.Conference Takes' to" Question'
of
Pollee Koree for Morocco In
Knrnrst, lint la Affected (
bjr French Crisis.
ALGECIKAS. Spain, Marcli S The min
isterial crisis In Paris caused profound
as.nishment among the delegates of the
pow.-rs attending the Moroccan conference
but the details have not yet reached
Algeciras. The Impression prevails that
the event is deplorable and may possibly
prove disastrous to French diplomacy. Tlio
delegates, however, refuse to commit
themselves on the effect which the down
mo oi int! ttouvier cabinet may nave on
the conference.
Previous to the receipt of the news et
the ministerial crisis at the French capital
the. ton of discouragement had completely
disappeared and the work of rapproachc
ment wits proceeding with feverish actlv
ifhe conference this morning resumed
the discussion of the Moroccan police ques
iion. j nree distinct proportions were
presented, one by the Austrian, delegation
Embodying the German Ideas, another by
the French, and the third by the Moroc
can mission.
Divergence In I'laus
The Austrian plan gives the sultan su
preme command of the police and he is to
elect French officers for the police at
four ports, namely Tangier, Ffitffi, Rabat
and Tetuan, and Bpanlsh officers for three
ports, namely Mogador, lrache and Ma
xagan. The sultan finally Is to select an
inspector general of police from 8witser
land or Holland. The inspector genera
Is to have his headquarters at Casablanca
on the Atlantic coast, Hnd Is to command
the Franco-Spanish police at the otlier
ports.
The Moroccan plan makes the sultan su
preme and asks that all the powers
participate In the orgunirutloii of the io
itie. The French plan, as heretofore outlined,
establishes Frani-o-Spanlnh poUce at eight
of Ihe leading ports.
. Thit foregoing plans are being consid
ered. , i
The' Austro-Uerman plufi concedes a
IFranca-Spanish police, but divides them
in different ports and places them under
a neutral general. The French delega.'
declare that the latter condition Is un
acceptable. However, the presentation of
the plans brings the contestants much
doner together.
Adjourns to Xalorday.
, An ufticlal note issued at the close of the
day's sesrlon reads as follows:
' "Herr vgn Rn.bwlti (ch'ef of the German
mission), referring to the statements mads
by the Russian, Fren' h and Spanish dele
gates at the last session of the conference,
said the German government did not ob
ject to the organiiallon of the Moroccan
police by Fran-.e and Spain at the porta
open to commerce under proper guarantees
assuring economic liberty."
The conference adjournal until Saturday
night to permit the d'-legates to study the
police projects. )
The official statement made by Herr von
Raiiowita today appear to assure an agree
ment. I
The preseutatiop of the French plan by
M. RevotuI, head of the French delegation,
followed the receipt of a telegram from
M. nouvler stating hat the resignation of
the "cabinet left the previous Instructions

supreme court to the return made by War
den Whitney of the penitentiary In the ha
beas corpus proceedings. They are prac
tically indentleal. although In some minor
details, respecting the movements of ihe
accused during some months prior to the
murder of which they ate accused, they dif
fer. Moyer, in his answer, after covering
a number of minor points, says he was on
February 17 a citlien and resident of Den
ver, and had been for four years; that he
had not prior to the acts hereinafter set
forth been in the state of Idaho, nor in
any part thereof, prior thereto, since or
about October 38. !.

the Western Federation of Miners; thst he
remained In Silver City oves-nlaht and dur

Silver City, and thrt next morning returned
to Nampa, and there entered a car of a

prior to said time he had not been in the

ot In Idaho December Hil.
Proceeding the answer states he was not
In Caldwell at the time of the assassina
tion of Frank Steunenberg. It recites the
ssuing of the warrant on February 12 for
his arrest and the issuance of the requisi
tion papers on February. 13. Moyer states
that Governor Gooding. J H. Hawley and
Owen VanDuyn. the county attorney, knew
he was not in Idaho on December SO, the
date of the assassination. Continuing, tho
answer alleges that Governor Gooding. Mr.
Hawley and Mr. Y-nL)uyn conspired to
gether and with other persons unknown to
secure his arrest and removal from Colo

the statute of congress on extradition;
that In pursuance "Of this conspiracy Haw

secretly arrested. I'nder the circumstances,
which would make It Impossible for him to
test the validity of . the extradition, they
ngreed thnt the arrest should be made late
Saturday evening. Febrtiary IT. and that he
be secretly removed from the state. Moyer
further alleges this, was to prevent his
friends from learning of bis arrest and be
thus prevented from suing out a writ of

arrest they Inquired. of the authorities at
the Jail and were Informed no such arrests
had been made.- ' .

