ABDEL DEFEATED
Usurper Proclaimed Sultan ol
Morocco at Tangier.
Desertion of Troops to Standard ol
Pretender and Betrayal Causes of
Sultan's Downfall Moroccan Mud
die Not Over.
The defeat of the biiltnn of Moroc
co, Abdel Aziz, by the forces ol
his brother, Mulal llafltl, tins been
confirmed. The sullan of record was
surprised on the night of Aug. 19, and
most of his troops deserted to the side
of the usurping sultnn after the firing
of n few shots. Iteports Indicate that
the defeat of Abdel Aziz was due
largely to the betrayal of his own
tribesmen. Mulal Hand hns been pro
claimed sultan of Morocco at Tnnglei
and announcement of the proclamation
has been telegraphed to nil parts of
the country. All the ofllclnls who pre
viously have been under the rule of
Abdel Aziz In this city declare that
they have accepted Mulal Hafld ae
their leader, they making him supremo
in nil the large cities of Morocco.
Details of the battle show that Ab
del Aziz had an army numbering the
superior of the enemy, but thnt his
artillery either failed to work or was
deliberately tampered with. Some ol
the guns . exploded, throwing tho
tribesmen Into n pnnlc. The vnst
majority of these seized the oppor
tunity to flee during the engagement
nnd general pillage broke out, many
of the tribes seeking to carry off as
much booty as possible.
Abdel Aziz and his escort retreated
In an orderly manner to Setat, his
army being pursued by the victorious
troops of Mulal Hafld. Abdel Aziz
was accompanied In his flight by the
grnnd vizier, the minister of foreign
nffairs, the French mHitary mission
nnd two British officers.
A Tangier speclnl stated that a Brlt
Isli officer and several French officers
were missing. It is said the former
biiltnn will proceed to Qisnblancn,
and that he Intends to go to Damas

Says People Have Ruled Through Re
publican Party.
"The people have ruled through tho
Republican parly." This Is W. 11
Tuft's answer to Mr. Br yap's chal
lenge, "Shall the People Hule?"
The answer was made in an address
the Republican presidential candidate
made before a gathering of hevernl
thousand Virginia Republicans, who
came to the mountains to see nnd henr j
him and celebrate "Virginia day." To
make his point perfectly clem, Mr.
Taft referred to the first election of
William McKlnley as "one of the most
intelligent and effective expressions
or popular will over manifested to the
world and the maintenance or the
gold standard and n protective tariff
by bis administration was n correct
interpretation oi tho people's will.
This was shown to be so," he con
tinued, "by even a grenter majority
for the party In 1!I00, and a still great
er majority In 1004, when Roosevelt
was elected, nnd," he added, "we
may well submit to the country
whether his administration lias noL

Agitation is Started for a Con

Plan to Have Permanent School Fund
Invested in Nebraska Bends Legis
lative Records Are Missing Bad
Wreck on the Burlington.
Lincoln, Aug 23. The recent puhll
cation of figures showing how ,e
braskn had nearly five million dollars
of state money Invested in stale nnd
county bonds In other states has
caused an agitation to be started for
a constitutional amendment providing
that the permanent school fund may
be invested within the state of Ne
braska in the future.
One latter has tome to the stnte
treasurer suggesting thnt the nltenlloa
of the next legislature bo brought to
the existing condition. The letter,
which Is written by n North Platte
banker, snys 'here are hundreds of
school districts and small towns con
tinually selling good bonds In No
brnFka. nnd suggests thnt the state's
money should be available for this
purpose.
Several others have taken up the
matter and Governor Sheldon probn
bly will be n&ked to make a recom
mendation that an amendment be sub
mitted to the people, with a view to
making It possible to Invest this 1m
menee sum In Nobrnska bonds and
thereby keeping the money nt home
EQUALIZATION A BIG JOB
Terminal Tax Assessment the Most
Troublesome of Any.
Lincoln, Aug. 21. The stnte board
of- enunllzatlun met and discussed the
equalization of rnllroad property tin
der the provisions of the terminal tax
law.
In the matter of the terminal as
sessment tli u board has a big job. as
the assessment returned by the coun
ty officers varies considerably Some
of the assessors returned the North
western property at tho figures given
them b the road, which were in ex
cess of the value of the property,
while others mado reductions This
naUe It difficult for the board to
woik out a basis upon which to begin.
It Is practically settled, however, that
every town through which a railroad
runs will bo the gainer by reason of
the operation of tho terminal tax law
nnd not one single school district will
loje one dollar's worth of ralhoad
property by the operation of the ter
minal tax law. ' '
STATE RESTS INJUNCTION CASE
Will Stand on Evidence Presented by
Express Company.
Lincoln, Aug. 21. Tho statu will
stand on the evidence already sub
mitted ln the Injunction case against
tho Adams Express company. Attor
ney General Thompson considers that
the company Itselr hns presented evi
dence which is better than anything
he enn produce. This evidence Is no
exhibit made by the company, In
which Is shown a comparative state
ment of receipts for last year and tlilu
year. While It shows a reduction in
receipts and an increase In expense,
the legal department will contend that
It simply sIiowh that the company
overchaiged the public In June, 1908,
when Its receipts showed n net earn
ing of 4.1 per cent on Its capital
stock, or a yearly earning of nearly
CO per cent. The legal department
will attempt to show that It was be
cause of this Immense earning ca
pacity that the Sibley law was vn
actod. CONFESSES WHOLESALE THEFTS
