EXPERIMENT FAILS IN FRANCE
Reduction of Letter Postage Makes
Less Revenue and Heavier
Expenses.

Paris, July 16.-The reduction of
letter postage in France last year from
5 to 2 cents has not resulted in the
augmentation of mailed letters ex-
pected. but has created a large deficit
which has seriously raised the Ques-
ton as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of continu-
ing the reform.
The diminution in postal receipts
from frst-class mail matter for the
first nine months under the new law
IS S4.45T, $50. to which must be added
the increased cost of service, amount
ing TO SS71, 720. The increase in the
percentage of letters mailed under the
reduced rate of postage was less than
10 per cent.

PRESIDENT CAMPS OUT
He, His Son and Some of His Nephews
Spend Night in the Open
on the Shore.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 16.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt spent the night in the
open on the sound shore at Lloyd's
Neck. With him were his sons and
three Of his nephews. For years the
president has made it a practice to
spend a night either In the woods or
on the shore with his boys, and the
night picnic, as it is called, has grown
to be for them a real climax of de-
light in the summer vacation.
The night was an ideal one, the
new moon hanging in the west until
the camp fire burned low, and the air
being stirred just enough to be de-
lightful, the evening meal was cook ed
over the camp fire, and breakfast the
same way.

Ended, Perhaps

San Francisco, July 16.-The first
ecution was struck by the Louis Glass
defense in open court, through Emil
]. thinner, second vice president and
director of the Pacific States Telephone
company, who first refused to be
sworn; afterward accepted the oath
and took the stand, answered two or
three unimportant questions put by AS
sistant District Attorney Heney, then

Judge Lawler committed for contempt

by the court this means that thinner
must stay in jail throughout the pro-
gress of the Glass trial, or until he sig
mites his willingness to testify.
State Banked on thinner.
On thinner the prosecution relied as
Vice President Glass, accused of brib-
cry. At the time this crime is alleged
to have been committed, March OF
1906, Louis Glass was acting president
and general manager of the Pacific
States company, owing to the death of
President John l. Sabin. Before the
grand jury thinner testified that Glass
drew checks for the bribery money al
legged to have been paid to the super
visors, caused thinner to cash them.

money to Agent Halsey and require
from Halsey no voucher, merely car
