the negroes and his arm broken. The
white men then returned to Farmville
and reported the matter to the officer,
who in company with several other
white men, went to arrest the two ne

his buggy and told the two negrves to
consider themselves under arrest,

placed under arrest. He attempted to
shoot the Grifton officer who arrested
him.
Both negroes had pistols, one 50

performed an autopsy on the con-
stables body to ascertain what size bull

the informant of The Free Press which

AGREEMENT HARD TO REACH
Cannot Satisfy Both France and
Germany.

Algecfras. January 24.-The conf
dental exchanges now going on among
the representatives of the powers in
the Moroccan conference disclose the
extreme difficulty of arranging an
agreement that both France and Ger
many would accept.
The German delegates put forward
the attractive principle of disinterest-
edness and equal privileges for all
countries. The French delegates, on
the other hand. maintain that France
cannot be disinterested. They affirm
that having followed an active policy
in Morocco for eight years and having
obtained numerous advantages. France
should not now be asked to take the
same position as all the rest of the
world.
The real struggle however. is over
the political future of Morocco. France
would rather withdraw from the con-
ference than tie up the political des-
tiny of Morocco by international con-
troll
The conference today adopted all the
articles of the report of the committee
on contraband relating to the preven-
ton of the trade in contraband arms
and passed the consideration of econc-
mic questions.

Harvard's action seems to impend a
general curtailing of athletics. It is
believed that considerable feeling has
been aroused at Yale and that the sons
of Ell are now casting about over their
resources to see how they can meet
such action by Harvard in an indepen-
dent spirit.
1t is known that a portion of the
Yale faculty, looking into the question
of athletics at Yale and the manage
ment thereof, is in favor of very rail-
cal changes. 1t is believed. however,
that Yale will not take any drastic ac

the leaders and majority interested
