FRANCO GERMAN
DISPUTE ENDED
FAR-REACHING AGREEMENT CON.
CORNING MOROCCO SIGNED BY
BOTH NATIONS.
SPECTER is NOW BANISHED.
Treaty Points Out That Signatories Are
DESTROYS of Facilitating AL
geciras Act.
KAISER BRINGS ABOUT RESULT.

PARIS, Feb. 9--France and Germany
today signed a far-reaching agreement
concerning Morocco, thus banishing a
specter, which for years has doomed up
lntermlttently as the cause Of strained
relations between the two countries. OF
more Importance still, perhaps, than the
actual settlement of pending difficulties
and the harmonizing Of views concern
ing Morocco is the moral effect of estab-
fishing on a broad basis friendly rela-
tons between the two nations, which
have been separated, so to speak, since
the war of 1870.
The agreement points out that the
signatories are animated by a mutual
desire to facilitate the operations Of the
Algeciras act with the view of avoiding
all cause Of misunderstanding between
them i'll the future"
Both Make Promises.
France promises to maintain the IL
tegrlty and independence of the MOrOc-
can empire and declares she is resolved
to safeguard the economic equality and
not to embarraSS the commercial anu
industrial interests of Germany"
Germany, whose interest in Morocco
is merely economical, recognizes that
tne particular pOlltlca1 interests u
France are closely linked to the consoli-
dation of order and peace in the interior
of Morocco, and agrees not to interfere
with these interests"
In conclusion the signatories promise
neither to pursue nor to encourage any
measure designed to create an economic
privilege in their favor or in favor Of
any other power, and they agree that
they will endeavor to associate their
peoples in commercial enterprises
launched in Morocco
Kaiser Ends Dispute.
There is reason to believe the negotia
tons preceding this agreement have been
in progress quietly since the summer of
1907 when the initiative was taken by
Germany The unfortunate Casablanca
incident stopped the pour parlors for
awihel but they were vigorously renewed
in Berlin last month: 1t is understood
here that Emperor William was anxious
to participate in the agreements assur-
ing European peace that were being
concluded by his neighbors, but from
which Germany was isolated and re-
manned a stranger.

PATTERNS AFTER
OKLAHOMA LAW
SENATOR HUSTING TO INTRODUCE
RESOLUTION FAVORING GUAR
ANTEE OF DEPOSITS.
II OF | PER CENT. REQUIRED
Rigid Supervision of Wisconsin Bank;
Makes Higher Rate Unnec-
essary
UNDERWRITERS ISSUE PROTEST

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 81 Special.
-Oklahoma's famous bank depostory
law is to be the pattern of a bill soon tt
be introduced by Senator Paul E. Hust
ing of Mayville.
One important essential in which i
will differ will be the amount REQUIRED
to be set aside by banks under the su
pervision Of the bank inspectors In Ok
lahoma the banks are required to pay
into the guarantee fund ] per cent OF
deposits. In Wisconsin Senator Hustine
wants Il of 1 per cent. paid in. The
Oklahoma rate is said to be needlessly
high even for that youthful member OF
the SISterhOOd. Wisconsin with it's srI.
perior supervision and favorable record
for few failures, requires a much smaller
| rate, says the Mayville senator Senator
Husting's bill also puts the banks under
special commission with improved
methods of inspection and general super
vision.
Want Lower Depository Bonds.
Bankers of Wisconsin want law
passed which will do away with the
necessity of furnishing a bond in an
amount twice as large as the state de-
post intrusted to the individual bank
The present law was put into force be-
fore the days of the corporate bond. In
old times all bonds were signed by per-
SOnal SuretleS and in some cases where
deposits were large the bond had to be
peddled around and signed by dozen
or more personal sureties, the total being
twice the sum of the deposit Nowad avs
the bonds usually are furnished by surety
companies which charge for them at the
rate of y of / per cent. of the amount
of the bond or l per cent. of the deposit
by the state. Bankers say this is a hard
ship and an effort will be made to pass
Il law requiring that the bond shall be
10 per cent. higher than the deposit.
The Wisconsin Bankers associate is
expected to work for this bill.
Fire Underwriters Act
The Milwaukee Board of Fire Under
writer's will stand sponsors for a bill to
stop rebating by fire insurance agents
There is such a law on the statute books,
but it relates only to life insurance
agents and fire agents are free to rebate
as freely as their moral sense of obliga-
ton to agreement will allow What the
better fire insurance agents call ''the
perniciOus practice of rebating' is said
to be booming in Milwaukee, several
large concerns receiving enormous per-
centages of their premiums back from
agents who are willing to share" their
commissions i'll order to make big
showing 1t is said that this subject. was
one upon which August Rebhan and
Loyal Durand spoke to members when
they came out recently from Milwau-
kee. J. II. Van Dyke of Milwaukee
is said to be drawing up this bill for the
underwriters.

The eventful evening came; and az

Of the platform. be said.
-As this IL to be purely a literary
lecture It seems fitting that pTactition-
ers Of the glorious art Of writing. II
any are present. should receive due
recognition and honor. and before
begin my discourse wish to extend a
cordial Invitation to any author who
may happen to be IN the house to
please come forward and take a seat
on the platform with the chairman"
In the frantic rrsh that ensued the
three front roEs Of seats we're upset
and demolished. four women tainted
and had to be carried out, a half dozen
derby hats were crushed to pulp, three
men received black eyes. several 9TH
ers had their coats ripped up the back.
and the reading-stand was toppled
over with q crash. When the dust
had settled down so that II was pos-
sible to see across TIE hall once more
one man alone remained seated in the
auditorium. The rest we're on the

smiled indulgently down upon the soli-
taTy occupant OF the auditorium and

Il forgot that this was Indiana. Per

Hey? What's that?' demanded the
man. holding trumpet to his ear and
leaning forward with a look Of strain
ed inquiry on his face.
Il say. perhaps you did not under
stand the invitation" repeated the
lecturer. This being a discourse on
literature. any author who chanced to
be present was requested to come for.

"Oh. all right: I'm coming Didn''
hear you the first time" apologized
the deaf man. and he, too. rose to his
feet and started briskly for the plat
form.
