Algeciras, Jan. 26.-Count Won Tat.
| tenbach and NJ. Regnault, respectively
German and French specialists on
Morocco, today began the first of
series of detailed private discussions,
with the object of reaching an agree-
| ment outside of the Moroccan confer~
ence.
NJ. Revolt, head of the French miss
OF the German mission, at their meet
ing yesterday, while most pleasant to-
wards each other, avoided touching
upon anything except general ground.
Won Radowitz remarking at one points
We'll, you know we could not let you
| have the policing of Morocco"
Il am sure we shall not ask for it's
replied Revolt.
That was as near as the two diplo-.
mats got to the main question, but they
| arranged for Regnault and Tattenbach
to talk out disputed points thoroughly
Their subject today was the Moroccan
state bank, the question which probably
,, will be the one next to come before
the conference after the problem OF
taxes is disposed Of.
The conference now has four sorts
of activity-the Regnault- -Tattenbach
discussions upon which most attention
! is fixed; subcommittee dealing with
| financial reforms; committee Of whole
from which secretaries are excluded,
and finally the conference itself. The
envoys are firing of this quiet, coast
town and already want to get away,
but it looks as though a month or
more will be required to finish tho
work in hand.

mission to Mine Workers.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 26.-The con-
vention of United Mine Workers Of
America reconvened today for the pur-
pose of deciding upon the course the
miners will take. following the refusal
of the operators to admit the SOUTH
west to the joint conference. The ter
ritVy includes Missouri, Arkansas,
Indian Territory and Kansas. The de-
bate during the morning showed a di-
vision of sentiment and a recess was
taken in order that the miners of the
southwest might meet separately and,
if possible, arrive at some united con-
clusion.
Miners of the southwest in caucus,
decided to stand by the demand for the
admission to the joint conference. 1t
was decided, however, that if the gem
eral miners convention should recede
from it's demand for admission of tht
southwest. then the miners and oper-
ators of that section will meet in joint
caucus to decide upon their future
course.

Jerome. Negative Plea.

New York. Jan. 26.---I will not at
tempt to disguise from you the utter
loathing and contempt I feel for some
OF the witnesses whom I myself have
introduced" declared District Attor-
ney Jerome to the jury today IN his ar
gument for the prosecution in the ac-
ton for criminal libel brought against
Norman Hapgood, editor Of Golfers
weekly, on complaint Of Justice M.
Deuel.. "For more than two weeks now
we have been wandering through
Vanity Fair" said Jerome, witnessing
exhibitions of human weakness and
folly, and, in some instances. of human
degradation" The case is expected to
go to the Jury today
Continuing Jerome said: 1T may be
that ought not to be here prosecuting
one OF the best friends I've got for
crime which, in my private Judgment
I believe he ought to have done anu
which / might have done in his Pl9ce
with more heat and more vim than he
displayed. The law not to restrict the
liberty Of the press has provided that
IL 4 published article be true and pub
lished with justifiable ends, it is
defense. On the ground Of excuse the
prosecution conceded this publication
was honestly made, in the belief that it
was true. II you find that article was
true you have got to acquit.
"Now let us see the character Of this
paper (referring to Town Topics).
Shepard has told you that Colonel
Mann has stated that it was the nat
ural evolution of personal journalism.
II that is true, it ought to be appltca-
Bile to more than one daily paper in
New York whose trend is that way.
There is scarcelSi morning paper
that does not print vile scandals and
obscene matter. I don't see what in
terest it conserves to publish such stuff.
I don't see what interest articles re-
lating to adultery of this or that per-
son have for you and me. Does it
serve any useful purpose? Is it other
than filth? It is put there for no other
purpose than that Of paying dividends
to stockholders. The average news
paper is run from the countingroom
standpoint. Many Of the advertise
ments are but corrupt fund to induce
quiet about this, that or the other.
This is not pleasant statement to
make. but if you ask the average
newspaper man why certain paper
let up on certain proposition, his re-
ply will be-why, didn't you see that
ad. Of so and SO?
. these papers haven't yet reached
the condition that this vile sheet has
reached. am not here to justify
