Minor Questions Before Moroccan
Conference Settled
GRAvER ISSUES NOW AT HAND
Issue Hinges on Who Shall Control the
Police OF Morocco-DeIexafes show
Great Anxiety rs to the Outcome.
They are Trying to Secure n Settle
ment Before the Question Reaches
Open Conference

Algeciras, February 3.-The confer
ence on the Moroccan reforms has
now been freed OF most OF the minor
questions before IL and finds Itself
fast approaching graver issues which
heretofore caused the serious strain
In the relations between France and
Germany. This issue hinges on who
shall control the policy of Morocco.
as 1t appears to be recognized thai
whoever controls this semi military
Organization, will control Morocco tt
self
The delegates to the conference
have shown increasing anxiety at the
approch Of this issue, knowing the
intense feeling it has aroused between
france and Germany, and according
ly, the representatives OF the disinter-
ested powers are redoubling their ef-
forts to secure an accord before the
question reaches the open conference
and thereby avert an open controversy
and a possible deadlock. Various
compromise plans are being discuss
ed The ambassadors say tonight
they are hopeful that a middle ground
will be found that will be acceptable
to both countries; but they admit the
extreme difficulty of finding such q
ground owing to the firmness both
France and Germany thus far have
shown against making concessions.
The conferences today definitely re-
jected the plan proposed by the Moors
for the reform of the Moroccan tariff
and the determination to frame q GUS
toms system more in accord with the
views Of the foreign powers.
The conference further decided TO
prepare a project to ocer
prepare project to overcome Moroc-
co.'s antiquated methods restricting ex-
ports. The latter project will reduce
the export taxes on many articles and
do away with the rules by which Tan
gier is the only port for which live
stock can leave Morocco.
The conference Is thus seeking TO
make the o~en door swing both ways,
for exports and for imports.

House Desire to Record Their Views

lima Endorses the Bill In All its Fea-
lures.

phases Of the railroad rate question
were threshed' over in the House to-
day in the course Of nine speeches
which occupied and half hours. This
concludes the fifth day of the discus
sion, but the end is not yet. Many of
the members on both sides of the
House desire to record their views
and general debate will be allowed
to continue.
Mr.. Clayton, of Alabama, said the
legislation in principle was as old as
the common law. Mr.. Henry, of Tex
as. showed how it was supported by
the constitution, and the courts. MIR.
Esch, of Wisconsin, explained how the
bill was broad enough to include the
regulation of express companies. Mr..
Kennedy, of Ohio, presented an argu-
ment to contradict the claim that the
control of railways was interference
with private pOrperty. Mr.. Crum-
packer, of Indiana. believed economic
condition would still control in rate
matters as they should, notwithstand
ing the granted authority in the bill,
which he approved. Mr.. Ellis, of Mis-
souri,, saw in the bill what he regard
ed as a conservative move in the
right direction. Mr.. Hogg, of Color
ado, opposed granting legislative and
judicial functions to the same body,
which he said would result from the
enactment of the pending bill into
law. Mr.. Floyd, of Missouri, said it
was x saving of the, country from So
cialism, and radicalism rather than 4
step in that direction. Mr.. Page, of
North Carolina. endorsed the bill. in
all it's features.
A complaint regarding the manner
in which the newspapers handled the
cotton statistics yesterday was made
by Mr.. Sims, of Tennessee. Mr.. Sims
complained of what he termed an ef-
fort on the part OF certain newspapers
to belittle the information. He de-
clared it was decidedly valuable to the
growers. Mr.. Payne, IN. " asked II
the information had not affected the
market in that direction. 1t had gone
up and then down and then UP again.
answered Mr. Sims.

HOPE TO AVERT A STRIKE
Miners Seem to Think Some Peaceful
Settlement Will be Reached-Meet-
ing Of the National Executive Board
of the Organization.

indianapolis, Ind, February 3.-The
national executive board of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, met be-
hind closed doors this morning, and
remained in session until evening.
Routine business was traSacted. A
special levy of s. week on each
member of the organization, to Gre
ate strike fund, was discussed in
formally and no action was taken.
There is an intimation that pressure
has been exerted on some of the board
members to cut the proposed assess
ment in two. There is little likeli-
hood that this will be done. Secretary
y. B. Wilson is especially determined
that the funds thus raised shall be at
least $4,000, 900, and the other nation
al officers and a majority of the board
members are of the opinion that this
sum will not be found too large if a
strike is declared on April 1. Ac-
cording to the figures at the head
quarters of the mine workers, a gen.
eral strike April /, would bring out of
the mines 100000 men, if the non-un-
ion miners of West Virginia, num-
bering 10000, could be induced TO
strike with the union men of the 9TH
er districts.
The last of the operators and min
ers left for their homes today, leav-
ing only the members of the nation
al executive board of the mine work
ers here. There was feeling of op-
timism among both operators and min
ers when they left. Few expressed
a belief that there would be strike.
though no one ventured to predict the
means by which a strike would be
averted
