MOROCCAN AFFAIR
NEARLY SETTLED
France Is Lik ely to Compromise
on Modified Austrian
Police Plan.

Algeciras, March 16.-The delegates
of the powers to the Moroccan confer
ence are more hopeful, as the French
and Germans, after communicating with
their governments, show less rlgldlty
than they did before. Sir Arthur Nicol-
son, head of the British mission, is ex-
ercising an Important and perhaps de-
cisive influence toward the agreement.
While continuing to support the French
delegates, he maintains that they should
do their share towards securing an adj
.justment, and therefore advises them to
accept a modified form of the Austrian
police project, such as a modification
providing that the inspector general
Shall merely inspect but not command
the Franco-Spanish police.
1t is pointed ont in British quarters
that Germany, having conceded the I'M
portant principle of Franco-Spanlsh
police, France should concede the de-
tail of an Inspector generalship with
out command. Moreover, it is said that
police force thus organized would as
sure French predominance in Morocco
French Delegates Hesitate.
The French hesitate to agree to this,
believing that foreign inspector gen
eral stationed at Casa Blanca is a ruse
to secure base for future German in
fuence and intrigue. 1t is understood,
however, that Great Britain offers to
cooperate with France against the re-
alization of such q design, and, there
fore, it is believed that the French and
Germans will agree to a modification
Of the inspector generalship and that
this will be the basis of the agreement
The delegates hope that the next SEES
sion will be decisive and are deferring
che meeting until assured that both
sides are prepared to accept the modi'
fed project.
No Danger of Rupture.
Paris, March 16-The officials here
say there is no chance of rupture at
Algeciras. While not disposed to &C
cept the Austrian plan to have an in
spector general stationed at Casa
Blanca, exercising command over the
Franco-spanish police in Morocco
France is willing to consider modi
fed plan by: which the inspector gen
eral shall confne his duties to inspec
ton without having command or con
troll of the police.

journal Special Service.
i New York, March 16.-The alleged
plot to assassinate: the Rev. DR.. Charles
Fl. Parkhurst was all a hoax, according
to confession made by Lawrence
Rogers, the man who told the story
upon which the investigation of the
alleged plot was based. Rogers con-
fession was made in police court yes
terday afternoon while he was being
examined in connection with the affair.
He was promptly arrested on the mo:
ton of District Attorney Jerome and
held on charge of perjury. Accord,
ing to the story upon which the pro
ceedings were begun, Rogers, a former
prison guard, alleged that he had been
approached with an offer of $500 if he
would put DR.. Parkhurst's flights
out. - He was led to unfold his story
to Robert Kelly Of the Citizens' union
thru gratitude, it was said, because
Kelly once had done him a good turn
In this story Rogers involved the
police in the alleged plot to take Dr.
Parkhurst life. 1t was thru Kelly
also that Richard Wilson, a private de
tective, made a statement to the dis
trict attorney in which he likewise &C

GIRLS SUICIDE DUE
TO STRAIN OF STUDY

.Fa --F
Cambridge, Mass, March 16.-With
the determination today that the death
last Tuesday of Miss Ruth Edith .Houd-
lett, a senior in Radcliffe, was caused
by wood alcohol poisoning, was brought
to light in strange story Of probable
study.
Medical Examiner Swan believes she
suffered from the poison for a day
before death. The manner in which
she received the poison is suggested by
the authorities and the only way her
family can account for the poisoning
is that the young woman, suffering
a temporary lapse into insanity or deep
melancholy from overstudy,, decided to
end her life. Her mind was buried in
her work: During the recent mid-year
examinations her father took her to the
theater one evening and the next day
she confessed to friend that she was
unable to remember any Of the play.

I want to tell you that the stingiest
man I ever saw in my life that ever
audited an account, was John A. Nc
Call. I had to go up and show cause
before-well, [ had to show cause first,
before I went into it and then when l
came back, I had TO show cause before
I could pay my bills. So that l never
knew, and could not know, how the &C
counts were charged, whether $4,000
was charged to this account or that or
the other. I did not keep their books,
L had no responsibility for that, and if
there were errors and wrong in that, it
lays right down at the administration
and it comes right back to the board Of
trustees of the New York Life and to
nobody else.
