TWO ISSUES ARE INVOLVED

Algeciras. March 4.-One' of the dele
gates having a most vital interest in the
conference on Moroccan reforms said to-
night that a settlement of the cOntro-
yersy between France and Germany now
seemed possible. but he declined to make
known the lines the arrangements would
take. However, the trend of recent
events has indicated that il any settle
ment is reached it would most likely be
because France would make concessions
with reference to the bank question and
Germany in return would adopt a less
uncompTOmising attitude concerning the
police.

Prosecution Hurts Company.
During the progress of our examinati
criminal proceedings were instituted
against the president and secretary of
the company by the county attorney OF
Harding. the former bOokkeeper of the
company, who prepared the annual state
ment for 1904 The charge brought
against these officers was of faisifvinE
statement filed with the secretary Of
state showing the condition of the COM
pany at close of business December 81
1904.
'"The case was brought before Judge
Diehl in Salt Lake City. and during the
progress OF the trial the complaint against
the secretary of the company was with
drawn by the prosecution. The special
examiners were summoned by the prose
cutiOn to give evidence for the state. The
case has not yet been decided as to Pres
ident Tyree. but the effect of the prose-
cution has been seriously detrimental to
the welfare Of the company.
OepIore Officers Acts.
1T is TO be deplored that a company
whose financial condition is on so solid a
basis should have been brought into COM
pliCatiOns by the errors of judgment or
wiiful mismana cement of its chief off
GERS. The company started business with
an impaired capital. paying about 10 per
cent of all the moneys received for its
capital stock In payment of commissions
and bonuses, and as a necessary result
its capital was seriously impaired at the
close of 1904. but the fact that in spite
of this adverse condition the company
was able, during the year 1905 to make up
that deficiency, SIS 1851, pay $32,S70.72 in
losses and snnuities, seven per cent divi-
dend on the amount of its paid-up CAPT.
tai stock up to March IA, 1905, amount
ing to S1002S.33, and come out at the close
Of the year with its capital unimpaired
and with surplus Of $27 S40.12 is evidence
that western people will gladly patronize
a western corporation.
The Continental Life Insurance & In
vestment company. although II has suf-
fered seriously by loss Of confidence IN
the communities Of five states which are
covered by its operations, owing to re-
cent disclosures. deserves a better fate
than 10 be wrecked by the mismanage-
ment Of its affairs. Respectfully sub
mitted, GEORGE B. SQUIRES,
Deputy Secretary OF State.

BRITISH PROPOSITION.
Vote of Saturday Showed Sentiment
in FAVOR of France.


Paris. March 1.-The voting at Algeciras
Saturday on the proposition of Sir Arthur
Nicolson, chief of the British delegation.
TO proceed to the immediate discussion of
the Moroccan police question, gives great
satisfaction here, chiefly because France
has ranged with her a large ma jOrity of
the powers, while Germany is among the
small minority Public tension was such
over the Franco-G German controversy that
The vote was welcomed both as a success
and as showing that France was able to
count upon the almost Unbroken support
of Europe. French officials have claimed
for some time that If a vote were posi-
bic il would give France a sweeping ma
jority. 1t appears that yesterdays divi-
sion did not produce a recorded vote, vet
the powers aligned themselves with suffi-
Client precision to amount to a vote. All
the French journals give the division in
the form Of vote, the eight voting in
the affirmative being France, Great Brit
ain, Russia, Spain. Portugal, the United
States, Italy and Holland and the mega
tive three being Germany, Austria and
Morocco. The officials here have been
considering Austria as doubtful and had
Austria balloted in TIE affirmative the
entire vote of Europe and America would
have been ranged on the side of France
Powers Behind France.
The semi-offtciaI TEMPS seems to &C
cept the decision of the conference as a
vote in favor Of Frances proposals, say
ing:
The vote, though referring to a queS-
ton of procedure, is valuable to us from
more than one viewpoint Not only have
Great Britain, Spain, Russia and the
United States clearly adhered to our
ideas, which was foreseen, but Italy, Bel
GUM. Portugal and Holland unhesitating
" recognized the loyalty TO our PROPOSE
ton"
The Temps correspondents at AIgeciras,
however, points out that the vote refers
merely to procedure. signifyirg the desire
of the conference to attain a result. At
the same time the character and import
of the action of the delegates with refer
ence TO procedure should not be minim-
lied"
Two Issues Involved.
The result also affects the diplomatic
status of the controversy Germany
wants to settle the bank question before
that Of the police, but France does not
wish to grant concessions on the bank
until she is sure that Germany will make
a reciprocal move concerning the police.
Therefore the decision of the conference
TO consider the police question requires
that Germany shall say whether she is or
is not prepared to change her attitude
relative to the police Germanyts answer
will thus determine whether France will
yield on the bank question. The indica-
tiOns are that If Germany refuses to give
way or the police France will not yield
on the bank. thus accentuating the for
mer deadlock by carrying it into the
open conference.
