Investment Bureau, said to-day that
before the end of the week Federal Of
ficials, assisted by the receivers Of the
Storey Cotton Company and of the
Provident Investment Bureau, expect
to have in their possession evidence of
a widespread conspiracy to defraud the
public through the medium of .iget-
rich quick concerns. The plan was to
form a sort of trust of big profit con-
Germs. McNeal said:
I'VE have just come into information
which leads us to believe that the
Provident Investment Bureau was only
a part Of huge conspiracy, and that
its operations covered only small part
of a field which was designed to en-
brace the whole country
According to our information, when
the scheme was devised, it was recog-
nized that the illegality of the transac-
ton 1t had in view made 1t probable
that some one of the concern might
take French leave with most of the
profits. A written agreement was,
therefore, drawn up and signed by all

copies of the contract where Federal
officials might find them. Only one
COPY was made, and 1t was placed in
charge of a man whose trustworthiness
could be relied upon.

nies all knowledge of such a document

new DISCOVERY
!. OF MOLYBDENUM
Special Dispatch to The c.ll

PHOENIX. Ariz.. March &C. Otto
Schwabe, a German chemist, though
for fifteen years resident OF
this country and long connected
with the Franklin Institute OF Phil
adelphia, is here en- route to Troy
mining camp, where he will construct
the first plant in America for the ex-
elusive working of molybdenum ore
There have been many discoveries of
molybdenum in this country, but in
the past the quantity has proved too
small for a successful enterprise A
new ore body has been developed on
the property of the Troy Manhattan
Copper Company, and a department
has beer organized for its exploitation
under Schwabe. The machinery has
been ordered. y contract has been Sc
cured from a large steel company for
the first 100000 pounds of the metal
ready for the market at 81 so per
pound.
The ore is very refractory, requires
intense heat for reduction and necessi-
tates operating with electricity. The
most important use for molybdenum
will be as an alloy for steel in the max
ing OF arnor plate, heavy guns, steel
tools, ETC., for which purpose, if suffi-
cient quantity can be produced IL will
supplant tungsten, a more brittle
metal, now in general use in this coun-
try. Schwabe was, many years ago
employed by the Krupp Company when
1T began experimenting with nnoIyb-
denum, which it now uses extensively
having control of the European supply.

Chancellor Won BulOw Says
in the Reichstag That the
Open-Door Principle Must
Be Maintained in Morocco
KAISER WILL DEAL
DIRECT WITH SULTAN
Paris Governments Claim
to a Controlling Infiu-
ence Over Moorish Affairs
Will Not Be Recognized

BERLIN, March 29.-Chancellor Won
Bulow, speaking on Morocco in the
Reichstag to-day, said that Germany
would in the first instance place her
self in communication with the Sultan
of Morocco. Germany had such inter-
ests in Morocco as other trading coun-
tries, such interests as she had in
China and other parts of the world.
These interests We're real and would
be protected in Morocco according to
the open-door principle.
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, had
raised the Moroccan question by criti-
cizing the Government for taking dip
lomatic action to safeguard German
opportunities in Morocco long after the
French-B British agreement. when it
should have acted year ago.
Chancellor Won Bulow said that al
though the moment was not especially
opportune to discuss Germany's rela-
tions with Morocco, he would say that
Emperor William had declared more
than year ago to the King of Spain
that Germany had no selfish aims to-
ward the territorial integrity or in
dependence of Morocco. The Emperor s
visit to Morocco had no aggressive
purpose, but apart from the indepen-
dence of Morocco and apart from the
terestS remained to be protected and
they would be. These interests were
considerable.
Baron Won Kardorff, Conservative,
speaking before Chancellor Won Bulow
on Morocco and coupling the names
of France and Great Britain together,
said Germany was not accustomed to
estimate her opponents Her
military power was equal to that of
any enemy.
The Deutsche Reichs Correspondent,
regarded as yoicing Chancellor Won
Bulow's views, says Emperor William s
visit to Morocco shows that Germany
continues her relations with the SOW
ereign of Morocco and does not and
will not give up such relations to
France, which seeks to exercise a con-
trolling influence in Morocco
TANGIER, Morocco, March 29.-The
Governor of Tangier has dispatched an
invitation to , Raissouli, the brigand
chief, to come in with the principal
tribesmen ITO peet Emperor William.
1t is understood that the German lega-
tion has guaranteed Raissouli against
any interference from the Moorish Gov
!. ernment.

