RALEIGH, N. C, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1909. PRICE 5 CENTS . EDITIO ) MOORS AGAIN SWEEP DOWN ON SPANISH ARMY Terrific Attacks Made Today Upon tbe Spanish Army at Melilla SPANISH HEED IN Spanish Arniy at Melilla, Hemmed In by Force ,of Moors, Numbering Them Two to One, is Battling Pes perately Under a New Attack Is Only a Question of Tim-.' Until Me. lillu Must Fall Unless RO.OMO Troops Are Rushed In From Spain. Flame of Race Hatred Has Again Swept the Country and All Are Joining in the Holy War. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Lisbon, July 31 Hemmed In by a forre of Moors outnumbering them more than five to one. the Spanish army at Melilla is todav battling des perately under a new attack. Again and again the tribesmen swept down from the hills, picking off the Euro peans as they rode like centaurs. Each attack was more terrific than the last and it seems only a question of hours till Melilla must fall unless 50,000 troops ore rushed from Spain. That is tbe news contained in the dispWhes which are coming, from the north coast of Africa or escaping the censors at Madrid. By devious ways information reaches the public. The world today is depending on underground routes for the real news of the two Span ish crises at home and In Africa, Spain is trying to hide her losses. The flame of race hatred has again swept through Morocco, and the en tire country Is ready to join in the holy war. It Is expected that within a few days 200,000 or more tribes " men will be In the field. Fully one-third that many have al ready taken arms against the Spanish and have concentrated about Melilla or are on the way there. The other settlements of Spain along the Afri can coast are In danger, and attacks are already reported. Even France fears an attack in her territory. Against this force there Is but the handful of soldiers in the beselged towns which has been on the defen sive for days, since the disastrous ex pedition which led to tbe death of General Pinto and the decimation of his forces. The Spanish dead and in jured, according to trustworthy ad vices, already number between 4,000 and 5,000. The original force con sisted of only 8,000 men. Rebellion was rife among the troops when the trouble started. !n all the garrison there were but a few loyal companies. But there is no tinge of insubordination or treachery now. The men realize that they are not fighting for Spaiu, but for their lives. There is no way of escape for them unless adequate help arrives imme diately. Before them lies the moun tain ranges of northern Africa, en circling the town. Behind them is the sea. There are not enuogh ves sels at hand to transport them to safety, even should they mutiny and seize all available ships. Stretching In a thin, attenuated line four miles long is the Spanish force, drawn up before the walls of Melilla. Before them are the Moors, entrenched on Mount Qurguru, where they hold their position valiantly in spite of heavy losses from artillery tire. The gunners of the cruiser Nu mancia have failed to dislodge them. There Is no peace before Melilla. Down from the mountain come the Moors projectiles of flesh and blood. As they lash at a terrific clip, the thunder of their horses' hoofs is Itunctiiated by a running staccato Are from their long rtffes. They ride with the ease of American (jowboys; they fire with the deadllness of the Boer sharpshooters; they fight with the cunning of red Indians and the daring and recklessness of fanatics. They are fighting for the Crescent, and he who dies in that cause is as sured eternal happiness. The government, fears a renewal of hostilities in the Barcelona district because the troops heretofore have shown, a great reluctance to shoot down the rioting strikers. The gov ernments fears that the soldiers will break out In sheer mutiny and com panies of them may even join the forces of the rioters. Transports, are carrying soldiers ou of Spain and Into Morocco as rapidly as they can be mobilized and tbe tear is now growing in offi cial circlet that there will soon be , . . - : v in sufficient troops left to quell a gen eral uprising. x The consular agent at Palmas In his report today says that Leroux is supposed to be at Bordeaux. The Spanish government is endeavoring to make him prisoner and every por is being watched by government agents to prevent his leaving the country. At Madrid King Alfonso is trying to placate his people. Despite the warnings of his prime minister he Insists on walking in the streets The people howl in derision at his presence but he affects not to notice it. Cabinet meetings are held con tinuously In the Spanish capital and in vain has Premier Maura sa light to resign and allow a military cabinet to put down, the troubles with the iron hand of soldiery and despotism The king received a wounded office from Melilla and heard from him first hand the story of conditions in Mo- rocco. He was very grave during the recital and plied the officer with ques tions. Women and girls in Barcelonia aided the incendiaries to fire the mon asteries and nunneries. "Down with the church, scream ed the mob. When the nuns tried to escape the rioters drove them back with curses into the burning build ings. Whistling and singing the "Mar seillaise" tue rioting workmen surged through the streets. Seme of them bore poles with human heads and trunks impaled thereon. Some of the troops absolutely refused to fire on the revolutionists while the loyal soldiers mowed them down wi'li a raking fire from their machine guna, FIRE THREATENS JAPANESE CITY (By cable to The Times.)

