WELL ORGANIZED STRIKE.
All French Ports Are ParaIyzed BY
Walk Ont

Paris, May S1.--An admirably or
ganized universal strike by all branch
es of the ship workers of France has
paralyzed activity in the ports of the
republic.
Unlike an ordinary strike. this moves
ment Is not attended with bitterness
against the employees or revolutionary
feelings. The manifestations are made
to draw the attention of the country
to the strikers cause. The naval re-
servists claim In a manifesto issued
today that 1t is impossible for the Wild
ows of seamen to support themselves
and raise children on the pensions
granted by the Government.
The men are well behaved. and as
an instance Of the sentiments back OF
the strike. there is the fact that har-
Dor watches have been provided by the
strikers for all ships in port.
The Government, fully alive to the
Importance of the movement. has made
arrangements to assure the continu-
anee oft the maritime postal services
and the TRANSPORTATION of perishable
cargoes The Cabinet will hold a spe-
ciaI meeting tomorrow in an effort to
end the strike. as the leading steam
ship lines are much embarrassed and
have appealed to the Government to
take rapid steps to remove the cause
of a state OF affairs for which they
are in no way responsible.

PROSECUTIONS POLICY.
Heney Says Outside Wealth Has Been
Drought to Bear.

San Francisco, May SIN a state
ment issued at late hour last night
Assistant District Attorney Heney,
head of the graft prosecutions, out
lines the policy of the men who have
made possible the indictments of near
ly a score of San Francisco wealthy
capitalists, denounces as malicious
falsehoods the charges which have
been made that the prosecutors are in
fluenced by political motives and open
ly charges that some of the most pow
erful financial interests OF the country
have been brought into the battle on
the side of the alleged bride givers.
Heney declares that the greatest
crisis in the graft exposure is now at
hand and that the greatest crisis in
the history of San Francisco. goes side
by sido with 1t.
He charged that President Patrick
Calhoun of the United Railroads has
sought the aid of the wealthiest bank
ers and merchants of the city to free
him from the clutches of the prosecu-
ton and prevent his having to pay the
penalty for his alleged crimes.
A meeting was held short time ago,
he says, at which Calhoun called to-
gether a number of the heads OF the
sought their aid through a thinly veil
ed request for backing in the carrying
on of the car strike.
The powerful influences which he
set at work to injure the prosecution
Heney says. have been hampering the
prosecutors to a certain extent and
they have raised a sentiment of donbt
as to the real motives behind the in
vestiGation and he calls upon the citi-
zens of San Francisco to give their full
est assistance to the work that is still
to be done
Admitting that the sixteen confessed
bribe takers on the board of supervis-
ors has been promised immunity from
prosecution, Heney declares that this
step was essential to the carrying out
of the work at hand. He stated that
every effort to gain legal proof of cor
ruption and bribery deals failed until
the confessions were secured from the
supervisors. and that to secure these
the promise of immunity was Civ

Heney asks the pertinent question::
which is the man who should be
punished for the crime If one must be
allowed to go free-the confessed bride

declining birth rates in Europe and the

of infants for pure and above All ma

and statistics were cited showing tnat

The fourth point of the speaker re-
fers to the time when the child passes
