French Catholics Fighting Every Inch of Ground With the
 Minister of Education
WANTPUBLIC WORSHIP

Paris, Feb 15.-An agreement be- tween Education Minister Briand and the church authorities here on the form of the contracts for the lease of the churches of Paris to the parish priests will. If reached, only become legally binding on the projects of the various departments. While it is certain that 95 per cent of the mayors and municipal councils will accept the Paris form of contract, it cannot be legally constrained by the federal government, and the municipal coun- ell of Pons, department of the Char ente-Inferiure, of which ex-Premier Combes is president, has already de- cided to abide by the terms of the law of February 2, 1907, which places the Catholic churches at the disposal of the Catholic clergy with out the necessity of contract be- tween the mayors and the parish priests"
 The members of the household of the archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Richard, take exception to the idea that an agreement relating to the churches will in any sense constitute a solution of the religious issue. In this connection prelate who is close to the archbishop said:
 We wish primarily to save public worship from shipwreck and upon that point we are succeeding, but be- yond that the religious question has not advanced foot"

NEGRO DEPARTMENT STORE.
Architect Williams, a Negro, File.
 Plans for the Building.

New York, Feb 15.-E. R. Will Hams, negro architect. has filed plans for remodeling the abandoned grocery warehouse at the northeast corner of Eighth avenue. and Forty sixth street for department store to be operated for negroes by the Metro politan Mercantile Go, of which P. Sheridan Ball, negro, is president. The building is four stories, fronting fifty feet on the avenue and 125 feet on the street, with a twenty-five foot l. running north, and 1t stands on land owned by the Astor estate.
 Architect Williams has planned to add two stories to the structure, fit 1t with an elevator and make over the interior at an estimated cost of $30,- 900. It is to have two stories of large show windows.
 The Metropolitan Realty Co bought the building last last year and leased the land for term of years. The company is an organization of negro business men exclusively and already operates a negro department store in Savannah. Ga. an apartment house in Orange, N. J., a park of houses and building lots in Plainfield. N. J., and a savings bank in Savannah.
 President Ball has announced that it is planned to expend about $200,- 900 in stocking and equipping the building and to have it opened by May |.

PLACING BLAME
United States Steamboat Inspect ors Investigating Collision Be-
 tween Schooner and Steamer
REFUSED TO ASSIST

New London, Feb 15.-William D.. Withey and John Stewart, United Steamboat inspectors for the New London district, have completed their hearing on the cause of the collision between steamer Larchmout of the Joy line and schooner Harry Knowl- ton off Block Island on Monday night.
 Four members of the crew of the schooner were heard Thursday night; Captain Frank T. Haley. of Everett, Mass; Mate Frank Goyant, of St Johns, N. B., and Seamen Carl Vic tor Jonson of Sweden and Julius Boyersen of Norway. The testimony of officers and members of the crew. and surviving passengers of steamer Larchmont will probably be taken by the United States inspectors at Proyi- dence and New York. This will ob- yiate the necessity for bringing large number of witnesses here. The examination will. however. be con- ducted on questions formulated by the New London inspectors and tran scripts of the evidence taken will be lodged In the New London office. The New London inspectors will make the decision in the case.
 The purpose of the hearing is to as- certain if there was any negligence or on the part of officers of the Larchmont in connection with the collision. The inquiry has nothing to do with the members of the crew of the schooner, except as witnesses, the inspectors having jurisdiction oa- ly over steam vessels. It will probably be some time before the inspectors will be able to render finding in the case. They can take no action until the evidence secured in New York and Providence is at hand to be con sidered in connection with the mass of information secured here yester- day.
 The hearing Thursday developed no new facts, but served to substantlate the story told by Captain Haley soon after the wreck, the members of his crew corrobating all of his important statements especially those that while the schooner was held to her course after the steamer sighted the lights of the steamer changed from the green to safety to the red of dan ger and did not change again until the vessels collided, and also that an unknown steamer came within comparatively short distance of the disabled craft and then headed away 8Cain.

GROWING WISE
Tailors Advised 10 Drop the An- cient Ethics of Their Pro
 feSsion Not 10 Advertise
TRADE WAS SLIPPING

New York, Feb 15.-If the custom tailors of the country hope to hold their own against the makers of ready made clothing they must aban- don the ancient ethics of their pro- fession which forbid them to adver- tise in the public press; they must adopt present day methods and go in search of the customers whom they hay waited for in the past. This was the advice given several hundred merchant tailors at the closing ses- sion of three days of the Merchant Tailors' National exchange at the Hotel Astor yesterday by Hugh Ard leigh of this city. MT Ardleigh said the American tailor could come near CT to making gentleman than any other tailor in the world, and that if they did not cause that fact to be- come generally known they could blame no one but themselves. He advocated persistent, continuous and "gentlemanly" advertising in the newspapers throughout the country, and prophesied that If his advice is followed the American tailor soon will lead the clothes makers of all nations.
 One effect of the meeting in this city was to cement breach which has existed between the national ex- change and the merchant tailors' na- tional protective association for many, years. The president of the latter organization was a guest of the ex- change at the banquet last evening.

FIGHTING INCOME TAX.
Financial Interests of France Making
 a Determined Opposition.

