READY TO PROCEED.
Ruef's Attorneys Withdraw Writ of
Error and Want the Case Tried.

San Francisco, March 25.-Abraham
Ruef's attorneys have, it is said, with
drawn their writ of error filed with the
United States supreme court and state
that they are now anxious to proceed
at once with the trial on a charge of
extortion. Attorney Frank Murphy
said last night:
I'VE have instructed our representa-
tive in Washington to withdraw the
writ of error filed by us. This de-
cision was reached on account of the
decision of the state supreme court
to the effect that the participation of
an incompetent juror does not affect
the validity Of an indictment. We will
proceed without further delay with the
trial Of Abraham Ruef."

PROMPT ACTION
To Be Taken BY France to Protect
Foreigners In Morocco.

Paris, March 25.-As n result of the
cabinet meeting today it was decided
to send French troops to occupy Oudia,
a frontier town in Morocco, until the
Moorish government gives full salts
faction to France for the assassination
Of DR.. Mauchamp. The French de-
manGs for reparation will be forward
ed to Fee Immediately
Paris, March 25.-The French press is
clamoring Tor energetic action in Mo-
rocco. A Germanophobe sentiment has
been aroused by the intimation that
German inspired the attack which re-
suited in the assassination Of DR.. Maui
champ at Morocco City and this has
been famed by War Minister Picquart's
transfer of General BaillOud from the
command of the Sixteenth Corps of the
Army of the east for speech which
the general delivered on the occasion
of the retirement of colonel, during
which he referred to the inevitable COM
ing war with Germany when France
would have an opportunity to win back
AISace and Lorraine. The ChauVinis-
tic papers accuse the war minister and
Premier Clemenceau of cowardice in
disgracing a gallant officer
Foreign Minister Pichon, at an extra
ordinary session of the cabinet today,
recommended policy of reprisals if
necessary to secure from the Moroccan
government satisfaction for the muir
der of Dr. Mauchamp. The Temps
says the steps contemplated by the gov
eminent involve not only naval DEM
onstration, but direct coercion.
The armCred cruiser Jeanne Dare,
and the cruiser Lalande which sailed
from ToulOn yesterday for Tangier, car
ried field equipment for marines.
The French foreign office has dis
patched a note to the overs explaining
the situation.
The decision of the French govern
ment to occupy Oudja means that
troops will Immediately cross the
Algerian frontier from Tlemsen, where
considerable forces of at arms are sta
toned. The decision was reached in
order to compel a Moorish response to
the repeated demands of France for the
repression of disorder and reparation
for abuses of power, crimes and as
saints, affecting French citizens resld-
iIg in Morocco. The Moroccan govern
ment has persistently refused to eX-
ecute the agreement concluded with
France in 1901 and 1902 and has abso-
lutclv ignored the French government
representations On the subject.

DIR. A. f. Gibson writes: ut may seem
strange to US, though the fact neverthe-
Tess remains, that the veterans of the
grand army of Napoleon. weighed down
by age and glory, were men of whom few
had passed their thirty-ffth year. 1t was

early age and no overtures Of real youth

The same result of increasing produc- tion comes from the use of power driv- en tools in working up manutactured materials for structural purposes pneumatic tools have been applied mainly in riveting. Yet invention m this single process has immensely cheapened the cost of operation, Oth- CT similar processes are likewise aftec- ted with similar results. As yet, how ever, outside of shipyards of the Great Lakes, this reduction in the cost or production. has apparently not affected our capacity to build ships in conpeti- tion with foreigners.
 Pobably the main reason is that in the more progressive shipyards abroad all of our economizing devices have been adopted or adapted, with the re- suit of introducing possibly greater economies than our own inventions have provided for home production, The German shipyards were quick to see the advantage of pneumatic tools in the construction of boilers and steel hulls The English and Irish ship yards were somewhat slower, but this apparent disadvantage was Q vercome for the time being only by the greater amount of work for which a high de- gree of skill had been attained in hand operation.
 The lesson to be drawn from this is that no modern country can make any great advance in the arts, whether by Introducing mechanical economies or otherwise, without other countries availing themselves more or less promptly Wonderful as the pneuma- tic tools are, they are no sooner in vented and patented here than the American agent is sent into the foreign field to introduce them and put them in operation.
 This is one of the phases of interna- tional competition which no tariff can regulate and no trade policy prevent. The age of machinery is dominated by an equalizing tendency in the instru- ments of economic competition. The greatest contributors to progress at home In the inventive fields are repre- sented in other nations almost simulta- Ineously. So that the actual working equipment of rival nations is not quite so difficult as some of our publiclsts would have us believe. The inventors and makers of power driven tools are among the worlds greatest leyelers. But they level up, and not down. Wall Street Journal.

