The suggestion has been made
that the governor should issue a
proclamation setting aside one day
as Sparrow Day" in Texas and
let the whole population turn out
and exterminate those little feath-
cred vagabonds. the English spar
rows. If they do any good we
have never heard of it; and on the
other hand they infest every nook
and Granny OF caves and cutters,
I'LL the house with mites and be-
foul ethe water, especially where
cisterns are used. They are no
doubt in many instances a source
of sickness among the people and
should be fought with the per-
sistence with which the people of
Texas fight green bugs and boil
weevils.

STRONG DEFENSE
 OF CORPORATIONS
THEODORE suTRo OF NEW YORK SPEAKS ON TAXATION OF COR ROTATIONS AND THEIR USE IN INDUSTRY.

Columbus, O., November 14.-The ledd- ing address at tonight's session was made by Theodore Sutro of New York, chair man of the committee on taxation of the American Bar association. He spoke on "The Taxation of Competitive Industrial corporations. He said in part
 "The vast bulk of industrial enterprises is now in the hands of corporations. They have built up the country. If 1t is to the interest of the nation that its wealth should be developed, it is also to it's in terest rather to encourage instead of dis courage, as 1t does at the present time, the agencies which have produced this wealth, namely. industrial corporations. It is an unsound argument to say that the burdens of taxation on such corpora tions can not be very heavy, if 1t is ad- mitted that the industrial business of the country has tended to concentrate more and more into their hands,, That is all the more reason for not taking measures which may tend to jeopardize the pros- perity of these corporations in the future.
 Mir Sutro suggested that shares or stock in the hands of individuals should be directed only against a corporation as a unit, and with respect to this pos sibly also every paper evidence of an in- terest in other corporations principally should be taxed in the same way.

Nenotiations Broken Of.

Paris. November 1i.-The negotiations which ]. P. Morgan & Co. have been conducting with the Bank of France to ob- tain between $D 100000 and $i0,OD,000 in gold for direct shipment to New York were definitely broken off today. They had been in progress since last week, and for a time seemed on the point of being successful but the final demand that the United States government furnish a guarantee could not be compiled with.
 The history of the negotiations is sub stantially as follows:
 The Bank of England. which had ob tained gold from the Bank of France 10 days ago to meet the New York drain. offered to try and repeat the operation, but it having been learned indirectly that several regents of the Bank of France were as a friendly act to the United States disposed to look favorably upon a. proposition to furnish aid. negotiations to this end were begun. The first con dition was that the United States govern ment should formally reqtest such aid. This condition was compiled with. The United States government allowed the French government to understand through diplomatic channels. that it would be "gratiied" if the operation could be arranged. The French government was favorably disposed and communicated with the Bank of France. Tho regents of the latter Institution also were generally 1aVoraDle put GOVernor PAllaln LOOK the position that the policy and rules a bank would be contravened either by the dis count of the finance bills as distinguished from commercial bills or in making foreign operation without the guarantee of a foreign government. As this guar antee was manifestly out of the question the negotiations were brought to an end at noon. The sum which it was sought to obtain was between s2O,0o0,0O0 and $40 O0o,000.
 l. P. Morgan, Jr., who managed the negotiations, left Paris for London i'm mediately after they were definitely broken off. He was not inclined to talk on the subject but before leaving this city said to the correspondent of the Associated Press: "The highest financial circles in Paris were very favorable, and there is general disappointment here that the Bank of France did not sec it's way clear to make the transaction"
 The effort to secure gold direct from Paris for New York having failed, it Is believed in competent circles that re- course will be had to another triangular operation through the Bank of England If the American demand for gold continues

STREET CAR MEN
 WILL WALK OUT
PROPOSITION FOR SETTLEMENT BY ARBITRATION IS TURNED DOWN BY EMPLoYEs AS TOO UNCERTAIN.

Louisville, November ii.-By vote which was finished at an early hour thls morning the local union of the Amalgam- ated Street Car Empioyes ratified their decision to go on strike against the Louis vile Railway company today. All ears will have stopped running by D o'clock this morning. The decision of the men to strike came within a few hours after 1t was supposed that the compromise taken by Mayor Grinstead had proven effective.
 Mayor Grinsteads proposition, however when examined, was rejected as too vague. He promised the men that if they would agree to defer to strike an- other five hours he would take steps to arrange another conference between the company officials and the citizens committee. They decided that this would only result in an uncertainty which has existed constantly since last April. At that time the men thought they had won a victory, but since then there have been repeated and increased charges that the company has continued to discriminate against union men and to break other articles of the agreement. The company employees HOO men, of whom the union leaders claim to control 9O0.

CANNOT
 FURNISH GOLD Negotiations Are Finally Broken
 Off In France MORGAN GIVES UP THE JOB Bank of France Proposed To Furnish Gold Direct, But Wanted Govern ment Guarantee, Which Could
 Not Be Obtained.
MORGAN GIVES UP THE JOB

New York, November 4.-Bor several days reports have been in circulation that certain banking interests in this city are engaged in negotiations for the pur- pose of securing a large amount of gold direct from the Bank of France. These reports also have intimated that certain political questions were involved in the negotiations partly with reference to some preferential tariff agreement. From authoritative sources 1t Is learned that the effort to secure French gold direct was made by the banking house of J. r. Morgan & Co.
 The Bank of France intimated its will lingness to send to this country s20ooo,0oo gold, but because of it's governmental character 1t desired some form of com initial from this government in so large a transaction. Communication with Wasf- ington was at once begun and stlll con- tinues in the effort to find some method by which the transaction can be com pleted.
