The Moors last night newed their attempt to invade Casablanca, but were repulsed with heavy losses by the fire from the warships. All the consulates here are now I guarded by machine guns. The total of the Moorish losses here Is mated at two thousand. The brunt of the fighting which preceded the coming ashore of the first French landing party was borne by the British Consulate. On Moni day the French Consul begged the British Coni sul, Mr.

Madden, to vacate his consulate and come over to the French Consulate for protec- I ticn. Fortunately, as it turned out later, Mr. i Madden declined, and accordingly Ueutenar.t Tyssier. with thirty i en from the French cruiser Galilte. was seal over to guard the British Con- sulate.

Had Ml Madden moved his consulate would have been occupied by the Arabs, and the building would have given them a position from I which they could command the Spanish Coni mlate. As a result, the Spaniards might have been driven back and the whole aspect of affairs changed. As It was, Mr. Maddcn's French guard kept the Arabs at bay. It was learned to-di that as an outcome of I en unfortunate misunderstanding on Monday i night two Frenchmen lost their lives.

A party of French guards at the residence of a Mr. on the waterfront, were fired on by i their comrades stationed at the French and Portuguese consulates. A stray shot led the gTianis, who were not acquainted with the topography of the town, to lire In the direction of Ferneau's house in the mistaken notion that it sheltered a party of attacking Arabs. Wednesday morning was the most anxious time. The entire surrounding country swarmed with mounted Arabs, who appeared ent to the shells fired by the warships, and at the same time others had begun to attack the consulates.

The courage and spirit of the Frenchmen saved the situation. The Arabs In the night had occupied certain advanced poslj lions which threatened the British consulate from three sides and practically cut It off. The i situation became so serious at 11:45 that Mr. I Madden was compelled to make a sortie. The relieving pquadron arrived none too Boon, and immediately the fighting came to an end and I the Arabs hastened to escape before the gates i -were seized.

BLUDEJ) BY NEW COURT POLICE CAN'T SEE WOMEN. Magistrates Amazed by Fm Arrests Since Night Sessions Began. That the police are not so vigilant as before the establishment of the night court in making arrests of women for soliciting. is the belief of the Board of City Magistrates, after examining some Interesting comparative statistics submitted to It. by Chief Clerk Kennelly yesterday.

A detective often had a half dozen or more arrests of women to his record for a single night. Time was, also, and that not so long ago, that dozens of women were arraigned In the various day courts. In the week from July 25 to July 31. that preceding the opening of ths night session in Jefferson forty-seven such offenders were arraigned In the day session of the same court. In the same period Essex Market had forty-eight such cases and Yorkvllle a like number.

When the night court was proposed Its advocates pointed out that its special benefit would In wiping out the source of Income of the professional bondsmen. It was specially provided that women charged with soliciting should not be admitted to bail, but arraigned as soon as possible. But, with their knowledge of New York and its conditions, the most eager opponents of the professional bondsman and his calling never imagined that court would be the success that the figures turned in yesterday would show It to be. 270n0 of the magistrates, for instance, thought that the establishment of the court would be such a deterrent to women of the street that a large corps v. lynx-eyed detectives would be able to discover between 4 p.

m. and 2 a. m. only three women who were doing things which fifty to a hundred women, as these same policemen thought. were doing before August 1 and the opening of the night court.

But. as President House of the Board of City Magistrates said yesterday afternoon. "Figures for themselves!" If it could be proved that he new court had so splendidly efficacious in ridding the streets of these women, he had no objection to make, but somehow or other it seemed peculiar that whereas arrests of women for soliciting had been made in the week from July 25 to July only eighty-four arrests should have been made in Manhattan and The Bronx the following wetk. the first of the night court's sessions. Of course, there isn't much doing in the ball line for the professional bondsmen nowadays, but the magistrates are wondering what that has to do with the police.

