TENSION is OVER
Conference Agreed To in Affairs OF
Morocco.

Morocco.
PARTISAN international confer
ence for the consideration OF the af.
fairs of Morocco is now practically
assured as the result of the CONVEX.
sation between Premier Rouvier and
Prince Radolin, the German ambassa-
dor, and attention is now directed to
defining the scope of the conference.
Details are being rapidly arranged and
the officials expect to be able to an.
nounce tho plans for the conference
in the course of four or five days.
This result, after tho severe strain
which tested the diplomatic resources
of both governments, has the effect
Of relieving the. tension, the officials
of the foreign Office and the diplomats
of the German embassy agreeing that
an amicable adjustment is near at
hand.
Although the acceptance Of the con.
ference gives a certain measure Of
success to German diplomacy, yet NJ.
Rouvier energies from the controversy
WIN tiC VI having
Germany to exactly define the scope
OF the conference and so to rid it of
the objection of being q menace to
French interests. Although the ba.
sis of the conference has not yet been
settled, 1t is understood the two gov
ernments substantially agree on some
of the main features involved Ger.
many has suspected that France had
designs on the sovereignty of Nor
Deco, but the negotiations disclosed
that France had not questioned this
sovereignty. Similarly it was disclos.
ed that France had not designed to
interrupt the present territorial or pc.
litical status quo of Morocco. This
appears to have been one of Germany
chief apprehensions as any change in
Morocco's status quo might involve an
ultimate French protectorate similar
to that over Tunis.
With both governments favorable
to the sovereignty of Morocco and tC
her political status quo, it remains
for the conference to adjust the equal
| ity of commercial rights, as Germany
desires this assurance from an inter
national conference instead OF through
the operations of the Anglo-Frencl
agreement.

BODY OF GOMEZ
LAID IN THE GRAVE

HAVANA-The body of General
Maxine Gomez was Inferred here
after a funeral service so replete with
demonstrations in honor of the dead
general as to lead in several instances
to scenes of disorder The most seri-
GUS trouble occurred while the great
procession was passing Central Park,
when some reckless young Cubans
rushed toward the field gun casson on
which the generals remains were
borne, demanding permission to carry
the body. They were thrust back and
then a bigger crowd rushed forward,
and swayed back and forth across the
broad street temporarily disorganizing
the procession.

DISREGARD THE RED CROSS.
Cossacks Made Brutal Attack on Japa
nese Field Hospital.

LONDON-The Toxic correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph, describing the
Cossack attack on a Japanese field
hospital, which occurred during an at
tack on a Japanese convoy at Taipou-
shin, May 20, as the most disgraceful
incident of the war. says:
DESPITE the prominent display of
Red Cross badges the Cossacks fired
volleys at close quarters and then
charged with drawn swords with the
result that many non-combatants were
killed or wounded. Some of the Rus
SLAMS dismounted and used their bayo-
nets. The steel was thrust down the
mouths of the Japanese and their
heads were nearly cut off and their
bodies disemboweled."

OLD LAW STANDS
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST NEW MEASURE.
THREE OF THE JUDGES CONCUR
New Enactment Would Extend Tenure
of Office in Violation Of the Organic
Aet.-Officials That Will Be Voted
For In the Autumn Election.

LINCOLN, Neb.-The biennial cleo
NAL election law has been declared
void. Chief Justice Holcomb is the au.
thor Of the opinion and 1t was unani-
mously approved by the other judges.
The law. which seeks to do away with
odd years elections. was declared I'M
constitutional because the judges
thought it sought to extend the tenure
of office Of officials whose terms were
fixed by the organic law.
The decision makes it necessary to
hold elections this fall for supreme
Judge, regents and county officials.
Chief Justice Holcomb, in discussing
the argument that the legislature has
right to interpret the constitution
when 1t bears on subjects of n polti-
cal nature and that the rule contend
ed for seems reasonable. but that it
cannot be given the weight urged be-
cause the provisions Of the constitu-
ton will not bear a construction per
hitting the legislature to change the
time Of holding elections for judicial
offices, and extending their terms one
year. The court says:
1.-THE conflict Is so palpable that the
legislative enactment must give way
"lhe action of the legislative
branch of the government Is entitled
to and should receive from the judicial
department the greatest respect and
Difference. This has been freely ac-
corded and ever kept in mind in the
consideration and discussion of the
case at bar. The court should and does
approach a conclusion, resulting in a
holding that the law Is unconstitution-
al, with great caution and hesitancy
The wisdom, policy and expediency
of the law have not been allowed, that
we are conscious of, to in the slight
est degree influence our decision. We
have endeavored to keep within the
legitimate sphere of action belonging
to the judiciary And insofar as hui
man fallibility permits us to reach q
conclusion from n strictly legal and
judicial standpoint, the final and ulti-
mate construction of the constitution
is by that instrument intrusted to the
court We have endeavored to dis.
charge the trust thus reposed in the
tribunal over which we for time
give expression to its utterances and
DEGREES, according to the meaning eX-
pressed or arising by necessary impli-
cation In so doing we are unable to
escape the conclusion that the legisla-
tive enactment in controversy con-
ficts with several Of the provisions OF
the fundamental law. and that the
former must give way and be declared
without legal force, imperative and
void"