Pettis, was called before the committee and stated that the fees amount to about S4OO a quarter, or $1,6OO a year. Representative Gum then asked MT. Pettis:
 ''Is there any truth in the statement that has been made that you divide fees with the judge?"
 The question caused 8 stir in the room and MT. Pettis replied:
 That is a cruel and deliberate false hood"
 Attorney William Shields, who rep resented Judge Brown at the hearing, was vicibly affected and immediately called Judge Brown, who was in the room The latter addressed the com mittee, denying that he was party to any corruption and defying any man to say he was. He referred to his rec ord in the senate and in his home town, and ended:
 And I don't think that you, MT. Gum, believe such a story
 MT. Gum replied that the statement had been made, and he was glad that Judge Brown was there to refute the statement. Tne incident ended at this point, but the Norwich citizens discuss ed it in groups for some time after the hearing.

 Sensational Incident in Hartford Com
 cerning Norwich City Court.
 Hartford, March LA sensational in-
 cident occurred this afternoon during
 the hearing before the committee on judiciary, when through question to
 the prosecuting attorney of the city
 court of Norwich by member of the
 committee intimation was made of a
 charge that there had been division
 between the judge and the prosecuting attorney of the fees of the latter. The , incident occurred during a hearing on the appointment of a judge for the city court of Norwich Two resolutions were before the committee, one asking the appointment of John D. Hall and the other the reappointment of the
 present incumbent, Lucius Brown.
 Several petitions were presented favor ing the latter, and one for Mr. Hall. A number of the leading citizens of Nor wich were also present and spoke in behalf of their respective candidates. It was generally agreed by all that either man would fill the position sat- |isfactorily, and the hearing progressed amlcably until all the evidence was in.
 Then the members of the committee
 began to ask questions, which elicited
 the information that the police court of Norwich had a system whereby the judge received a salary of $1,20O and Lf
 fees. In order to ascertain the amount
 of fees paid in one year the prosecut- ing attorney at the present time, H. H.

WHAT PowER-DR1vEN TOOLS DO

WHAT POWER-DRIVE1N TOOLS DO.
 What an immense gain was made when the wearied hand of man put the powers of nature to work to drive his tools for him. The conversion of the hand tool into power driven machine marks a new era in mans economic history.
 The annual reports of some of the leading pneumatic tool companies call attention again to another of the revo- lutionary influences which power-driv- en tools have introduced into industry. Two great industries have especially been affected by the application of pneumatic power to tool working ope- rations. These are mining and the manufacture of steel structures, includ- Ing the hulls of ships, bridge parts and steel framework for large buildings, In mining, especially coal and ore min- ing, the greatest change effected has been to increase the volume of output by steam or pneumatic drills.
 The progress of machine mining is H. lustrated by the report of the mine in- spector of West Virginia. There in 1897 f1fty-five machines were at work, and the production of coal by machine was a little over six hundred thousand tons. In the first of these years 5.12 per cent. of the total cost produced was by ma chinery, and in the last year mentioned BETA per cent. Meanwhile the number of employees connected with the opera ton of mining machines increased from 652 to 1O,137, In 1901 there were ten employees to every machine. In 1906 the ratio was about the same, so that machinery did not apparently in this case reduce the number of employees re- Quired, but maintained more or less constant ratio of addition. In other words, each additional machine called for ten additional employees.