Perhaps soliciting is not being practised so assiduously on the streets since the night court was opened, but President House was struck by the falling off of 53.59 per cent in the number of such arrests in one week. He had this to say on the subject: "As to the condition of the streets and the protection of the public In the that is a matter entirely for the. consideration of those charged with the control of the Police Department. It was charged, both before and after the night court bill was drawn, that the arrests of women were mace not because the women were guilty, although I am convinced that in practically every case they were guilty, but because they were abla to pay a bondsman at the station house. It was further declared by the friends of the bill that upon the opening of the night court the arrests of these women would be greatly diminished.

"I cannot say that there is less soliciting on the streets than before the night court was opened. Of course, large numbers of women may be arrested from time to time on the street to throw apparent discredit on the figures which are presented. But I am afraid the renaissance vigilance on the part of the police will come a little too late to carry weight with the public. These surprising figures are all the more remarkable, considering that It is in July and August that the greatest number of arrests are made for soliciting." The figures pertaining to of this character are interesting in themselves and tell the story of I hat the night court has done for the professional bondsman. The night the new court held Its first session In Jefferson Market twenty women were ar-1 raigned.

The next night the number fell to twelve; I the third night only five were arraigned. The next i night the number went down to four, and on Au! jrust the total of women arrested for solielttrig was enly three August 6 there were five and the next night only four. From August 2 to August inclusive erven women all told were arraigned In court charged with Most of these arrests were undoubtedly made at r.fßh! ami in sufficient time to have the irtaoiters arraigned In the night court, but Magistrate House said he was unable to explain why this had not done. President House said he would ask Acting Police Commissioner O'Keeffe to the first of General Order No. 47, Issued on August 7.

so that all women arrested after the closing of the day courts might brought to the night court, no matter what the charge lodged against them. From a humanitarian point of view aionti, be saM he thought this should be done, and that point had been urged most strongly In support of the bill at Albany. DUTCH MASSACBED IN CELEBES.

Ivins at the hearing of the merger inquiry yesterday. Edward P. Bryan, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, was first called to the stand. The counsel for the Public Service Commission brought out that the tunnel, while a part of the Interborough-Metropolitan system, would be operated Independently of all other lines; that it would not be physically connected with either the Manhattan subway or the Queens County roads, and that a three-cent fare would be charged for passage through it. These admissions on the part of the wttaeaa confirm the fear of residents in Borough of Queens that they would have to pay 13 cents to connect with Manhattan lines.

Five cents will be charged over Queens lines to the terminal in that borough. Three cents will be charged through the tunnel to the Manhattan lines, either subway or elevated. Then it will coet five cents to get to any etatiton on the Manhattan lines. Queens residents had been led to believe that a single five-cent fare would be charged after the opening of the tunnel from that county to Manhattan. Later, however, it was rumored that the Interborough-Metropolitan had no intention of giving such a rate, and a delegation visited Commissioner Bassett to ask him to find out what actually would be done.

Commissioner Maltbie was authorized to investigate the tunnel, but Mr. Ivins's questions yesterday, it is said, makes any further investigation superfluous. Mr. Bryan was asked as to the acquisition of the tunnel by the system. He said he could not give that information.

He added that trains could be put in operation through the tube within six months, but there was some litigation as to the validity of its franchise, which should be settled before the company went to the expense of equiping it. The Interborough- Metropolitan Intends to appeal to the commission for a new franchise. There will be no hearing to-day. The next one will be on Wednesday, when the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will be taken up. Monday and Tuesday Mr.

Ivtns will devote to a personal examination of properties of that company. He will go over its lines with the borough engineers. Mr WiUcox. who Is holding the Inquiry, will take a short rest next week, and Commissioner McCarroli. a Brooklyn man.

Mr. Hedley admit ted further failures of the corporation to live up to its contract. LIVES UP TO CONTRACT IN RUSH HOURS.