BOWEN REMOVED
MINISTER TO VENEZUELA DOWN
AND OUT.
HEAD CUT Off TO SAVE LOOM S
Displaced offclal Charged With Be.
ing Too Active in Showing Up His
Superior Officer--What the Presi.
dent Has to Say.


wAsHINGTON-The dismissal of
Herbert w Bowen. for some years
United States minister to Venezuela,
and the exoneration OF Assistant Sec.
rotary of state Francis b. LOOMS Of
the allegations brought against him
by Mr.. Bowen are the outcome of the
Loomis.Bowen controversy which has
attracted wide attention for many
months past.
This disposition Of the case is made
by President Roosevelt in n letter adj
dressed to Secretary Taft, made pub
lie Tuesday night approving Mr.
Taft's report on his finding and con-
illusions in the case. The president
scathingly arraigns Minister Bowen,
declaring that his conduct is "espec-
tally reprehensible," that Mr.. Bowen
asked one of his witnesses to enter
the employ of a certain company for
the purpose "in plain words Of steal
ing" documents which he hoped might
incriminate MIR. LOOMS and that Mr..
Bowen has evidently for many
months, indeed for the last two years,
devoted himself" to hunting up scan
dial and gossip until it became mon
omania and caused him ito show
complete disloyalty" to the country
he represented,
The president says he had hoped to
promote Mr.. Bowen, as during much
of his service he had done good work,
but that his usefulness in the diplo-
matte service is now at an end. The
president adds that he would direct
that Mr.. Bowen's resignation be re-
quested, but for his statement that he
would consider that resignation an adj
mission of misconduct and the dis
missal Is therefore ordered.
The president states that it appears
that Mr. Bowen while minister Sc.
cured the publication of attacks on
Mr. LOOMS and furnished to the
press documents pending before the
state department for approval and
that his action IS ineXcusable and
shows his CENTRE unfltness' for the
service. Even If Mr. Loomis had been
guilty says the president, Mr.. Bowen's
conduct would be objectionable. The
letter quotes certain correspondence
and testimony. The report of Secre-
tary Taft on the case, on which the
presidents action is based, is volu.
minous document, reviewing the
charges and the evidence taken.

UNDERMINING SOCIETY

NEW YORK-Bishop Farley de-
clared at Carnegie hall at the COM
mencement of the College of st. Fran
els Xavier that the evils of divorce
were undermining the walls of our So

for the marriage covenant must
shortly lead to the downfall of society;
nay, it is even now falling and must
soon be dragged in the dust We see
that it is going to pieces"

LONDON PAPERS ON
PEACE CONFERENCE

LONDON-The acceptance of Wash
ington as the place for the conduct of
peace negotiations is regarded by the
London morning newspapers as a
great compliment to President Roose,
velts diplomacy and as further
proof of the growing influence of the
United States lin international politics.
Moreover it is felt that Japan would
have not proceeded thus far unless
convinced there was reasonable
prospect of the negotiations bearing
fruit, 1t is therefore concluded that
Japan has resolved to propose mod
crate and reasonable terms.

THE CONFERENCE.
Russia Accepts Washington AS Meet
ina Place.


WESTINGHOUSE and Japan
have tentatively decided each to APP
point three plenipotentiaries to repre-
sent them in the Washington confer
ence. M. Nelidoff, IL is understood, has
already accepted the Craftsmanship or
the Russian mission and is being con-
suited about the selection of his as
sistants, but Washington has not yet
heard whether Marquis Ito's health
will permit him to come as the rank
ing Japanese plenipotentiary. The be-
lief here is that Field Marshal Yama-
gaia will be designated in Marquis
Ito's place should the marquis be UNI
able to accept 1t Is believed that the
conference will convene here about
the middle of August.
Pending the official announcement
of the plenipotentiaries little toward
the arrangement of an armistice is be-
ing done on this side. Japan will not
take the initiative in requesting an
armistice. 1t is improbable, however,
that she would insist on Russia max
liS INC REQUEST IL 10 SSucldlly SApSSI-
ed that when the missions have been
announced the president will suggest
to the belligerents the advisability Of
a limited truce and that this slgges-
ton will be accepted. Instructions will
then go to Linevitch and Oyama to
sign the armistice.
The whole question of an armistice
has been informally discussed at the
white house and the belief in diplo-
matte circles is that there will not
be a hitch on this score, Japan pre-
fers that the armistice should be sign
ed in the field by the Russian and
Japanese commanders and there are
indications that this will find approval
in ST. Petersburg.
