TAFT AND GOMPERS BURIED THE
 RATCHET
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 Washington, June S.-Presidents Taft and Gompers have buried the hatch ct. All the unkind things they said about each other during the late cam paign are forgiven, even if they are not entirely forgotten.
 As evidence that the. President of the United States does not feel un- kindly toward the president of the American Federation of Labor, he has provided Mir. Gompers with personal letters of introduction to the Ameri- can Ambassadors in the European countries which he will visit in his European labor conditions. Mr. Com pers took occasion to express his ap- preciation of this courtesy in an ad- dress at a dinner given in his honor. Incidentally the president of the Am erican Federation of Labor took a fling at Justice Gould on account of his injunction in the Bucks Stove & Range Case.
 The government can," he said ''when martial law prevails, prevent free speech, free assembly and free press. But it can establish such a condition only when the life of the Nation is endangered. Yet what the Nation cannot do except for the sake of saving it's life, Justice Gould would do in perpetuity for the sake of saw ing a stove.''
 President Gompers will sail for Liv- erpool, June 19, and his first recep- tion on British soil will be by the Un- ionists of Lancaster District.

Bacon to Succeed
 Ambassador White

. Paris. June S-Private advices re- ceived tere from Washington state that Robert Bacon, ex-Secretary of State, has accepted the AmbassadorShip to France and that he will succeed Henry White at the end of the year. MT. Bacon. when the post was first offered to him. declined to accept it. preferring that MT. White should be retained as Ambassador. but finding that Presi- dent Taft had resolved in any event to replace Ambassador White, finally agreed to accept the position.
 Rumors of MT Whites approaching retirement. which have been current here for months. cause genuine regret especially in official circles where he is particularly persona grata- and among the members of the American Chamber of Commerce. where it was felt that his experience would count for much in the difficult tariff negotiations between the two countries. which are consider ed inevitable. after the passage of the new American Tariff bill.

STILL TRYING TO UNEARTH
 THAT SMUGGLING PLOT
Especial from United Presso

Especial from United Press.) Washington, June S.-The relentless
 chase by special agents of the GUS
 toms service under the sharp goad of treasury officials. in an. effort to un-
 earth the gigantic smuggling plot at the port of New York, has led to the door of an employe in Paris of an inn tportant transatlantic steamship line It is understood that another chapter of sensational developments is about to be unfolded.
 Assistant Secretary Reynolds, in charge of the customs service, said that every energy is being directed to- ward getting to the bottom of the smuggling business. While Federal agents are not held responsible for goods pushed through the customs of ficials at New York without payment a close vigilance is being kept.
 It is said that the only cases of smuggling by the use of the cabin "sleeper-trunk' so far detected have so far been confined to the American liner Philadelphia and several ships of the Red Star line, both owned by the International Mercantile Marine Com pany. High officials of that company are assisting the government force in Investigating the cases.
 Treasury officials are under consid- eraible disadvantage in running down the smugglers inasmuch as they are not allowed to employ secret service.