During this rapid fire questioning the witness was asked if the company obeyed the provision requiring it to meet all "reasonable requirements of the public for service up to the full limit and capacity of the road." did during rush hour.

Mr Hedley said that the elevated roads fulfilled' the charter agreement to run locals at the rate of fourteen miles an hour and express trains at thirty miles an hour as far as it could with safety. In reply to a Question about provisions made by 'the company to furnish drinking water at all stations fur passengers, Mr Hedley caused an outburst of laughter by saying that "if any person indicated that he wanted a drink of water by going to the door of the ticket booth the agent would give it to him. The adequacy of the repair shops, the sufficiency of it, rolling stock, the question of the location of the third whether it should be above or on the floor-the sale of tickets to passengers when the subway was blocked by an accident, the effect lengthening the subway stations would have on congestion, p'laclnK elevators at subway stations, and tho increase In traffic on the subway were among th- important points cone Into yesterday.

Mr. Bryan's later testimony was: THIRD RAIL OVERHE.VD TUBE. was the third rail put in overhead in the Belmont tunnei? We have a larger tunnel there than we have in the other. does not the overhead location of third rail in the Steinway tunnel make It impossible to transfer cars from Manhattan to Queens through that tunnel?

The situation at the New York end is about like this: Wo very much below the grade of the present subway The old Steinway franchise carried over to the" North River.

It would go directly undar the present subway. The fact of the Lexington avenue subway, the contemplated extension of the present it was all considered, and It was deemed advisable to make the present station where It la. near Third avenue, until all these mattws were determined. No physical connection could be had between the subway md the Steinway tunnel on their present levels, one being very much below ths other. I have forgotten Just the exact number of feet, but It Is very considerable.

So that that Is out of the question from any point of view? lt Is at present, yes. sir. Mr. Hedley then took the stand. He said he thought the elevated structures were safe and kept in good repair, that they were regularly Inspected by the company's inspectors.

Referring to the subway, the witness said he believed the third rail was Installed there In the best known way. It would be Impracticable to place the rail on the roof of the subway instead of on its floor, although the third vafl in the new tunnel would be placed on the roof, because it had enough "head room." He 6a14 that the was amply ventilated with pure air. The company had tests made as to Its purity. In reply to questions. Mr.

Hedley testified that if were any inefficiencies in the service of the subway it was due to other reasons than lack of roiling stork. The testimony showed that the subway had not facilities for handling it? repair worTc. Mr. Bryan told at some length the plans the company had for increasing this service. "There are provisions for the termination of the contract in certain events and the reacquisltion of the road by the city," said Mr.

Tvins. "Now. suppose an event should happen. arp the facilities for repairs such that the city could find a new lessee?" "It would be very difficult to maintain the subway equipment at the highest degree of efficiency with the present subway shops only," sail Mr. Bryan.

The -witness then toll of the Increase in traffic over the subway, and Immediately afterward Mr. Hedley resumed his testimony. He said that agents were Informed as soon as a block occurred, and before selling a passenger a ticket were required to tell him of the block on the road. The witness sai-1 he had often discussed the question of lengthening platforms with President Brjan. he did not know what action the board of directors had evsr taken about it.

The question of elevators was next brought up. Mr. Ivins thought that the company had not installed elevators at all stations twentynine feet or more In depth. accordance with provisions of the contract. The witness promised to have data prepared showing the depths of stations and the stations at which elevators were installed.

Mr. Hedle? would not admit that the elevators at the 168 th street station were allowed to be overcrowded. He was asked about the outside platforms express stations which are rot used. He said he did not see how they could well be used, without inconveniencing passengers. "Do you regard inconveniencing of passengers of more Importance than the congestion which now causes conditions that I do not hesitate to call Indecent and dangerous as well?" deed Mr.

Mam After a few more questions Mr. Ivlns said I that he had finished for the day. MAY SHIFT CONDI ITS. Public Sen-ice Board, Counsel Says, Has Final Authority. A.
