TRYING TO EXCITE AMERICAN COMMERCIAL SPIRIT
Wonderful Stories Told of Richness of Morocco and Our Dele

Algeciras, Jan. 21.-The American
delegates to the Moroccan conference
have been impressed with the unde-
veloped wealth Of Morocco and the OPP
portunities it affords for American en-
terprises Wonderful stories are told
Of coal deposits within an hours ride

sources which are greater than those

marked one of the plenipotentiarIes.
Samuel R. Gummere, the American
minister to Morocco and one of the
delegates to the. convention, however,
raised some practical difficulties in the
way of Americans profiting IN this
field, as Europeans control, the ship

English literature and samples. Mr..

the reports Of the undevelOped riches

MOROCCO COMES FIRST,
France Not Ready to Tackle Vene-
zueIa at This Time.

Paris, Jan. H.-It appears to be GER
tain that the French government has
resolved not to take action with re-
gard to Venezuela until the full re-
port Of M. Taigny reaches the foreign
office. This report is expected to come
by way of Washington, where NJ. Taig-
ny will turn it over to NJ. Jusserand,
the French ambassador.
The question of demanding an eX-
traordinary credit is held in allegiance
for the present. According to authori-
tative information, Premier Rouvier
does not see the necessity at present
in using fOrcible means to obtain repair
alton for the insult to NJ. Taigny, and
it is probable that he will mainly rely
on the influence of the United States
with President Castro. The desire to
see In which direction the Moroccan
conference will turn also forms a fac
tor which restraints France from pre-
eipitately burdening herself with an
other difficult question, the solution of
which is possible and which might In
volve a delicate situation in connection
with other powers having dealings with
the Venezuelan government

Eureka, Jan. 21.-R. S. Robertson, SUI
perintendent Of the Victoria Gold Min
company Of Tintic, met his death about
O'Clock last night by falling a dis
lance Of fifty-four feet into a shaft of
the Brooklyn-Eureka property, which
adjoins the property Of the first named
company on the east. Mr.. Robertson
went over to the neighborino property
to secure a shovel which had been left
by the miners who a short time ago
did assessment work there. The heavy
snow had covered the opening over the
shaft and Robertson walked directly
into the hole.

The mine is located about five miles

FRENCH CAN Do
AS THEY PLEASE
This Government Will Not Call 9
Halt in the Castigation of
Little Venezuela

Washington, Jan. 21.-Convinced of
the sincerity Of the assurance received
from France regarding her loyalty to
the Monroe doctrine, and all that it
involves, the washington government
has given the Paris government free
hand in the execution of the pro-
gramme for the solution of the Ven
eZUelan problem. The conferences on
this phase Of the question occurred
some time ago and NJ Jusserand, the
French ambassador, has final assur-
ances that the efforts Of France to
obtain diplomatic treatment for her
charge d'affaires at Caracas will not
be interpreted at Washington as in any
way violative of the Monroe doctrine.
Orders Kept Secret.
The first move in the execution Of
the French programme may be expect
ed at any time but in this point the
French government Is observing the
strictest secrecy, the orders to the
squadron going direct from Paris and
not through the embassy here. NJ.
Taigny, the retiring French charge,
who, it is believed, is now at Curacao,
will come to this country on his way
home and on his arrival at New York
he will find an invitation from the
dIuUdSSdQOE DIT w u
spend several days here in conference
with NJ. Jusserand, on whom the bur
den Of an important phase of the
Venezuela n negotiations naturally
falls, may have the benefit OF the facts
about the situation. It is not unlikely
that NJ. Taigny will also see Secre-
tary Root.
Whereabouts Unknown.
The whereabouts Of the French ships
remain a mystery so far as the Off
Gals Of the state department and
French embassy Aare concerned, It is
said. It is assumed, however, that
they are daily in touch with the min
istry Of marine at Paris and are await
ing an opportune moment to take such
action as their instructions may pro-
vide for.
Great interest Is felt In diplomatic
circles here about the exact nature Of
a sentence found Objectionable In the
note Of President Castro to M. Taigny.
This sentence IN substance referred to
the presentation by NJ. Taigny of
note to the Venezuelan government
and announced the complete severance
of all relations until adequate explana-
ton was made Of conduct which was
in effect described by President Cas-
tro as not customary among well-man-
nered nations,

The foregoing is a complete list of
the men who met death in the sno--
slide at Alta, in the Little Cottonwood
canyon, early Saturday morning. Their
bodies were brought to Sandy about
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Death came to the six men while
they slept. Two of those who we're
killed were sleeping with three other
men, who survived, in a saloon run by
Ross ArInburst. The other four were
sleeping in a building known as Matti-
sons boarding house. The saloon and
boarding house stood close together.
The force Of the slide caved In the front
of the saloon and partly wrecked the
boarding house.
Three Men Escape.
Three men who were in the saloon
building escaped with their lives. They
were Ross .Armburst, the proprietor;
Johnny" Baker of Union, his partner,
and a man named Lee Hendrix. Muir
ply and Gray, two of the six killed,
were in the same building.
Armburst and Baker were sleeping
together. ArmbUrst found himself bu-
ried under three feet of snow and de-
bris, and, while his back was badly in
jured, he extricated himself without
much difficulty, and helped Baber TO
crawl out Together they assisted Hen
dirk to regain his feet
1t was pitch dark and showing The
men were clad only in their night
clothes, but in the freezin" cold they
CROPPED around in the dark in a vain
effort to find and succor their unfor-
tunate companions. They were unable
to locate them, and the cold finally
forced them to abandon the attempt,
seek shelter and wait for daylight.
Others Are Ali Killed.
Powell, Erickson, Bennett and Clay
burn were the only occupants of Mat
tison's boarding house, and all per-
ished. When daylight came a party
went to work and dug the bodies out
of the wrecks of the two buildings, The
last bodies were recovered about noon
Saturday. Yesterday morning they
were placed on a sled and driven to
Sandy by L. E. Desplains.
The sled, loade- with its grewsome
load of human freight, arrived in Sandy
yesterday afternoon. The body Of Will
liam Powell was at 6once recognized
and claimed by his mother and STEP
father, Mr.. and Mrs. John Mattison,
who live in Sandy. lie also has two
brothers living there.
The other bodies were placed IN
char of City Marshal Ward Of San
dy, and Will remain IN his custody until
Sheriff G. Frank Emery and County
Attorney Farley P. Christensen arrive
this morning. They will determine
whether or not an inquest shall be held,
but, in view OF the clearly apparent
manner in which the men lost their
lives, the necessity OF holding one is
doubtful.

of the slide, has a mother living in

Mr.. Woodruff later took occasion to
say that he was not candidate for

all his time and In the present cir
cumstances, he did not see how it
would be possible for him to so ad-

the work Of the craftsmanship Of the

said, did not intend to interfere in the

position.

Did Much Damage.
Aside from the buildings mentioned,
the only structure in the path OF the
slide was an old stable which was de-
molished. Much other damage was
done, however. Some towers belonging
to the Continental tramWay were
knocked over, as were a number of
poles belonging to the Columbus Con-
solidated's power plant Telephones
went down IN profusion, and, in fact,
the slide left a scene Of havoc in its
wake. Telephone communication with
Alta is entirely cut off.

side Of Little Cottonwood canyon, from

about a quarter of a mile before It
