EMINENTLY HOPEFUL
Is the Word Sent Out from the AIge-
ciras Moroccan Conferences.

AIgeclras, March 25.--Both the Ger
man and French delegates to the con-
ference on Moroccan reforms today as
snred The Associated Press that the
outlook for an agreement was emf
nently hopeful. but that neither would
make more definite statement.
The representatives of the neutral
powers. however, asserted that the
principal work Of the conference had
been virtually concluded and that a
settlement was imminent, but said
there might possibly be minor hitchss
The delegate Of Il prominent neutral
power. in outlining the procedure for
tomorrDWs sitting of the conference
said that an agreement had practically
been attained before hand and that the
Americn proposition relative to a mix
ed police was destined to serve as the
1inal arrangement, it being introduced
by the Russians in the form of an
amendment to the Austrian scheme
The ports to which it would be ap-
piled, he said, had not been fixed, but
he believed they would be Tansier and
Casablanca.
Mr.. White, head of the American del
egation. he said, from the first did not
intend TO present the American pro-
posal to the conference, his desire be-
ing to provide feasible exit from the
deadlock. but having pointed the way
out of this. Mr.. White left it to the
delegates TO utilize or disregard the
American scheme according to the ne
cessities Of the case.
The extent of the powers Of the in
spectors, lie said, was the only point
likely to create friction, but he hoped
this matter could be arranged. Control
OF the custom by France and the di-
vision of the capital of the state bank
also remain to be settled, but in the
event that the other points are salts
factorily arranged he thought an ac-
cord was inevitable.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Mrs. Julia Andrews Suffers Severe Ac-
cident at HaliowelI.

Mrs. Julia Andrews was brought to this
city In an ambulance yesterday afternoon
from Hallowell, where she suffered from
an accident that resulted In serious in
iuries, and taken to her home at s Church
street.
Dr. r. u. Smons was summoned and
found that Mrs. Andrews left shoulder
was dislocated, four ribs on the left side
fractured. her left wrist badly sprained
and many bruises.
Tho accident happened at the home OF
John Spear, Second street, Hallowell,
where Mrs. Andrews and her daughter
Miss Annie, went to call upon Mrs
Spears mother. who is i'll. They arrived
there at about 11.39 O'Clock, and shortly
after this Mrs. Andrews, mistaking for
door that led outside one which opened
into a cellarway, fell down steep fight
of staifs. At the foot of the stairs she
was found limp and unconscious. A ply
sician was called, who advised that Mrs.
Andrews be taken home as soon as pos
sible. This advice was acted upon and
the injured woman reached this city at
about I O'clock.
Mrs. Andrews son, George Andrews of
Augusta, said In his opinion n thick fur
cape which his mother wore when she
fell was the only thing that saved her
life, for she is q rather heavy woman
and the fall was an extremely bad one.
at the foot of the stairs there is a turn
which leaves a wall facing the top. In
striking this wall the cape acted as Il
cushion and relieved Mrs. Andrews from
some force of the shock
DR.. Simons said last evening that he
saw no evidence of internal injury and
that he expected Mrs. Andrews would re-
cover fully.
Mrs. Andrews was the wife OF the late
Samuel Andrews once a member of the
Gardiner police force and well remem-
bered by all people who have resided here
during the last several years.

Matters of special interest to the police
department were more than usually quiet
Saturday night. The usual bunch was ut
the Maine Central station when the late
trains arrived, but none showed the great
desire to cause trouble that was so evil
dent the week before. There were numcr-
Gus signs to show that the town is not
wholly dry, hut no Indications that the
rum traffic is prospering here. But one
arrest was made, and the prisoner who
all day yesterday, sick and faint, lam
guished in q cell, will probably go to Au-
gllsta today on the charge of intoxication
or vagrancy.

Sam Houston and a stanch Republican.
He was formerly United States mar
sllal and is regarded as a strong mar
in his district. He was beaten on til"
