FRANCE TO
 HELP THE OLD Workmen's Pensions to Be Established. THE FRENCH BOGUS BARON Tragic Story of a French
 Swindler. Ry Means of Finger Prints on Cham pagne Bottle M. Bertiiion Caught Two surderers--Bernhard
 Hsda New auaraIl.

Paris, June 12.--The French Senate has reassembled and is preparing to discuss one of the most important bills which have been. sent up to it from the Lower House for some years. The bill in question is that which deals with workmen's pensions. The Cham- Der of Deputies passed Workmens' Pension Bill two years ago, but it fail- ed to take the precaution to indicate the necessary means of putting it into operation. The Senate regarded the bill as quite impracticable since the question of where the money was to come from had virtually been left un- solved. The Senate set to work to revise the original scheme, but 1t seems probable that. but for the re- cent hoofs of dangerous unrest among the working classes, who are com- planning that Parliament is neglecting their interests, the Second Chamber would have allowed the study of the measure in committee to drag on until the general elections.
 The Government rightly feels that such procrastination is imprudent, and that there is no time to be lost if the Radical Party is to return to the elec- tors with anything tangible to show for four years of parliamentary work. The Prime Minister announced only three days ago in the Chamber of Dep- E program before the close of the present legislative period. A workmens' Pen- sions Bill would be for him and for his party an asset far more acceptable than an income tax measure. This amounts for the fact that the Senate Committee should have finally decided to induce it's reporter, M Cuvinot. to such form that the Upper House may Immediately begin the discussion.
 The funds for old age pensions will be contributed by the employe, em- ployer. and the State. The contribu- tions of the employe. to which will be added the ''majorations' of the State. will be capitalized for the payment of pensions. while the contributions of the employers will, with the State sub- ventfon, be distributed immediately among the interested parties. The ob- ligatory annual contribution of the workman will amount to $1.20, and it is anticipated that additional optional contributions will raise 1t to an average of $1.s0. The employers annual con- tribution for each employe win amount to the same sum.
 Summarized, the results of these provisions are that every working man who has paid an annual contribution of $1.20 from the age of 15 to 65 will re- ceive a pension of $55.40 at the age of 65. If his yearly contribution is $1.S0, it will amount to sss; if $a.4O to $50. Further. those who benefit un- der the law of assistance" vii enjoy an increase of pension after the age of 70; the maximum annual pension will be $s6. The total expense of the measure for the Treasury Is estimated at $10,000.0 900 for the first year and at about $40.000,o00 for the eightieth.

 Strong language was used about the budget and the Government at the an- nuaI conference of the Licensed Vie tuallers' Defence League, which was held at Brighton this week.
 MT.

Taft said that if the proposals became law there were thousands of publicans through out the land who would be absolutely ruined The motion was carried.
 Speaking at the annual banquet, Sir John Brickwood urged that as soon as the budget became law the trade should raise the price to the consumer and so bring home to the man in the street that it was he who would have to bear the extra burden.
 Sir F. -Hartland.

It will lead to a vast amount of unemployment all over the country.

A Truth Well Stated.

Washington Post.
 A whole volume of sound sense is compressed into a few words by Pres ident Finley, of the Southern Railway in his address to the students of the University of North Carolina. Among other things he said:
 ''In whatever career the young man of the South may select, he will find opportunities at home among his own people. He will not find it necessary to go either to the North or to the West. As time goes on he will find these opportunities in increasing abun- dance; for the economic strength oi the South. already great, is constantly increasing.
 "The wealth of our section in nat ural resources Is being supplemented by increased financial strength, and Southern communities are becoming better able to finance their own enter prises and less dependent on outside capital.
 'The South needs every one of heI young men, and those who are faith ful to her she will bountifully reward.
 Great as has been the growth oi the South. that section is only at the beginning of it's career of development The South Is not oyererowded with population and can for many years yet furnish opportunities for all who earnestly seek them. Far sighted fnanciers, railroad men and otheI leaders of industry are almost unani- nous in predicting that the greatest development of the next two decades in this country will occur In the South.
