(By Leased Wire to The Times)
NewbeUford, Mass., Aug. 14 The
red army of Invaders which must do
the attacking in the great war game
landed on Massachusetts soil at 9:00
sVa. m. today, under command of Major
General Tasker H. Bliss, U. S. A.
The 10.000 militiamen, from New
York, New Jersey, District of Co
lumbia, and Connecticut, were land
ed from the transports In record time,
and marched away to take up their
positions according to their secret
orders.
The blue army of defence, under
General Pew, consisting of 7,000
Massachusetts troops, today started
from all parts of the state to take
up their position along their 17-mile
hnttlo lino rif rinfpnflA hetweon Rns-
ton and the Invading armv.

chief , urn pi re, In charge of t he ma

' day and proceeded to Lanesville to
his headquarters on the While farm
This is 12 miles from Newbedford.
General Wood sent out aides to the
rival commanders asking for a con
' ference to be held before night at his
k headquarters.
General Bliss, commanding the red
army, was one of the first men to dis
embark. He set up temporary head
quarters in Fairhaven and pushed
along the landing work in the hurry-
up fashion. When the troops were
all landed he gave orders for the dif
ferent brigades and regimental com
manders to take up the positions as
directed 'in their secret orders.
Lanesville, near the headquarters
of General Wood, will be the scene of
fighting early Monday. Th's became
evident today when the Invading army
marched away to take up its position.
The invaders were watched in their
landing by more than 15.000 people
from Newbedford and nearby towns.
The New York,' New Jersey, and
District of Columbia militiamen are
a hardy looking lot of men. Their
commissary and quartermaster stores
were landed last night so the soldiers
landed today In light marching order.
The regiments quickly formed on the
wharf and lost no time fn marching
northwestward to take up their po
sition. The foreign military experts
watched the landing of the invaders
and declared" that the landing was
done In remarkably fast time.
General Bliss was particularly anx
ious about his equipment of automo
biles, bicycles for his scouts, the war
balloons, wireless and other telegraph
outfits and heliograph apparatus.
The Invaders' success depends large
ly upon the use of these modern war
attachments, and General Bliss want
ed nothing to happen to this part of
his equipment.
The mystery about what will be
come of the fleet of transports, in
cluding the Kllpatrick, Meade, Bos
ton, and other big troopships, has not
been cleared up. It Is feared by the
blue army that these vessels will com
pose the red arm's naval support and
make a united attack upon 'the coast
fdrts t.o cover a concerted land attack
by the red army. , The transports re
main anchored off Fairhaven.

Congress Appropriated; $73,000 For

Hitchcock Gets Turned Down by
Postmaster.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Beverly, Mass., Aug. 14 A num
ber of fat official plums will be dis
tributed Monday when Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh arrives here
with the list of tariff experts to be
appointed by the president.
After congress has passed the Aid-
rich tariff bill, in spite of the fact
that many members could not un
derstand the meaning of numerous
clauses, it came face to face with the
fact that somebody would have to
understand them or the law could
not be enforced. So it was voted to
allow the president to appoint sev
eral tariff experts who should inter
pret the meaning of the great puzzle,
and particularly decide disputes aris
ing as to the maximums of several of
the most involved schedules.
An appropriation of $75,000 was
made for this work and the number
of appointees was left to the presi
dent. That gentleman had troubles
of his own and turned the matter
over to Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh, who took the task to
Dublin, N. H., with him. Mr.
Hitchcock hastened to the assistance
of Secretary MacVeagh and the fact
that he felt free to leave Dublin and
come to Beverly shows that the task
is practically completed.
There is the greatest anxiety
among possible appointees as to the
number who will be named. Seven
ty-five thousand dollars will provide
salaries of $15,000 a year for five
men, $7,500 for ten, and only $5,000
year for fifteen. :
Those who have read, or tried to
read the "new tariff bill, are convinced
that there is work for at least 50.
It Is probable that not more than 10
experts will be appointed, for the
good and sufficient reason that no
more than that number of real ex
perts would take the job. In the
meantime President Taft is still
playing golf and John Hays Ham
mond is usually his opponent. He
started for Myopia this morning
early. His playing on these links
has Improved and he is going around

