to Casablanca.
TANGIER. Aug. 1. 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. An vices receivea Dy tne loreign or-

LONDON, Aug. 1. In convention at
Exeter, th British medical association has
almost unanimously supported a contention
advanced by a member that sick peopl
should be treated at public expense.
In discussing the idea th points wer
made that the physician's work Is now
done under conditions Involving the petty
worries of fee collection, th stress of
competitive commercialism and Ui sweat
ing of th profession by hospitals, friendly
societies and similar organisations.
The Increasing number of cases treated
at voluntary or stat aided Institutions was

HUMILIATION FOR NATION
Congressman Jenkins Feels it in
North Carolina Episode.
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.
"Kfarflmg this great government-that has
cost so many generations so much to msvk

TULSA, I. T., Aug. 1. Republicans of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory met here
In convention today to adopt a platform,
to decide the question of naming a full
list of officials for the proposed new state
of Oklahoma and to select a chairman of
the state central committee. The con
vention will also take some action regard
ing ths recent constitution that I to . be
put to a vote of th people September I.
A light is likely over the selection of a
state chairman. 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. Governor Frank Fronts, whose
forces seem to b In control, has sug
gested Hunter, but the letter's candidacy
ha brought out some opposition. Hunter's
selection. It I asserted, wHI mean an en
dorsement of President Roosevelt for the
presidential nomination In 1S08.
Frank Franta, ths present governor of
Oklahoma, has no opposition for the nom
ination of governor of th new state and
ho will probably be named by acclamation.
A fight may occur over the question of
putting a full stat ticket In the field,
some antl-Franta delegates opposing such
a course. It is believed, however, that a
majority will favor a full ticket. There
are practically no contests for th offices
under governor and th following ticket Is
slated to go through:
Lieutenant governor, N. G. Turk, Che

LODZ, Aug. l.-This city today was
again the scene of a strike movement ac
companied by violence, disorder and death.
The troops yesterday encountered the strik
ers In the center of the town and mini
1 thirty men were killed or wounded In thi
fight alone. Business Is at a standstill. In
spite of the aggressive stand taken by th
authorities the disorders recommenced
early today.
The strike Is serious; It would appear to
be the beginning of a big labor war and
the workmen's unions ar prepared for 11
long struggle. The Immediate cause of
the outbreak yesterday was the course
pursued by the police during the last eight
duys In making a largo number of ar
rests In attempting to break up the unions.
The principal socialist leaders have been
thrown into Jail. The police have ben
so energetic In their measures against th
unions that they have united the social
democrats, the Polish socialists and th
nationalist patties, which, up to the pres
ent time, have been waging a merciless
war, accompanied by dally murders and
outrages, among themselves.
Forced Hnslnena to Ceas.
A general strike lias been declared and
the social democrats and the Polish social
ists have called out 32,000 men. The na
tionalists have been forced to Join, th
committee of the amalgamated unions. Tha
committee hus ordered that all business In
Iv1x cease. Stores have been told to
close and the power housei of th electrlo
traction system has shut down. The com
mittee Is enforcing its orders with armed
J men and several shop keepers who r-
f ised to shut up have been shot.
Yesterday bands of laborers were sent
out in the city to wreck street cars. This
they did in a number of cases and later
they used the cars as barricades from
which to stone the police.' During tha
calling out of the strikers one factory fore
man and two shopkeeper were killed and
, . .n .,.njDH
two laborers were mortally wounaea
The disorders grew as the day wore on.
At 3 o'clock In the afternoon th military
forces were mobilised, but ther wa no
engagement with, the workmen until S
o'clock last night. At this hour th op
posing forces cam together in th center
of the town. The fighting was serious and
prolonged. The workmen flred several
hundred shots from automatic pistols and
did not disperse until they had been
charged by cavalry.
Thirty Men Killed.
At least thirty men were killed or
wounded, Ambulances at once cleared the
