PRICE ONE CENT. ! iI PRES. FALLIERES OF FRANCE. TREE Phot. by Pech Bros. ROOSEVELT 10 GIVE WORD FOR , Fearing Gompli- cations with Other Na- tions, Waits for Him. PARIS, Jan. 20.—The apparent hesita- | tion of France's decision relative to} Venesueln appears to be prompted by | the desire not to begin active meas- | ures without first taking the advice of | the authorities at Washington. For this purpose Ambassadpr Jus- serand has been fully instructed regard- ing his Government's point of view, which he ts laying before the American Government, The officials here agree that France's action is somewhat ham- pered owing to Venesuela’s peculiar situation, the foreign claims upon the joustoms belng regarded as placing a blockade almbst out of the question. It is feared that if France stopped commerce with the exterior, President Castro would immediately seize this as a pretext for refusing to comply with Venezuela’s obligations toward other nations. ( It 1s admitted that preparations are going on for reinforcing the French squadron, but the cbject of this step Is! still undefined. This much is regarded as certain—France’s next move will do-| pend on the result of M. Jusserand's conference at Washington. To Deliver Note.

SAY YOUNG WOMAN LURED PUPILS FOR FAGIN HUSBAND Gordon, His Wife, Three Youths and Four Small Boys Captured in an Alleged School for Pickpockets. Nine prisoners, a married couple, three young men and four boys, whom the police declare to be the faculty ‘and students of a school for pickpock- ets and thieves at No. 8 Second street, were arrainged to-day in Yorkville Court by Detectives Ernst and McNeil, of the Fifth street station, The boys were sent to the Children's Society as witnesses and the others remanded for further investigation. George Gordon, twenty years old, and his wife, Lillian, aged nineteen, were arraigned as the phinclpal and chief as- sistant in the course of instruction. They occupy a furnished room at the Second street address. Henry Charot, sixteen years old, of No, 114 Eights ave- nue; John McCarthy, twenty-eight, of Third street and First avenue, and | d Nathan Perlmutter, sixteen, of No. 173 First street, were accused of being demonstrators and post-graduate stu- dents. ’ The students who had not taken their degrees, according to the detectives, were ‘Isadore Levy, eleven years old, of No, 10 Cannon atreet; Moses Kratsberg, ‘owelve, of No, 139 Norfolk street; Joseph Dayia, twelve, of No, 93 Ludlow street, ‘and. Jullus Roses, eighteen, of No. 34 Rockaway avenue, Brooklyn. Only one of the prisoners, McCarthy, 1s known to the police as ‘naving been arrested be- fore. Ernst and McNell ‘had been looking for the school for a long time. Yester- day afternoon, watching the door of No. §3 Second avenue, they saw .

OPEN DOOR PROBLEM IS NOT SO EASY TO SOLVE, Trade Jealousies Cropping Out and Delegates at Algeciras Conference Watching the Growing Coldness of France and Ger- many—Spain Especially Alert. LONDON, Jan. 20.—The pacific tone of the news reports coming from the Moroccan Conference at Algeciras, Spain, is not justified, according to private information received here. Even the news despatches to-day, contain vague hints of an approaching crisis, It is believed that trouble will certainly ensue, because none of tha interested powers in the com ference is disposed to yield an inch. A telegram received this afternoon from Malaga indicates that Morocco ‘has coneluded to take an active hand in stirring up a disturbance. This déspateh says that @ report is current at Melilla, the Spanish stronghol@ on the north coast of Morocco, that the Moroccan -gunboat Si’ Turki ig about to bombard the Marchica factory over whith thé Belgian flag is floating.

A great deal has been sent out from Algeciras about the anxiety of all the Powers to establish the “open door’ In Morocco. ‘The trouble seems to, be that each of the imterested Powens wants to hold the door. Thus far the influence of Mr, Henry White, the American dele~ gate, upon so much was counted for conciliation, has not been felt to any extent. The rising feeling of distrust is , due seemingly to the unwillingness of, both France and Germany to define, thelr positions beyond reaffirming now somewhat wearlsomely their adherence to the open door, .the sovereignty of the Sultan and the integrity of his ter« ritortes, ‘The French delegates in all their con= versattonal reconnaissances with their opponents have been unable to learn precisely what is the position of Ger- many, nor apparently have the Ger man representatives been able to ascer= tain the joint intentions of France and Great Britain.
