WHITE HOUSE PROTECTED
AGAINST FALSE ALARMS
New System Makes Investigation
Necessary Before Fire Depart
ment Is Sent For.

A new system of fire alarms will he in
stalled at the White House through
which it Is hoped that, as far as White
House false alarms are concerned, the
useless plungng of fire engines, hose
carts, hook and ladder companies and
other apparatus up Pennsylvania avenue
will be averted in the future.
Electrical Engineer Allen said, this
morning that the false alarm from the
White House a few days ago has not been
traced to satisfactory cause so far.
Whether the wires became crossed or
whether some one just pulled the box
to have a little fun. is still mystery.
The new system, as explained by Mr..
Allen, is as follows:
There will be one box which can be
rung to turn in an alarm at the fire en-
CINE houses. There will be several aux
iliary boxes" which can be pulled (or
pushed, whichever way the mechanism
works.. and which will ding an annun-
ciator bell at the desk of the man in
charge OF the portion of the building in
volved
The man at the desk will thereupon
make an Investigation. If he finds a fire
he will run to the one lone box and give
he alarm.
Previous to this new installation there
has been system whereby the branch
boxes in the various portions of the build
.ngs will turn in an alarm directly to the
fire engine department.

PARIS PAPER PROTESTS
MATIN CALLS FOR SUPPRESSION
OF WHITE SLAVE TRADE.
Declares Revelations of the Ameri-
can immigration Commission
Are q Disgrace to France.

PARIS, December 3O.-The Matin today
declares that the findings of the United
States immigration commission. which
placed France first among thte nations as
an exporter OF so-called white slave re-
cruits, constitute a national disgrace and
appeals to the government to begin imme-
diately negot atoms with Washington for
the supp esslon of the traffic.
The paper insists that France in reality
is the most decent country on the globe
and one where home life and virtue ar
most beautifully exempIified. yet abroad
and especially in America. scandalous
French literature is circulated and the
extent of the monst,ous white slave
trade has given her the reputation Of be-
.ng the center of d pravity. Paris. the

NO IMPORTANT CHANGES
IN JAPANESE AGREEMENT
Not Thought New Ambassador Will
Propose Radical Change in
immigration Regulation.

Although the officials of the State De-
partment admit that it is possible that
Baron Uchida, the new Japanese am
bassador. may suggest some verbal
changes in the Root-Takahira agreement
imposing certain restrictions on the i'm
migration of Japanese laborers to the
United States. they do not believe that
any effort will be made to change the
general purport of the agreement.
This view is based on statements, at
tributed to .aron Cchida. since his ar
rival here, to the effect that japan and
the United States are in complete accord
on all International issues. and that the
Japanese government itself has under
taken to prevent the immigration OF
Japanese laborers to the United States.