IS BEING WAGED
FIERCELY AGAIN
Third Day of Conflict and Re
ports Say 6,000 Have Fal
len in Conflict
WANT MORE TROOPS
Moroccan War is Being Waged To
day Along a Battle Line of Thirty
Miles It is the Third Day of the
Conflict and Reports Received Here
Say Thut Fully 0,000 Killed and
Wounded Have FallenMoors
Have Spanish Garrison Surrounded
and Iinttle Wages Night and Day.
Extension of the Warfare Over
Such a Large Area Interferes With
Plans of General ."Marina.
(By Cable to The Times)
Madrid, Aug. 14 The Moroccan
war is today being waged along a battle-line
of 30 miles. At Melilla. Al
humecas and Penon De La Gothora,
the fighting between the Spanish and
the Tribesmen is continuous. It is
the third day of the conflict and re
ports received here say that, fully
6,000 killed and wounded have fallen.
The fighting at Penon De La Go
mora is particularly fierce. The
Moors have the Spanish garrison sur
rounded and the battle wages night
and day.
The extension of the warfare over
an area so extensive interferred with
the plan of Gen. Marina at Melilla,
who planned to put down the war by
a single blow at the concentrated
forces of the Moors around Mount
Gurugu.
With the broadening of the Moor
ish field operations General Marina Is
demanding more men. With a force
of 38,000 at his command he now
wants 7,000 more before striking
what he desires to be the decisive
blow.
The entire strength of the Span
ish navy is now enlisted in the war.
The warships will put an end to the
Riff traffic in gunpowder and arms;
they will sail to the relief of Spanish
coast cities attacked by tribesmen and
shell Mount Gurguru to cover the as
sault to be made by General Marina.
The Spanish battleship Emperado
Carlos V, the protecting cruiser
Prlnceza De Astruias, and the torpedo
boat destroyer Osado are envoyage to
Melilla from Cadiz, heavily armed,
manned and provisioned. Arms and
provisions are being taken into Me
lilla for a two-months' campaign.
The steamer Cevilla arrived with a
great store of foodstuffs and muni
tions. The Moors tried to prevent
her lauding, but were driven back.
The Spanish generals fear that the
tribesmen will destroy , the railroad
running out of Melilla. This would
seriously delay his campaign so con
voys of soldiers are patrolling the
track and a powerful searchlight is
kept1 playing, every night upon the
rails.
There is friction in the cabinet,
but the outlook for Spain is bright
er, 'i ne government will stop the
system of rich young men buying
their release from military duty,
while the poor are compelled to
serve.

Naval Itoard May Give Compro
mise Verdict.
I By Leased Wire to The Times)
Annapolis, Md.. Aug. 14 With the
opposing parties to the inquiry de
claring that, unless the verdict was
in line with their contentions the
fight would be renewed, three men.
with 1,400 typewritten pages of evi
dence before them, began to consider
this morning whether or not the first
naval board verdict that Lieutenant
James N. Sutton took his own life
should he reversed.
"After our 20-months' fight to ob
tain a re-opening of this case," said
Mrs. Sutton, the mother, "we will
not let it drop now unless my son's
name Is thoroughly cleared of the
suicide stigma."
"I, for one, must have absolute ex-
honeralion," said Lieutenant Robert
E. Adams, one of the six defendants
who were technically arraigned dur
ing the inquiry because of their pres
ence at the midnight campus tight of
October 13, 1907.
"I have heard surmises',' he con
tinued, "that, perhaps there will be
a verdict of accidental death. This
is not going to do me. If accidental
death should be found I would insist
that it be worded so as to let me out
of the accident theory, too. If the
verdict is veiled in any way, I have
the right to demand, and I certainly
will demand, that the case be re
opened in my behalf. I'll do this if
I have to forfeit my commission in
order to obtain a hearing for my
self." Although not so emphatic in their
promises it is understood that the
other young officers want their mili
tary records cleared of, all possible
suspicion.
Ordinarily, the Siittons would have
been satisfied with a verdict of acci
dental shooting.
In the meantime, the opinion
grows here that the naval board may
take a compromise attitude and de
clare that in some way Sutton was
shot in the scrimmage between offi
cers. This will satisfy neither side.
The board, composed of Comman
der Hood, Major Neville, and Capt.
Jensen, held its first executive ses
sion this morning.
From the mass of evidence before
14, 1909.

precept requiring that this, board
shall not only make its recommenda

shall set forth r.he raws brought out
in the investigation.
All of the parties to the inquiry,
excepting the court, have returned to
'tfielr homes. Mrs. Sutton and Mrs.
Parker are awaiting the vdi'dict in
Washington.
POWEICS ABE ALARMED.
Cretan Government. Today Refused
to Haul Down the Greek Flag.
(By Cable to The Times I
Paris. Aug. 14 The powers are
alarmed over the fact that the Cre
tan government today refused to
haul down the Greek nag. This was
a demand which Turkey has been in
sisting on and the action of the Cre
tans gives the Turko-Greek situation
the gravest aspect it has yet borne.
It is reported that the powers will
forcibly take down the Creek fiag.
A French warship hurriedly left
Toulon today for Crete and another
is being prepared for the journey.
A Turkish Heel is at anchor off

delegates to the National Irrigation
Congress began scattering for their
homes today although many of them
went to Seattle to look over the
Alaska-Yukon Exposition. The con
gress which ended late last night
went on record as endorsing every
poli-y which makes up the conserva

THE PINCflOT AND
BALLINGER TROUBLE
Washington, Aug. 14 The depart
mental air is saturated with countless
rumors in connection with the clash
between Gifford Pinchot, chief of the
forest service, and Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger, precipitated by the
forester's defiant, speech before the
National Irrigation Congress at Spo
kane. The issue is squarely joined
and those in a position to know pre
dict that the war between the advo
cates of the Itoosevelt policies of con
servation and the strict construction
methods of Secretary . Ballinger will
be a bitter battle for supremacy
which must be fought'out before
either a congressionalj&'r an execu
tive committee of investigation.
A searching investlffition is like&
to be made that will cover the alleg
ed depredations of the co-called water
site trust.
In l he absence of Secretary Ballin
