INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE.
Regarded as Best Plan to Settle Mo-
roccan Differences.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE German govern
ment continues to lay before the Sultan OF
Morocco the advantages of requesting the
powers to agree among themselves by an
International conference on the things that
they would like him to do. These include
acting on the suggestions for the syste-
matte payment of the foreign debts; bring
ing about adjustment of the tariff and
taking steps to properly police the country.
Although no official confirmation is OBJ
tainable at the foreign Office it is under
stood that strong expectations are held
there that the sultan will accept the idea of
an International conference. What is said
officially is that Germany would accept
such an invitation as offering the best way
fcr a settlement of the differences in views
between France and Germany.

IN COURT OF APPEALS
Opinions in Local Causes
Handed Down Today.
DENIAL OF PETITION
ORDER REFUSED IN THE CASE OF
MRS. FANNIE MORGAN.
Police Court Decision on Snow Law
Regulation Reversed and Case
Remanded.

The Court of Appeals today in an opinion
by Chief Justice Shepard denied the petit
ton of Fannie r. Morgan, who sought an
order directing her husband, Charles II.
Morgan, to pay over to her a sufficient sum
Of money to enable her to prosecute an APP
peal from a decree of divorce granted by
the District Supreme Court against her.
Without deciding the question of the right
of the court, in the exercise of sound dis
cretion to require husband. who is ap-
pellee in a divorce proceeding, to pay the
appellant money to prosecute an appeal.
the Appellate Court decides that it has no
jurisdiction to exercise such power in the
case presented by the petition.
The court acquires complete jurisdiction
Of an appeal, the opinion states, only when
the transcript of record has been filed; the
mere filing of an appeal bond does not COM
pei the appellant to prosecute the appeal,
as he may decide to abandon it. An order
compelling the appellee to furnish the funds
for an appeal should be applied for to the
trial court, whose power to make such an
order was recently decided in the Sparks
case.
The opinion concludes by denying the Pc
tition. for the reason that to grant the
prayer the court would have to act with
out the knowledge of the facts to be OBJ
tanned from the transcript of record. which
discretion, and also in advance of the hear
ing be compelled to reverse in part the de-
cree from which the appeal is sought to he
prosecuted.
Lee Against District.
The Police Court decision in the case OF
John w. Lee against the District of Column
bia, involving the snow-law regulation, was
today reversed by the Court of Appeals in
an opinion by Mr.. Justice Morris. The
grounds for reversal are the courts opin-
ion in the Coughlin case and that the Com
missioners were without lawful authority to
make such regulation, as Congress had re-
served to itself the exclusive power over
the subject matter AS the law now stands,
the court says, the duty is upon the Com
missioners to remove such distractions from
the sidewalks, and they cannot escape the
performance of that duty by Attempting to
impose it upon individual citizens.
The cause is remanded to the Police
Court, with directions to vacate its judg-
ment and discharge the defendant. The
mandate was ordered withheld by the court
until it's further order. that the Commits
sioners may have the opportunity to petit
ton the United States Supreme Court for
a writ of certiorari, that the highest tribu-
nal in the land may review the opinion OF
the District Court of Appeals.

he Got the Place

Sccretarv Bonaparte. speaking
before a meeting of the A. o. II.
at Baltimore recently. told the fol-
lowing story:
A young minister who was to
preach on trial before a congrega-
ton of nul;i-millionaires at a very
fashionable watering place, ran
over his most carefully prepared
sermons with a judicious friend to
select one suitable. He thought
himself a discourse on The Evil of
Divorce might do, but his adviser
shook his head--every third wo-
man in the congregation had been
divorced at least once-that sort of
talk wouldn't fill the bill at all.
He offered in its place one on
The Evils Of Gambling, but this
was pronounced even worse; all
his expected hearers of both sexes
played bridge during most of
their spare time, and three-fourths
of the men put out big money at
poker besides.
He had a third on The Evil of
