FRANCE SEEKS A
NEW AGREEMENT
Unless the United States Offers More
Liberal Tariff Rates, Duty on
Our Products VIII Be
Increased
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, March 5.--The United States
is likely soon to be confronted with the
necessity for tariff negotiations with
France. The special parliamentary
committee charged with the revision of
the schedules has decided to maintain
the maximum and minimum system,
with the former double the latter for
the purpose Of forcing concessions from
countries which, like the United States,
refuse to make reciprocity treaties.
Without awaiting the general tariff
revision measure, a bill to increase the
duties on cotton seed and other vege-
table oils, in whose production the
United States is greatly interested, was
called up in the chamber today. The
duty now is $1.20 per 1000 kilos. The bill
proposes a duty of $3.50 for countries
entitled to the minimum tariff and $5
for countries like the United States
without reciprocity treaties, and also
places the cotton seed OIL which is now
free, upon the dutiable list, at 30 cents
to 90 cents. Oils for industrial purposes
if denatured will be taxed at the old
rate.

SACRAMENTO, March Ex-Governor
Gillett approved the Willis bill today
legalizing certain municipal bonds
which will enable Los Angeles to issue
$23,O0O,00 for a new water system.
The Willis bill was fathered by the
officials in Los Angeles interested in
the Los Angeles aqueduct. Both City
Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt and Advis-
ory Counsel w. B. Mathews of Los
Angeles came up to introduce the
measure and push it along.
The bill was necessary in order to
clear away legal technicalities which
would have stood in the way of the
big bond issue.
The clauses were drawn up on the
suggestion of Dillon & Hubbard, the
New York bond experts. Advice from
this firm if followed results in better
market for bonds, and hence local
water board officials are rejoiced to
know of the passage of the measure.
1t is expected the special election
for the $23,000,000 issue of bonds will
be called at once. 1t is likely that next
Monday formal notice will be given by
the council by resolution that the ne
cessity for their issuance exists.

CHICAGO, March 5.-A coroner's jury
was unable today to determine whether
Webster Guerin, the artist who was
found dead in his studio last week,
came to his death from shot fired by
himself or by Mrs. Mcdonald, who was
in the studio at the time of the shoot
ing and is now under arrest charged
with killing Guerin.
The jury was out for over eight hours
and finally decided to return an open
verdict.
The case will now go to the grand
jury and the criminal court. After the
verdict Coroner Peter Hoffman said
Il am of the opinion that the verdict
will be approved in the criminal court.
In the evidence produced today at the
inquest there was nothing to show con-
clusively that Guerin was shot by the
woman, while there was testimony that
gave rise to a reasonable doubt and
this undoubtedly influenced the jury in
their decision"