Joint CONTROL
|. FOR MACEDONIA
New Plan Said to Be on Foot
Which Calls for United
Action on Part of Powers
TO BETTER CONDITIONS
Present Reform Programme
of Austria and Russia Is
Declared to Be Inadequate

VIENNA, March 29.-The statement
made by the British Foreign Secretary,
Lord Lansdowne, in the House of Lords
yesterday on the subject Of Macedonia
was read here with great interest to-
day in official circles, where the opinion
was reiterated that the Meurzsteg
(Austro Russian) reform programme
has now come to an absolute standstill
suggestion of the necessity of further
reforms, including the financing of
Macedonia, was well received in official
circles. but little hope is entertained
that it will be successfully carried out.
The opinion prevails that if this is at
tempted Germany will withdraw from
the existing union of the reform powers
and use her influence. because of her
various interests In Turkey, to coun-
teract with the Porte any further re-
form measures proposed by Great Brit
ain.
In a well-informed but unofficial
quarter it was declared tonight during
a discussion of Lord Lansdowne's
speech that the Macedonian question
will soon enter uDOn a new phase. The
powers, including Austria and Russia,
it was declared, are now convinced that
extended and Macedonia placed under
international financial control. One of
the features of the new control suggest
ed is that money collected by the au-
thorities in the villayetes of Salonica
Monastir and Uskub shall be employed
solely for the benefit of Macedonia. 1t
is not known here what form the in
ternational control will take, but it is
asserted that neither the Ottoman
Bank nor the Dette Publioue will have
a hand in the financial part of the con-
troll.
1t was said that there was reason to
believe that the principle of introduc-
ing further international control in
Macedonia has been irrevocably re-
solved upon by the powers Should
Turkey offer passive resistance to this
plan ways and means will be found to
make that Government withdraw it's
opposition. These reforms, once start
ed, will be made effective by the powers
participating in the movement

MISSION CLUB
HOLDS JUBILEE

The Mission Park Association held
an enthusiastic mass7meeting at. Turn
Verein Hall, on Eighteenth and Va
lencia streets, last night to celebrate
the new grounds which are to be turn
ed into park to adorn that part of
the city. The hall was crowded with
residents of the Mission District, the
fair sex being present in large num-
bers.
Eustace Cullinan, president of the
club, was in the chair. He opened the
meeting by giving a short address, in
which he stated the purposes of the
organization. Through the efforts Of
the club the city has purchased the
old Hebrew burial ground. Now the
club will endeavor to have S25,00 ap-
prOpriated in the next budget to beau
tify the property and make it one of
the finest parks in the country.
James D. Phelan said: You must
get out and work If you want to ac-
complish anything" He said the peo-
pie of the Mission had got out and
worked and the result was that they
were going to have park. They had
got the land and the next thing to do
was to beautify it.
Il am in, heart and soul, for beau
tifying this great city," he said. Ma
ture and its natural situation have
done much for us, but it rests with us
to do the rest. Our beautiful Golden
Gate Park is admired by people from
every part of the world, and this
should only be a beginning of a chain
of parks that should stretch through
out the whole city. We want places
where the children can get out and
enjoy the fresh air and grow up stur-
dy and strong"
Phelan's remarks were frequently
interrupted with bursts of applause.
The other speakers of the evening
were Mayor Schmitz. Percy v. Long
and Samuel Braunhart. M. j. (Billy)
Hynes, Public Administrator, enliv-
ened the proceedings by doing clev
er stunt in the shape of an amusing
monologue and wound up by singing
two new popular songs.

on the cornet, and Charles Hay and
Miss Millie Flynn contributed inter-
esting vocal numbers.
