Aldemen Meeting
Postponed a Week
As there is only one council room in
the city haU in which the municipal
boards can meet, and as this is the
regular meeting night for the school
board, the meeting of the board of al
dermen, which was called for tonight,
will not be held, it being impo&sible,
by a fixed law of nature, for two bodies
to occupy the same space at the same
time.
The school board has the prece
dence, and the aldermen must stand
aside.
The latter will meet Monday night,
next, September 11th, at which time
the paving adjustment matter will,
it is hoped, be disposed of.
The SoutJiern Power Company was
not ready to meet with the board to
night, so the postponement of the
meeting until Monday next suited all
parties.
Prize Contest To
Jake Place Oct 1
At a most enthusiastic meeting of
the Camera Club of the boys’ depart
ment of the Young Men’s Christian
Association last night the work of the
club in its new quarters was mapped
out for the coming session. A ten.-
porary house committee, composed
of the following members Alexander
Halliburton, Reynolds Cuthbertson
Claude Squires was chos?tj to draw up
a set of rules to govern the members
in the use of the new rooms, and pre
sent them at an adjourned meeting of
the club on Friday night. Sept. 15, at
which time they will be voted upon
and a permanent organization formed,
officers for the following year will also
be elected.
On account of the absence of sever
al members of the club from the city,
it ’vas voted to extend the prize con
test to Oct. 1, so as to give all an equal
chance to compete.
The cJub is just moving into a suite
of three rooms, a reception room, dariv
room, and printing room, which have
recently been fitted up for their use,
and added to the doys’ department.
As these rooms are fitted up with
even- convenience for carrying on tha
work, the club ip looking forward to a
most successful season's work.

Chica.go, Sept. ,5.—Calling off all
bets on the Gotch-Hackenschniidt
wrestling match yesterday has raised
a storm of protests by those who had
money up on the winner.
Herman F. Schuettler, assistant
chief of police, explained the action
was that the police were determined to
stamp out gambling in the city,
by saying that such proceduue was
customary. An added reason, he said,
‘‘Referee Smith,” Chief Schuettler
explained, “proposed that the bets be
called off. His reason was that in
case the match turned out to be a
poor one, as it did, there w'ould be
a tremendous “squawk from the bet
ters and the wrestling game would
receive a serious setback in Chicago.
You understand it is quite customary
to call bets off in events of this kind.
It has little effect, as the betters will
back their opinions regardless of the
announcement.
“I do not think this match was
crooked. But it was a fiasco, becatise
the men were not evenly matched.
“Because one man w-asn’t up • to
standing the gaff this crowd paid over
$100,000 to see twenty minutes of in
different sport. The next big matrb,
If there Is one, must he preceded by
a guarantee arranged so that the pub
lic can be satisfied there wll be a real
contest. Otherwise wrestling will be,
as I have said, a dead card in Chica
go.”
Society Women
Attended Bout
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Sept. 5.—For perhaps the
first time in Chicago, society w'omen
attended a wrestling bout. A large
box party in the upper grandstand
Mrs. Hobart C. Chatfield-Taylor, Mrs.
George * McLaughlin, Mrs. Edward
Moore, Mrs. Robert McGann, and Mrs.
Winston saw the Gotch-Hacken
schmidt contest.
Mrs. Chatfield-Taylor voiced the sen
timent of all the members of her party
regarding the match. “It was a most’
dramatic event,” she said, “and, al
though somewhat disappointing in its
shortness. I am glad I went. Tho
huge crowd, the boundless enthusiasm
and the open air arena with its pow
erful exponents of brawn, was a sight
to be remembered.”

Would Settle
Moroccan Dispute
By Associated Press.
Berlin, Sept. 5.—The German For
eign Minister, Herr von Kiderlen-
Waechter and the French ambassa
dor, M. ('ainbon, met here to discuss
Trance's proposals to Germany look
ing to a setlcment of the Moroccan
dispute.
The impression continues to prevail
among German states'men that the
chief difficulties in the negotiations
will be experienced over the problem
of adequate guarantees for the main
tenance of Germany’s economic status
in me Moroccan empire, it being the
belief that the questions of French po
litical predominance in Morocco and
compensation to Germany in the shape
of concession of territory in the French
Congo are of easier airangement. The
resumption of tho Franco-German ne
gotiations did'not create optimism on
the bourse, the tone being generally
v.e'ik.
The French ambr-sador, whose “ill
ness,“ it is intimated, was due to the
reluctance of France to resume the ne
gotiations on the anniversary of her
defeat at Sedan, callcd at the foreign
oflfico and communicated in a short in
terview wi h the foreign minister, the
decisions of the French cabinet. Ger
many’s. reply to the proposals is ex
pected shortly.
No public statement was issued
relative to the interview between
the Frcnch ambassador and the Ger
man foreign minister.
Herr von Kidei-Waechter had re-
ouested Me&srs. Wolffram and Barth-
tholdt to call upon him for an in
formal talk half an hour before the
larewell Incheon given in honor of
the retiring American ambssador,
Hr. Hill, 'i'ho foreign minister disous-
r-ed the ecneral course taken by the
Moroccan negotiations since the Al-
geciras conference, including Ger
many’s difficulties with France in se
curing commercial and economic equal
ity in Morocco, and the subsequent
infractions of the Algeciras treaty by
France. The ministry was of the
opinion that, while some diriiculties
might be met wirh the negotiations
probably would end in the recognition
( France’s political predominance in
Morocco and in guaranteeing Germany
economi.. opportunities in ^Morocco,
which must of necesisty insure her sup-
})lies of raw material particularly
iron, for the future, as well as the
transfer to Germany of a slice of the
French Congo as comnensation.
Herr von Kiderlen-Waechter said
he considered the question of raw
materials very important, but not
important enough to justify war,
adding that a chancellor who appear
ed before the Reichtag in defense oE
hostilities- ■•oinmenced for the sake of
v; Morocc.a.n sand hills would have
ai. unenviable task.

IMPORTERS’ TACTICS.
The ways of the importers are
strange and incomprehensible to the
man in the street.
New York papers have been spec
ulating on the reasons that led fruit
importers to ship thousands of boxes
of lemons from Sicily to New York
and then re-export them to Canada,
Hamburg, and other foreign markets.
One explanation was that this was
done while the tariff fight was on in
Washington, and lemons being too
cheap in eastern markets to permit
the importers to allege that the tariff
was shoving prices up too high, they
tried to create a scarcity by diverting
lemons to other, and more profitable
markets, and cause the price in New’
York to go high enough to give them
an argument. They showed, incidental
ly, how completely they control the
market and how easily they could ma
nipulate prices if they had free entry
and could thereby keep the domestic
product “beyond the Mississippi,” as
they formerly did before the enact
ment of the Payne-Aldrich bill.
