WATCH
AMERICA s MOVE
MOROCCAN CONFERENCE is
MUCH DISCUSSED
Role Which United States Is to Play
Is Of Deep Interest
to Officials and
Diplomats
BY Associated Press.

PARIS. Jan. 10.-The role Of the
United states at the Moroccan con-
ference arouses much discussion and
some apprehension, in which the Of
ficials and diplomats are taking an
active part. This is due mainly to
dispatches in London papers and repro
duced here purporting to give the
American policy. One dispatch states
that the United States will uphold the
German contention caused unfavorable
comment, but a dispatch from Madrid
to the London Times, printed today,
says that the United States will sup
port Great Britain, Russia, Italy and
Spain in the concert with France.
counteracted the first impression and
caused more favorable comment.
The various outlines of the American
policy are misleading through confu-
sion on the main issues before the con-
ference and inexactness concerning
American intentions.
AS a matter of fact the only question
in which the United States delegates
are likely to take an important part
are: International control of the po-
lice; the open door, and 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 a general
surveillance of the police and other
branches of the Moroccan administra-
ton. Germany has contested this,
maintaining that the powers should
participate in any international con-
vention.
Concerning the open door, France
advocated the thiry-year open door
clause in the Anglo German agreement,
whereas Germany advocates the open
door without limit. Therefore the ac-
ton of the United States delegates,
being favorable to the International
control of the police and unlimited
open door, may have an indirect effect
in ranging them on one side or the
other of the Franco-German contro-
verSy.

is from Tonopah and adjoining camps.
People are flocking in at the rate of 500

In their haste to be first upon the
scene some of the stampeders are pay

Many wealthy spectators have gone
in, but the great bulk of the stampeders
and prospectors seeking a new "strike."
This new strike is distinctively a

in the district is but sixty feet and the
heaviest strikes are being found near

PLAN BIG HOSPITAL SYSTEM
New York Men Hope to Establish
Great Chain Of Free
Institutions
BY Associntnd Prnss-


NEW YORK, Jan. 10-Details were
made known today Of plans for chain
of municipal hospitals which, when
fully realized, will, 1t is declared, give
New York the greatest system of free
treatment in the country. Mayor Nc
Clellan, former Comptroller Grout, Bird
S. Coler, president of the borough of
Brooklyn, and Commissioner of Char
tiles Robert w. Hebbard are the lead
ing advocates of the project. An esti-
mate of the total cost Is $75, 100000 The
plan is for the development of a central
system of hospitals in the five boroughs,
the buildings to be of uniform achitec-
ture, the service 10 be organized on a
scheme of unity, and all under the con-
troll of one department of the city gov

Events from time to time demon
strate, say those who favor the under
taking, that New York's hospital SER
vice in it's several branches is not UP
to the point of efficiency that the sec
ond city of the world has a right to
expect. For this condition the advo-
Gates of the new plan find a reason in
the indefniteness Of responsibility.

CALIFORNIANS GET
PIPE LINE PERMIT
WILL BUILD NEW STEAMERS
United Oil Company Is Likely to OBJ
tain License to Transmit Fuel
Across lsthmus of
Panama
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-Secretary
Taft has recommended to the president
that he sanction the issue of revoc-
able license to the United Oil company
of California to construct and maintain
pipe line across the canal zone.
There were six applicants for such a
right, but the company named is the
only one which specified the price of
oil if used by the government and
whose offer was otherwise sufficiently
definite and reasonable. 1t is, however,
expressly provided that the license
shall not be exclusive, so that other
companies may hereafter compete for
the business.
For it's part, the company undertakes
to pay $500 per month to be applied
to school purposes in the canal zone
and also to permit the government to
draw upon his pipe line at any point
for oil at 80 cents per barrel. Secre-
tary Taft in his letter to the president
explains that this is about equivalent
for fuel purposes to Pocahoutas coal
at the present cost on the isthmus of
81 per ton, so that the Oft may be used
for all power purposes If desired in
the construction of the canal.
AS only refined oil is ut present car
ried over the Panama railroad. the
secretary does not fear that the trans
portation of crude oil by pipe would
injure the business of the railroad COM
pany. The company undertakes to
complete the line by August l. 1906, and
to build in American shipyards suitable
tank steamers to supply, in addition to
its present large fleet the necessary
means of conveying the oil to the pipe.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 10.-After an at
tempt lasting over an hour to arrive
at exact conclusions as to how far al
upper classman could be compelled to
testify as to his knowledge as to having
witnessed Incidents in case in which
another midshipman is under trial on

Stephen Decatur. jr. at the naval
academy rendered no decision and ad-
journed until tomorrow, when the

The point came up after Midshipman
Peterson b. Marzoni had objected to
answering questions as to hazing

fore him. In the former court martial
of Midshipman Decatur Marzoni testi-
fled that he was present when Fourth

of active participation in hazing was

In the present trial, however. en-

charged and it is claimed that no mid
shipman who was actually present
particularly a first class man, could
