Kaiser's Visit to Morocco Hos
. tile to France.
Wlfij MAKE SULTAN DEFIANT
French' Government Admits Resent
. ment at His Action, and Britain
-'; Seizes Occasion to Show
Friendship for France. .
X5NDOX. Maroh CO. The Associated
Press "learned at the Foreign Office today
that Chancellor von Buelows announce
ment In the Reichstag yesterday of Ger
many's policy toward Morocco came as a
complete surprise to the British govern
ment. It was believed, as had been gen
erally declared, that Emperor William's
visit to Tangier was "without political sig
nificance. When the Anglo-French entente was
concluded in ISO! France officially Inform
ed Germany of the fact, and also of the
agreement between herself and Spain,
signed six months later, whereby France
was given a mandate to regulate, the af
Xairs of Morocco. Reforms in Morocco
were Imperatively necessary for the good
of all the powers commercially interest
ed la the country, and, as a concert of the
powers had proved so difficult and un
workable In Turkey. China and elsewhere,
where It had been tried, it was the opinion
of the British government that one pow
er alone could best exert pressure on the
Saltan of Morocco. France, being far the
deepest concerned financially and com
mercially, naturally was given the man
date to institute reforms.
As the open door was guaranteed and
equal commercial rights Insured to all
the countries concerned. It was said at
the Foreign Office that it Is difficult to
understand here what can be Germany's
motive. The German attitude, it Is be
lieved, will certainly make the Sultan of
Morocco defiant of the Fronch and causo
him to persist In his old-tlmo conduct,
which will be destructive of trade and en
danger life.
POLICY AROUSES RESENTMENT
France Intimates Diplomacy Can Sat
isfy Claims of Germany. I
PARIS, March 30. Chancellor von Buc
low's speech in the Reichstag yesterday
. tn the subject of Morocco hat? not pro
voked any Commotion here. The officials,
press and public discuss the matter calm
ly, and It was not mentioned In cither
branch of Parliament today. A semi-of-ilcial
statement in the Temps says:
"If Germany inakes known her point
of view, through the usual diplomatic
channel, it will be aesured a satisfactory
answer. There is no thought of ihe ques
tion getting beyond diplomatic limits, al
though the prominence Germany Is giving
to her Morrocan policy aroused resent
ment in home quarters."
Dispatches from Tangier give elaborate
details of the preparations being made for
the reception of Emperor "William, who
Is expected there tomorrow. The Sultan
of Morocco has sent a epeclal embassy to
Tangier to present an Arab horse to the
Emperor. Captain Fournier,- the com
mander of the French troops at Tangier,
will co-operate with the commander of
the native troops In preserving order.
Great interest attaches to the expected
arrival at Tangier of Raisull, the brigand
chief who captured Jon Perdlcaris and
Cromwell Varley, and who will lead the
native cavalcade.
EFFECT OF V18IT ON FRANCE
Kaiser's Purpose May Be Concilia
tory, but Result May Be Opposite.
"LONDON". March ZL The editorials and
other articles printed in the London
newspapers this morning reflect to a cer
tain sense of uneasiness, almost amount
ing to irritation, at the Idea, based on
Chancellor von Buelows speech in the
RelchBtag on -March 29. that Emperor
"William's visit to Tangier has a distinct
ly political motive. The subject was also
much commented upon In the lobbies jot
the Houses of Parliament yesterday.
"Russia's eclipse is Germany's oppor
tunity," crystallizes in a sentence the
goneral Idea prevalent on the subject. It
is suggested that Emperor William, tar
from desiring to irritate France, wishes
rather to emphasize the diminished value
of the Russian alliance -and thereby per
suade France of the advisability of a rap
prochement with Germany.
At the same time, those least, inclined
to cavil at the German Emperor's action
admit that it is calculated to stiffen the
Sultan's resistance to French policy in
Morocco and so retard the civilizing
scheme involved In the Anglo-French
agreement. In this light the -usually mod
erate Dally Telegraph says the Emperor's
visit to Tangier can only be regarded as
an unfriendly act.
Other papers are Inclined to doubt the
wisdom of Emperor William's policy,
which they think is more likely -to result
in strengthening the Anglo-French en
tente. Much satisfaction therefore is ex
pressed at the exchange of visits which
is being arranged for the French and
British fleets during the coming Sum
mer. The initiative in this demonstration
of friendship is said to have been taken
by the British government, and in Paris it
seems to be hoped that the -visit of the
British squadron to Brest or Cherbourg
would be the occasion also of a visit by
King Edward or some other member of
the royal family to Paris. Nothing, how
ever, has been definitely arranged In this
latter direction.

