Rhode Island Senator Explains
Intent of New Schedule
Between Countries

PARIS, Oct. 5.--A more optimistic
feeling prevails i'm government circles
today regarding the amicab1e adjust
ment of Franco American tariff rela-
tions under the new law. as a result of
the explanations furnished by Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island during his
talks last week with number of the
French ministers and other high Off
cials.
In the first place Aldrich disabused
the minds of the Frenchmen of the idea.
entertained here, that the termination
of the existing commercial agreement
between France and the United States.
months in advance of the agreements
with other countries. notably Germany,
was in any way intended as a discrimi-
nation against France, and secondly,
and more important, Senator Aldrich re-
lieved the anxiety in Paris concerning
the Interpretation of section of the
new law.
This section, the French believed. in
volved the automatic imposition of the
American maximum unless France af-
forded every minimum and every adj
ministrative concession in her tariff.
AS some Of the concessions had been
made after hard fought battles with
other countries in return for specific
advantages, the government, in spite of
its desire to avoid a tariff war, was
hostile to the granting of wholesale
concessions.
1t is understood Senator Aldrich ex-
pressed the opinion that section 2 gave
President Taft certain measure of
latitude. and that if France afforded
the minimum rate on articles in which
the United States was principally inter
ested Taft probably would consider
that America was not unduly discrimi-
mated against within the meaning OF
the act.
Senator Aldrich, who is now in Lon
dom Will return to Paris Thursday to
attend a dinner which Minister OF
Finance Gochery will give in honor OF
the senator and Ambassador White.

EEL GAMING REAL"
ON MISSION BELL
Painful Discovery Made by Mrs.
E. L. Baldwin, President of
California Club

CONSERVATION reigned amol the OF
fcers of the California club yesterday
when they made their final inspection
Of the Mission bell which they recently
placed with appropriate ceremonies in
front of the Mission Dolores to mark
the line of El Canine Real.
The historic name of this old road of
the padres has played a large part in
the restoration of the romantic features
of the early days of California and the
bells which are cast by a Los Angeles
firm and are placed along the road
from the southland to the north have
had ii inscribed on them.
When the officers of the club were
admiring the bell yesterday they saw
in bold bas relief Eel Canine Real.
The bell arrived from the south and
was inspected on the ground by Mrs
A P. Black, one Of the leading women
of the club. Mrs. Laura Bride Powers,
who is an enthusiast on early Califor-
nian history. saw to its being raised
aloft and firmly planted.
The bell was blessed by a Franciscan
father in his brown robe and sandaled
feet. Little Miss Marian Black un-
veiled it with the assistance of Con-
gressman James Knowland, who made
a
A platform was erected by the side of
the bell on which sat two score of lead
ing clubwomen. and a throng filed Do
lores street for two blocks. Yet no
one saw that it was Eel Canine Real
that they were honoring.
Mrs. r. L. Baldwin, president of the
California club made the painful dis
covery.
I'VE are going to communicate with
the firm that cast the bell.' said Mrs.
Baldwin. and made all the rest.
don't know whether the 60 or more
bells made for other parts of the state
are marked in that way, but even if
they will put up with it we will not.
Something must be done. 1 think
the letter will have to be filed down
and treated with some acid. We simply
will not have the bell marked in that
way. The name must be correct
So letters will go to the Los Angeles
firm demanding their reason for taking
liberties with the famous name and the
Spanish language.

COURT STENOGRAPHERS

The state must, according to the

HfNfY ADDRESSES
OCEAN VIEW Club
Candidate for the District Attor-
neyship Is Warmly Greeted
by the Voters
Graft Prosecutor Promises to
Press Charges Against Every
Man Under Indictment

Convincing argument was made by
Francis ]. Heney last night in ocean
View in support of his candidacy for
district attorney. He told an enthusi-
astic audience in VOLTS hall of the
fight that had been waged against the
grafters in this city and asserted that
he proposed to prosecute every man
that was under indictment.
Patrick Calhoun and those other
higher ups who corrupted the Off
cials of San Francisco were bitterly
arraigned by Heney, who said he did
not think the people were willing to
let the rich criminals pick out the
man to prosecute. themselves.
Il believe that the workin gmen have
the legal and moral right to organize
and L believe the businessman who re-
fuses to deal with organized labor as
a N organiza tion is so far behind the
age that he ought to go out of busi-
ness said Heney in touching upon
the fact that Calhoun was a hero
broken the carmen's union.
RUFF DEALINGS RECALLED
The dealings of Abe Ruef with the
corporations were discussed at length.
Heney told his hearers that Ruef first
got $500 month from the United
Railroads and later $1,000 month. He
also got $1,000 a month from the Pa
cific telephone and telegraph company
TO keep out opposition. Ruef got S20.-
900 for having his Doodle board of SUI
pervisors fix the gas rate at S5 cents
after a rate of IS cents was pledged.
This gave the company $500, 600 more a
year.
The interrelations of certain bankers
and the public service corporations
We're disclosed and the reason made ap-
parent for the opposition these bankers
are offering the prosecution.
Heney issued a challenge to Charles
NJ. Fickert, the republican nominee. to
meet him at any time and argue the
issues of the campaign. He promised
to make his opponent look like 80
cents.
When Heney asserted that he pro-
posed to prosecute every man under
Indictment man in the audience asked
in a hostile tone why Calhoun was run
ming around loose.
HAS READY RETORT
Because men like you swear them
selves on the jury retorted Heney. A
policemen started to check the man
from asking more questions. but Heney
said he welcomed such questions.
The meeting last night was called to
order by r. E. Baines. president of the
Heney club of the district. Charles
Rodney was presented as the chairman
of the evening. j. Owens, L. Cere
Chino and NJ. o. Hare were the vice
presidents. John III. Riordan and Ed
ward Berry made speeches before
Heney was presented.
