TEN CENTS PER WEEK GERMANY IS HOPEFUL Regards the Prospect of Agreement on Morocce A Great Deal Improved. BANK QUESTION PARTIALLY SOLVYED Berlin, March 5.—The foreign office regards the prospect of an agreement being reached at Algeciras as having deen improved by the partial accept- ance of the committee plan for the organization of a state bank for Mo-} rocco. Although the most difficult question, that of the patrol police, re- nans to be disposed of, there still are lhopes expressed at the foreign office that this question will also be settled. No private arrangement on the sub- ject of the Moroccan police has been; made between France and Germany, as seems to be believed by some of the correspondents at Algeciras. The conference, therefore, cannot be con- sidered to be nearly ready to adjourn. INTERNATIONAL. Delegates at Algeciras Partially Agree on Bank Question. Algeciras, Spain, March 5.—The delegates of the powers have partially agreed on the text of the Moroccan bank project. The organization is to be entitled the State bank of Moroc- co, will be chartered for forty years! and have a capital of $3,000,000 in gold, divided into parts equal to the number of the powers participating in the conference. Kach power direct ly or through a bank or a group of banks shall have the right to sub- scribe to its part of the capital. The powers will designate a director of the bank and turnish a portion of the em- ployes. Disagreements between Mo- rocco and the hank may be referred to an arbitration court at Lausanne, Switzerland. The question of the num- ber of the French shares and other details, however, have not been set- tled. The above agreement gives the United States the right to participate | WILL BE in the organization of the bank. During the day’s formal session of the conference Sir Arthur Nicolson, chief of the British mission, proposed taking up the police controversy. The Marquis Vinosta, head of the Italian delegation, seconded the proposal, de- claring that nothing prevented a con- sideration of the question in commit- tee of the whole. A final decision was not reached, but this first effort to take up the police problem was con- sidered significant of the determina- tion of the delegates to reach a con- clusion. In the vote upon Sir Arthur Nicol- son’s motion Sweden abstained from voting and Austria, Morocco and Ger- many favored continuing the bank discussion before taking up the ques- tion of the police.

Washington, March 5—No more witnesses will be examined by the sen- ate committee on interoceanic canals until after the type of canal has been determined and other information ob- tained which is necessary to the prep- aration of a bill for the government of the zone and the construction of the isthmian waterway. This decision was reached in executive session of the committee, The committee went into executive session at 10:30 o'clock. It was the understanding that the first question to be determined was whether certain questions asked William Nelson Crom- well by Senator Morgan and which were objected to by Senator Kittredge were pertinent. Senator Morgan cou. | not be present and this subject was not determined. Senator Kittredge stated that he thought the substantial questions re- lating to canal affairs, such as type, construction, etc., should be settled as soon as possible in order to prepare the committee to draft and consider canal legislation. He sazid that con- gress would not wait for the commit- tee if it insisted upon prolonging the examination of witnesses. Nearly all of the genators present expressed views similar to these of Mr. Kit- tredge. ‘Senator Morgan, who was engaged in other legislation, was told of the situation and agreed to the sug- gestion that the further examination of witnesses be postponed.

Ann Arbor, Mich., March 5.—The attempt of the sophomores of the Uni- versity of Michigan to break up the freshmen banquet resulted in serious collisions with the police and in per- sonal intervention by President An- gell. The sophomores had been kid- napping freshmen by the score all day to prevent their attending the ban- quet and when the police interfered the students overpowered them and rolled them in the mud. President Angell was summoned and dispersed the crowd, calling them rioters and telling them that they were injuring the good name of the university by their actions. He or- dered the sophomores to stop their in- lerference with the freshmen banquet and said that if any more trouble oc- curred and the students attacked the police again the guilty ones would be expelled from college. Later the demonstration was re- newed on the part of the sophomores and in the mixup two of the most prominent students in college were arrested. ARREST OF JOHN R. Action Followed Investigation by De: partment of Justice. Washington, March 5.—It, was said at the department of justice that the arrest in'Chicago of John R..Walsh, president of the defunct Chicago Na- tional bank, on a charge of violations of the national banking laws, was the result of an. investigation conducted by an official of the department of jus- tice. It was learned that the receiver of the bank, in his examination of the affairs of the bank, discovered what appeared to be violations of the law in making to the comptroller of the currency the reports on the condition WALSH, of the bank and as is usual in such|’ cases the matter was turned over to the United States attorney, who found | sufficient warrant.in his judgment to cause Mr. Walsh's arrest. The matter will soon be brought to the attention of the grand jury. FISHERMEN MEET DEATH Fleet of Norwegian Vessels Meets Dis- aster During A Violent Storm. EXTENT OF CATASTROPHE UNKNOWN FIGHTS ARE NUMEROUS. Trouble in Connection With Team- sters’ Strike at Chicago. Chicago, March 5.—During the last two days numerous fights have taken place between factions of the Team- sters’ union and during the day Will- fam Kelly, secretary of Coal Team- sters’ union No. 704, was shot in the leg and seriously wounded by Law- rence - Ready, connected with the Ready & Callaghan Coal company. Ever since the teamsters’ strike of last June there have been in the un- jons factions supporting President Cornelius P. Shea and factions op- posed to him. The Shea supporters have been asking the other teamsters to strike on a number of jobs and the men opposed to Shea have declined. The fights have resulted from the fail- ure of the anti-Shea men to follow out the wishes of Shea and his follow- ers. Two fights occurred during the day, the fighters disappearing as soon as the police appeared. In the fight in which Kelly was shot the trouble was started because of ‘the failure of one faction to agree with the declared wishes of the other. Ready was arrested after shooting Kelly, who will recover. FACES POPULAR OP‘PC‘SITIQN. New Hungarian Cabinet Selected by the Crown. Vienna, March 5.—The reconstvuc tion of the Hungarian cabinet' is an- nounced from Budapest. It is the nat- ural consequence of the events of Feb. 19, when General Nyri, as royal com- missioner, dissolved the Hungarian parliament by force. Baron Fejervary’s choice of new ministers is generally believed to sig- mnify that the crown has no intention of holding new elections within the period expiring April 11, as prescribed by the constitution. The new minis- ters evidently were selected primarily with the view of their fitness and willingness to help the crown carry out its declared policy in the face of unpopularity and possible resistance. The previous cabinet had to face ostracism on the part of many ex- tremist elements and the same fate awaits its successors. SEVENTY-FIVE PERSONS Cause Ascribed to Eating Free Lunch at Public Sale.

Altogether seventy-nine fishing boats with their crews have thus far reached different points of Flatenger and Roervik islands and large. numbers are also arriving at Gjaestingerne islands, so it is hoped that the disaster will not turn out to be as bad as at first feared.
