DtSUPTE THAT THREATENED EU
ROPES PEACE NOW NEAR
ING A SOLUTION.

Berlin, March 2l.-Herr Won RADIO
witz and Count Won Tattenbach, the
German representatives at Algeciras,
have been instructed by the foreign
Office here, provided France meets the
German views on the question OF the
Moroccan bank, to yield on the police
question to the extent Of giving up
Casa Blanca as the headquarters OF
the inspector general, but retaining a
neutral inspectorship with real pow
ers of control over the police. Pre-
vious advices from Algeciras indicated
such an agreement would be accept,
able to France. Therefore, although
no dispatches have been received from
Algeciras during the day, the foreign
office here is convinced that a settle
ment Is in imminent prospect
1t is regarded here as possible that
some detail may delay definite
agreement, although such difficulty
Ia not expected to arise.
A feeling of almost gaiety prevails
at the foreign Office, owing to what is
believed to be the satisfactory disposal
of q question which had threatened to
disturb the peace of Europe.

SECOND JOINT CONFERENCE
BiTUMiNOUS OPERATORS AND
MINERS IN SESSION AT
t INDIANAPOLIS.

indianapolis, March 21.-The Sec
ond joint conference of the coal oper-
ators and miners of the Central com.
petitive district, composed of the
states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania, was called to
order at 2::20 p. IN. by President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
Of America.
G.. W. Traer, Chicago operator,
was elected permanent chairman.
Other officers elected were: Secre-
tary, w. B. Wilson, secretary-treasurer
Of the Mine Workers.; assistant secre-
taries, c. l.. Scroggs, Chicago, and r.
8. Brooks, Columbus, o.
On motion of President Mitchell the
rules of the previous joint conference
were adopted.
There has been a new lining up OF
the Mitchell and Lewis factions In the
miners fight among themselves. This
has resulted in Lewis gaining control
of four of the miners sixteen votes to
be cast in joint conferences and joint
scale sessions and there are strong
indications that he can get four more
the Pittsburg district vote-should
he wish to carry out any policy differ
ent from that advocated by President
Mitchell. 1t has also resulted in W..
H. Haskins rendering his resignation
as president of the Ohio miners to
take effect Thursday.