PORT ATT PRINCE, HayU. March DO.
Some scenes of disorder this morning,
provoked - by Haytian soldiers, occurred
in the market and main streets, but were
quickly suppressed by the police.

tain order and has taken great precau
tions. All the troops arc confined to their
barracks, and It Is believed that in splte
of the action of tho people against the
Syrians rioting will be avoided. Presi
dent Nord has Issued orders vigorously to
suppress all attempts to pillage.
All Syrians have closed their stores
and those who are American or .French
citizens or British subjects have hoisted
the flags of their respective nationalities
over their residences and stores. The lat
ter will remain closed for several days.
The Syrians believe they will be able to
reopen for business April 3 or 4. hoping
that the excitement of the populace will
have calmed down by thatMlme, but the
hostile attitude of the people against the
Syrians leads to the fear that grave inci
dents may occur the day they reopen their
stores, if the measures taken for their
protection are not sufficient.
The news that an American warship
had been ordered to this port has pro
duced, a good Impression among the mem
bers of the foreign colony.

BRIBERY CHARGE IN JERSEY
Reporter Called to Time for Publish

TRENTON, N. J., March 30. The
charges In a Trenton newspaper of yes
terday that bribery had been used in con
nection with the passage by the House
of the Morris Canal abandonment bill,

H. A. Conover, the leglsIaUve reporter
of the newspaper, admitted writing an
article which stated that it was common
rumor that certain members had received
$300 each, with a promise of $500 more.
Pressed as to the name of his informant,
he refused to answer. SubsequenUy a
law was read to him which made it a
mlsdomeanor to fall to answer unless he
should claim that an answer would In
criminate and degrade himself. He said
he made no such claims, and finally gave
the name of Frederick Ege. of the Ho
bbken Observer, as the reporter who had
given him the infonnaUon.
The Morris Canal Is owned by the state

j. MORGAN SMITH CAUGHT
NAN PATTERSON'S SISTER AND
BROTHER-IN-LAW IN JAIL.
End of Year's Search for Man Who
Bought Revolver AH Three Are
Indicted for Conspiracy.
CINCINNATI, March 30. J. Morgan
Smith and wife were arrested in this clty
today on a charge of conspiracy to mur-'
der. The arrest was made on' a elegraphlo
request of District Attorney Jerome, of
New York City. Nan Patterson, the act
ress who was twlco put on trial for the
murder of Caesar Young in New York,
on May 4, ISM, is charged with conspiracy
in the same connection, new indictments
to this effect having been found In Now
York today.
.Smith and his wjfe left Now York a
few months after the murder and before
the beginning of the mistrial, and for a
long time the authorities were unable to
locate them. Smith's testimony and his
identity are considered almost vital to the
case against MIm Patterson. Several
weeks ago a New York detective met
Smith in Montreal and from that time un
til the arrests here today this officer has
awaited a favorable time for making the
arrest. He followed the couple, part of
the time as traveling companion, over
half the continent, having made friends
with Smith, who knew him to be a detec
tive, but believed he was after some other
person. Detroit, Cleveland and a number
of Canadian cities were visited.
Finally Smith went to Nashville and
Louisville in the hope of securing a posi
tion with some of the bookmakers In
those cities, leaving his wife in Cleveland.
He was unsuccessful and came to Cin
cinnati, where his wife met him on
Wednesday. Mrs. Smith said she had rel
atives in Covington, Ky.. and she went
with her husband to- that city yesterday
to call on these people, who, however, re
fused to see the visitors and afterwards
declared that there was no relationship
between them. Returning to this city.
Smith registered at the Grand Hotel as
H. H. Banning and wife.
The detective had kept in telegraphic
communication with New York and had
deferred the arrest until it was possible
to arrest both, their separation soon after
reaching the United States on returning
from Canada having caused the delay.
The arrest was quietly made and Smith
and his wife were taken to police head
quarters, where they made nd attempt
to" deny or conceal their Identity, although
both denied any guilt In connection with
the case.
They-oth showed signed signs of ner
vousness and worry, but both declared
that they would return to New York
without requisition "papers, as they had
expected to do, although they had not
anticipated going under arrest.
The detective who has been following
Smith says that he went under many
aliases In different cities before register
ing here as H. H. Banning. At Hamil
ton, Ont., he called himself Busb. at Mon
treal ho was known as Adams, at Detroit
as Collins and in Cleveland as Robinson.
ALL THREE ARE INDICTED.
Nan Patterson and the Two Smiths
Accused of Conspiracy.
NEW YORK. March 30. The grand
Jury In this city today handed down in
dictments against J. Morgan Smith, Julia
Smith, his wife, and Nan Patterson.
charging them Jointly with conspiracy.
The indictments are based on a letter
alleged to have been written by Julia
Smith to Caesar Young, in which. It Is
alleged, was a threat and a demand for
money for the Patterson girl.
This action by the grand jury followed
a hearing at the criminal. courts build
ing at which several witnesses. Including
xne wiaow or uaesar xoung and Mrs.
Young's brother-in-law. "William Luce.
were examined by Assistant District At
torney Rand, who conducted the recent
trial of Nan Patterson for Young's m,ur-f
uer. wnicn resuuea jn a disagreement Dy
the Jury.
The arrest of Smith and his wife at
Cincinnati, according to the local au
tborities. will have an important bear
ing upon the new trial of the Patterson
girl on the charge of murder, set for
April 10. At a previous trial an attempt
was made to prove that tho revolver
which Young was shot was purchased
by Smith and a woman the day before
the tragedy.
A deputy Sheriff of the District At
torney's office left here today for Albany,
with requisition papers for Smith and his
wife, which Governor Hlgglns will be
asked to sign. As soon as the Governor's
signature is obtained the deputy will
start for Ohio. In addition to the con
spiracy charge. Smith is also nndor In
dictment for contempt of court In falling
to. respond to a subpena In the prelim
inary examination before the grand Jury.
Nan Patterson, had not been Informed
of the arrest of her sister and brother-in-law
up to a late hour.

