Great Chance for American Publishers

PARIS, France. Dec. 6. - 1t is
stated here that the Mergenthaler Limo
type company of New York, through
its Paris office, is Offering it's lat
est style Linotype machine to French
publishers at tremendously low prices
equal to discounts from 30 per cent to
60 per cent below the prices charged to
American publishers in the United
States. This is a grand opportunity for
American publishers to purchase Amer
lean made Mergenthalers through
French publishers and reimport them
to the United States, as returned manu-
features are not subject to duty The
reason stated for the Linotype war in
France at the present time is that It is
part of a plan of the American Mer-
genthaler company to endeavor to force
the German, English and Canadian
linotype companies into a territorial
agreement giving the American COM
pany the entire field of the American
continent This is deemed necessary by
the American company in view OF the
fact that its patents upon the single
letter standard linotype machines ex-
pire in the United States in September
next. If the American company sue
ceeds in forcing an agreement as out
lined, then the American publishers will
be left in the clutches OF the Mergen-
thaler company OF New York for years
but If it does not succeed then the
German, English and Canadian com
panies will be offering their machines
in the United States next September
when there is no doubt the prices of
linotype machines viii come down with
crash. 1t seems as if Il would pay
the American publishers to either get
their linotype machines through
French sources or withhold their orders
until after next September and see
what turns up.

BY Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--The appro-
priation by congress of at least $780,
100000 ann@1lly for the Improvement
of the rivers and, harbors of the coun-
try was the keynote of the speeches
delivered before the National Rivers
and Harbors convention which as
sembled here today for two days
session.
Addresses : ere made at the morning
session by Speaker Cannon and Theo-
dore e. Burton, chairman of the house
committee on rivers and harbors.
Speaker Cannon warned the dele
gates not to expect too much from
congress, for he said, too much
cannot be done at one time. Do the
most important thing first and con-
centrate upon it and then take UP the
next most important thing"
Mr.. Burton said that the convention
should not ask for an appropriation
from congress for any particular COM
munity, but for the greater projects
of the country. He thought less
should be spent on the navy and more
for improvement of the rivers and
harbors of the country.
AT the afternoon session speeches
were made by John Barrett, American
minister TO COLON Dla; j. N. real OF
Portland, Ore, Ex-senator Berry. Of
Arkansas and others.
The committee on reorganization
recommended the discontinuance of the
executive committee and suggested as
officers the following:
A president, one vice president from
each state and territory represented
in the convention, to be named by the
delegates; a secretary and a treasurer,
which office may be held by one per-
son.
The committee also recommended:
1T shall be the duty Of the board to
prosecute the work of securing regular
and increased annual appropriations
for internal waterway improvements of
the country without regard to particu-
lar localities or projects and to aid
in the 1nolding of public sentiment
in favor of such a movement.
1.-THE board is further charged with
the duty of increasing membership in
the congress of trade, commercial and
waterway associations, corporations,
firms and individuals.
The congress tonight elected repre-
sentative Joseph E. Ransdell of Louis
lana president. Among those chosen
as members of the board of directors
are Rufus P. Jennings, San F'rancisco;
A. H. Devers, Portland, Ore.

French Praise Message

PARIS, Dec. 6.-All the French
newspapers today publish editorials on
President Roosevelt's message, unani-
mously selecting for comment his re-
marks upon the Japanese situation as
being "most characteristic Of the
man." and praising the president
courage.
The general opinion can be summed
up in the words of the Petit Repub-
lique as follows: His presentation OF
the Japanese question was an eloquent
feature of his address. 1t constitutes
a lesson in International politeness and
shows that in order for a nation to
have the right to insist on the proper
treatment of its subjects abroad. it is
necessary to begin according similar
treatment to foreigners at home. The
president has spoken with courage, re-
gardless of popularity. Il He has per-
formed his duty as an American and
as chief of state"

WILL HANDLE ONLY
HAWAIIAN P|AEAPPLES

One of the passengers leaving Ho-
nolulu on the Korea yesterday was w.
NJ. Griffen. head of the San Francisco
firm of Griffen & Shelley Co., fruit
packers and merchants. This is one of
the biggest firms in the business in
California, having trade connections
all over the United States, and the
purpose of the visit of Mr.. Griffen
here was to close a deal by which
his firm will handle the entire product
of the new cannery of the Hawaiian
Islands Packing Company whose can
merry at Wahiawa will be ready to
operate with the coming. in of the new
pineapple crop on July 1.
I'VE propose to do our best to push
the product on the mainland said
Mr.. Griffen yesterday. I'VE are in the
business of handling canned fruits. and
it will be necessary to educate our
customers up to the taste for Hawai-
ian pineapple. But the fruit is the
finest in the world, and once they
know what we have it will sell all
right We have connections in all the
principal cities in the United States,
and we can ship the pines with our
own fruit and so get cheaper rates. It
will be necessary to find a market
much wider than that of California,
but I think that we can do that ali
right
