MOROCCO FARLEY IN TANGIER.
Believed That international Conference
VIII Meet In November.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA prominent
Government officer to-day expressed the
opinion that the Moroccan conference will
be held In Tangier early In November. He
said, however, that q final decision had
not been reached. and q definite announce
ment would probably not be made for some
time.
This Government has been approached
but once concerning the meeting place.
That was when the German Government
several weeks ago asked the State Depart
ment IL the United States desired TO express
any preference concerning the place Of
meeting. The Department replied that this
Government had no preferences.
The negotiations looking toward the
settlement Of the question are being con-
Quoted between France and Germany,
the two Governments most interested In
Morocco. When these two Governments
agree on Tangier, as IL likely, the matter
viii be submitted to oil Of the Powers for
approval
Who the representative OF this Govern
ment will be depends entirely on the place
OF meeting II Tangier Ia selected II is
quite likely that Mr.. Gummere. the United
States Minister to Morocco. will be desg-
mated TO represent the United States.

NO WILL or ALAN WOOD HAS
YET REEN DISCOVERED.

Chorus Girl who Married Rioh Ptttsburg
Man Overcome by the ShOck-Her
Representative Thinks . Will VIII
he Found Funeral to he Held To-day.
Stories that Mrs. Alan W. Wood, for
merly Goldie Mohr OF the Weber and Fields
chorus. Is to get 5000 900 through the
death of her husband are bit premature.
As matter Of fact. 1t ia at present I'm
known just how Mr.. Wood has arranged
10 divide his fortune. estimated at from
SIS 900 900 to 5000 900, among his six
children by former marriages and his young
wife.
Whether Mr.. Wood left will was not
announced. Henry W. Catlin, who ia
acting for Mrs. Wood, held a conference
with the children OF Mr. Wood at the Wal
dorf-Astoria and then said:
Il don't know that Mr.. Wood has left q
will Published statements to the effect
that had seen Nr. Wood draw up his will.
and therefore knew just what provision
he had made for his wife and children. are
absolutely false.
II had known Mr. Wood for a long time.
and was one of his closest friends. AL
though am not positive that he has left
q will, have reason to believe that he has
and that the document will be found among
his personal effects in a safe deposit vault
downtown. The children of the dead man
think will is in this vault, and at 4 confer
ence between myself. acting as Mrs. Wood .
personal representative, and them to-day
1t was decided to open the vault after the
funeral services tomorrow.
"The services will be held at the Stsphen
Merritt undertaking establishment. and
then the body will be taken to Kensico and
pla oed in the receiving vault at that ceme-
tery. Our idea Is that we will find will
and in it Mr.. Wood may have left directions
that he may have desired to be buried In
PittsburR. where the bodies OF his two
former wives are inferred"
In answer to a question as to whether or
not MIRA. Wood had ever talked to her hus-
band REGARDING the disposal o, h,s riches
why, Mr.. and Mrs. Wood were really
ENJOYING their honeymoon up to the time
Mr.. Wood was taken to the hospital. Mrs.
Wood never once Thought other than that
her husband would live many years longer.
He was in excellent health and spirits. As
late az Thursday saw Mr.. Wood, and he
was Jolly and well:
.His sudden and unexpected death has
completely FRUSTRATED Mrs. Wood, and she
is now in a state Of collapse. Mrs, Catlln is
in constant attendance at Mrs. WOODS
bedside, as are a physician and trained
nurse"
Mr.. Catlin couldn't say whether Mrs.
Wood would no able to attend the funeral
services for her late husband. The general
impression around the Barnard apartment
ho',se. where Mrs. Wood lives. is that she
will not attend the funeral.
At the Waldorf Astoria are stopping
Richard D. Wood and Mrs. A. g. Mcconnell,
a dau ghter of Mr.. Wood. At the hotel are
l.k~ H., n n
daughters. Another son makes his home
in this city. None of the Wood children
would talk concerning their fathers affairs
yesterday.

by taking charge OF the locomotive after
the engineer, Dan Mahoney, had been killed
In the cab When Stool erasped the throttle
and slackened speed the train had already
passed at least two danger signals
The train made Trenton on schedule time
last night, but pulled outof that city with q
smoking journal. Mahoney was afraid Of
that Journal and kept q watch on it a. he
sped along. To do 30 he had to lean ont

throttle.
Once no bent too far forward out Of his
cab window to get glimpse Of the defective
journal and his head was struck by signal
post. Death was probably instantaneous.
The locomotive gathered steam and picked
up speed. 1t was Of the big hogback type,

Stool the train seemed to hive attained the
velocity Of a cannon ball. He had hardly

As he stopped to mop the Precipitation
from his brow, lucky glance through the
other side OF the cab revealed a red light
DAM" he yelled, but there was no an
swer.
In another instant second red light
was passed 1t was plain that something
was wrong and that he and the passengers
behind him, as things then stood, were
riding to almost certain death.
"For God 3 sake, why don't you slow her
upf" he again called to the engineer. we
have passed two red hugs. Check her.
Dan, for Gods sake.

Every moment the engine bounded faster
until the telegraph poles seemed to Stoot
like lead pencils. After his second warn
ing cry he did not wait for an answer but
began to Chamber over into the engineers
side to investigate. He found Mahoney
dead. His lifeless hand was still on the
throttle and his head, wet with blood. rested
on the edge OF the window.
Stoot slowed down the engine. Then he
took the train on to West Philadelphia,
after putting another man at his own end
Of the boiler. Not a passenger nor the
condu ctor knew of the peril OF the train.
Mahoney lived in Brooklyn, and the body
was sent there. He was 40 years old.
About year ago his wife was killed in a
