Algeciras, Jan. 22.-The internation-
al conference on Moroccan affairs re-
assembled at the town hall this morn
ing. The presiding officer, Duke of
Almodovar, read messages from the
Spanish senate and chamber of depu-
ties expressing hope for a successful
issue of the conference.
Marquis Visconti, head of the Italian
mission, replying in the name of the
delegates, made a strong reference to
the international character of the
agreement to be concluded here. This
was interpreted as referring to the
Franco-German difficulty over the
question of the internal control of
Morocco.
The conference adopted five of the
16 articles contained in the report of
the committee on contraband arms.
Then, as the sitting had lasted two
and half hours, discussion of remain
ing articles went over until Wednes-
day, tomorrow being reserved for cere-
monies attending the feast day of
King Alfonso.
The discussion brought out dis
course from Sidi Mohammed El Mok-
hri, second of the Moroccan delegates,
concerning Morocco's general attitude.
AS he spoke the delegates listened
Nsilently, though not comprehending a
word. Later they decided that the
translated copy should be distributed
to the members of the conference.
Strings on All.
The next incident occurred when M.
Revail, head of the French mission,
answering the Moors' request for time
to refer certain features of the report
to the sultan, remarked that the Moors
appeared to be desirious of referring
some portions of it, and not others.
Whereupon Sidi Mohammed declared
that they we're obliged to refer every
thing, without exception, to the sui
tan This brought on a discussion
among the delegates showing that they
all were similarly obliged to refer i'm
portant points to their respective gov
ernmentS.

deliberate violations of injunction by
any individual. Ii the grand jury
now sitting in Chicago finds an in

The letter is purported to be signed
by President Roosevelt, and is taken
by the defendants as proof OIL their
contentious.
THAT letter is a public document
and we will introduce it as evidence
in this case,'' said Attorney John S.

Threats Are Alleged.
Attorney John G.. Gown, who talk.
ed for the Cudahy interests, asserted
that Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha
packer, was directly threatened with
imprisonment by Commissioner Gar
field if Cudahy refused to give the
Commissioner information regarding
packing business. Mr.. GOWN argued
that securing of evidence against the
packers from themselves, in itself
constituted a promise of immunity to
the defendants.
