AdOpted-MOOr Makes a Speech.
Algeciras, Jan. 23.-The internation-
I'll conference on Moroccan reforms re-
assembled at the town hall and adopt
ed five of the sixteen articles contained
in the report of the committee on con,
traband arms. Then, as the sitting
had lasted two and half hours, dis
cussiOn of the remaining articles went
over until tomorrow, today being re,
served for the ceremonies attending the
feast day of King Alfonso
The discussion brought out a lengthy
discourse from Sid Mohammed ell
Mokhri, the second of the Moroccan
delegates, concerning Morocco's gener-
al attitude toward the conference AS
he spoke in Arabic the delegates list
ened silently, not comprehending a
word. Later it was decided to have a
translation distributed to the members
of the conference.
The draft OF the report before the
conference, besides providingrepressiv
laws by the powers, charges the Mo-
roccan customs authorities with the re-
preston of contraband along the coast.
The draft gives France exclusive con
troll over contraband on the Algerian
frontier and gives Spain exclusive con,
troll along the frontiers of SPANS pos
sessions in Morocco. The general prin-
ciple of the plan is to leave the coast
surveillance with the Moroccan GUS
toms, but as the question of Frances
administering the customs comes up
later the Franco-German contention re-
mains open.

STORM OF SLEET
GRIPS CHICAGO
Business in the western Metropolis
ParalyZed for Sever
al Hours.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-A SleetstOrm that
paralyZed business, delayed tens of
thousands of persons, cost the city
many thousands of dollars, practically
cut off all Geographic communications
for several hours, and made the parks
a wonderland Of ice, gripped Chicago.
The sleet was followed by a snow
storm which threatened to add to the
troubles of the transportation lines.
Never in the transportation history
of Chicago has a storm worked such
havoc with the city's transportation
service. The elevated roads were tied
up absolutely for hours: travel by troll
ley was a succession of jerks and
flashes; the steam railway schedules
went to smash, and only the despised
cable train ran on anywhere near
schedule time.
The elevated roads were the worst
sufferers, the sleet coating the third
rail so heavily that the attempt to
run trains was abandoned early in
the morning. Gangs of men equipped
with axes and bags of salt worked
for hours clearing away the ice, but
in the meantime some 100000 persons
had been forced to seek other means
of reaching their places of business.
