocco is due to France’s impatient, hasty course at Casa Blanca. This caused fear among the Moors that their country would be subjugated. Mohammed added that if France now acts with greater delib- eration the existing excitement may be allayed. Otherwise he fears a gen- eral uprising. The movement hitherto has not been anti-Christian, but anti- French. France’s present course, Mo- hammed claimed, is contrary to the terms of the Algeciras convention and moreover is a blunder. He expressed the hope that the other powers would insist on France keeping within the terms of the Algeciras convention and stated that the events at Casa Blanca had endangered peace In Morocco, whereas that country expected peace and civilization from Europe: SEGOND ANNUAL IR RACE MEETING and Old Se ttlers’ Reunion.

Washington, Aug. 26.—Willlam B. Ridgely, ocomptroller of the currency, discussed in detail the plan which Becretary Cortelyou has formulated to relieve possible money stringency this fall through the distribution of funds emong national banks. He gives sev- eral reasons for the regarding of the plan as “wise and timely” and says he can see no other reason why the demand for liquidation should become 80 general as to produce anything like & panic or commercial crisis. In fact, he takes a more optimistic view of the sltuation, maintaining that the re- sources of the country never at any time were so readily available for progress and development as they are at present. Comptroller Ridgely’s statement follows: “The announcement by Becretary Cortelyou of his plan for relieving the strain on the money market by the | deposit of government funds 18 very wise and timely and should go very far towards allaying apprehension and restoring business to its normal con- dition. 1t is well known by every one at all conversant with the money mar- ket that the present stringency ap- plies far more acutely to time loans than to call loans. Time money is very tight, while call money is com- peratively easy. For this reason the pressure is bearing most heavily on commercial and manufacturing inter- ests. Relief Where Most Needed. “The secretary’s plan of making de- posits when and where needed will enable him to apply his relief wher- ever it will do the most good to com- mercial and manufacturing business, with less reference to the speculative situation. I belleve it is better to make this announcement now and of- fer the relief in this way than to wait until the stock market is in more or less of a panic and rates for call loans are extremely high. “One of the great disturbing factors in our annual crop moving stringency has always been the uncertainty as to when and how the secretary of the treasury would take action. It is some- times charged that call rates have been manipulated up to fictitious heights to effect this action. “I am glad that Mr. Cortelyou has anticipated this and by making this announcement now removes as much of the uncertainty as possible. -“While the present situation is one requiring care and cpol headed, delib- erate action, especially on the part ot the bankers, there is no reason at all why the demand for liquidation should 80 spread as to produce anything like a panic or commercial crisis. The banking condition {8 unusually sound, more on account of the read- Justment of stock market values.” CORTELYOU TO THE RESCUE WIIl Deposit Government Money to Relleve Stringency. New York, Aug. 26.—Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou has announced a new plan of depositing government funds in New York, Boston and other oitles to afford rellef to the money market in the approaching crop mov- ing perlod. Beginning immedlately the secretary ‘will place each week, at such points in the country as he shall designate, gov- ernment funds to such an amount as he deems sufficient to prevent an acute monetary stringency and possi- ble panic. The plan of the secretary Is new to the financial- world, and one which he belleves will prove more efficacious than the. old method of waiting until the country was severely shaken finan- clally and then coming to the rescue at the last moment by placing a large deposit of government funds in New York banks. The present financial situation has occupled Secretary Cortelyou’s atten- tion for some time, and he is doing what he can under the law to bring monetary relief. Notwithstanding a heavy demand for the $30,000,000 Pan- ama bonds which are still unissued, the secretary declines to place them 0 nsale at this time, as the govern- ment does not need the money, and their purchase by the banks and pub- le would tie up additional millions at & time when the money i8 most needed ‘luwhere. CASE OF “KARL HAU. Burprising Featuru Continue to Come to Light. Karlsruhe, Germany, Aug. 2.—The case of Professor Karl Hau, formerly of Washington, D. 0., convicted of the murder of his mother-n- law, Frau Mo- liter, at Baden Baden Nov. 5 last, con- tinues to develop surprising features. Dr. Dietz, counsel for the prisoner, has Just published a pamphlet giving what he terms his moral justification for ap- pealing the case. The lawyer's repre- sentations make the suicide of Frau Hau, wite of the condemned man, ap- pear in a new light. Mr. Dietz says he had four hours’ talk with her May 13, when she first made known her intention to commit suicide. Answer- ing his argument that it would create the fmpression that she regarded her husband guilty of murdering her moth- er Frau Hau sald repeatedly that the motive which prompted her to take her life was that her husband was in hig right mind and that without her knowledge he went to London and Baden Baden to meet her sister Olga, adding that it was not the question whether he was a murderer, but hia unfaithfulness to her which compelled her to commit sulcide, which it also waa her duty to do. Frau Hau added that she had at various times prayed to God to induce Hlu to commit suicide 'lt.h lnr. A few doses of this remedy will in- variably cure an ordinary attack of diarrheea.
