MIR. CANNON FAILS
INSURGENTS RECALCITRANT ON
 STATEHOOD BILL.
Claim to Have Enough Votes. With the Democrats, to Insure Amend- ment ef the Hamilton
 Measure.

Washington, san. 9.-Speaker Cam mons efforts to win the insurgents over to the Hamilton joint Statehood bill have met with little success ap- parently. and the joint Statehood prop osition is still shrouded In uncertainty
 The insurgents claim they have more than fifty-eight votes, the number which, coupled with the solid Demo- cratic vote. will force a consideration of amendments to the Hamilton bill
 Two of three Republicans are re- ported to have been won over to the administration through Speaker Cam non, but the weakening In the oppo- sition is SO slight that unless further changes are brought about, the Ham, ilton bill will not be taken before the House.
 The sneaker is still firm in his pur pose to have the Hamilton bill and no other Statehood proposition laid be- fore the House as the administration measure.
 All sorts of compromises have been suggested by the insurgents. but have met with no favor at the hands of supporters of joint statenood. he last compromise offered by the insur- gents was the insertion of the single word each" where 1t would provide that tho people of New Mexico and Arizono should decide by popular vote whether they would accept joint state- hood.
 Republican insurgents held q State- hood caucus today, which was attended by about twenty-five representatives A poll of the House on the joint State" hood proposition by the insurgents was represented by the caucus today to have shown slightly less than seventy five reported who will vote against a nroposed rule preventing the amend ment of the Hamilton joint Statehood bill.
 The insurgents are confident they will retain enough of their votes to make 1t possible for them. with the Democrats to defeat the proposed rule. 1Tha caucus was held in the committee room of Representative Babcock, of Wisconsin. Sugar beet interests Of inc middle west were we'll represented in the caucus.

the car barn lies nearest the railroad tracks and at what would be the corn- CT of Madison Avenue and Garrison street If the latter thoroughfare was extended through to that point. The city property in this neighborhood IS what IS known as the old reservoir property"
 Ragland that we have secured very finc location for a car barn and just as soon as the Council gives us the right to connect our tracks and run them into the new barn. we expect to begin work on the building. It will be modern in every respect and will be equipped with all up so-datc appliances for the repairing and housing of street cars.
 The new barn will be a brick build ing with a capacity to house eighty five forty foot cars. It will have eleven tracks and complete repaid shop. Su- perjntendent c. c. Hogshead, of our company. has recently visited Birmlng- ham and other cities where he had the opportunity of looking into the most modem car barns and some of their best ideas will be used in this new barn of ours.

 MT Ragland pointed out that it was necessary 10 aDandOu tne olo Darn pr the Montgomery Street Railway on March 1st and expressed the hope that by that time the new house would be ready for the cars of his company
 "Officers Of the old company" said Mr. Ragland promised the City Council to remove from the old barn at the corner of Madison Avenue and BainbridRe streets by March tst and we expect to keep that pledge. Besides. that prop erty has been sold and I understand tha tthe owners propose to tear down the old building"
 Asked what would be done with the small barn at Pickett Springs, MT. Rag land replied that when the new barn was completed the Pickett Springs house would be used very little.

ROLE OF AMERICA
MUCH INTEREST IN THE POSITION
 TO BE TAKEN.
Believed that 1t Will Be Difficult to Introduce q Question of the
 Treatment of
 Jews.

Paris, Jan. 9!-The role of the United States at the Moroccan conference arouses much discussion and some ap- prehension in which the officials and diplomats are taking an active part. This is due mainly to the dispatches printe in London newspapers repro duced here. purporting to give the American policy.
 One dispatch stated that the United States will uphold the German conten- tion and caused unfavorable comment, but a dispatch from Madrid to The London Times, printed today, saying that the United States will support Great Britain, Russia, Italy and Spain in the concert with France, counter acted the first impression and caused more favorable comment.
 This was evidenced during the de- parture of the French delegates for AL geciras. The newspapers quote mem Der of the delegation as saying; "Great Britain and the United states are rath- CT favorably disposed tc ward us, while Spain and Italy are with us as Latin nations"
 The various outlines of the American policy are misleading through confus- lon on the main issues before the con ference and inexactness concerning American intentions.
 As d matter of fact the only ques- tions in winch the United States dele gates are likely to take an important part are:
 1. International control of the police; 2. The open door; 3. Protection of the Jewish residents in Morocco,
 However it should be understood that the first two questions are the most delicate in the Franco German controversy. France maintains that her special position. in Morocco war rants her in undertaking general sur veiIlance of the police and other branches of Moroccan administration. Germany has contested this, maintain ing that the powers should participate In international control.
 Concerning the open door. France advocates the thirty years open door clause in the AHglo-Freneh agreement whereas Germany advocates the open door without limit. Therefore, the ac- tion of the United States delegates be- ing favorable to International control of the police and unlimited open door may have an indirect effect in ranging them on one side CT the other In the Franco German controversy.
 Relative to the Jewish phase of the question. Jacob Schiff of New York has urged this feature upon the authorities at Washington and there is reason to believe that this will have sequel ot the conference. However, the Franco German agreement on the pro gram of the conference which has been approved by the Sultan and accepted by all the powers, does not mention the Jewish question: Therefore, it will be difficult to introduce it except as mel dent in connection with the prescrNa- ton of general order in Morocco.
