Tangier, Aug. 12.—The holy war In
Morocco has begun. From an Insur
rectlon and protest by arms against
being disciplined for murders, the trou
ble at Casa, Blanca resulted from
general campaign against Invasions by
Europeans, and armed fanatical Arabs,
fearless and conAdent In their faith,
are making attempts against General
Drude.
Fearful slaughter Is In progress. Ma
chine guns Inflict fearful losses on the
Arabs. Invariably, however, the
tribesmen rally after a repulse and
come back for more.
General Drude has asked for rein
forcements. declaring that with his
present force of 2,000 men his position
Is untenable. The number of the
tribesmen Is Increasing rapidly. Cour
iers are going about calling the Inhab
itants to war. The response Is Im
mediate. It Is likely that the war will
spread throughout Morocco and event
ually further.
ground Covered With Dead.
The Arabs made a determined at
tack on General Drbde’s forces yester
day. Mounted on horses the tribesmen
executed a picturesque, barbarlous ma
neuver, and then charged the French
troops, being reinforced by foot sol
dlery and bushwhackers. A fierce en
gagement ensued. Marine guns poured
an awful fire Into the natives. The
loss was heavy.
Dead Arabs are strewn all over the
ground and the fighting has kept up
so Insistently that time has not been
found to bury or cremate the dead.
Details of the looting during the lat
ter part of the wek'are coming out.
The fighting Is beyond the descriptions
sent In the meager reporta
Women and Children Killed,
One correspondent says that the
Spaniards first began looting, each
man guarding his own shop and pillag
ing his neighbors. Then the Hebrews
crept out of their places of hiding,
looting wherever they could. When
these had distributed throughout the
city, the ruin was complete. Not even
the San Francisco earthquake left the
scenes of horror that Casa Blanca pre
sented.
The Arabs also seemed possessed
with lust and the plunder-frenzy and
the wanton desire for destruction of
property and hordes of them went
through houses, destroying, burning,
murdering. Women and children were
killed and In many instances the Arabs
Clashed over booty. Many corpses with
great bullet wounds attest to the ac
tion of the long Arabian rifle at close
range.
The attempt to follow the tribesmen
and rescue 20J Hebrew girls, who were
carried off, has been abandoned tem
porarily, for the troops have all they
can do to hold their own position
without attacking.
Young Men’s Prohibition League.
There wl)l be a meeting of the Young
Men’s Prohibition League at 512 Pru
dential building Monday evening at S
o'clock sharp. All members are urged
to be present, as very Important busi
ness Is to be brought up.
BUSY WEEK AHEAD
IF ASSEMBLY WOULD
COMPLETE WORK
House Faces Several Im
portant Bills This
Week.
.With only six more days of the pres
ent fifty days’ session remaining, the
lower house of the general assembly
convened Monday morning with more
Important measures demanding consid
eration than ever a Georgia legislature
faced In one week before.
Realizing that an extra session was
Inevitable unless a whirl-wind finish
was made, the house put on tho high
speed gear last week and went through
the general tax act and the general ap
propriation bill In about one-third of
the time that is usually demoted to their
consideration.
Should no hitch In the program arise
during the present week and should no
lengthy dobate ensue during the dis
cussion ef the pending measures, the
house probably will be able to dispose
of the Important measures which are
demanding consideration. Among theso
are the disfranchisement bill, the bill
to enlarge the powers and Increase the
number of the railroad commission, tho
general deficiency bill and the bill to
Increase the fee for fertilizer Inspec
tion.
The house takes up the disfranchise
ment bill Monday, as It has already
passed the senate. Of all the measures
now pending. It will In all probability
precipitate the hardest fight and will
meet with the most stubborn opposi
tion In the house.
Voter’s Qualifications.
In addition to the qualifications now
required for voting, the bill prescribes
that the would-be voter must be eli
gible under at least one of the follow
Ing provisions:
First—All persons who served In any
war of the United States, the Confed
erate States or the etate of Georgia; or
Second—All persons lawfully de
scended from any such soldiers; or
Third—All persona of good character
who understand the duties and obllga
tlons of citizenship; or
Fourth—All persons who can read
correctly and who can write correctly
when read to them In the English lan
guage any paragraph of the constltu
;ion of the United States or the state
of Georgia; or
Fifth—Any person who Is the owner
of forty acres of land on which he
lives; or
Sixth—Any person who owns five
hundred (500) dollars' worth of prop
erty In the state of Georgia as shown
by the tax digest.
This bill has been recommended for
passage by the committee on constltu-
tonal amendments.
Mr. Hall, bf Bibb, Is opposed to the
measure and has a disfranchisement
bill which ho asserts will meet the re
quirements better than the Wllllams-
Felder bill. He asserts that the Dill
recommended for passage by the com'
mittee will not only disfranchise ne'
groes but will prohibit a number of
white men In this state from casting
their ballots. i , '
Mr. Hall did not press hla bill before
the committee but will offer It as a
substitute for tho Wllllams-Felder bill
and will make a hard fight for It In the
house. ■> * •
It Is generally believed that the bill
os recommended by the committee will
ultimately pass the house, but the dis
cussion of It may last through Tues
day.
From the length of time which the
house has wrangled over other con
tested bills, It eoema proboblo that an
extra session may be necessary If all
the Important measures are disposed
of, unless the pace set last week Is
maintained until next Saturday night.

In hiding behind a tree, sprang behind
Fred Bennett and felled him with the
butt end of a revolver. Then as young
Bennett regained his feet Kinney
whipped out another gun and made the
brothers take to their heels. Kinney
grabbed the frail girls by the arms and
started to drag them int.0 the woods
close by the road.
They fought with their hands and
teeth and screamed. Amelia Walllon,
the younger girl, finally tore loose from
Kinney’s grasp but he drew his revolv
er on her and made her stop. Mean
while Miss Iplofen picked up a handful
of dust' which she courageously threw
Into Kinney's oyes and blinded him.
Screaming at the top of their voices,
the girls fled to the home of Mrs. Bet-
nett, mother of the two boys. The
girls begged her to protect them from
Kinney, who followed them. Mrs. Ben
nett opened fire on Kinney, but her
five shots missed their mark. Kin
ney ran at the first shot and has not
been captured. ,

CARDINAL SAYS LAWYERS
SHOULDN’T DEFEND CRIMINALS
New York, Aug. 12.—Heavier penal
ties tor lawbreakers In New York is the
remedy suggested by Cardinal Gibbons
to end the crime wave In New York.
The highest dignitary of the Catholic
church, who Is resting at Southamp
ton, L. I., expressed himself as follows;
“As a remedy for the crime wave now
sweeping through New York city, I
would suggest that penalties bo im
posed that will be commensurate with
the crime. The principal preventive to
such sentences being Imposed to bo
carried out lies In the fact that able.
Influential lawyers lend themselves to
the defense of the criminals «»'< the
crime and through astuteness secure
In a majority of the cases either acquit
tal or a nominal fine."