If Railroads Cannot Deal Fairly, Pub
lic Should Control Them.
i
HARTFORD, Conn., March 30.
Charles S. Mell'en. nrpsl.iBnt nf , v-ow
York, New Haven & Hartford Railrdad,
appeared ioaay oeiore tne committee
on railroads of tho Connecticut Gen
eral Assembly to advocate certain pro
posed amendments to the charter of
the Consolidated Hailw.iv f!nmnnni- fha
holding corporation of 400 miles of trol-
j iuiea ownea Dy xne isew York, New
Haven & Hartford Company. During
the course of his argument, Mr. Mellcn
discussed the question of corporate
control, saying in pt.rt:
The demand which has resulted for a. strict
enpervUlon of railroad In the Interest of
tho public welfare Is the Issue of the hour.
It Is right It should be had. There have
grown up great abases without doubt, and It
Is time they were laid bare and stopped. A
railroad enjoys great privileges from the pub
lie. It performs a public service. It Imposes
a tax which should be 'alike to all who use
it, and if it cannot handle itself without dis
crimination between pereona and places and
treat all alike fairly. It Is time for the
nubile- which crutfd It tn itr.i-H.
control It. when It has sliown It cannot be.
trusted to control Itself.
But it Is not a project to be entered upon
hastily. You do not want to make the care
worse than the disease. Here Is net a case
for the dilettante, for theorist. Tor cranks;
but for the man of affairs, the Jurist of re
pute, the man who puts his citizenship above
other consIderaUons. Give It into their hands
and give ttem Ume. and do not make another
blunder like the interstate commerce law
and establish a tribunal that will be so
anxious for more power it will neglect to
use what It has.
THROW LIGHT ON GAS MONOPOLY
New York. Committee Begins Investi
gation of Extortion.
NEW YORK. March SO. The first day's
session of the legislative committee which
is inquiring into the lighting situation and
alleged monopoly and combination of gas
and electric companies in New York City
was productive of a statement on the part
of Senator Stevens, the chairman, that
no executive sessions will be held; that
tho companies must give their answers
to all questions publicly and must pro
duce the books giving complete accounts
of receipts and expenditures. This,
coupled with the announcement that
, Charles F. Murphy, leader of" Tammany
Hall, would be called as a witness, gave
aide's interest to the hearing.
An official of the Consolidated Gas Com
pany, the controlling organization of
many lighting concerns, declared that the
company has been operating at a deficit
of from J1.000.0CO to ri.OCO.000 yearly. He
admitted, however, that this deficit was
shown after payment of dividends rang
ing from S to 10 per cent.
