gain his standing from the world, had
not come, Carey A. Marker, former
banker of Pearl, ILL.,, is in Jail here TO-
night on a charge of embezzling $45,-

1t was to regain his standing, he
said, that he surrendered to the po-
lice, after his long struggle as day

couraged and still far from paying
back his $4,000 loan" from the
bank which he headed Marker as
serts that he is not an embezzler;
that he is willing to go back and face
the charge because he will be able to
show that what he did was to borrow
the funds of the bank in legitimate
Investment, giving security that would
have been good if the "other man"
had not defrauded him.

[Gate City Leased Wire Service
PARIS, July 29.-At lengthy con
ference this evening between British
Ambassador BERTHE and the French
foreign secretary, De Selves, the plan
to offer Germany concession in the
Congo in exchange for the evacuation
OF Agadar, Asia, as a solution of the
Moroccan crisis, was discussed. 1t is
believed here that the same plan is
being seriously considered at Swine
nunde by the kaiser and his coun.
sellors and this turn in affairs gave a
definite ray of hope for a peaceful
settlement of the difficulty which has
kept all Europe on the anxious seat
for week.
The chief point argued by Bertie
and De Selves is said to have been
just how much of foothold in Con
go, France would be willing to give
Germany in order to bring about a
settlement of the difficulties.
In diplomatic circles here it is ad
mited, however, that the whole sit
utation depends largely on the atti.
tude of the kaiser and some word
from the German foreign office
which has remained consistently sill
ent, is expected following the kaiser's
return. AS soon as the temper of the
kaiser is known, the situation will
take definite form.
While both France and England
have determined to stand firm ir
their rights" both will welcome {
speedy settlement, and if the kaiser
displays a tendency to negotiate alons
the lines now suggested. Re will BIZ
met half way by France. In tha
event, England will keep hands off
and except for the diplomatic confer
ences with France, will take no par
| in the conversations.
/ The general impression here to
night was that the kaiser woult
realize the grave danger of any an
| tagonistic step and that he would en-
dorse the attitude of that portion o
the German press which favors
quick settlement with honor to al
parties.

attorneys may be reckon.d to

practical standpoint it appears the
attorney general was lamentably
/ snorant of what was occurring in

advise the lawmakers on the right

The decision of the Supreme
Court implies that depositors who