claim that a man cannot be extradited for
having conspired In another State to com

sought to have him removed; that he must
actually have been "in the stale when the
crime was committed and become a fugi
tive therefrom. The prouredinga since the

Kdward Flurv. conductor on the Omaha
street railway, was shot and probably
fatally wounded late Wednesday night by
three men, who attempted to rob him. Flury
attempted to draw his revolver when the
robbers told him to put up his hands, and
the robbers fired. One shot taking effect in
the wrist and the other In the side. The
crew of the cat was Just In the act of
turning on the Albright V when the affair
occurred.
There is intense excitment In South
Omaha over the shooting of Kdward Flury
at the end of the Albright line Wednesday
night. The entire police force has been
working all day. A clue or two has been
run down, and Officer Morton and Captain
Shields were out with shotguns on ona
which promised well. Nothing came of It,
however. All the auspicious character so
far as discovered have been arrested. Most,
If not. all of these, will be able to disprove
connection with the crime, but there Is
hope that by sieving so many at Inst the
right ones will be taken.
A number of, anxious street car men vis
ited the ci,tjf jail .and. anions them. F. 8.

The police have ceased to believe that the
robberies and the shooting of last Wednes
day night were the woFk of negroes, but
believe that the men were all white and
had blacked their hand and faces before
doing the holdup In the saloons. The men
at the atreet car were white, according to
the statement of Flury and his motorman.
The officers made a visit to Fort Crook
last night, guided by a' slight c lue, but
made no arrest. The most promising sus
pect was arrested by. Captain Shields at
about S:t6 p. ni. His name Is Art HID and
he has often been, arrested for petty thiev
ery. He answer the description of the
short and chunky member of the gang.
When arrested he., became silent at once
and aid nof seem at all curious to know
why he was taken. He has not been
sweated yet 'and "will be held for Investiga
tion. ' ' , v -
Only Fighting; Chanoe of Reeoery.
Edward Flury, the street car Conductor
who was shot by highwaymen at Albright
Wednesday night, has only a fighting
chance for recovery, so Dr. A. P. Condon
reported Thursday morning. At 1 p. m. he
was pronounced slightly worse. I'pon ex
amination the surgeons fnund one of the
bullets had passed through the right lob
of the liver, injuring the kidney, and thon
lodged in . the man', back. Flury' chief
dangers are now from the sever
hemorrhage he is having, Dr. Condon
stated. Although Mr. Flury appeared
hopeful Thursday morning and recognised
Assistant Superintendent Nash of the
street car company, the surgeons said th
patient had . not passed the real danger
point. . v.
Mr. Flury Is 4u year ot ag and has
lieeu in the service of the street car com
pany three year. He Is a single man.
The street car company lias a standing
reward of for the arrest and convic
tion of ersons holding up employes of
that company. No clue to the robber has
been obtained. . . . .
Regarding money . la.ke.ii from -an eel car

and some betting wa4 Indulged In on
the street as to who elands the loss,
the company or tbe- man.. An official of
the company aald emphatically the com

"Of course In such case the shortage
Is charged galiu.f the mail salary ac

fuct of a genuine robbery, when the money

I made for obvious reason."
Two Other Holdnps.
Besides the shooting of Conductor Flury
two other holdups were committed in
South .Omaha during tbe night, evidently
by the same three men, negroes. Their
first depredation was at The saloon of H.
H. King, Thirty-second and R-streets, ut
11:30. Unmasked, the three, negroes entered
and, confronting tho bartender with re
volver, took from him H.S'i.
Promtly leaving, they next were heard

tered and as easily as they left the other
place, the outlaws departed with their
booty. It was about 12:15 a. m. when ihev

to give up.
