SAYS u. s. WILL INTERVENE
IN EUROPEAN QUARRELs

PARIS, Dec. 1s.-Former Minister of
Foreign Affairs Gabriel Hanotaux, in an
article appealing for public support of
the recently organized Franco-American
committee, designed to improve the eco
nomic and social relations of the two
countries, and of which he is president,
predicts that the United States, which
now holds the balance of power in the
Pacific, is destined some day to inter-
vene in the quarrels of the great nations
of Europe.
NJ Hanotaux, in part says: Every
clairvoyant European statesman now fore
sees the probability of American imperial
istic action. 1t is the constant pre-occu-
patton of Emperor William 80
The \ former minister argues that
Frances position in Europe Is analogous
20 that of America, and that it is virtu-
ally necessary that there should be no
possibility of a Misunderstanding in the
future, recalling that during his own
ministry, at the time of the Spanish
American war, France was driven almost
to a rupture over an Insignificant block

PRESIDENT PRESIDES
AT JEANES FUND MEET

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-President Taft
presided this afternoon at the annual
meeting of the executive board of the
Jeanes fund of s1,OO0,OOO for the better
ment of small rural negro schools in the
south. which was held in the cabinet
room at the White House. .
Andrew Carnegie, Booker T.. Washing
ton, George = oster Peabody. Walter H.
Page. DR.. j. H. billiard, of. New Orleans,
and Bishop Grant of Kansas. were
among those who spoke.
It was decided to continue work under
the fund upon the plan adopted last year
sending through the south teachers who
in reality teach the teachers of the rural
schools the newer methods of education.
The number of these teachers was in
creased from 140 to 152, this having been
made possible by an unexpected balance
from last year from interest earned on
the original endowment. The need of ad-
ditional funds with which to carry on the
work was emphasized by an appeal from
100 negro principals and teachers in the
south. ......
Prof. B. c. Caldwell former president
of the Louisville State Normal school,
was elected field agent and assistant to
the president of the board, newly Great
ed office. The board adjourned to meet
again at the White House the second
Thursday of next December.

ATLANTA IS DELUGED
WITH FREE GARDEN SEED
One Whose Name Is in
the City Directory May Get
Xmas Gift From Livingston.

Have you received during the past few
days through the mails under the FRANK
of Congressman L. f. Livingston neat
little package some five by seven lnches,
containing five varieties of garden seed
What? You have not? Well realiy'
you must be suffragette who has no
vote or an Assyrian who cannot get nat
uralized or something else equally inept
and entirely useless from a congressional
standpoint around election time. Either
that or your name is not in the city dlrec-
tory and Uncle Lon does not know your
address, in which event it is certain that
Uncle Lon will weep many bitter tears
when he learns that you have been
sighted
He did his best. There is no doubt of
that fact. During the. past few days the
local malls have been deluged with these
packages. Everyone has received them
from the amateur farmer who was great
" pleased to the man living in hotel
who wouldn't know the difference be-
tween bunch of parsnips and head of
lettuce If he saw them growing side by
side. Men whose home is under their hats
and don't know where they are going TO
find bed for the night or cup of cof-
fee in the morning were remembered by
Uncle Lon and they appreciated this
pleasant little reminder of springtime at
this particular season of the year. but
sighed sadly to think that it would be
months before they could pick turnap
greens for dinner. Yes, there are enough
garden seed in Atlanta today to stock
good sized plantation and each mail
brings in a fresh supply and the sorrows
of the postman are increasing apace. Said
one of them:
"It was real kind and thoughtful of
Colonel Livingston to remember his
friends but l wish he had picked out
some other time of the year. Here it is
nearly Christmas and we are worked to
death. We are doing our best to keep up
with the rush but it looks like we are 60
ing to be swamped."
Perhaps Mr.. Livingston didn't think
about that. Election time is drawing
nigh, you know. -

TROLLEY RUNS WILD AS
ROBBER SHOOTS CREW

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, Dec. 1s.-An
uncontrolled street car. bearing a dead
motorman and a dying. conductor, ran
here tonight.
The men were shot by a negro high
wayman, who escaped with a small sum
taken from the conductor.
According to the few words spoken by
n. p. O'Brien, the conductor. who IS
desperately wounded, the negro boarded
the car in the southeastern part of the
city. The conductor refused to obey the
highwaymsn's order to hold up his
hands, and a struggle ensued.
E.. ". Goody, the motorman, is sup
posed to have started to O'Brien's as
sistance. From the position of = the
bodies in the car, IL is. inferred that he
was shot down while still some PAGES
from the negro. e
No passengers were on the car, and
with its motorman dead and it's con-
dtietor helpless. it careered through the
streets Several times as it rounded
corners without warnings from its gong,
pedestrians and vehicles were missed by
narrow margins.
The car kept on to the downtown ter
minal, where employees of the street car
company boarded it and brought it to a
halt .....
The street railway employees were Civ.

mine sufferers in East st. Louis.

German courts, will be deferential to the
policies of Leopold, but will be really a
reformer. He already has reformed the
Congo, and the people expect him to
make his rule a progressive era in the
affairs of the little monarchy.
His policies of government have startled
some of his friends. 1t is the policy OF
an earnest man. not self-seeker. The
strange thing about it, given Prince AL
berts personality. is that it is a liberal
policy
ciers who had dealings with King Leo
poid during the last ten years Of his life
express themselves as being much i'm
pressed with his remarkable business abil-
ity
Thomas F. Walsh, a Colorado mine
owner. who was interested with Leopold
in Congo mining enterprises, is quoted as
saying:
THE king was more like an American
than any man met abroad, and he had
a great turn for business"
]. Pierpont Morgan, who had frequent
deals with the monarch, is reported to
have expressed the opinion that the king
of the Belgians was the greatest business
man he had ever met.
Thomas F. Ryan is another New York
financier who came to know King Leo
pold very well. Mr.. Ryan secured from
the king the exclusive right to gather
rubber over a vast area in the Congo and
also joined with the Guggenheims in an
exploration company which is developing
certain mining sections in the free state.
PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE reports from
Brussels that Leopold's morganatic union
with Baroness Vaughan was regularized
by religious ceremony, confirms the be-
lief long entertained here that the king
has taken every precaution to insure an
inheritance to the baroness and her son,
, who was born early in 1905.
After the baroness had divorced her
husband five years ago the king be-
came infatuated with her and installed
her in a chateau on which he spent fab
ulous sums. 1t was there that the baby
was born, and the king is reported to
have bestowed upon him the title of
Duke of Tervuerem,' the name Of q
domain of Belgium.
The French papers often have printed
stories Of how the king was seen wheel
ing a baby carriage over the graveled
walks surrounding the chateau, and how
he organized a stock company to manage
his vast real estate holdings here and
in southern France, to insure an income
for the baroness and her son in event
of legal complications with his disin-
herited daughters after his death.
