DISCUSSED FOREIGN POLITICS
French Army Officer Placed on the
Retired List.

Paris, Oct. 1 General A. G..
d'Amade, having acknowledged both
orally and by telegraph the substan-
tial authority of the interview pub
lished Oct. 7, in which he declared
the time had arrived for France to
call a halt on SPANS penetration of
Morocco, War Minister Brun has
placed him on the retired list.
This action was taken after a meet
ing of the cabinet at which it was
unanimously decided to be improper
for an officer of the army to express
his opinions on foreign politics. It is
understood that Foreign Minister
Pichon told the cabinet he would re-
sign unless General d'Amade was
punished.

publican Fusion Convention and an
Energetic Effort Will Be Made to
Defeat Tammany Hall Men.
New York, Oct. 1: .-William R.
Hearsts entry into the contest for
mayor of Greater New York is at
tracing widespread attention and
marks the opening Of what is expect
ed to be stirring, hard fought cam
paign. The main issue, as defined by
Mr.. Hearst, is whether the control of
the city government by Tammany
Hall is to be maintained or over
thrown.
Ahe Civic alliance, under whose
auspices Mr.. Hearst will run, has be-
gun the circulation of petitions for
the nomination of Mr.. Hearst on an
independent ticket. The acquisition
of the required number of signatures
will be an easy task. J.,
Anti-Tammany men say that even
A. uoCANC V1l11dm UdyuOT, Lu0
Democratic nominee, is elected they
will accomplish the real practical de-
feat of Tammany if they put in office
the nominees on either the Repub-
lfcan or the Civic alliance lists below
the head of the ticket. A Tammany
mayor, they say, would be nearly
poWer1ess without control of the vari-
GUS boards operating the city govern.
ment. At the same time they point
to Judge Gaynors recent refusal to
accept responsibility for the minor
candidates on the ticket with him as
evidence that If elected without his
associates on the ticket he will refuse
to stand as a Tammany mayor.
For these reasons unusual attention
Is being concentrated on the minor
nominees. There is little doubt that
Mr.. Hearst's ticket will contain near
ly all, if not ALL of the candidates for
the city Offices below that of mayor
already nominated by the Republican
fusion convention.

ENTERTAIN HIM UPON ARRlv-

North Yakami, Wash, Sept. 29.-Ar-
irving here at o'clock this morning,
President Taft slept until o'clock,
when he breakfasted in his car with
Governor Hay and U. s. Senator Jones
of Washington. Later he was driven
through the famous apple orchards Of
this section. After an informal ad-
dress and luncheon with the leading
citizens, he left for Seattle at 1:45
o'clock. President Taft spoke on the
impressive homogenity of the Ameri-
can people and told how this fact was
impressed upon him in Washington
during the tariff fight. He said:
"The attitude of the people through
out the country Is exactly similar to-
ward those questions which affect
them in the same way. In Indignation
of the gentlemen of the range states
with reference to free hides, we have
their counterpart in North Carolina,
where they are distinctly in favor of
a So rate on lumber, not as a protec-
tive tariff, of course, with mock
gfavity,) but that the revenues OF thn
government may be maintained
American nature Is the same and is
affected In the same way, not only by
mercantile considerations, but also by
higher sentiments and by looking at
the country at large and her interests
in the same way"
The president will be the guest of
Secretary Ballinger at Seattle to-
night.

COLORADO WOMEN MAY
RUN FOR CONGRESS

Denver, Colo, Sept. 29.-Women as
opposing candidates for congress now
is the outlook in the First district of
Colorado, which includes Denver.
The agitation for woman con-
gressman from Colorado started sew
eral months ago with the announce
meat that Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker,
pi lde1t OF the National Federation
of Woman's clubs, was willing to
make the race. She is a democrat.
The sentiment for her nomination
grew fast. To offset the movement
for Mrs. Decker, the Woman's State
Republican club, meeting in Denver,
indorsed Mrs. Dewey G.
Bailey, president of the Denver Wo-
mans club and wife of the United
States marshal of Colorado, as can
didate for the republican nomination
from the first district.
A short time ago it was believed
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt, daughter
of w. ]. Bryan, would make a race
for the nomination, but many think,
since her recent Chicago interview at
tacking suffrage, she may no longer
be seeking the place.

CHICAGO TO BE Scene OF
Big ANTI-SALOON FIGHT

To the great surprise of representa-

iticians, and to Chicago in general, Mr..
Hill announced that all preparations
are made for initiating the Chicago
anti-saloon campaign next Friday. He
said the necessary petitions will be
placed in the hands of hundreds of
trusted lieutenants of the no-license
committee upon that date. The anti.
saloon forces have until the first week
IN February to obtain the sixty.odd
thousand names which are necessary,
to secure the automatic submission of
the question by the board OF election
commissioners at the April election.
There is not the slightest doubt in
the world concerning the ability to
get the necessary number of sigma
tures," said Mr.. Hill. 'In 1908 I'VE
needed $4,000 names to get the propo-
sition on the ballot. We secured So
900 in three weeks. We need 10000
now and have four months to do the
work.

his ability as a real estate agent, as
he bought this latter property a few

neat little profit.
In addition to these holdings he IS

critics which can be sold within few

however, which is located on the top
of one of the mountains south of the
city, may not be disposed of so easily.
Reyes is said to have resigned. That

his loyal subjects, the deputies of the
