VIII Not Join Conference.

London, June 15.-Great Britain, as
one OF the powers signatory to the
Madrid convention of 1880. in answer
to the request Of the sultan OF Mo
rocco to join an international confer
ence for the consideration of the
Moroccan question, has answered that
its preference is not to take part In
the conference unless such action
would be satisfactory to France.
The United States has taken the
same stand. the two powers being in
accord with France that such a con
ference would not be the best way oi

the house, and there was an outburst Of
applause-the first applause Of the en-

the company's salvation.

looked round and at once his self-con-

they were laughing at him alone, but

SENIOR DROPPED FROM GLASS
ORGANIZATION.
Managing Editor of 1905 Gopher Ceased
to Be Member of the Glass Society
at Noon Today-Referred His Side of
the Financial Tangle to Faculty Com
mittee.

AS result of the most drastic ac-
ton ever taken by a university. class,
Edward G. O 'Brien, managing editor of
the 1905 Gopher, is barred from parti-
cipation in the various activities of the
senior class.
Last Thursday O'Brien and Charles
f. Salisbury, business. manager of last
years Gopher, were given five days to
make good deficit of more than 500
which a committee from the class was
unable to account for. Yesterday
0 'Brien appeared and denied response
bility for the financial end, but said he
had turned the matter over to the fac
ulty and was willing to abide by it's
decision as to his liability.
The seniors held that as the class
found itself confronted with a debt of
over 5000 as result of the publication
of the Gopher, it was the proper body
to listen to the explanation, SO a motion
was passed enforcing the previous ,ac-
ton. The five days Of grace were UP
at noon today.
The class has asked the faculty that
O'Brien be not graduated and the COM
mittee on students work will report

VICTORY FOR SCHRAPS
CAN SELL LIQUOR IN HIS SIXTH
STREET RESTAURANT FOR A
TIME AT LEAST.

Charles R. schraps can sell liquor in
his Sixth street restaurant for the pres
ent at least. By virtue Of an order
filed today by Judge John Day Smith,
the license voted by the city council
can. be issued and liquor can be sold
pending an appeal to the supreme court,
or the beginning. of a new suit.
Judge Smith holds the law limiting
the number Of saloons on Sixth street
between Hen'nepin and Nicollet ave-
nues, constitutional, but denies the mo-
tion for an injunction on the ground
that the plaintiffs, Klein & Pauntz, have
shown no special damage such as en-
titles them to relief or standing in a
court of equity: This firm brought
suit against city officials to e'njoin

Just what step will be taken next is
not decided, but it is certain that Klein
