FRANCE TAKES FIRST STEP

Issues Decree Imposing Maximum Du-
ties on Coffee From the United
States and Porto Rico, a Serious
Eicw 30 Our Island Dependency.
Washington, April 1s.-Although
notice OF the issue in Paris of a decree
imposing the maximum duties on cot
fees imported from the United States
and Porto Rico has not yet reached
the state department the officials were
fully prepared for some such action,
having been informed In the course OF
the correspondence which has been
going on for the past six months that
it was contemplated. The reason for
the issue of the decree Is said to be
dissatisfaction of the French govera-
ment at the failure Of the United
States senate to act upon the French
reciprocity treaty which has been
pending before that body for several
years. Added to this, ii Is said, is a
suspicion on the part of the French
government that the negotiations o
in progress between the United States
aud Germany relative to the tariff
upon American goods imported into
Germany conceals some advantage to
be bestowed upon German trade with
the United States In which French
trade is NOT to share. This decree is
regarded as the beginning of a sys-
tematic effort to bring such pressure
to bear upon the American congress,
through the imposition Of restrictions
upon the American export trade, as
viii force the whole subject Of reel
procity upon its attention at the be-
ginning Of the next session. The state
department officials fear that this
French action is but the precursor OF
similar attacks upon American trade
by other nations OF Continental Eu-
rope. No serious damage is expected
to result to American trade from this
last decree because there is little traf-
ffc in coffee at any time, but 1t Is
feared that the effect will be disas~
trous to Porto Rico, which at present
finds almost it's only market In France
for it's coffee now that the Spanish
market Is closed by excessive duties.

RESOLUTIONS.

At meeting of the Board of Direct ors of the Security Insurance Company of New Haven. held october 16. 1907, the following resolutlons were adopteo.
 Herbert c. Fuller. the secretary and director of the Security Insurance com pany of New Haven. died october G 1907.
 He came into the service of the com pany when a boy, in 1877, and by his ability, his sterling integrity, and strict attention to the duties assigned him, soon gained the confidence of the of- ficers, and won advancement from time to time, being elected assistant secre- tary January Ia, 1881, secretary Janu- ary t4, 1904. and director May 12 1904.
 At all times the interests and welfare of this company were uppermost Tn his mind, and he had a large part in formulating the plans that have brought to 1t increased business, and it's nresent success. He was thoroughly cohversant with the principles of un- derwriting, and the wisdom he display. ed in his selections or asslstants to III various positions in the company's ser vice, gave evidence of discrtminat- ing judgment of men,. n
 His close attention to business with out sufficient healthful diversion, made him an easy prey to a nervous break- down soon after the shock of the San Francisco disaster, and all efforts to re- gain his health. which included trip abroad, failed.
 Though quite reserved. he had a low. able, loyal and sympathetic nature, and his associates deeply regret the loss of n friend and of most valuable of flcer of the company.
 As an expression of our sympathy for the mother of Mir. Fuller, the assistant secretary is directed to transmit to her a copy of this minute. and, fur ther to enter the same upon the rec

southwest which lies near the Mexi- can frontier; 1t tells a story of absorb ing interest and Is filled with situa- tions, both highly dramatic and of that intensity demanded by the lovers of this class of performance, The central figure is that of a young man forced to outlawry by his own father, yet there is an exceptionally well defined love interest and plenty of good com edy situations. The management is said to have been lavish in the pro- auction and general mountings of the play and to have surrounded the star with an exceptionally well balanced company of players. The plays tells a consistent story and one that is re- plete in interest. Lovers of melodra- matic plays in every city where this play has been presented have testi- fled their appreciation of MT. Sant- ley's work and play by crowding the theaters at every performance. Like all plays of this kind there are many types good and bad, but, as the locale of each of the four acts is in south western New Mexico, the authors have been careful in the drawing to retain the atmospheric conditions The love story Is especially interesting and the situations as strong as the most cap- tious could ask for. "Billy the Kid" with santley as the hero is to be pre- sented at the New Haven theater to- night, Friday and Saturday nights and at the matinee Saturday.

DANGER OF HOLY WAR.
Fears Felt That Moors Win Attack
 Christians,

Paris, Oct. 16.-Dispatches from Mo rocco to-day are distinctly disquieting. Mulai Hafd, sultan of the south, is represented as taking advantage of negotiations between Sultan Abd-el- Aziz and the French minister to ask the Moors to join in holy war against the Christians.
 It is reported that he is concentrat- ing 10000 troops south of Casablanca. The Moors in the south of Morocco are generally reported to be rallying around the banner of Mulai Hafid, all of which constitutes a great danger to Abd-el-Aziz, whose soldiers are desert- ing because they have not been paid for long time.
 In spite of this news the French gov. ernment is sanguine that Mulai Hafd will not attempt to attack the French forces.

AT THE LOCAL THEATERS.

Grace George, direct from New York and London triumphs, comes to the Hyperion theater, matinee and evening, Oct, 19, presenting the Margaret Mayo version of Sardou's "Divorcons." Miss George will appear in the part of the captivating and capricious Cyprienne, role to which she is said to be es- pecially adapted.
 "Divorcons" is a comedy in three acts and though it was written more than twenty-five years ago, so modern is the theme and so adequately has it been translated that the average theater- goer would think it product of to- day. 'Divoroons" might aptly be re- named, "She fell in love with her Illus band for that describes the plot of the comedy as well as anything could.

To be Officially Worn on the Rear
 Portion of Trousers.
 Providence, R. l., Oct. 16.-That the workingman will wear the union label on the back portion of his trousers, If a less prominent place cannot be found for it, was fact that was brought out at the late afternoon session of the seventh annual convention of the Unit ed Textile Workers of America in the labor temple to-day.
 The discussion arose over resolu- tion in which the convention was to favor the textile worker placing the union label on the goods which he made. One delegate thought, perhaps, it could not be done without the stamp showing up on the front of coat or elsewhere. At this point John Kyle of Fall River spoke. His short but di- rect speech was greeted with cheers. The assembly at once adopted the res- Qlution.

 There is no thoughtful woman in America" said Mrs. Stevenson. 'swho has not been more than startled by the appeal for larger families.

 "The question should not be how many children, but their condition and what kind of citizens they will make.