Paris, Feb 15.-It Is increasingly evident that the financial interests intend to make a last-ditch fight against the proposed income tax measure and there are suspicious that they are trying to bring about the downfall of the cabinet in order to accomplish their purpose. The un- expectedly adverse vote in the sen- ate last night following the debate upon the supplementary separation
 bill, the rapid enactment of which
 was sought by the government. but which the senators by a vote of 168
 to 128 referred back to the commit- tee for further consideration, was in- spired more by opposition to the in- come tax than d!sapproval of the gov ernment's bill. which provides for
 the suppression of declarations of in- tentions to hold public meetings. The income tax bill, especially It's inqu!si- torial features, continues to be the subject of the most violent criticism. the press with the exception of the radical soc!alistic papers and the Eclair. boldly printing a series of articles instructing taxpayers how to evade the law. All the newspapers opposing the income tax are making much of the dissentions in the cabi- net, but in principle the income tax seems to have popular support and
 the present campaign to undermine the cabinet Is considered more likely to strengthen than to weaken the governments position in parliament.

LEADER OF DoUMA HERE.
Alexis Aladyin Will Tour the Country
 on Behalf of His CountrYmen.

New York, Feb 15.-Alexis Alad- yin. leader of the peasant party in the Russian douma, arrived her to- day on the steamer Majestic. MT Aladyin proposes to make tour of the country delivering lectures in the cause of freedom in his native land.
 He already has been invited to speak at Harvard and Yale. MT Aladyin said upon his arrival that he would not be at all astonished if the new douma is never organized. It is now too late to stop the progress of liberty in Russia" said he. "The liberal sentiment is so broadcast and general throughout Russia that it. will come to the front in spite of all government opposition. It's prog ress is assured"
 Although born a peasant. Aladyin studied at the University of Kazan, from which he was expelled voicing liberal opinions. He then organized trades unions in the vicinity of Ka- gan, for which he was arrested. He was sentenced to four years impris- onment to be followed by eight years exile in North Russia. He escaped to Germany, but returned when the czar's manifesto was issued. He was elected deputy to the douma and founded the peasant and labor party. He is its present leader, although prevented by the government from being nominated for the second dou- ma.
 MT Aladyin said that the condition of the poorer classes of Russia is ex- tremely desperate. He believes, he said, that more than million per- sons will die in that country during the next three months from starvav- tion.
 Mir Aladyin said that unless the constitutional rights demanded by the Russian people are Immediately granted there will be one of the greatest strikes the world has ever seen. The Russian navy will join in the revolt from the first, he declares, and they will be quickly followed by the army.

 10 $S,OOo
CASHED IN HONG KONG
Police of San Francisco and Oakland Looking For Woo Aug, American Born Chinaman Who Enal-
 neued inc Scheme.

San Francisco. Feb 15.-A private detective agency and the police de- partments of Oakland and San Fran- cisco are endeavoring to locate in China an American born Mongolian. Woo Ang by name, who recently raised a draft from $8 to $S,0OO, se- cured bill of exchange for the latter sum from an Oakland bank, sailed across the Pacific and cashed the draft in Hong Kong. The police thc- ory is that the Chinese worked with confederate named Woods. The job began in the state of Kentucky. where Woods bought a draft for S8 on the Hanover National bank of New York. The draft was transferred to Woo Ang from all appearances. Whether Woods or the Chinese did the raising is not known. But Woo cashed his bill of exchange in Hong Kong before the fraud was discovered and beyond the fact that he is in China the detectives have no clue to his whereabouts.

GROWTH WAS LARGE. American Goods Lead, Says an Inter. eating Recent Report.

Washington, Feb l0.-Ine en0r- nous growth in trade of American goods with non-contiguous territories in the last calendar year as contrast ed with the preceding one is shown in figures compiled by the bureau of statistics of the department of com merce and labor made public to-day. In value this commerce aggregated $..1, 100000. compared with less than $100.000,000 in 1904.
 Of this trade S59,000.000 in round numbers consisted of merchandise shipped to those territories and $72.- 100000 worth of merchandise re- ceived from them. In addition to this, there was received from the Alaskan territory over $1S,500,000 worth of gold. being its own produc- tion, and $6,500,000 of foreign gold, principally from the British territory adjacent.
 Of the S5s,000,O00 worth of mer- chandise sent to the non-contiguous territories about $22.00O,000 worth went to Porto Rico; $17.500,000 to AldShds VI s,OUV,VuV tO I1dWdii, anu S7,000.000 to the Philippines.
 These figures show how American shipments of merchandise have in- creased in 1906 as compared with 1904: Porto Rico from $12.000.000 to $22.000.000; Alaska from S11.- 500, 900 to $17.500,00O; Hawaii from 100000 to S12.500.000, and to the Philippine Islands from s5.000,- 900 to little over $7,000,000.
 Shipments of merchandise from territories to the United States during the same period have increased as follows:
 Hawaii $25.500. 900 to nearly ESQ., 900, 900; Porto Rico from S13,0O0.- 900; Alaska from S10.500.0O0 to 12,000.000, while in the case of the there Is shown a slight reduction.
 Of gold received from Alaska the total of domestic production was, in 1904. little over 3s,000.00O and in 1906 $1s.50o.000.

To pefraud Government.

London, Feb 15.-A gigantic scheme on the part of a firm of whis- ky distillers to defraud the revenue is reported to have been unearthed by inland revenue officers. The latter, it is asserted. discovered a system of underground pipes through which whisky was conveyed from the dis tiilery to the duty-paid war house. whence 1t was distributed to the trade. thus escaping the tax of S2.I5 per gallon. The revenue authorities are said to have demanded the pay ment of a fine of S3O.OOO on the smuggled liquor. The matter proba- bly will be brought up in parliament.

Suggests Publicity.

In an interview to-day he said: "The persons respon- sible for accidents. whether officers Or laborers. should be known to the public fin order that they may be made to feel the weight of popular displeasure- We must bring about a closer observance of the rules gov erning the operation of the railroads and a greater respect for danger sig nals than we now get from our en- ployes. This can be done only by the widest publicity of accidents"
