Germany Credited with Being Re-

Algeciras Conference.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-while the British
bring about an agreement between France
and Germany on the question of the Moroc-
can police. it has given UP hope of an
amcable settlement. II is expected in
official circles that the Algeciras confer
ence will break up, possibly during the
present week, leaving the Moroccan situa-
ton where Il was before the conference
was called.
Germany is given the credit for the fail
ure. In fact, it is believed here that EN-
peror William, realizing that there is no
hope OF Germany's demands being endorsed
by the powers. is now anxious that the
conference shall end without action being
taken.
Great Britain maintains its position, sup
porting the French demands In regard ia
the police and cannot see any reason for a
compromise. Should the conference break
up it is understood that France will oon-
tinue its policy OF policing the Algerian
frontier and IL serious troubles break out

undertake To suppress them. notifying the
powers that II cannot ALLOW the disorder

In any way to the present conditions at the
academy, which, however, have materially
affected the traditional gaiety of the occa-

Allan Chantry from Lieutenant Commander
Magruder. who drew it from the pile of
sheepskins on the table in front OF him.
The other star members who headed the
class then received theirs in the order in
which they stood in the final examination.
The diplomas OF other graduates were
then drawn at random. and as each youth
stepped forward and received his reward

WOULD REPEAL STATE GAS LAW
New York Senator Moves to Abolish
Commission Because II Has
Done Nothing.

ALBANY, n. Y. Feb. l2.-The repeal OF
the act of last year which created the state
commission of gas and electricity is pro-
posed in a bill introduced teniglst-bT Sena-
tor Stevens. The Introduction of the bill
produced more of sensation because Sena-
tor Stevens was chairman of the joint spe-
cial committee which presented the bill
creating the commission after its investi-
CATION last year of the lighting condition of
New York City. The introduction of the
bill in the senate tonight Immediately fol-
lowing the handing down of the first annual
report Of the commission.
Mr.. Stevens made a statement in which
he said
This commission was given ample power
10 do something-tO adjust differences to
right wrongs and generally to ameliorate a
condition of the suffering public throughout
the state. In theory II was intended 10 pro-
tect the public from being overcharged, to
take into consideration the cost of produc-
tion, but in practice II is most humiliating
for me To admit 1t has fallen far short Of
my expectations.
1t seems TO me that the commission has
proved TO he of no value to the public and
is expensive luxury, and therefore
should be disposed OF at the earliest moment
possible.
