IMPORTANT MOVE AT
ALGEClRAS CONFERENCE

Algeciras, March 3.-The conference on
Moroccan reforms took a most important
step today by deciding on the Initiative
of Great Britain to proceed to the I'M
mediate discussion of the police question.
After Sir Arthur Nicholson, chief of the
British delegation, had submitted this
proposition the Marquis Viseonti Vene-
sofa. head of the Italian mission, actively
seconded 1t. eloquently appealing for con-
cillation and asking for the abandonment
of the absolute and unbending stand
taken by France and Germany. His words
were listened to with Difference.
The voting showed that Germany had
with her Austria and Morocco, while eight
representative powers supported Sir Ar
thur Nicholson Belgium and Sweden an
nounced that they would abide by the
decision of the majority One of the dele
gates then proposed that the police aues-
ton be referred to a special committee
which should prepare a project and sub
nit it to the conference. but this propo-
sitIon received a negative vote.
The result of the vote on Sir Arthur S
proposal has caused something of a SEN
sation as II means that the delicate
Franco German contest over the policing
of Morocco has been forced to a decisive
issue in which both sides will be COM
PEELED to show their hand. Moreover, the

TO RECOVER MONEY
SAYS HE HAS BEEN "SCALPED'
BY THE SUICIDE OF PRIOR, WHO
HELD PROFITS IN REPUBLIC
STOCK.

| New York, March S.-Frank Rockefeller,
brother of John d. Rockefeller, began
suit In the supreme court today against
various individuals and brokerage firms
; In this city and Cleveland. Mr.. Rocketel-
Ter, who lives in Ohio, is seeking to re-
cover 100000. The suit Is the outcome
of stock transactions with Leland w.
Prior, who committed suicide in Cleveland
on January g.
Mr.. PrIor's brokerage firm, Denison,
Prior & Co, suspended operations after
Prior killed himself and is now in the
hands of a receiver 1t appears from
Mr.. Rockefeller's complaint that he is
anxious to hold the correspondents OF
Denson, Prior Co. responsible Tor
money lost through dealing with Prior
The New York correspondents were c. l.
Hudson & Co. of 80 Wall street, and e.
E. Randolph & Co, 116 Broadway. Both
these firms are named as defendants. AT
the time Mr.. Prior committed suicide
Mr.. Rockefeller was dealing heavily In
the stock OF Republic Iron and Steel
He had on deposit with the Prior firm and
its auxiliaries large blocks of the stock,
but 1t was in the name of Prior, as 1t
had not been paid for, he says, and sim
ply was held for him. The stock GER
! tificates had been issued in Priors name
As soon as he learned of Prior's suicide,
the day after Prior killed himself in the
Holenden hotel in Cleveland, Mr.. Rookie
Teller said he telegraphed to the Hud-
son and Randolph firms and also the
brokerage firm of T. A. Mcintyre & Co.
or n Broadway to close out all his deals,
and all the stock they held In trust for
him. He now declares that they carried
out his Instructions and realized large
sums by the sale, in fact much more than
had been advanced on this stock In the
course of the purchase Of the same.
Mr.. Rockefeller sues to recover the
money realized over and above what was
due to the brokers.
The receiver of the Prior firm. Thomas
Business is also named as a defendant
In Mr.. Rockefeller's suit. He also named
other persons who he says have laid
claim to some of the money due him.

strength of the two sides. While this was
not as decisive as the question was upon
the merits of the police, yet 1t dlseioseu
that Austria and Morocco were the ohlS
