Berlin cablegram: The absence of any definite acceptance of Germany's Moroccan plans in the French note received Friday increases war pros­ pects. German statesmen believe that France and England are intriguing for war with the kaiser. Germany's intenti6ns remain thor­ oughly pacific, but government circles her# apprehend the possibility that in­ trigues will result in inflaming* the French people against Germany to such an extent war cannot be easily avoided. The French note, owing to.Ks great }ength, had to be sent by. mail to Ber­ lin instead of by telegraph. The for­ eign office, while declining to discuss the points of the note in detail, ad­ mits that it leaves the situation where it was before. Germany's answer to Premier Rou- •vler has not yet been considered. It will require considerable time in order to meet all the points raised. ILLINOIS MINEWORKERS ill OFFER TO ARBITRATE FRANCE PEARS CLASH. Paris cable: In spite of the'reas­ suring tone of the official communica­ tion issued after the cabinet council, public uneasiness was accentuated over the strained relations between France and Germany. This produced panicky sentiment on the bourse, where heavy offers of rentes sent down prices to the unusual figure of 97.90, Parliamentary circles also continued to show a feeling of nervousness and apprehension. This was increased by the publication in the sensational afternoon papers of maps showing the dispositions of the French and German military forces along the frontier, ac­ companied by interviews setting forth the gloominess of the situation and the belief that Germany's reply to the French note would increase the diffi­ culties of the government. Press Is Disappointed. The evening newspapers frankly ex­ press their disappointment with the French note..... Much had been staked upon Premier Rouvier's ostensible wish to come to an understanding with Germany, but the Vossiscbe Zei- tung, discussing the note, says M. Rouvier is continuing M. Delcasse's policy without M. Delcasse. The newspapers all emphasize the fact that the French note leaves the differences where they were before regarding their bearings upon the pro­ jected Moroccan conference. It is re­ marked that M- Rouvier has just suc­ ceeded in leaving the room for an ac­ ceptance of the conference if this be­ comes absolutely necessary. Warns France to Keep Cool. The Journal des Debats and other important evening papers strongly counsel the public to preserve calm and coolness, urging the people as a public duty to give their moral sup­ port to the government. A semi-official statement has ap­ peared summing up the main features of the French note. It said that, in­ stead of seeking to avoid a conference, the note invites an exchange of views, thus distinctly showing that France does not reject the principle of a con­ ference. The note further explains French policy in Morocco, thus meet­ ing Germany's complaint that she had heretofore been deprived of informa­ tion relative to the development of Morocco. Imposition to Operators to Allow ernor Deneen to Settle' Dispute Over Shot-Firers. Springfield, 111., dispatch: The Stat* executive board of the United Mine Workers of America has offered til# Illinois Coal Operators' association to submit to arbitration the question whether the miners, by asking for & shotfirer law, had violated their agreement with the coal operators' as­ sociation, as claimed by the operators* The offer to arbitrate is made with the understanding that if the decision be in the affirmative the miners shall reimburse the operators for wages paid the shot-flrers required by the law, but should the decision be in the negative the operators are to continue operating their mines under the exist­ ing agreement and furnish shot-flrers.

CORPORATIONS TO BE TRIED Mr. Roosevelt Bides With Attorney General as Against Special Counsel and Directs That Companies Be Brought Into Court. >• i Washington dispatch: Paul Morton will not be prosecuted for violating the anti-rebate law while lie was an official of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad*. Neither will any of the general officers of that com­ pany. ' , / Because President Roosevelt! de­ clined to permit such prosecution, Messrs. Judson Harmon and Frederick N. Judson, special counsel employed by the government to prosecute the Santa Fe company, withdrew from the case. - ( President Roosevelt*' decided, ..be could not proceed against Paul* Mor­ ton and other Santa Fe officials be­ cause not a shred or evidence had been taken to prove that the general officers of the Santa Fe had guilty knowledge of the violation of the anti- rebate law. ' Favored Prosecution. In reaching this decision President Roosevelt disapproved the recom­ mendations of Messrs., Harmon and Judson. The whole correspondence in the affair reveals the fact that on Feb. 28 last Messrs. Harmon and Judson expressed the opinion that the report of the interstate commerce commis­ sion in the matter of the alleged uu- lawful rates and practices in the trans­ portation of coal and mine supplies by the Santa Fe road was fully justi­ fied by the evidence. They, declared that "no immunity from prosecution can be claimed for any officer by company," meaning the Santa Fe and Colorado Fuel and Iron company, and while Paul Morton was not mentioned by name the inference is plain that Messrs. Harmon and Jud­ son believed that he should be includ­ ed among those prosecuted,j not under the Elkins law, which does not permit imprisonment, but under contempt pro­ ceedings, which would enable the sen­ tence of a fine and imprisonment. Evidence of Guilt Lacking. Attorney General Moody differed with Messrs. Harmon and Judson re­ garding the avisability of prosecuting the officials of the Santa Fe, asserting in the cases of Mr. Ripley, president of the road, and of Pp.ul Morton, then one of its vice presidents, that there was not one word of testimony to show they had any connection whatever with the departure from the published rates In favor of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, .*or that they knew or suspected that transportation was furnished to this company in any man­ ner different, from that prescribed by the open and published rate. Attorney General Moody added that, in his opinion, the corporation only should be prosecuted. Messrs. Har- mOn,; and Judson responded, however, that great corporations cannot be imprisoned and that punishment by fine is not only inadequate, but reach­ es the culprits only lightly, If at all. The evils with which they ware Son- fronted. tjhey said, were corporate in name, but individual in fact, and they stated epi grammatically that guilt is always personal. In view of their per­ sonal independent responsibility they did not regard proceedings against the corporation alone as enough to war^ rant their continuance in the aervic* of the government. Protects Santa Fe Official* Attorney General Moody makes out a strong case for the officials of the -Santa Fe in a letter to the president dated June 3, and on June 12 the president approved his views. Presi­ dent Roosevelt stands firmly behind Paul Morton. In his letter to the pres­ ident Mr. Morton denied most unequi­ vocally that he ever had any knowl­ edge whatever of the unlawful prac­ tices on the part of the Santa Fe, and Afy quotation of documents issued un­ der his direction showed that all such practices were specifically forbidden by him and that he repeatedly, had called the attention of his subordi­ nates to the necessity of complying with the law in this respect. "When there is thus not one shadow of testimony against him and when whatever evidence has been submit­ ted shows explicitly that he is not guilty," the president concludes, "it .seems to me there is no warrant what­ ever for our proceeding against him." President Roosevelt directs, how­ ever, that contempt proceedings be intuguarated against the Santa Fe Company, the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and the International Har­ vester company. If, as the case is de­ veloped, testimony should show'that individual officers personally are guilty of |he violation of law, pro­ ceedings Will be instituted against them.

"LAZY WORM" IN PORTO RICO Ninety-five Per Cent of Island Resi­ dents Have Queer Disease. Washington dispatch: According to a report received by the surgeon general of the army from Capt. B. K.
