been on trial before Judge Foster in General
Sessions on a charge Of forgery, was con-
victed yesterday. The jury was out seven
minutes. He will be sentenced next Friday,

taught what the Bible preached on Sun
day and the other days Of th$ week he de-
voted himself to buncoing people. just
before that Browne had made a speech
to the Court in which he said that he was an
honest man, but that the law was at fault
and he had unwittingly taken advantage
of it.
Assistant District Attorney Train then
called John j Kunze Of SCI Union street,
Brooklyn, to the stand. Kunze said that
for twenty-seven years he and his father
had worked from s in the morning until 10
o'clock at night making brooms. Kunse
exhibited a hand with a couple Of fingers
missing, which he said he had lost at his
work..
He and his father saved 81 500 and one
day Browne came to them with a propo-
sition to take a mortgage on some property.
They fell into Brownies scheme, and Browne
got the money. Later they learned that
he bad no power to mortgage the property.

SOUTHERN MAN NEXT" PARKER
Judge Want Democratic Nominee From
That Section.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., March 1e.-Judge
Alton B. Parker OF New York was the guest
Of honor at a reception in the parlors Of
the Southern Manufacturers Club this
evening.
The burden of Judge Parker's remarks
was that the next Democratic nominee
for President should come from the South.
He cited the wonderful advance which the
South has made, declaring that in politics
only had the South stepped aside.
Nebraska had been tried inc then New
York, but failure had resulted in each case.
All the Democratic training schools Of the
North. elementary, intermediate and higher,
were closed. OF the young men voting in
the North fully 80 per cent. are now allied
with the Republican party.
The organizations of the Democratic
party are dead. Many of the old time
leaders nave abdicated or have become
Republicans. Mr.. Parker asks: when
such conditions confront you why should
you hesitate?"
The time has come when the really eff
feotive Democrats of the country should be
recognized, and when they themselves
should no longer hesitate"

CASHIER HELD; BANK CLOSED.
First National OF Freeland. Pa, Alleged
TO Have Lost $50, 900.


FREELANp, Pa, March 1e.-A sensation
was created here this evening when it was
announced that F. NJ. Everett, cashier of
the First National Bapk, was under arrest
charged with embezzlement and that the
bank would not be open for business to-
morrow.
The alleged embezzlement amounts to
$50, 600. This is the sum that Everett ia al
legged to nave confessed that he is short,
but until the balance sheets from reserve
repositories are received the exact amount
cannot be known.
The first intimation that the bank Of
ficials had Of anything wrong was when the
check Of slips from the reserve repositories
began to reach President Amandus Oswald
to-day.
An examination was made early in the
week by a national bank examiner. At
that time the books appeared to he straight,
and there was not the slightest suspicion
against Everett.
After the receipt Of the frat balance
this morning President Oswald discovered
that there was something wrong and he
called a meeting of directors. Everett
was asked to explain, and it is said, broke
down and admitted that he had advanced
money to Beckley q McKilloff, paper mill
proprietors of Catawissa, which would foot
up $50 900. He maintained that their paper
was good.
After the bank closed this evening Everett
boarded a trolley car for Hazleton just as
President Oswald was having the warrant
issued charging him with embezzlement.
He was caught in Hazleton. At the same
time a warrant was issued for +. NJ. Beckley
on charges of conspiracy. Both men were
held by United States Commissioner Hill
until the bank examiner arrives.

Special Cable Dispatches 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, March 1e.-The Berlin cor
respondent OF the Tribune says that Ger
many has made an important conditional
concession on the Moroccan police ques-
ton, recognizing that the weight Of opinion
is against the Austrian scheme, by which
the lnspector-Gener at Casa Blanca would
also be the commandant OF the place. Ger
many witbdraws this part OF the scheme
and agrees to add Casa Blanca to the other
seven ports to be controlled by the Franco
Spanish police on condition that interna-
tional control be guaranteed through a
neutral INSPECTOR General, whose place OF
residence will be immaterial.
ALaEoIRAs, March l6.-A plenary session
Of the Moroccan conference was expected
to be held tomorrow, but it is unlikely
that it will take place before Tuesday.
The situation has not progressed, but re-
ports persist that a compromise is being
negotiated with strong hope Of success.

POLICE EXAMINATION FRAUDS.
Civil Service Board Cancels Test Of Ser.
Eeants n VIII Make Charges.

President William F. Baker of the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Commission after a
meeting held yesterday OF that body an
nounced that the examination of police
sergeants for ~captaincies held on Deem
her 2S had been declared void. Mr.. Baker
minated that there had been fraud prac-
tised in the examination Of the papers.
At the close OF the meeting Of the COM
mission it was announced by President
Baker that these two resolutions had been
adopted:
That the examination for promotion
from the grade OF sergeant to that Of cap
tain in the Police Department, held Deem
Der 20, 1905, be and the same Is hereby can
celled, the reason for such cancellation be-
ing that the commission found certain
grave Irregularities in,the papers Of sew
eral of the candidates, sufficient, in their
opinion, to warrant such cancellation, in
order to insure absolute justice and Impair
tiality to all the candidates.
That a new examination for promotion
to the grade of captain in the Police Depart
ment be held at the earliest possible date"
The examination took place at the Grand
Central Palace Nearly four hundred
candidates appeared. In order to avoid
any poSSlDillly vi ledhs, tne civil seINiCe
commissioners had the final questions pre-
pared at the Grand Central Palace just
before the examination, and had the papers
mimeographed on an apparatus taken to
the building.
Yet, despite these precautions, it has
come to the knowledge Of President Baker
and his colleagues that there are irregular
tiles in the makeup Of the eligible list.
President Baker was not prepared to say
yesterday just what had been discovered in
the investigation which led to the resolu-
ton Of yesterday, but it can be stated that
the fraud has been traced to the examiners
department.
From what could be learned yesterday
from Mr.. Baker, some Of the candidates.
papers were Improperly marked by one or
perhaps moro examiners. He intimated
that in a day or two charges will be made
which may lead to the discharge Of at least
one examiner.
1t has been suspected for some time past
that there have been Irregularities in the
examination Of papers. Investigations
have been carried on by the commissioners
and they now nave evidence enough to
warrant the bringing of charges.
