Troops Lack Water MADRID. A us.

10. Hostilities be tween the Spanish and the Moroccan tribesmen, which have been going on in Eastern Morocco for tbe past three weeks, and which have resulted in a virtual collapse of the Spanish campaign there appear to have spread into Western Morocco. The Spanish commandant at Tetuan reports that Rif tribesmen on Sunday attacked the blockhouse at Meiows, in the Tetnan district, and that the garrison, after losing several men, wa obliged to fall back upon Sonk-el-Arba. The commandant has declared that the incident was not important. An official statement issued last nighs relative to the fighting near Melilla states that the conflict at Mount Ar-ruit.

where General Navarro and a force of men have been surrounded for several days, has completely ceased, and that the enemy forces in that region appear to be less numerous. Another report received hor however, states that General Navarro's position is becoming increasingly critical. It is said the only water the Spanish troops can get is by melting ice brought by airplane. The political crisis which has resulted from the defeat of the Spanish in Morocco continues to be the center of interest here. In political centers there is an almost general demand for the establishment of a strong administration that may be capable of hand ling the critical situation.

A parliamentary government under the Premiership of Antonio MLaurn, Conservative leader, is favored, but ic is forecast that he may meet preat difficulties owin; to the ambitious plans of the head of small political organizations, who might take advantage of the present situation. It is known that Premier A. I.endesalazar wishes to relinquish his post. LONDON, Aug. 10.

Order continued to prevail in Spain, the message added, and the departure of additional troop for Morocco wa occuring amid scenes of enthusiasm on the part of the public and the ma them selves.

As the first step to bring about a speedy triaL State's Attorney Mortimer, of Sangamon county, today offered change of avenue to Governor Len Small, arrested yejrterday at' the exec ntive mission after a days siege of the State capitol building by Sheriff Mester on warrants charring erabezilement and conspiracv, while Small was State Treasurer. The Governor did not in dicate today whether he would accept Mr. Mortimers offer. Both Governor Small and the State's attorney Issued statements today in ex planation of their sides of the case the Governor declarinr that he had never evaded arrest, demanding an early trial and assailing the "Sangamon (county lawless ring." and L'nited States Senator Medill McCormiek as well as Attorney General E.

Governor Small in his statement said "The Governor of Illinois has been falsely indicted and falsely arrested through the machinations of a gang holding in utter disregard the Constitution and laws of this State. "Our Federal Constitution guarantees to every State a Republican form of government. A Republican form of government provides for the inviolable separation of the legislative, executive and judicial branches.

"Contrary to th? accepted principles of our government and at the behest or corrupt conspirators, the authority of the people has been prostituted to the purposes ot a lawless ring, mis noj, comprised of the roost vinous elements in Sangamon county, is aided anO ab-betted by cotnmerciah'xed newspapers.

The Sheriff of Sangamon county was closely advised vf my movements and could have ordered my arrest in any county where I happened to be. if he desired. No molestation has been attempted, except in gang-ruled Sangamon county.

Here the ruffianism of corrupt politics has threatened the-orderly processes of Here the ring would subordinate proper lawful functions to its improper and lawless purposes. "Notwithstanding pretensions of decency, my enemies maliciously staged a spectacular arrest under circumstances intended to humiliate me and disgrace the people of our State. Even though the Sheriff stated he had no thought that I would evade arrest, nevertheless, tbe Capitol of the State was besieged and srfrrounded by an armv of deputies drawn from the slums of Springfield and when I was finally arrested in the Kxecutive mansion the Sheriff peremptorily refused to examine or accept a bond with ample surety which 1 presented, and forcibly took me from the Executive mansion and paraded me through a mob which had been assembled to jeer and insult the Governor. The bond, which the Sheriff rejected, finally was accepted without change, with the single objection that lawful surety had been furnished. "In the interest of the public welfare, upon advice of my counsel, I have preserved the rights of the executive branch upder unlawful arrest and have given bond under protest.

Governor Asserts Innocent "In view of the great issue of public policy involved in this discreditable and unprecedented proceeding the facts in this controversy must be Drought to light without delay. My innocence is known to me. I assert it with all the positiveness of an unblemished record and a clear and honest conscience. The people all over this State must know it. Dav light most be admitted to the corrupt channels through which this conspiracy has flown.

'AU the ramifications of protected vice and crime supplementary to my prosecution must be exhibited to public view. "Proceedings thus far have been founded on untruth. The next proceeding must reveal the truth." The State's Attorney's proposals were: That the Governor's counsel file a petition for a change of venue and confer with Mortimer in an effort to reaeh an agreement on some county acceptable to both the prosecution and the defense. That both sides agree to a speedy trial. Mr.

