THE FRENCH MAXIMUM
 EFFECTIVE 1T ONCE
FOLLOWING EXPIRATION OF THE
 TRADE TREATY.
Extent to Which Retaliation Shall Go
 On This Side Undecided.

Washington. Nov. 1.-F'rance's Ro- land for Americas Oliver is the action of the Paris government in putting into effect today its maximum tariff against goods coming from the United States. It did not surprise the treas ury officials.
 Ever since notice was given to Paris that the reciprocity agreement with its low rates on both sides of the Atlantic so far as the two gov ernments were concerned would ex- pire at the end of October. this coun- try has been anticipating the step talk en at Paris today. This government cannot directly meet the French maxi mum until next spring. but the ques- ton of what to do has been can- vassed.
 Sparkling wines seem to be the most vulnerable point for attack officials here do not assume that this is the beginning of a tariff war of itself. A jump of from s6 to s9.60 per dozen in the duty on champagne, which is what a restoration of the regular tar if rates means at United States ports, and unofficial talk of a prospective substantial raising of that figure to the American maximum when the op- portunity comes on March Sl next, have not helped French sentiment to- ward the United States.
 It was hardly to be expected. as the treasury officials view it, that France would figuratively "sit idly bv." M. Cruppi, former French min ister of commerce, not long ago point ed out that France must consider ncr own interests and that commerclal development is of primary importance and he. referred to the United States in her splendid isolation as snap ming her fingers at the world.
 Meantime. it has been reported that tho nreseryative in French wines ,igbt proye available for retaliation because it makes possible their inclu- sion within articles declared injurious in the purview of the pure loou anu drugs law. Official inquiry along this line has not assumed any deiihi'e shape. ...
 ..The proclamation of a tarift war would be monstrous, declared AIT bassado- Jusse-.nd of France, snortiy after his arrival in Paris less tnaii three months ago. He conferred "i'' his government and expressed con viction that the maximum rates "ouio not be applied to French iihpo..1 Later he returned to America sun hopeful of some satisfactory arrange ment. 4
 The subject will engage the atteh tion of the new board appointed os the president to advise with nm pa, and ticuiarly regarding the maximum anu minimum features of the new tar,ii law. officials on both sides are iooh- ing forward to an eventual cohciusi'' of some amicable arrangement

I'LL OVER NOW
 BUT THE VOTING
THE END OF THE SAN FRANCIS.
 co CAMPAIGN
The Three Angles of An Exceedingly
 Bitter Fight =

San Francisco. Nov. Ion the eve of the first municipal election under the new direct primary law. San
 Francisco is keyed to a high pitch of expectancy, awaiting the outcome of tomorrow's battle at the polls. Three rivals in the triangular mayoralty fight finished their campaign tonight, each with a strenuous round of mass meetings and street gatherings. Au- tomobilss bearing the parties respec- tive candidates were everywhere in evidence on the streets tonight fly ing from one part of the city to another at a speed which infringed upon the municipal regulations
 The struggle is of such complicated nature. the issues so involved and the scratches and blots are certain to
 be so numerous that voting machines will not be used and the result can not be known for many hours after
 the polls close. Elaborate prepara- tions for rapid counting has been
 made. but it will not obviate the
 delay
 Heading the republican hosts is William Crocker the party's nominee for mayor Dr. T. w. B.-Leland. for three terms coroner of city and coun- ty. has been placed before the peo-
 pie for that office by the democrats and independence and good govern ment leagues, while P H. Mccarthy
 leads the union labor ticket. Second in importance is the con-
 test for the office of district attorney. Chas NJ Fickert is the direct nom
 inee of the republican and union labor parties. while Francis J. Heney,
 present assistant district attorney is officially endorsed by the democrats.
 the Heney league and the Independ- ence league.
 There was no truce tonight in the exchange of personalities between the candidates and the campaign up to it's last moment was waged with the
 bitterness that marked it from the start Each candidate dwelt in his last speech upon his certainty of suc- cess at the polls and the managers were equally ready with estimates giving their respective nominees large majorities. Every municipal office is to be filled at this election, but the fight has been waged over the mayor and district attorney. the nominees for the lesser offices receiving but small slasre of public attention.

