WATERVILLE.
CALL 1T A FORGERY.
More Evidence Clearing MIR. Crafty of
Charges Against Him.

In order still further to substantiate
the claims of the Republican party and
it's friends in this city as to the ques-
ton of the innocence or guilt of j. NJ.
Crafty, the street commissioner, of the
charges preferred against him by his
political enemies. a certain prominent
individual nf Watervillc last Saturday
took upon himself to visit the different
banks of the city for the purpose of
asking their opinion concerning the
genuineness or forgery on the Maine
Central receipt card purported to have
been signed by Mr.. Crafty and which
has been published as positive proof OF
his guilt.
The interviews which followed show
cd that the cashiers. tellers, bookkeep-
ers and assistants Of the Waterville
Savings Banks. the Ticonic National

France Has Majority Of
the Moroccan Delegates.
they Vote. to at Once Discuss
Moroccan Police Question.
III .7T---4 :, -
Eight Of The II for France---eermany's
,..- Contentious Not Favored.

Paris, March 4.-The voting at Alge-
clras Saturday or the proposition of
Minister Arthur Nicholson, chief of the
British delegation, to proceed to the
immediate discussion of the Moroccan
police question, gives great satisfaction
here chiefly because France has ranged
with her a large majority of the pow
ers, while Germany is among the small
minority. Public tension was such
over the Franco German controversy
that the vote was welcomed both as a
success and as showing that France
was able to count upon the almost un-
broken support of Europe. French of
ficials have claimed for some time that
If y vote We're possible it would give
France sweeping majority.
1t appears that yesterdays division
did not produce q recorded vote, yet
the powers aligned themselves with
sufficient precision to amount to a vote
All the French journals give the divi-
sion i'm the form of n vote, the eight
voting in the, affirmative being France
Great Britain. Russia, Spain, Portugal
the United States, Italy and Holland; !;
ana the negative three being Germany
Austria ana Morocco.
The officials had even considered
Austria as doubtful and had Austria
balloted in the affirmative the entire
vote of Europe and American would
have ranged on the side of France.
The result also affects the diplomatic
status of the controversy Germany
wants to settle the bank question be-
fore that of the police; but France does
not wish too great concessions on the
bank until she is sure that Germany
will make a reciprocal move concerning
the police. Therefore the decision of
the conference to consider the police
question requires that Germany shall
say whether she is or is not prepared
to change her attitude relative to the
police. Germany's answer will thus de-
termine whether France will yield on
the bank question. The Indications are
that if Germany refuses to give way
on the police France will not yield on
the bank, thus accentuating the former
deadlock by carrying it into the open
conference.
