Judge Reed Tells Mercer Grand
Jury to Avoid the Scandals of
Its Predecessor.

TRENTON, Jan. 17:-Supreme
Court Judge Alfred Reed charged the
grand jury of Mercer county yester-
day and ordered it in the most Vigor-
Gus language that a judge has even
been known to use in the Mercer
county courts to thoroughly investi-
gate charges that Trenton policemen
fail to report Sunday selling of
liquor. He also ordered the jury to
r~einvestigate a poolroom raid in this
city a few months ago and bring in
indictments of the persons captured
at that time if the evidence warrant
ed.
He remarked forcibly on the fact
that the last grand jury had only in
dicted three non-residentS, allowing
about fifty Trenton men to go free.
He also directed inquiry into the al
legation of election frauds in this
city last November and into charges
that several country hotels yer yio-
lating the excise laws. The charge
is all the more remarkable because
all of these matters were before the
last grand jury and were ignored.
Judge Reed declared it the duty of
the grand jury to keep its councils
secret and thus avoid the public
scandal that followed the work of the
preceding grand jury. The court
said that the work of the last grand
jury was known outside the council
chamber almost as soon as the de-
cisions were made.
Indictments had been found and
a%fterward reconsidered, he said, be-
cause of outside influence brought to
bear by persons outside the grand
jury room The judge said that the
action of a grand juror was to be
guided only by the sworn testimony
brought before him. Any II who
approached a grand puror outside of
the jury room and attempted to in
nuence his action was liable to in
dictment and to be punished for on
tempt of court, and il was the duty
of the grand juror so approached TO
report to the court.
Former Sheriff Thomas Thropp is
foreman of the present grand jury,
which is made up of clergymen,
physicians and business men.

Moroccan Conference Is Opened
at AIgeCiras Our Government
Would Aid MOOrS.

ALGECIRAS, Spain, Jan. 1.-THE
Moroccan conference was opened mere
with a scene of great animation. The
American and English delegations ar
rived first at the town hall, followed by
the Spanish, French, German and ltal-
ian representatives.
The conference was opened by the
Duke of AlmodOvar, the Spanish FOR
eign minister, who delivered the speech
of welcome. Herr won Radowitz. chief
of the German mission, proposed the
Duke of Almodovar as president of the
conference, and the other countries
represented, including the United
States. seconded the proposal, with the
result that the duke was unanimously
elected president.
During the course of his opening adj
dress the Duke of Almodovar said:
The powers have clearly shown
their desire that order, peace and
prosperity shall reign throughout Mo
rocco. The sultan as well as the for
cigu governments desire this end,
which is obtainable by introducing re-
forms upon the triple principle of the
sovereignty of the sultan, the integrity
Of his territory and equal commercial
extraordinarily, the open door.
Mutual respect for our reciprocal
interests and Il sincere desire TO con-
ciliate them must be, according to my
view. our rule Of conduct at this CON
ference. Our own sentiment as well
as the eXpectant attitude of the entire
world dictates such Il cOnciliatory solu-
tiou."
The conference adjourned after de-
Gliding TO begin the next session with
discussing the surveillance of contra
band arms and then take up the ques'
ton of financial reforms.
Ambassador White is well satisfied
with the result of the meeting, as when
the Duke of Almodovar emphasized the
necessity for the independence of Mo
rocco and the open door he was imme-
diately and strongly seconded by the
French and German delegates.
The American delegates will endeav-
or to obtain such advantages for Amer
lean commerce, but protection for life
and property and such equality of trade
rights as will effectively remove the
to foreign trade that have hith-
ertO existed and make the door to the
commerce of Morocco worth the open
ing. They will impress upon their con
freres the fact that while the Washing
ton government gives hearty indorse-
ment to the principle of the open door
its interest does not stop there.
This government desires not only that
the door shall be opened to the worlds
trade. but that it shall be utilized in Il
way that shall prove beneficial alike
to Morocco and to the treaty powers.
The American delegates will favor the
betterment of religious and class ON
ditionS in Morocco, all of which are
regarded as important factors in the
proper and effective policing of the
interior and in paving the way to in
tercourse between Morocco and the
outside world. Propositions looking
to the benefit and betterment of the
Moroccan people calculated to enable
them TO participate in and derive bene-
fits from the worlds trade will receive
the favorable consideration Of the
American delegates.

to have called at the convent to felicitate
Father Hinch on his new honor. and the
various church organizations presented him
with substantial mementoes OF the occasion.
The two sodalities of the church sent val
liable gold watch. while the church choir.
which Is under the direction OF Miss Bar
bara Bischoh. gave suitable chain to 40
company II. The ushers or the church ac-
companied their well wishes with an UNI
brella. while the children OF the Sunday
school. which Is presided over by Father
O'Rourke, made an offering OF an up-to-
date suit case.
St Dominic's is generally considered to
be one of the most beautiful and imposing
Of the local churches. Aside from the ar

of the Order Of st. Dominic came
to this city to found a Catholic Church in
the southwestern section Of the city.
when the aston was Rev. J. A. Boz
KEEL and his assistants were Rev. Fathers
Coll. Ralph and Young. November 0 Of
that year Father Bokel broke ground for
the new church. and ten days after the
cornerstone was laid. The walls of st.
Dominic's were raised twenty-five feet when
the work came to a standsttll because OF
lack of funds. This was due to the ravages
Of the war. But the jealous fathers left
nothing untrfed to raise funds for the COM
pletion OF the church. Three of them went
to New York and secured mission there.
Then they were asked to give more mis-
sions. and finally. so evident. 1t is stated.
was the plentiful fruit of their labors In
that city. that the archbishop of New York
offered them the foundation for a Donlinf-
can church and convent in his diocese. This
word was received with conflicting senti
ments by the missionaries. II they accept
ed the archbishop's offer the funds they
raised would have to be applied to build
ing the new parish in New York, and then,
too, here was the unfinished church in this
city. They wrote to Father Bokel here.
who replied that they should accept the
offer, that It was for the good of souls, and
declaring that est. Donlinic's will be COM
pleted when God wills it,
Then the walls of the church were COW
cred up, and in a few years looked more
like ruin than a new work. But there
had also been other difficulties. Before
the new church was started Father Bokel
was told one morning that the church
had been sold for taxes. The
fathers who first came had been wrong
fully told that the property was free from
taxes. The old church was then where the
school building is now, and in hunting up