Mortimer conferred with Attorney General Brundage immediately after the latter's arrival in Springfield shortly before midnight last night, and the proposal for a change of venue for the Governor's trial was acceptable to the Attorney, General, it was said. "The. State's Attorney reiterates his belief and conviction," he said, that Mr. $mall could and would receive a fair and impartial trial in this county, but Ss ready to concede a change of venue in order to give Mr. Small what he has said he wanted, that is an immediate trial in some other county.

MAGEE ASKS NOMINATION AS PITTSBURGH'S MAYOR Third Republican Candidate for Office Senators Remain Neutral PrrrSBUTtGH.

Aug. "10. Former Mayor William A. Maee was announced late tonight as Republican candidate for Mayor in the first election in just ten years on a return to the party system. His announcement, the third in the contest for the Republican nomination, which will be equivalent to election, launches a hot battle for political supremacy here.

John Douglas, candidate of the anti-organisation forces. headed by George S. Oliver, and Joseph W. Mack-relL who has not yet been catalogued, are the two other candidates. It is expected Magee will be supported by the regular organization headed by State Senator Max G.

Leslie and Mayor R. V. Babcock, with the city administration and possibly State administration support. Senators Penrose and Knox, with Secretary of the Tfeasury A. W.

Mellon, a Pittsburgher, besieged by both sides, are taking no sides. Mgee in his announcement makes this significant declaration at the outset: "For a number of years the present factional leaders (meaning Oliver and Leslie) were allied in an invincible combination at the city elections. I am now convinced that all efforts to harmonize them have failed." He declares he has no connection with either local Republican faction, and if elected will be fre of "expressed or implied obligations."

STATE TAX BURDEH Legislation'3 Must Cease to Keep "Fx-penses Down, He Claims Municipal Payroll, Exclusive of Teachers' Salaries, Gained $30,000,000 NEW YORK. Aug. 10. Counsel for the legislative committee investigating tbe xnty administration regaled Mayor Hylan today with figures showing heavy municipal debts and tar burdens and then inquired if he knew any means of relief.

The Mayor said he knew of but one tray to cut down the taxes and that was for the State Legislature to cease passing "mandate rv legislation," and to remove the $22,000,000 in direct taxes which it has already imposed on the city. The Mayor was told that municipal taxes had increased from per capita in 1917 to $39.99 this year; that tbe city waa far beyond its Constitutional debt limit, and $24,000,000 past the tax limitation fixed by the State Constitution at 2 per cent, of the assessed valuation. Budget appropriations had grown from $230,000,000 when he took office in 191S to $313,000,000 this year, and tbe municipal payroll, excluding school teacners salaries, increased S30.00U,-000 during the same period-Aim to Reduce Taxes Mayor Hylan said he was opposed to cutting the salaries of city emDlovees and officeholders, though he realized big corporations were doing it, and the cost of living bad dropped. The main aim of his administration was to reduce taxes, be said. lie- was then told that much of the $22,000,000 tar im- poped by the Legislature covered in creases in school teachers' salaries which the lawmakers authorized.

Tbe Mayor said he favored the in creases and that the city would have given them to the teachers. His opposition, he explained, was to all "mandatory legislation." He wanted "home rale" for New York city. Elon 11. Brown, committee counsel, contended that education was a State function, and legislation affecting the schools not mandatory. Asked for suggestions for any economy that would reduce tax burdens.

Mayor Hylan proposed amending: the laws of 1914 to give New York the same home rule privileges accorded smaller municipalities. Then there would be an opportunity to co-operate and consolidate city departments, he said. Raps Lawmakers "But if we are going to be governed by mandate from Albany we won't get any where." he added. The Mayor admitted he bad no plans for consolidating any branches of municipal activity, nor any data to show that consolidations would reduce expenditures. But if the Legislature would give New York "home rule" he felt sure the governing boards would "work it out scientifically." Mr.

Hylan said consolidation should be given a deal of consideration." which prompted the committee counsel to ask if it had ever appeared to his mind that there was any duplication of service in the departments that could be abated by combination. "There may be duplication of service that might be abated," said the Mayor. "Birds may fly." Mr. Brown observed, "but I want to know whether ther is any ease that you have in mind from your own experience as Mayor." No Case Now 'T haven't any particular ease at this time." the Mayor replied. "Have you had any plan made up.

or proposed to you by any city official, for. tbe accomplishment of this purpose with or without the aid of legislation?" 'Not that I remember." Mr. Hylan said. "I have talked with people about it, but I can't just recall that I had a plan made of it." The Mayor said he had suggestions since 1917, "Except" he added, per cent, increase in budget appropriations since 1917. "Except," he added, "if the cost of materials, equipment and things like that come down.

why. there may be some relief." When Mayor Hylan was asked how much sicking fund m)ney was used in 1920 to cash new certificates or of indebtedness, he referred counsel to the Comptroller. Then he was asked to define a sinking fund, a funded debt and other things. "I did not expect I would be giver, a civil nervier examination." he remarked. "There are lets of definitions to these different terms that I am not familiar Examination of Mayor Hylan will continue tomorrow.

