In official circles IL is considered that

certainly hold to her agreement TO give
France control OF the frontier police, but
will insist on international control of the

contend for this point almost as strongly
as she will her claim to control the from

ENGLAND WILL SUPPORT FRANCE.
Great Britain will support the conten-
tion OF France for the control OF the i'm
terror gendarmerie. as well as all other
French contentious. IL is believed here
that Spain and Italy will take the same
stand. as it Is not thought that any Of
the Powers except Germany Will desire TO
send troops TO Morocco.
The Powers are prepared II Is under
stood to depend on France for the pro-
lection or the interests OF foreigners In

ARMSTRONG
COMMITTEE
IN TROUBLE

ENew York, Jan. 1s.-The Armstrong in
khrance committee is having all sorts OF
kYouble I'm getting tho testimony taken
before It printed and delivered.
( Tho committee awarded the contract for
khe printing OF the testimony 10 the Bran
now company. the state printers. That
Nompany assigned or transferred the con
kract to the wynkoop- -Hallenbeck Craw-
lord company OF this city
According to members OF tho Armstrong
kcommittee. the elder Hallenbeck was
kelected treasurer of the Brandow COM
bany soon after the contract was award
I'd. Under the terms Of the contract
hhe state was to pay for the composition
ht something like 40 cents a page, with
AN extra allowance for stitching and
binding.
The understanding was that the state
,printer was TO deliver the volumes as
l5ast as the testimony was set up ana
bound and not wait for the conclusion OF
fhe inquiry.
Several weeks ago members OF the COM
hnittee learned that the official testimony
was being offered for sale in printed form
by the Wynkoop- -Hallenbeck-C Crawford
company at SIS volume; This was put
ting a price OF $3.50 on the complete tes-
timony. with three volumes of exhibits
Thrown in.
meantime received only one volume OF
the testimony and wanted TO know what
was the matter.
Demands on the printing company for
quicker delivery failed TO net the com
mittee anything, and Senator Armstrong
decided 10 do something TO prevent the
Wynkoop company from selling the testi-
mony. He had the entire evidence copy
righted. He did not take this action
though. until after ne had had state ex-
perts figure on the profit which the print
ing firm would make on the books
The experts reported that. the state
paying for the composition, the work on
the volumes would cost the printing firm
about 40 cents each or 81 n set. For this
expenditure the firm was expecting TO re-
ceive $3.50.
The members OF the committee were
boiling mad over this.
The printing house. IL was said. last
might. had discovered that neither the
AArmstrong committee nor any other com
.mittee OF the legislature. unless expressly
authorized has the power to order print
-ed volumes on the testimony taken be-
fore II.
I. The way things stand now the com
lmittee doesn't know when Il will get the
complete testimony.