ASSASSIN OF ITO
 PROBABLY AN EDITOR
The Opinion of Former American Ad-
 visor of the Prince.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. Prof. George Trumbull Ladd of this city. for a time confidential advisor to the late Prince Ito. in a statement today on the facts leading up to the assassination of the prince. pointed out that the as- sassin is probably the sub-editor of one of the native editions of the Ko- req Daily News. published at Seoul, which was suppressed.
 Prof. Ladd said that recent news from Seoul reported a plan on the part of certain Korean literati to assassin ate Homer B. Hubert. and that men had been hired for that purpose. The ground of revenge on Hubert is the charge that he persuaded the Korean emperor to dispatch an embassy to The Hague, and in so doing, became in the eyes bof the literati the -arch enemy of Korea" These latter facts. Prof. Ladd said, would explain how it is that certain parties. in Seoul expect the assassination to bring about for eign intervention, especially from the United States.

IT SHOCKED
 DELEGATES When The Lobbyist Plan Was at First Proposed THEY QUICKLY RECOVERED
Five Hundred Agents Are to Be Sent to Congress to Labor for Legislation in Behalf of Deep Water ways Program

New Orleans. Nov. 1.-Adopting President Tafts suggestion that the time for oratory was past, the Lakes to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways conven- tion tonight decided to send 500 lob byists to Washington to demand that congress deepen the Mississippi river. A resolution to that effect, offered by David R. Francis of Missouri. was adopted. There was silence for a mo- ment after the resolution was read. The lobby idea apparently shocked many delegates for the moment. Then somebody turned loose an old fash toned rebel yell and the resolution was adopted with whoop. In the confu- sion it is doubtful if ten delegates knew that the regular report of the resolutions committee had been adopt ed.
 The resolution declared that the fed eraI government should enter upon a definite policy and plan for waterways development, beginning with the i'm provement of the Mississippi and Illi- nois rivers as the main trunk of a great waterways system The issuance of popular bonds of small denomina- tions was urged upon congress as means of paying for the great under taking
 Representative D. E. McKinlay of California was one of the speakers of the afternoon session. He made a spirited argument on the necessity of improving the inland waterways. He came as a doubter. he said. but was now converted to the cause.
 Incident to the Lakes to- the-Gulf Deep Waterways congress, the South ern Conservation congress held ses- sion this afternoon and tonight. The feature was an address by Clifford Pinchot. chief forester. Governor San ders of Louisiana. in response to whose call the delegates gathered, de- clared the great questions for settle ment in the future to be economic and not political.
 Congressman Ransdell, president of the National Rivers and Harbors con gross. and R. N. Baker. president of the National Conservation congress, also spoke. At the night session, pre- sided over by Mir. Pinchot. many brief speeches were made In discussing the question. What is conservation doing for my state?"

NO FUSS OR FEATHERS

Sacramento. Nov. 1.-Without pomp or ceremony, the last spike joining the final span in the Western Pacific railroad from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. which in the Utah capital will connect with the Denver & Rio Grande. establishing a complete trans continental system for the Gould in- terests, was driven at o'clock this afternoon. As the last rails were connected at Spanish Creek bridge. across Feather river. on the North Fork division, the members of the two construction gangs which have been working toward one another for many months. silently joined hands, and the Western Pacific was an accom- plished fact.
 Within two or three weeks. accord ing to an announcement made by the Sacramento officials tonight. freight trains will be operated. but the actual completion of the new line will not be formally celebrated until January 1. 1910 A temporary schedule will then be inaugurated and by next spring the new trans-continental sys- tenn may be expected to be operation

PEARY RECOGNIZED
 AS POLE DlsCOVERtR
By the Experts of the National Geo.
 graphical Society.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Peary practi- cally was indorsed as the discoverer of the north pole by the National Geo. graphical Society today. Everything indicates that Pearys personal state ment before the sub committee of the society today convinced its members that he had set foot on the top of the world. The explorer has been invited to deliver the first of his public lec- lures before the society here on Nov. F. and it was pointed out tonight that had the proofs been open to the slight est question he never would have been asked to appear.
 It was announced at the home of Rear Admiral C. H. Chester. retired, that a public statement of the find ings of the society probably would be forthcoming on Wednesday. This ra- pidity in determining the genuineness of Peary's claim is taken to mean that there is no difference among the three experts who are delving into his arctic data.

CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN
All Sides Pretend Conf dence in the Result to Be Shown By Ballots To- night-Belated Hope of Independence Candidate

New York. Nov. New York's tri- angular political campaign ended to- night. William J. Gayner. the demo- cratic candidate for mayor, made his final speech in Harlem. Otto T. Ban- hard. the republican and fusion candi- date. closed his campaign with a noon- day address on the water front and a short talk to negro voters at a downtown Baptist church in the even- ing William R. Hearst, independent. closed his formal speech making last night at Madison Square Garden. but some lesser lights burned red fire and endorsed his case with final bursts of oratory in open-air meetings.
 In each rival camp confidence of the result was expressed. Charles F. Murphy. Tammany leader. said: Gay nor will receive more votes than both the other candidates. for mayor. and he will carry the whole democratic ticket in every borough"
 Herbert Parsons. the republican leader. said; "Our fight against Tam many misrule has won. Reports from every assembly district show that Barnard will be elected by 0.O00 pIu- rality. The entire fusion ticket will go through"
 Charles H. Gehring. for the Hearst forces. Said: Hearst will get more than 100000 votes, winning by 1O0.- GOO plurality over the Tammany can didate. I look for a landslide to Hearst
 All three sides were agreed that about 600.000 votes would be cast, out of a total registration of 644,5OO About s125.000 was wagered on the result of the mayoralty contest in New York today. In the financial dis trict the prevailing odds favored Gay nor by about to 1.
 Hearst and Barnard conducted their campaigns largely along similar lines. both making pleas for the defeat of Tammany. Hearst entered the cam paign at the last moment as a pas sive candidate to assist the ticket be- low him. but as the campaign pro- gressed he began attacking Barnard as well as Gaynor. with the apparent hope of election. Barnard avoided personalities and adhered to a dis cussion of business issues.
 Gaynor has made the campaign without a manager and without of ficial headquarters. While endorsed by Tammany. he declared he would be dictated to by no boss and he made personal liberty and the abolition of police czarism his chief topics.

DESCRIPTION

In the erection of these houses signal tri-
umph has been achieved and a notable ad
vance made in the methods of modern home
building In the matter of solidity of con-
struction and elegance of finish they have
never been surpassed, while in point of exclu-
siveness and individuality they stand unique
among Washington homes.
The builder has successfully accomplished
his determination to produce homes that would
show marked departure from the n1onotony
that has marred the beauty of SO many of the
city's best streets. You will find here pleas
ing diversity of architectural styles, each house
presenting characteristic differences in per-
spective, design and ornamentation.
The casual observer will at once be inn
pressed by their elegance and dignity-by their
tone and character-by their perfect adapta-
ton to the needs and requirements of people
of taste and refinement and, most important
of ALL by the superiority of their construction
and their sterling worth You will note care
ful elimination of every commonplace idea and
the introduction of all the essential attributes
that make for comfort and luxury.
They contain TEN rooms and THREE
bathrooms Every room has direct light, am
pie ventilation and plenty of sunght-not
dark corner anywhere.
most effective and harmonious plan Of
decorative adornment has been adopted-rich
and elaborate, yet without the slightest sug-
gestion that would offend the most highly cul-
tivated taste. They are massively trimmed in
quartered oak and mahogany; soldly built oak
stairways and oak floors The woodwork,
mantes and fixtures were designed and manu-
factured to order, especially for these houses.

Il ne location OF tneSe splendid homes,
short distance north of the new Rock Creek
bridge, is one of pre-emnent desirabiIity and
attractiveness-a beautiful eminence Just off
Connecticut avenue, commanding grand views
of the picturesque environments and within
two squares of the National Park, with its fra
grant forests, silvery streams and delightful
driveways. Cathedral avenue is broad thor
oughfare leading from Connecticut avenue
westward through section made famous by
the stately individual homes of many promi-
nent citizens and where all the Improvements,
both present and prospective, are of the high
est and most exclusive character. Before its
possibilities were realized by others the
builder of these houses secured the CREAM
OF THE WOODLEY PARK SECTION at
a remarkably low price, and is consequently
in position to give early buyers the benefit
of his good fortune. His foresight supplies
your opportunity. Practically all the vacant
ground in the immediate vicinity will be sold
only in large lots and under restrictions which
require the erection of costly individual homes,
and every condition indicates wonderful in