JESSE MASON IS Governor Kltchln today granted s pardon to Jesse Mason, of New Han over county, convicted at the July term 1805, of the crime of highway robbery and sentenced to six years in the state prison. The governor's reasons for pardon are as follows: "Prisoner and two others were con victed of highway robbery. The other boys were sentenced to twelve months' Imprisonment each. Prisoner being older than the others, was sentenced for six years on the theory that he was the leader. The prosecuting witness asks for his pardon, and writes that he does not think prisoner was the leader. The solicitor also thinks that one of other boys was stronger minded than prisoner. The judge and the attorney who aided the solicitor and eleven of the jurymen (the other being dead) recommend pardon. His record in pris on Is good, having been there for over four years. I therefore pardon the young man on condition that he remain law abiding and of good behavior." PRESIDENT GETS $25,000 EXPENSE (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, July 31. When the sen ate met at noon today the urgent defi ciency bill was taken up. The item of $25,000 for the president' traveling ex penses was passed without objection.

He withheld the point while Senator Borah, of Idaho, moved to re duce the Balariea.

July 31 The first in dication of the feeling against free hides and the lowering of the duty on coal and iron ores, cropped out im mediately alter t lie house met at 10 o'clock this morning. At live minutes past 10 Represen tative Payne, of New York, called up the conference report and asked unanimous consent that his statement, be read instead of the report. Representative Mondell, of Wyom ing, one of the anti-free raw material republicans, promptly objected. The clerk proceeded with the read- Rig of the report. Notwithstanding the threats ut tered by numerous insurgents in the house that they will vote against the adoption of the conference report on the tariff hill, the opinion of the leaders of the bouse is that the re port will be adopted before adjourn ment of the house today. It Is not improbable That, ten or more repub licans may vote with the democrats. After the clerk hud read tor about two and a half hours. Representative Payne renewed his motion to dis pense with the reading of the report This was done. Representative Dalzell, of Pennsyl vania, reported the special rule of the committee on rules providing that no point of order should hold against any provision in the bill, and that a vole be taken not later than x o'clock tonight. The rules provided that members should have leave to print. on the report. By a standing vote of 1 50 to Hi the previous question was ordered Representative Dalzell then made a brief statement relative to the duty on boots and shoes, which made necessary the rule. Representative Clark, of Missouri, asked if there was any other item in the bill on which the duties had been increased be yond that contained in the bill as it passed the house and the senate. Representative Dalzell replied that he believed not and added that no tariff bill has ever given complete satisfaction to everybody, but he be lieved the bill would bring prosperity to the country. Representative Payne said he luul never favored free raw material. He repudiated that doctrine and had al ways done so, as It was no part of his political creed. Discussing the corporation tax he ad mitted it was accepted in-order to beat the Income tax. He said that while the house would have preferred an Inheri tance tax, under the circumstances the acceptance of the corporation tax was Justified.

