FRANCE PLANS
A TARIFF WAR
Serves Notice Of Her 1ntension
to Assess the Maximum
Rates

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Government
officials here are not disposed to re-
gard the action of France in deciding
to assess the maximum rate of duty
against all imports from the United
States as an evidence of her intention
to enter into a tariff war with this
government.
On August President Taft gave
formal notice to France, Switzerland
and Bulgary that our commercial
agreements with them would be ter
minated on October 81 of this year.
Other governments were notified that
our commercial agreemnets with those
countries would terminate on certain
other specified dates.
About the middle of last month the
secretary of state received from Con-
sui General Mason at Paris, the text
of the announcement by the French
government of the abrogation of our
commercial agreement with that
country and since that time there has
been no expectation here other than
that beginning on November 1. Ameri-
can exports. to Frame would be taxed
at its. maximum r;fs6s. as from that
date the expectations Of France to
the United States will likewise pay
our full schedule rates. These rates
will be continued until March 81, 1910,
when the new maximum and minimum
features of the act will go into effect.

swindlers which has for the last tif-

people in America, has resumed ac-
tivity. Within the last few days let
ters have been received in Washing

will put up a small amount of cash
to rescue the unfortunate young
woman. In one case the alleged
writer of the letter was a Spanish
banker who had embezzled the bank s
hoard and escaped to Russia. only to
be arrested and returned to SPAIN
He. however, had taken the precaution
to secret the document in a portman-
teau, and this fund he would divide
with the American who would take
charge of his young daughter and
recover the property at the place he
would indicate for a present financial
consideration. 1t is known to the

birmingham. Mass, Oct 90
Propped up on pillows in his bed at

amounting to $4,000 and waving the
reading of the complaint. was held in

Lombard, who has been ill for sew
eral weeks, was unable to go to the

court was held in his own bedroom.
Earlier in the day in Boston the
two Boston brokers arrested yester-
day in connection with the case,
Charles S. Cummings and Edward A.
Mead. were held in $4,000 and $4,000
bonds respectively for the Suffolk
county grand jury on a charge of
larceny. The total outstanding securi-

far brought to light is $125,00O.
Whether the holders of these notes
can recover. their money from the
town is question which will prob
ably go before the courts.

Possibilities of Blasting Much

in Sight

Washington. Oct. pa new ex-
plosive, the invention of Britisher.
which possesses possibilities. it is
said, of revolutionizing blasting work
in connection with the construction
of the Panama canal. has been tested
on the Isthmus of Panama. and as a
result the Panama canal commission
has ordered twenty tons of it for trial.
The report on the new invention,
which is claimed to be absolutely safe,
has just been made by Vice Consul
General Claude E. Guayant of Pana-
ma. In the few charges that were set
off, the explosive showed itself more
powerful than dynamite. The new
substance can only be set off by heat
ing small platinum wire just inside
the open end and by an electric spark
or fuse. The cost of manufacture, it
is said. will be more than $50 a ton
cheaper than dynamite.

NO DEMAND FOR
CARRIAGES NOW
Use of Automobiles is Putting
the Carriage Manufacturers
Out Of Business

Washington, Oct. 2o.-Automobiles
have displaced carriages to such an
extent that carriage builders either
will be obliged to retire from business
or devote their attention to the con-
struction of automobile bodies.
In effect this was the statement
made today by Maurice Connolly of
Dubuque, Iowa, president of the Car
riage Builders National Association
of the United States, which convened
in its thirty-seventh annual meeting
in this city.
Another serious situation for the
manufacturers of carriages was pre-
sented by William l.. Hall assistant
forester of the agricultural depart
ment. He warned the association that
the supply of hard Aood from which
the bodies of both carriages and auto
mobiles are constructed was diminish
ing rapidly. and that in twenty years
it practically would be exhausted. He
suggested that the association CO.
operate with national and state gov
ernments to conserve the present sup
ply of hardwood and to. prevent the
waste of this most valuable Of forest
products.
