~ California, wheye the natives
never came under the direct control OF
the Spanish padres who established the
California missions. They are an In
dependent, sturdy lot Of people, in
habiting n reservation on which not
q tenth part Of tLc same number of
white people could manage TO sub
sist. Yet they are Woodworking and
non-complaining, as a rule. and they
resent the idea that they are unable
TO care for themselves and need the
assistance Of the whites.
i have visited them several times,
and always with great interest. On
my last visit I learned that q woman
had just died, and that the wake
would be held that night and the
funeral on the morrow. Accordingly

RECIPROCITY
is ASKED FOR
Many Callers Discuss Subject
With Roosevelt.
URGE THAT ACTION BE TAKEN
OPPOSITION, HOWEVER. COMES
FROM CONGRESSMAN DALZELL.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The presi-
dents time today was largely taken
up in the discussion OF reciprocity.
Senator Cullom of Illinois and Repre-
sentative Dalzell Of Pennsylvania had
something to say to him on that sub
ject, and a delegation Of agricultural
implement manufacturers, consisting
of James Deering Of Chicago, A. B.
Farquhar of York. Pa. and W. V.
Barker of New York, who are here to
attend the reciprocity convention,
which meets tomorrow, presented a
memorial strongly urging that some
thing be done.
The delegation told the president
that in its opinion the time for action
had come. Reciprocity had been
talked and preached about for years,
and unless a decisive step was taken
now which would affect the whole
subject it might as well be abandoned.
The members of the delegation said
they had no particular interest in any
of the treaties, but thought, taken al
together that the French treaty more
nearly represented the best POSSIBLE
tiles in the way Of reciprocity and that
if it could be ratified a distinct victory
would be won.
Senator CUllOm. after his interview
with the president. talked in the same
vein. His attitude is considered as i'm
portant and as actually settled and
that he will be at the head of the for
eign relations committee.
Mr.. Dalzell, who talked with the
president for almost half an hour, is
hostile to all the reciprocity.
THE only reciprocity I favor" said
he, lis reciprocity on the basis Of ron
competing articles. The 20 per cent
cut on textile fabrics in the French
treaty would destroy the textile indus
tries of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
While there is just now much talk of
reciprocity, in my opinion nothing viii
be done during the coming session of
congress-
Representative Roberts Of Massa-
chusetJs, another of the presidents
callers today, said there was a strong
@+iment for reciprocity in New Eng
land.
1T" said he, 1--WE do not want the
sort Of reciprocity that viii open our
markets to foreign competitors and
give US nothing in return"
Mr.. Roberts said that the leather