10 (By the Associated Press l. The Allied Supreme Council put the Silesian question, now apparently near a definite settlement, temporarily aside today, while awaiting the report of the experts engaged in drawing the new boundary line between Poland and Germany in this area; agreed upon in principle between France and England yesterday. Pending receipt of the experts report, the Council decided to discuss the Greco-Turkish situation and German disarmament questions. In taking up the former subject the Council decided unanimously to adopt an attitude of strict neutrality in the Greco-Turkish war, without interfering with trading by private firms with either of the belligerent countries. Ambassador Harvey said this decision was in conformity with the policy of the United States previous to its entering the World War, and he concurred in the Council's finding.

Cites America in World War "Premier Lloyd George, in a speech advocating neutrality on tbe part of the Allies toward the Greco-Turkish conflict, alluded to American neutrality durins the war, wheu the American market was open to both the Allies and the Central Powers, adding that the latter were unable to take advantage of the purchase of war materiaJs on account of tbe British blockade. lie asked Ambassador Harvey if such was his understanding on the question, and the latter replied that this was fully in accord ith the "American riewnoint. Concerning the question of mediation in the conflict in the Near East, Lord Curzon, British Secretary for Foreign Affairs, reviewed the case at some length, saying that two offers to mediate had been made, one last March and another in June. The first offer, he said, was for mediation by the British alone, and the latter by both the French and British, while he was in Paris. He added that both offers had met with refusal by the belligerents.

nder these circumstances. Lord Cur zon said, the Allies could not make an other offer, and that any initiative must come from the belligerents themselves. Greeks Entitled to Ignore Treaty Tbe Council decided, however, that the Allied governments cannot disinter est themselves in events in the Near East, which are liable to cause a great er conflagration. The Council will ap point special missions to cather infor mation on military and political matters Asia Minor, and the renr-h. British and Italian Governments will exchange such data, especially that oonrerninff supplying arms to the Turks by tho Lolshenki.

which mav not onlv be sent over land, but also shipped across the Black Sea. Premier Lloyd Georee. sneakine briefly at this point, said that the Treaty of Sevres had been "torn un" by the Allies themselves at the instiga tion ot the lurks, although the Greeks had been prepared to accept and act upon it. L'ndT these circumstances, he continued, it was obvious that the Greeks were entitled to proceed as if the treaty ne-ver existed. Keferrine to a statement bv Premier JRriand yesterday that the victor was entitled to the benefits of v-ictorv.

Mr. Lloyd George said the statement ap plied to events in the Near East. I pon the proposal of Mr. Llovd George, the Council adopted the following resolution: "The, Allies decide to maintain an attitude of strict neutralitv in the Greco-Turkish war. The Allied eovern- ments are agreed not to intervene in the conflict with aid of anv nature whatsoever, whether troops, arms or credits, without, however, such decision interfering with'the liberty of pri vate trading Allied firms with the belligerents."

Aup. 10 (By the Associated Press). Aristide Briand, David lAoyd 1 George and Ivanoe Ronomi, respectively tie French. British and Italian Prime Ministers, are awaiting the settlement of various European questions and further information concerning the Wash-1 ington Disarmament and Far Eastern Conference before determining whether they will attend the conference in per son. M.

Briand position is an especially difOcult one. The French Parliament reconvenes October 12 and he must deal with the financial situation in France, the question of German Rep-I arations and the reapportionment of the French electoral districts in accordance with the last census. The Parliamentary loaders and members of M. Briand's own Cabinet say they do not ee how he can absent himself from France for six or eight weeks. The first impulse of Mr.

Lloyd George appears to have been that he personally would go to Washington. This impulse, however, seems to have cooled somewhat owing to the decision not to have a preliminary meeting, which Mr. Lloyd 'ieorge had offered to attend, accompanied by all the Premiers of the British dominions. Sicnor Ronnrai is understood to doubt t-he utility of the heads of governments taking part in a conference of such importance as the one at Washington probably will be, because the presence i of the Premiers would not give suffi-I cient elasticity to take the view when a Prime Minister says definitely that his government is prepared to do I or not to do. the Minister cannot recede or advance from that position as easily as an ordinary plenipotentiary ran.

Bonomi Speaks Bonomi's position is that of a del-i ate of high rank, always could protect his government from being press- ed for an immediate replv to a ques tion by saying that he would refer the i question to his government. It is possible that Count Sforza. former Italian I Foreign Minister, although not now a member of the government, will be one of Italy's delegates, as his experience at such conferences and his admirable knowledge of English, together with his agreeable personality, are regarded as qualifying him for the work. The Washington conference had not been mentioned at any time at the sions of the Supreme Council, nor has it any place in the agenda of the Coun-I eil. i WASTins'GTON.