I By Cable to the Tiiuexl Friedrichaliafeu, July ::i -The big Hi-ilium dirigible balloon Zeppelin II left here early today for Hie Frank fort air navigation exposition, a dist ance of 220 miles away. The start was made under perfect conditions and the balloon got away at :!:4P o'clock. The weather was clear and every promise was given of a success- lul flight. It was over an hour be fore the Zeppelin 11 was heard from and at 5:20 she was reported at Clin, in Wueitemberg, having made Hie intervening miles in one hour and .'ill minutes. At nietigheim, Where I he balloon was reported at 10:2(1 o'clock, the Zeppelin struck a storm of wind and hail and her speed was necessarily slackened. It required five hours time to make the Simile separating this city from U4M: frequent gusts bore the bullwott iionr"hr -course. ' (Jreeted With Ovation. Frankfort, Germany, July :il A tremendous ovation greeted Count, Zeppelin and his seven companions today when they alighted from the great dirigible balloon In which they had travelled from Freidrichshafen, n distance of more than 220 miles. The patriotism of the great,, exposition crowds was stirred lo the highest pitch when the world's biggest air ship was Hist discerned, slunding out a tiny black sped against the distant sky-line. Inn rapidly assuming size and shape as its mighty propellers swept it swiftly on. When the occupants finally became visible the enthusiasm of the thous ands of onlookers, most of whom had never before seen an airship of any description broke all bounds and their frantic cheers, mingled with the blasts of the city's whistles and the ringing of the bells in tumult that brought the hats from the heads of all the occupants of the balloon com part ment, except that of the grizzled count himself, in sweeping waves of recognition. Count Zeppelin sat grimly at his post directing the movements of the great craft and until it had alighted with the apparent ease and grace of a monster bird, he had attention for nothing but the sensitive levers with which he controlled its every movement.- When it was safely anchored to earth, however, a smile swept over his ordinarily stern, military face. and waving his hands to the tumultu ously cheering crowds which were threatening to overrun the car in their enthusiasm, he cried out: "Well, here we are. my friends, ill safe and sound." The first noisily enthusiastic greet ings over the count talked briefly of his trip, saying that they had encoun tered no more formidable obstacles than contrary winds, but these had been sufficiently strong to almost halt them at times and thai under more favorable conditions they would have arrived much earlier. "However, all in all, it was a fair ly successful trip," he declared, "and helps to show that journeys in the air are now as feasible as they are on the earth." His companions were much more enthusiastic over the trip, declaring that it had gone so smoothly that they were at no time uncomfortable, even when the wind was at its worst. All declared that Count .Zeppelin's con trol of his giant craft was more per fect than that of any chauffeur they had ever seen over his automobile. American Killed In France.

It is be lieved that he will n cover. Tony was badly shaken up and bruised but escaped serious injury. The next, exciting incident came when Crosse, driving No. 5, lost con trol of his machine. The steering wheel became bent and before he could straighten out, the machine jumped the track and headed for a haniu. of trees.- The- spectators screamed wildly, expecting a catas trophe, but Gross and his mechani cian, Cole, managed to bring the ma chine to a stop in time.

S was the leader, with George Robertson, in No. S, second. Regardless of life and limb the two daring drivers engaged in thrilling duels, as Robertson, time and again, tried to make up the dis tance which separated him from the leader. His opportunity came, when, rounding a curve, the crank of De Palma s machine snapped. The accident necessitated his run ning his machine off the track and by the time the damage had been repair ed Robertson was fifty miles in the lead and whirling around the track at a pace which showed he was try ing after a new world's record. DePalnia, undaunted, set out after Hie Hying leader, and for the next several hours the spectators were kept on their feet in a frenzy of .ex citement.

C, July :!1 There are indications today that, after all the dickering and trading the con ference report on the tariff bill may not have smooth sailing through the senate. It is not Improbable that a filibuster may be started which will dely the final passage of the meas ure indefinitely. This filibuster is be ing organized by Senator Bailey and is prompted by the fact, that the con ference committee took cotton bag ging from the free list where it hud been placed by the senate through the efforts of the southern democrats and again placed upon the dutiable list. Senator Bailey declares that he will not consent to what he charac terizes as "this outrage" even at the cost of keeping congress in session until next December. His plan is to talk and keep the senate in session until the republicans yield. Bailey is in a position to consume a weeks' time himself, not upon cotton bag ging alone but upon other phases of the bill, and if he can arrange for a relay of six democrats each week the others can go away on their vacations and return when needed, they to talk until the majority will be glad to re store cotton bagging to the free list. Th.j binding twine of the northern farmer has been placed on the five list and his wheat and grain bears a duty. The cotton of the southern planter Is on the free list and the bagging necessary to enable him to harvest his crop is taxed. It is be cause of this inequality that the Bailey democrats intend to filibuster. Personally it is said that Bailey sees in this move an opportunity to reestablish himself in the good graces of his constituents. There are half a dozen or more long distance talk ers on the democratic side who may prolong the session many weeks. AERIAL RATE WAR ON IN ST. LOUIS (By Leased Wire to The Times) St. Louis, Mo., July 31 An aerial rate war is on. There is rivalry be tween the Aero Club of St. Louis and the Soulh St. Louis Aero Club.

"We'll meet the St. Louis Aero Club's rate and go under it," said an official of the South St. Louis Aero Club. The balloon passenger rate does not cover the return trip to St. Louis. if passengers alight 100 miles awny they will have to Tay their way back to St. Louis by rai or water.
