No Proposition to Offer

Supervisor Johnston and Attorney
McCutchen of the Spring Valley COM
pany held prolonged conference yes
terday, the gist of which was that the
company's representatives said the cor
poration had no proposition to offer
the city.
Johnston, Is head of the water rates
committee, had the board postpone ac-
ton on the water rates bill last Mon
day on McCutchen's representation that
the meeting of Spring Valleys stock
holders might possibly develop some
turn favorable to negotiation
There is now nothing to delay the
boards taking up the water rate bill
Monday. 1t re-enacts the present rates,
upon which the federal court has ac-
quiesced in the company's piling on 10
per cent overcharge.

SPAN OF HUMAN LIFE
MAY REACH $50 YEARS
Actuarles Are Hampered in Estimating
by False Facts About Youth
and Age

NEW YORK, May when tuber-
culosis and other preyentable causes
Of excessive mortality are mastered,
when those less than so tell the truth
about their youth and those more than
80 do the same about their age, 1t may
be possible for actuaries to figure on
$50 years as the span Of human life.
The national death rate has largely
decreased, but the decrease is almost
entirely confined to the infantile pc
Rod
over so years old, the decrease has
been very small, or an actual increase
has been shown by statistics. From
1889 to 1901 there was a decrease of
seven in each 1000 of population in the
total number of deaths, but the rate
of deaths from heart disease, cancer,
certain functional ailments and suicide,
is so per cent higher in the United
States than the mortality from the
same causes fifty years ago.
These and many other interesting
facts about the duration of human life
were presented by John X. Gore of
Newark, N. j., the president of the
Actuaries Society of America, at the
twentieth annual meeting of the so
ciety in the Metropolitan building.

SAN FRANCISCO, May THE As
ISOLATED Charities of this city are adj
vertising for baby carriage for the
thirty-ffth child Of Juan Manuelo Girl
jalva, whose family owned thousands
of acres in this state before the GRIN
goes came.
Juan also has been wealthy in his
day, but is now rich in nothing ex-
cept children, one having come to
bless him nearly every year since his
first marriage, almost half a century
ago.
OF his thirty-five children Juan has
completely lost track of ten, and some
of these left So long ago that he would
probably not recognize them should
they meet on the street
The baby that has just arrived to
bring joy to the heart of its 70-year-old
father was reported dead by the
nurses at the hospital on account OF a
mix-up in names, as there was another
baby in the same ward Of the name of
Dolores.
The grief of the aged father and the
young mother, the fourth of Juan's
wives, was intense, but their joy was
equally SO when they learned the re-
port was untrue.
Now the baby is better and the de-
scendant of Spanish grandees is seek
ing baby carriage for his thirty-fifth
child, herself a grandaunt.

SENATE LOWERS
TARIFF ON LEAD
CONTINUED from Page onel

Senator Stone thought III cents a
pound on lead ore was more than II
ought to be, even from the standpoint
of the protectionist.
In the opinion of Mr.. Carter a decided
majority of the senate was in accord
with the lead industry. The rate OF u
of a cent a pound, he declared, was
ruinous. He defended the Aldrich rate
of IL cents a pound. The propositions
of Mr.. Stone he characterized as ele-
mentary.
Resuming his opposition to the levy
ing of any duty on pig lead in addition
to the duty of ia cents a pound pro-
vided for lead ore, Mr.. Bristow de-
clared that 1t cost no more to make pig
lead in this country than abroad.
Mr.. Bristow was interrupted by SEN
ators Aldrich. Hepburn, Borah, Smoot.
Sutherland and others, all contending
the labor cost in producing lead was
enough greater than abroad to justify
the differential of e of one cent per
pound, as proposed by the committee on
finance.
Mr.. Bristow said he would offer no
opposition to the proposed duty on lead
in ore, but he protested against any
additional duty on pig lead, the product
of the ore.
Senator LaFollette read from a news
among the lead interests of the world
by which they were assured of harmon
lous action in the matter of fixing
prices. The statement also declared
that the Guggenheims and other lead
producers were included in the COM
bination.
Mr. LaFollette then said that some
years ago he had acquired lead and zinc
ore property in Wisconsin and for that
reason would withdraw his vote on the
land schedule.
A vote was taken on committee
amendments to section 179, the effect of
which was only to fix the duty on lead
contained in lead-bearing ore at III
cents a pound, which was the amount
carried in the house bill. The amend
ment carried by vote of 80 to 10.
Republican members of the senate
finance committee we're visited today
by a delegation of sixty hat manufa c.
turers and wholesale dealers represent
ing twenty-eight different states.
The hat manufacturers were given an
increase over the Dingley rates in the
house bill, but the duties were scaled
down by the senate committee to about
% per cent below the Dingley rates
The manufacturers assert that many of
them will be driven out of business If
these rates are adopted. They will call
on President Taft tomorrow.

