IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
Are Expected in France During the
Year Beginning Today.

Paris, Dec. 31-rhe writer's when re-
viewing the events of the year and in
dulge in forecasts Of the future. unite
in anticipating that in 1907 will witness
the most important developments in
the continuance of the struggle which
the Democracy is waging against the
old regime. The end of clericalism with
the separation of church and state, is
an accomplished fact and no longer an
ISSUE although echoes of this conflict
probably will be head for long time
to come. and the extreme Socialists are
anxious to press the war against cap
italism. Lead by NJ. Jaures, the aim of
the Socialists is distinctly the appro-
priation of property, but no one mag
ines that there will be a reign of pure
Socialism in France, at least before
many years.
The Clemenceau cabinet draws a
sharp line at what is attainablc. Pre-
micr Clemceau has abandoned many of
the old ideas for the regeneration Of
he formerly entertained and now stands
firmly for individualism.
The cabinet today stands committed
to supplement the weekly rest day law
and the employers liability law passed
in 1906 with an eight-hour labor law.
cid age pensions, the gradual purchase
CT railroads by tn" state and the trans
fer of the heaviest burdens Of taxation
upon the rich by the imposition Of in
come and inheritance taxes. and as
result even government bonds in which
French savings are largely invested.
are threatened.
The proposal to shift taxation to the
shoulders of the wealthy classes,
coupled with the great increase in tax
alton necessary to meet the cost OF
new legislation in the interests of the
working classes. such as old age pen
sions, has created much nervousness,
and in spite of the fact that French IL
nancial situation is exceptionally
strong, that the Bank Of France is
bursting with gold. and that all indus
tries are active, rents fell over three
points in 1906 and there is 2 steady mi
grafton of capital seeking foreign in
vestment. There is considerable money
going quietly into American securities
and many French families are sys-
tematically getting rid of their French
holdings and investing in income prop
critics in Switzerland and Belgium.
The abolition of the death penalty.
already an accomplished fact in practice
undoubtedly will be enacted into law
during the coming year, and the aboli-
ton of courtmartial, mutual corolary
of the Dreyfus case, also is part OF
the government program. The foreign
policy of France is regarded as having
been greatly strengthened by tne
events Of the past year.
General Picquart's energetic methods
have injected new life into the army,
and the dominant political elements
considered to be assured that period of
peace which they regard as necessary
for the realization Of social reform.
The only cloud on the horizon is pos
sible unfavorable development in Mo-
rocco. which may draw France into an
unfayorable campaign in Africa.

PROJECT NOT FAVORED.
international Waterways Commission
Secs Little Merit In Canal Pro ject.

Buffalo, n. Y. Dec. 31.-Sec. w. Ed
ward Wilson of the American section
of the international waterways COM
mission has recommended the second
progress report of the commission. Re-
ference is made to the pOaching dis
puteS that have arisen between Ameri-
can fishermen and the Canadian in
spectors owing to the lack of fixed
boundary line.
The international commission can
see little merit in the proposition
known as the Richelicu canal project.
The report concludes:
'As Lake Champlain is wholly with
in the territory of the United States
and the proposed regulating works are
wholly within Canadian territory the
international questions raised are of
some moment. 1t would be possible to
plan works adapted to the conditions
and in our opinions such works should
be permitted provided they do not in
terfcrc with private interests in the
United States or with the interests of
navigation"

San Francisco, CAL March t.
Mayor Eugene Schmitz appeared be-
fore Superior Judge Doane today and
pleaded not guilty to four indictments
charging him with eXtortion, BY an
agreement of counsel next Monday
was designated as the time when
a date for his tria! will be set Sue
cess was with the prosecution at al
most every turn in todays develop
ments in the Ruef cXtortion case The
most notable instance was in the dis
trict court Of appeals, where justices
Cooper, Hall and Kerrigan denied
Ruefs application for Il writ of pro-
hibition to restrain Judge Dunno from
any further proceedings against Ruef
In the superior court, pending the de-
termination of the accused mans ap-
peal to the supreme court of the
United States for permanent writ of
error, the effect of which, II granted
would be to summarily postpone the
entire prosecution,
While the attorneys for Ruef, who
is still in hiding, supposedly in or
near San Francisco, were hopefully
waiting the decision of the appeal
court, Judge Doanc proceeded with
the two cases of perjury and conspir-
aCy against Ruef and Chief of Police
Dinan. He was obdurate To the en-
deavors of Attorney Shortridge to win
delay for Ruef. Motions to strike the
case from the files and to set aside
the indictments were denied. and to
escape the imminent necessity Of
pleading at once, Ruefs counsel en-.
tered demurrer which had been pre-
viOusly prepared to meet this emer-
~ a tn h.t had ia fsfn1
the sheriff incompetent and was given
until tomorrow morning to make
good. Failing then, Judge Dunno
will probably appoint an elisor to
bring the fugitive into court.
Shortly before o'clock this even
ing counsel for Ruef made applica-
tion to the state supreme court for
identically the same writ of prohi-
tion refused earlier in the day by the
district court of appeals Pending the
determination of this move. it is the
purpose of Judge Dunno to go right
ahead with the case; and it is the in
tention of counsel for the defense not
to produce Ruef in Judge Dunne's
court while the matter thus stands.
The district court of appeals handed
down no written opinion in refusing
Ruef's application for a writ of pro-
hibitlon. but after the denial had been
entered, Justices Cooper Hall and
Kerrigan made the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
I'VE have denied the application be-
cause the writ of error did not lie in
Judge Hibbard's court and because
there was no ground for debate"
Assistant District Attorney Heney
interpreting this statement said to-
day:
I'VE are greatly exercised about the
disappearance of Ruef; he is not far
away. and If the coroner does not
bring him into court at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. | shall request the
court to appoint an elisor-not Mr.,
Burns, but some citizen who is not
pattisan. and yet man who will do
his duty. We shall get Ruef into
court"
