Dr. Merle, who ar rived here last night on the German ship which brought a number of Jews and other refugee from Casablanca, Is the bearer of a report to the French charge d'alTatrea here showing that the slaughter of Europeans In Casablanca was an out come of a holy war preached by the Arabs for the extermination of Europeans. On Monday a number of Arab chiefs entered Casablanca and demanded that the harbor Improvement work cease. The pasha of Casablanca pointed out that this work was being done with the sanction of th. sultan, .whereupon the chiefs reported that the sultan was no longer their ruler, as he obeyed the Chrlatlans. They then began to Incite the natives to exterminate all Jews and Europeans In the town. On Tuesday morning the natives began their attack by stoning a Eunppean and when this man tried to flee he was sur rounded and hacked to pieces. This was the signal for another attack, and as soon as the danger became known the French and Spanish residents rushed to their re spective consulates for prote tlon. During this flight at least eight were murdered. Forced Troops to Flight. M. d'Euvtlle, the French consul, de manded that the pasha provide an escort for the recovery of the bodies. The pasha pleaded at first that he had no cartridges, but upon further representations he Anally supplied an escort. When this rescue party, however, reached the scene of the attacks It was charged by a number of Arab cav alrymen and forced Into flight. In the meantime while the Jews and European, were taking refuge cn beard the German ship the Mussulman It gan to at tack the laborers employed on the harbor works. They fired on the shore boats and killed several men, whose bodies subse quently were burned.. Other workmen who tried to swim off to a ship were shot In the water. There was one German and one (French steamer In the harbor at Casa blanca when the German steamer pulled out. It is expected that Casablanca will be Invaded by 20,000 Arabs today. The French Cruiser Galilee, which left hem last night for- Casablanca, should Ar rive there today. Franco Sends Ultlmntum. PARIS. Aug, 1. The pasha oj Casablanca will answer with his head to the French government for the general security of the city. This Is the ultimatum which the French cruiser Galilee, due to reach Casa blanca this morning, is conveying. The French cruiser Forbln, now at the Axores, also has been ordered to proceed to Casablanca Immediately. Action by the French government will not, for the mo ment, go any further than this. The, GsJUee has been ordered to take on board all Eu ropeans desiring refuge. The French news papers generally demand that thev govern ment administer a lesson to the sultan. They declare that the Maghsen, or govern ing board, is directly responsible for the occurrences at Casablanca, as It persisted In maintaining the pasha there in spite of protests of the diplomatic corps at Tangier. The Eclair says It considers that France has been caught In a trap and that the oc cupation of Oudja by France has only served to fan Mussulman fanaticism with out demonstrating the power of the govern- j mem.

JUDICIARY MUST SATE UNION Cltlsens should Depend Vpon It No Matter What It Decision Deplore Government's Surrender, MILWAUKEE. Aug. l.-A special from Chippewa Falls, Wis., says: Congressman Jenkins, chairman of the house Judiciary committee, last night Issued a statement relative to th North Carolina railroad rate Imbroglio. He says there never has been any event since the civil war that calls for so sever condemnation as the recent senseless tirade on behalf of states against the nation. He adds that It Is humiliating that the matter has been compromised and that the nation has to some extent surrendered. The civil war was the result of such agitation and we may have earlier than we want another civil war, he said. To avert such a calamity and preserv the nation we must conform to the law, obey the law and hav the law enforced according to the frame work provided In the constitution." Judge Jenkins points out that the supreme court of the United States Is made the final Judge between state and nation. Mr. Jenkins believes the executive of a state should keep rool, maintain his dignity and remember we have to depend upon the Judiclary of the country to save the union. "Even since the civil war," he said, "other states have had similar troubles and did not make fools of themselves or declare war, and the question involved were decided by the supreme court and no bad results fol lowed." , Headed In Wromsr Direction. "If all state authorities are going to usurp functions of th supreme court and Judge what federal act shall be nullified, no one can tell where it will end." Mr. Jenkins says he Is opposed to weak ening the powers of both state and nation and calls attention to the fact that the state has the remedy In the supreme court If the nation encroaches upon its rights. "Why should state authority declare they will exercise every power at their command to prevent auch consummation?" he asks. "This is an unlawful attempt to oppose lawful efforts. "This continual talk about state authori ties resisting federal power by armed fore will sooner or later end in bloodshed, pos sibly In the disruption of union." In concluding Mr, Jenkins says that the supreme court of the United States may err. It may differ with the views of a great majority of the people, but, however that may be, the constitution says its decision Is final and must be regarded as the su preme law of the land and that Is what I must govern us. I "Better live under a wrong decision than ! amidst anarchy 'that must prevail In this. country if such state authority Is goinn. to disregard ' the constitution of the United ; States and asserts Its own power, right or j wrong, in defiance of the national power, ! thereby weakening and absolutely dlsre.

Th candidates are Charles Hunter of Oklahoma City, a former mem ber of the Roosevelt Rough Riders; James R. Cottlngham of Guthrie, Vernon Whiting of Enid and J. L. Hamon, the present chairman.