AT OAKLAND SAYS
MAN TRIED TO POISON HER
Mrs. Edith McCrea Alleges Former
Convict Attempted to Kidnap
Daughter

OAKLAND, May 7.-On the request
of the district attorneys office today
the bail Of Charles Mack was raised
from $4,000 to $4,000 by Police Judge
Smith. Joe" Jones, his partner, who
had been released on $1,000, was re-
arraigned and the same amount of bail
fixed in his case because Mrs. Edith
McCrea alleges the men not only
robbed her but attempted to kidnap
her daughter and tried to poison her.
Mack is a former convict. The orig
inal charge against him was of rob-
bling the woman in a saloon.
She now alleges that shortly after
the robbery Mack called at her house
and after forcing an entrance offered
a drink of whisky from flask, and
that upon her refusal to drink he
poured it back into the flask and she
has learned that 1t was poisoned.
She also alleges that last Wednesday
two men whom she declares to be
Mack and Jones attempted to steal her
12-year- old daughter, whom they
found playing on the street. Jones is
particularly charged with making
threats against Mrs. McCrea when he
called on her and tried to get her to
drop the suit against Mack.
The woman's statement and new al
legations were investigated by the po-
lice at the request of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Decoto, and the result
was the action of the authorities in
police court this morning.

by Gardner was circulated rapidly
until throughout the crowd there were
first murmurs against the policeman
and then outcries of Lynch him!" and
"Slug himl" The report spread that
policeman was being mobbed in front
of the Westminster hotel and several
uniformed officers hurried to the scene
and their timely arrival alone prevent
ed an outbreak against Gardner that
might have had serious results. AT IS
was, it required the combined efforts
of eight officers and the two wagon
men to force a way through the crowd
for Gardner and the prisoner.
Warren was first taken to the receiv-
ing hospital, where a triangular cash
on the top of his head and several
bruises about the face and body were
attended to- and he was then con-
signed to a cell with the charge of
drunkenness marked opposite his name.
Officer Gardner, who is said to have
been drinking heavily and under the
influence of liquor at the time he made
the arrest of Warren, was not on duty
at the time, and was dressed in citi-
zen's clothing. The affair will be re-
ported to the chief of police this morn
ing and Gardeners suspension probably
will follow until 1t is investigated.

MONTANA'S BREWERS
TO RECOGNIZE UNION
STRIKE ENDS IN MISS0ULA;
WON BY WORKERS
Hope Expressed That Unfair List
Will Lead to Victory in
Other Towns of the
State

BUTTE, Mont, May 1.-THE Missoula
breweries have signed the agreement
with the Brewery Workers union for
two years, agreeing to recognize the
new union composed of brewery engi-
neers, and have been removed from the
unfair list.
The strikers there returned to work
this morning. The strikers feel sure
that breweries in other outside towns
will fall into line and sign the agree
ment very soon, in which event the
fight will narrow down to Butte.
The building trades council has or
dered its members to do work at no sa-
loon. brewery or other place where the
product of the Montana breweries is
made or handled.
This brings the building trades union,
excepting the bricklayers, arrayed face
to face against the miners, engineers
and the mill and smelter mems unions.
and the fight promises to be one to
finish, as there seems to be no posi-
bility that any union on either side
will change its attitude.

Charles T. Barney brought her auto
mobile back from Europe with her two
years ago she entered it at the customs
office as a household effect, which had
been in use for more than one year in
her European establishment, and was
therefore not dutiable.

household effect and was dutiable at
40 per cent of its value.
Mrs. Barney appealed from that ruiz
ing, and Judge Lacombe of the federal
circuit court yesterday directed the
appraisers to return to the court for
review the record in the case.
