PARIS, Nov. 20.-Although more re-

church inventories today no grave in

When the soldiers battered down the
doors of the church at Villelongue de
la Salangue they. were driven out by
sulphur fumes and the prefect was
compelled to postpone taking the inven-
tory.
In most cases the parish priests and
bishops, after protesting, yielded to a

| were broken down.
! In hundreds of cases the priests were
taken by surprise, the authorities and
soldiers arriving before daylight and
j completing their work before an alarm
could be given.
Work of inventorying has been COM
! pleted in sfxty-three out of the total OF
eighty-siX departments There still re-
main 1000 inventories to be taken in the
other twenty-three departments. and
in some places serious disturbances are
anticipated.
The net results of the inventory
operations conducted throughout the
country late tonight show that total
of more than 1900 inventories were
made.
In only few cases were there serious
collisions between those who resisted
the intrusion of the governmnt com
mlssioners and the troops.
Reports show that altogether four
gendarmes and several peasants were
Wounted and that about a dozen de-
| monstrants were arrested. They were
at once tried and sentenced to short
terms in Jail.

Not only to hold Universal Peace
and Commerce Exposition, but to make
permanent and the greatest play
ground of the world.
This is the plan of the men behind
the movement to hold the commemor-
ative exposition in Los Angeles in
1915.
Every building which shall be erect
ed will be so constructed that it will
be retained as portion of the perman-
ent institution that will succeed the
proposed exposition.
There will be held in connection with
orsas the leading feature of the expo
sition, peace congress composed of
representatives from all the civilized
nations of the world.
There will be formed a holding COM
pany which will buy an immense tract
of ground, a portion of which will be
leased to the exposition company and
the remainder of which will be held
as an investment or sold at a profit
By this means it is proposed to make
the exposition a financial success, to
bring returns to the stockholders, in
stead of a customary loss, and to en-
able the company to quickly raise the
$4,000, 900 necessary, before govern
ment aid is requested.

Plans Meet With Praise

These plans were outlined last night
at meeting at the chamber of COM
merce, and they met with instan-
taneous and hearty Endorsement by
those present.
The remark was made that under
the plan of organization holding com
pany which really would mean the in
corporation of an. immense real estate
company, through whose operations div
idends undoubtedly would be declared,
not the slightest trouble would be eX-
perienced in securing the necessary sub
scription to the stock.
The meeting last night was for the
purpose of the presentation of arsu-
ments by leaders of the exposition prof.
ect to members of the chamber of COM
merce committee on exposition, to
which the question of Endorsement of
the exposition plan had been referred.
Unfortunately, three members of the
committee We're absent from the city
and another was detained at home by
illness. AS a result the only member
present was A. .B. Cass, chairman of
the committee.
AT its conclusion Mr.. Cass expressed
regret that the other members could
not have been present to hear the con-
elusive arguments made in behalf of
the project. He said that the plan as
outlined met his hearty approval. and
that he had no doubt that 1t could be
successfully carried out.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-21
May Meet Again Today

Chairman Cass said he understood
that at least two of the members out OF
the city would return this morning, and
if possible he would call another meet
inc of the committee today in hope
of being able to present report to the
board of directors this afternoon.
Otherwise the subject would of neces-
sity go over until next week
Chairman Cass said that undoubted-
ly the chamber of commerce would, as
a badly and individually, do all in it's
power to successfully promote the hold
ing company and then, after the de-
sired amount of stock is subscribed Of
ficiallly get behind the main project and
assist in securing the appropriation
from congress.
Leaders i'm the movement declared
under such conditions the success of
the venture would be assured from the
start.
The reading of a telegram from H. E.
Huntington showing that the street
railway magnate is heartily in favor
Of the project and Is willing to accept

iasm.

LdFoHette, Radical
But a Good Performer

rate bill, but to the surprise of all, and
much to the surprise of Senator Dolli-
yer, the joint author of the measure,
he did not approve of 1t. 1t fell far
short of the necessities of the case.
1t was too tame. LaFollette wanted
something radical. He wanted heroic
treatment for intolerable evils that
were wrecking things and driving the
American people to ruin. The Hepburn
bill didn't supply the want. Dolliver
was even moved to defend the bill
against some of its supposed friends,
but he made no impression upon the
Wisconsin man. After that Dolliver
went to lunch, saying as he left the
chamber, What's the use?"
The very truth is that LaF'ollette
really hurt the cause of railroad rate
reform. He was more extreme even
than Tillman. His speech will not
be new to Wisconsin people, who have
frequently heard LaFollette expound
his doctrines. 1t was somewhat new
here in Washington, but the impress
sion OF 1t will not be lasting. Both
the proponents and the opponents Of
the Hepburn bill agree as to this.
1t is predicted that an early agree
ment will be reached on an amend
ment to the bill. It is difficult to de-
fine the lines Of difference over the
measure. The president is earnestly
seeking to secure an efficient law. So
is the senate. Neither the president
nor the senate will be led away from
their purpose to enact a suitable
statute. The performance of Tillman
and LaFollette make this more GER
tain each passing day. 1t Is serious
business, and it must be seriously con-
sidered The fact that the president
has greatly modified his original views
and that the senate has refused to
reach hasty conclusion only goes to
prove the wisdom of the senate's pol
icy of proceeding cautiosuly. This is
the senate's habit. When the Tillmans
and the LaFollettes come into control
of the great conservative legislative
body things may 60 of differently.
Radicalism may then triumph. But it
more frequently happens that the Hot
spurs who get into the senate at length
look back to see their earlier mis-
takes. 1t always happens this way, il
at bottom they are of the rational sort

Washington. April Ex-senator La
Toilette has spoken. He was three
days at it. He had much to say and
worked hard. LaFollette is pictur-
esque individual. He is stagey-theat-
rical indeed. There have been few
dramatic incidents in the senate as
the years have rolled along, but only
one vaudeville performance
LaFollette kicked the chairs and
pounded the desks, not alone his own
desk, but the desks Of other senator's,
for he moved impetuously from one
seat to another and rushed into the
adjacent aisles, always in a threaten
ing attitude as if about to demolish the
furniture and tear up the carpets.
Now leaning with one elbow on
desk, now bending forward until his
short body described complete an
gle, now throwing himself to perpen-
dicularity, scowling severely. shaking
his head and clutching the air with
uplifted hands reminding one of a
mlmetograph figure-for three days he
amused the coming and going sight
seers of the gallery.
LaFollette's voice is heavy and
hoarse. He has cultivated the declam-
atory style, and employs with some
effect the ascending and descending in
Election somewhat recklessly. He in
variably fails to suit the action to the
word" He reads from a dry depart
ment report as if it were newly dis
covered material and with the unction
that is better suited to a passage of
real eloquence.
During the second day of his deliv-
cry most of the people who flocked 70
hear him left the gallery, some going
over to the Smithsonian to see the
newly wired mastadon and others to
the Zoo to see the animals. Senators
lolled in their seats evincing curious
interest in the acrobatics of the speak
er Most of them went to lunch at the
regular hour. 1t requires a great in
tellectual effort on the part of speak
er to keep senators away from the
lunch room between / and o'clock
each day. Many of them did not re-
turn after the first scene in the first
act OF the LaFollette performance
