FRENCH ARE GIVEN
FREE HAND TO ACT
United States Willing to Risk Damage
to Monroe Doctrine in Present
Crisis.

Washington, Jan. 22.- Convinced of
the sincerity of the assurances receiv-
ed from France regarding her loyalty
to the Monroe doctrine and all that 1t
involves, the Washington government
has given the Paris government a free
hand in the execution of the program
for the solution of the Venezuelan
problem. The conferences on this
phase of the question occurred some
time ago and Mr.. JuSserand. the French
ambassador, has filed assurance that
the efforts of France TO obtain diplo-
matte treatment for her charge
d'affaires at Caracas will not be inter
preted at Washington as in any way
violative of the Monroe doctrine.

ATTORNEY IN JAIL WITH
MEN WHOM HE CONVICTED
Denver Official Refuses to Pay Fine fof
Contempt-Friends Send Many
Flowers.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 22-With his cell
full of flowers, District Attorney
George Stidger spent Sunday in jail.
He was committed for contempt Satur-
day night at IL O'Clock by District
Judge Frank Johnson. who fined him
$500. which Mr. Stidger refused to pay.
Judge Johnson alleged that District At
torney Stidger had obstructed the ma
chinery of the court in its efforts to
close public gambling.
Nearly 1000 visitors called at the jail
yesterday. and scores of messenger
boys brought flowers sent by admiring
friends of the district attorney, who
occupied a cell between Leonard I'M
boden and J. A. Hill. the bank wreck
ers, whom Stidger himself convicted.
During the day the persifiage that pass
ed between Stidger and his two bank
wrecking victims was amusing.

DELAYED
Main Question Between France
and Germany Avoided in
Morocco Agreement.
DRAFT BEFORE CONFERENCE
Gives African Nation Power to Admin
lister Coast Patrol and Bar
Contraband.

Algeciras, Jan. 22-The committee
examining into the question of contra
band has completed the draft of an
agreement which was submitted to the
conference today. The agreement,
while temporarily solving this question,
appears to be purposely framed to fur
ther delay main issues between France
and Germany.
The draft provides that the various
powers pass laws prohibiting their citi-
zens exporting arms TO Morocco and
the coast patrol against contraband is
restricted to Morocco's territorial wa
ters, thus avoiding the search or seiz-
ure of vessels upon the high seas.
Morocco VIII Patrol.
1t is apparent that the theory of the
agreement is that Morocco will admin
lister the coast patrol, who will be
charged with this duty, and therefore
the delicate Franco-German controver-
sy concerning whether France alone
or all the powers will exercise surveil-
lance is deferred until the question of
ponce mas Oeeu eAdHiIHSu. AS Hei-
many and France are both represented
in the agreement it seems TO insure
the acceptance of the plan by the con-
ference.
OutwardIy Favorable.
Both. sides express outward satisfac-
ton. the Germans appearing to con-
slider this another step in deferring
Frances exercise of any special sur
veillance or authority in Morocco.

the most important deal with the mar

be married in Zion City it is necessary
TO procure the permission of DR..
Dowie. just as it is necessary to get a
marriage license in other cities.
During DR.. Dowies last visit to Zion
City Deacon Cotton asked permission
to marry his sister-in-aw. This was
refused peremptorily The exact reas-
on was not given out. but it is sup
posed that DR.. Dowie desired the colI-
pie to wait until another year at least
had passed. One other instance is on
record of deacon being required to
wait two years.
As soon as DR.. Dowie had gone Mr.
Cotton applied. to Overseer Speicher
for license. This was granted. and
the deacon and his sister-in-law were
married on Dec 23. hardly a week af-
ter DR.. Dowie had sailed.

which threw the officers of the church

Washington, Jan. 22.-Although Miss
Roosevelt is to be married to Congress
man Nicholas Longworth in a month
and all Washington is looking forward
for the ceremony are still in tenta-
tive state. For one thing there is the
matter of invitations to consider. Mrs.
Roosevelt believes that the personal
friends of the two families should re-
ceive adequate recognition, and that
Miss Roosevelt's hostesses of the past
in various cities should not be counted
out Miss Roosevelt has been so ex-
tensively entertained that were none
but these families TO be invited they
would fill the allotted space.
Thinks of Congressmen.
Miss Roosevelt's desire is for an Of
ficial wedding. She is particularly an
xious that Mr.. Longworth's associates
in the house of representatives shall
be first considered. She contends that
they all will be anxious to see their
colleague married and that they ought
TO be asked
Miss Roosevelt wishes to be cour-
teous to the foreign powers and to ask
their representative to this country to
be present-the ambassadors and min
listers, with their wives. She wants
the judges of the supreme court also.
Of course the membership of the SEN
ate would be included with that of the
house Then there is the Philippine
party, the members of which Miss
Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth natur-
ally want invited for reasons of senti-
ment.
Make Long List.
With a few of the most intimate
friends of the bridal couple added, this
list would be almost excessive. ,Just
what decision will be reached is a mat
ter of conjecture; but it is safe TO say
that the wishes of the bride-elect prob
ably will prevail.
The ceremony will be performed in
the middle east window alcove of the
east room. This will afford the best
opportunity possible for the guests to
see the ceremony They will assemble
not only in the east room. but also in
