LONG CONFERENCE AT END
Germany Finally Yields to Opponents
Plan of Policing Country for
Foreigners Safety.


ALGECIRAS. March 3I--At the
meeting of the plenary conference
which has been considering the subject
of the Moroccan reforms. held yester-
day afternoon. a complete accord was
reached on all the disputed questions
which have kept the congress from
coming to a settlement for the long
weeks that the delegates of the various
powers have been detained in this little
Spanish town.
The conference has been in session
since January II, and in the days that
have intervened at various times Il has
seemed certain that the congress would
break up without results.
Radowitz Sees Revolt.
Before the meeting of the pIenary
conference there was long conference
in which NJ Revolt, the senior French
delegate, and Herr Won Radowitz. the
leading German representative. were
the principals. The police question was
threshed over for the last time and the
French and German Representatives
came to a thorough understanding It
is this agreement which has formed the
basis of the present accord and the
agreement of the French and German
delegates, who have all along been
vitality opposed to each other, enabled
the conference to reach a happy con-
clusion.
BY the terms of the arrangement upor
the police Spain is to police Tetuan' and
La Roche and a mixed Spanish-French
police force will be established ar Tan
gier and Casablanca- The French alone
Will police the four Atlantic ports OF
Mogador. Saffi. Aazagan and Rabat.
The duration of the police agreement is
fixed ar FIVE years.
Victory for France
This plan is virtually a victory for
France.
Germany, who forced the conference
which appears TO have practically COM
pleted its labors. has gained in the vir-
tuaI recognition of the open door, in
Morocco, but as trading with Morocco
was practically free anyway. hers is
merely moral victory.

Confident Of Majority.

For this court review plan the friends
of the legislation are confident they can
command a comfortable majority of the

the Democrats will be with them, and
their list shows twenty-nine Repub-

The Administration review plan is
understood to have been put into shape
by Attorney General MOODY.

The amendment outlined at yester-

Aldrich has been demanding and on
the other hand il is more than the
Doiliver-Hepburn people have wanted
to concede- 1t is believed. however, to
constitute a basis on which there may
be substantial agreement at an early
date. Indeed, the announcement of the
conference was the signal for the gem
eral comment that the rate debate was
at last nearing its end.

What President Wants.

ApIopos of the discussion of court re-
view proposals. it is said on good au-
thority that the President would like
nothing better than the adoption of the
Bailey plan of denying to the subordin-
ate Federal courts the power of suspend
ing or enjoining orders Of the commits
sion: provided, of course, that the con-
stitutionality of the proposal were GER
tain IL this could be written into tbe
law with proviso that a ruling against
its constitutionahty should not invaH-
date the entire statute, the President
would be well pleased; and there are
good lawyers who say this can be done.
Senator Tillman made proposition
on the Senate floor the other day that
will probably be offered and. its friends
believe. will be accepted III the court
may enjoin and suspend a reduced rate
made by the commission, why should II
not likewise suspend an advance of a
