interests in Morocco with rapidity is ap-
parent from the fact that a German trade
register announces the formation of linn
tied liability company with an initial cap
ital OF $2.5O0,OOO to acquire land in the coun-
try. The amount OF the capital conveys
no adequate idea of the great financial
resources behind this company, FOR Il was

banks in Germany. and DR.. Treitsl, the
managing director. is merely a deputy for
Herr Furstenburg. one of the leading

The Handelsgesellschaft, with its many
millions OF capital, may be regarded as the
real promoter of the new enterprise In
Morocco, which thus assumes dimensions
of far greater extent and Importance. II
may be safely asserted that any enter
prise In which Herr Furstenburg Is the
leading spirit is certain TO be based on bold

SCHMITz APPLIES FOR BAIL
Formal Application for Release Made
I'm Judge DUNES Court
by Mayor.

SAN FRANCISCO, June l5.-This morn
ing a formal motion for the release OF
Mayor Schmitz under bonds was argued
before Judge Dunno, an Informal motion
to that effect presented by counsel yester-
day being denied. The motion for Schmitz's
admission TO bail was based on the ground
that he is charged with duties that he can
not perform II he remains in the custody
Of the sheriff The court in denying the
informal motion, advised counsel that while
he would listen to arguments on the formal
motion II the prisoner chose to present II,
that II any variation from the regular pro-
cedure were granted by the court it would
be only an unusual showing. 1t is under
stood that the question of policy, well as
law will govern the attitude OF the prosecu-
ton In the matter Of consenting that the
convicted mayor be admitted to bail. II
1t be decided that public sentiment is in
favor Of permitting the mayor to go at
liberty on bail, the district attorneys Of
fice will so recommend. II, on the con-
trary, the prosecution determines that It
would be wiser to have Schmitz confined
to the county Jail. he will be refused ball
by Judge Dunno This latter course would
necessitate the taking of the matter be-
fore either Judge OF the court OF appeals,
or one Of the justices of the supreme
court.
Pending the decision OF the court
schmitz was in charge Of the sheriff and
last night he was confined in the Branch
county jail
Bail for Mayor Schmitz, convicted of
extortion, was refused today by Judge
Dunno when formal application was made
by the mayors counsel Sentence will be
pronounced on June 27.
Judge Dunno then called the sheriff be-
fore him and said that Schmitz was not to
be allowed his liberty, but was to be con-
fined in jail unless upon orders Of court.
Counsel for Schmitz then obtained an
order allowing schmitz to be out Of jail,
though in custody, until 1 o'clock this
afternoon.

THE HAGUE, June ia drizziing,
overcast day ushered in the second peace
| conference The depressing weather con-
ditions however, did not prevent the gov
ernment of The Netherlands from trying to
give the city a gala appearance. The red,
white and blue flag OF Holland. side by
side with the orange standard of the House
of Nassau, was hoisted over every public
building and many private residences few
the national colors. Fortunately, the clouds
began to break toward noon and the people
soon gathered TO witness the arrival Of
the distinguished foreigners at the ancient
portals Of the Binnenhof. within the walls
OF which is located the old castle in which
the sittings Of the conference will be held,
devoid, however of pomp and glitter. AS
upon the occasion of the first conference,
the government Of the Netherlands, in or
der to lay stress upon the peaceful char
acter and objects OF the conference, espe-
cially requested the delegates and military
and naval attaches not to appear in uni
form or wear any insignia of their rank.
NJ. Nelidoff opened the conference today
by affirming that universal peace and dis
armament were unattainable The utter
ances of the Russian statesman, although
pessimistic to the extent referred to, were
hopeful when later he said he believed that
better method for the judicial adjustment
of disputes was possible. even though all
conflicts between nations were no more
avoidable than conflicts between individ-
uals.
In the course of his address M. Nelidon
greatly pleased the American delegates by
the high tributes which he paid to Presl-
dent Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie, not
mentioning any other countries or rulers
The reference to President Roosevelt in
the speeches Of both DIR. Van Tets Van
Goudrain, the Netherlands' foreign minis
ter, and NJ. Nelidoff were greeted with
rounds Of applause. The whole ceremony
lasted hardly twenty minutes, when the
conference adjourned until Wednesday.

win Not Consider Disarmament.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-It is stated on
authority that the American delegates to
The Hague conference will not bring UP
for discussion the question of Limitation
Of armaments. That matter is regarded as
a purely European question at present, and
as the result of a years work by Prof.
De Martens at the various capitals OF Eu-
rope has been to thresh out pretty thor
oughly the whole matter and make evident
the fact that at least four OF the great
powers are averse to the consideration OF
the disarmament question, the Washington
government regards itself as relieved from
the necessity of bringing this matter to
the fore. It is the opinion here also that
the subject OF limitation OF armament will
not now be broaohed by any OF the powers
represented at The Hague conference.
