WOMEN MUST NOT SMOKE.
New York City Fathers to Pass a Pro-
 hibftfve Ordinance.


 hibitive Ordinance.
 New York. Jan. 6.-Women who are fond of an after dinner cigarette have secured freedom to indulge in 1t at certain Broadway restaurants only to lose 1t again, according to the fathers of an ordinance which will be intro duced at the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen.
 On New Years eve. one of the big Broadway restaurants took down the bars to women smokers and two or three of the others immediately fol- lowed suit. But the indulgence in a habit which has long been recognized in Europe. does not meet the approval of certain of the city fathers, and as a result an attempt wal be made to put an end to it before 1t has hardly be- gun.
 The ordinance will provide for a fine or imprisonment for the proprietor of any hotel. restaurant or other place of public gathering who allows a woman to smoke. even little Rold-tIpped ci- Earette in his establishment. The packers of the ordinaM' et,I,it that the Court of Appeals would probably de- clare such an ordinance invalid, but they depend on public opinion and the objection of restaurant proprietors to the expense and trouble of fighting the ordinance through the courts for it's enforcement.

FORMER CHEMIST INDICTED

Washington. Jan. 6.-Allegations of fraud and graft in suoplving the Bu- reau of Engraving and Printing with black dry color. used in the manufac- ture of ink. resulted today in. the ln- dictment by the Federal grand jury of Edwin Van Duck formerly chemist and ink maker employed in the Bureau, and Victor F. Bloede. President of the Victor P. Bloede Company of Balti- more. manufacturers of the dry color.
 Van Dyck and Bloede are charged in the indictment with conspiracy to defraud the Government. the allega- ton being that they entered into an agreement by which Bloede was to pay Van Dyck a percentage of the money received from the Government for the black dry color furnished to the Bureau of Engraving and printing. Van Dyck. 1t is alleged in his position as chemist and ink maker of the Bu- reau. fraudulentlv favored the Balti- more Company and that he was paid by Bloede ;n the course of several years between s7o.oo0 and s75.OOO.
 Bloede was to cause his company each year. 1t Is alleged. to submit bids to the Bureau of Engraving and Print ing to furnish hard black for the next ensuing fiscal year. When samples were submitted. they would be referred to Van Dyck as chemist and ink maker for practical test.
 It Is charged that pursuant to this conspiracy, the Bloede Company sub mitted several bids each year from the spring of 1901 until 1905.
 The rating of one hundred was given the Bloede sample every year except one. when it was rated at SS, the high est mark given that year.
 The indictment also charges that the contracts were each year awarded to the Bloede Company and that that company, from July 1. 1901. to July I, 1908. furnished to the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. the hard black used there. which averaged about 225.000 pounds a year at the rate Of 4E cents a pound ssssgt'.ets.
 Attorneys for both Van Dyck and Bloede apDeared before Justice Stafford today and agreed to t10000 bail. The attorneys asserted that the indictments were of technical nature and that the alleged fraud did not involve neces- sarily loss to the Government. They claimed that the Bureau received the best color obtainable at price 10 cents per pound less than 1t had paid prior to the letting of contracts to the Bloede Company.

 Justice Bowling announced that un- til further notice there would be three court sessions each day.
 He also announced that the jury would be locked up throughout the trial.
 As to the plea of insanity, MT. Je- rome explained to each of the proposed jurors in turn that a person is excused from criminal liability in this State only upon proof that he was at the time of the deed suffering from such a defect in reason as not to know the na- ture or quality of his act or that the act was wrong. He also questioned each talesman closely as to any opiu- ion held or any conscientious scruple entertained against capital punishment.
 Charles E. Gremmels ship broker. was called for examination just before the close of the morning session. He said he had certain scruples against capital punishment but if sworn as +a juror he felt he could lay 1t aside and vote for a conviction if the evidence seemed to warrant 1t. MT. Gremmels was finally accepted and took his place in the foreman's chair.
 After Grummels's acceptance the luncheon recess was ordered.
 Afternoon Session.

He insisted that by hearing the witnesses himself. he could render a fair verdict. Mir. Littleton rather reluctantly passed the juror and he took his place in turv chair No. 4.
 The examination of talesmen Jagged during the late afternoon. A long line of prospective jurors disoualified them selves after examination.

WAR IS NOT DESIRED
FRANCE IS CONSIDERABLY ExER-
 CIsED OVER FALSE REPORTS,
That Government Wishes It Known That It Is a Friend to Both Japan and the United
 afmAAa

Paris, Jan. 6--The French Govern ment is considerably exercised over the representation cabled to some Amer ican newspapers last week in which it reDorted as seeratly desirous of war between Japan and the United States and the destruction of the Amer lean fleet with the ultimate object If witnessing the internationalization of the Panama Canal.
 The Associated Press was author ized today to declare that nothing couId he farther from the truth. France is the sincere friend of both countries and she Is extremely desirous of seeing the present difficulties settled amicabiv Tt was for this reason that France. as long ago as last spring. made an un- official tender of her good offices in case she could be of service.
 You can say, moreover" the fn- formant of the Associated Press went on. that France is. entirely optim- tstic regarding the Outcome. It seems to us that in the settlement of the i'm migration question the fact that Great Britain, Japan's ally, has the same prob- lem to solve. should make it easier Tor America to effect a satisfactory ad tustment, especially if America and Great Britain act in unison along par allel lines.
 On the other hand, a growing ner- vousness regarding the outcome is to be seen fin diplomatic circles here. A representative of one of the great DOW CTS said in this connection:
 While l am optimistic regarding the immigration question, unless there should be recurrence of the unfort unate attacks upon Japanese in Cal ifornia, am distinctly pessimistic concerning the settlement of the ulti mate issue, that of commercial su- premacy in the Pacific America standa for the open door; she has stood quiet ly by while Japan proceeded to mon. opolize Korea and Manchuria. When she seeks to enter China. as she will, America must either call a halt or abandon the doctrine of the open door which has been the keystone of her policy in the Far East.

VESSEL IS SIGHTED

St. John, N. B.. Jan. 6.--Hope for the safety of the Canadian Pacific steamer Mount Royal, long overdue at this port from Antwerp, which had been generally waning as day after day went by without the receipt of intelli- gence, was revived tonight by a cable despatch from the Liverpool manager to the head officials of the line, an- nouncing that a steamer resembling the missing vessel had been reported 250 miles west of Fastnet Light. south west of Ireland.
 The Canadian Pacific officials feel certain that the steamer sighted is the Mount Royal.
 The despatch regarding the probable safety of the Mount Royal Is from the Liverpool offices of the Canadian Pa cihc Steamship Lines. It follows:
 "A steamer resembling the Mount Royal has been reported in a position 250 miles west of Fastnet Light, south west corner of Ireland. The steamer Lake Manitoba, which has been held in readiness at Liverpool for the past ten days was immediately despatched to the assistance of the Mount Royal"
 The Mount Royal is now thirty days out from Antwerp bound for St. John, N. B.. and the anxiety for her safety is greatly relieved by this news from Liverpool.
 The Mount Royal left Antwerp on December for St. John. N. s. She carries three hundred and four imni- grants and a large cargo. She Is not fast steamer but never before has occupied more than nineteen days in the passage. Fears for her safety have been felt for several days.
