PRESIDENT TAFT
AvERTS TARIFF WAR
About To Sign Agreement With
France.
DISPUTE ON HAND WITH CANADA.
All Differences Settled And France
To Get % Per Cent. Reduction o:
Rates Provided For In The Payne
Aldrich Bill-The President To
Take Up Tariff Question With
Canadian Officials.

Rochester, n. Y. Especially .-Presi-
dent Taft announced here that a
complete agreement had been reached
with France on all tariff differences,
and that he would sign a proelama-
ton giving to France the , ) per cent.
reduction of rates provided for in
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
President Taft received a long
cipher dispatch from Secretary Knox
conveying the contents of cable
gram from France which indicated
that the proposition made by the
United States had been accepted.
France has agreed with the United
States on sc per cent. of imported
articles. and in lieu of an agree
ment on the remaining 4 per cent.
is willing TO grant still further con-
cessions in the list already agreed to.
This is acceptable TO the United
States. Because of the high increase
of duties on champagne it had been
predicted that a tariff war with
France was almost certain.
Although the situation seems all
but hopeless. President Taft has not
given up the idea of averting a tariff
war with Canada. He has invited
to meet him in Albany W. S. Field
ing. the Canadian minister of f.
nance; Henry NJ. Hoyt, counsellor of
the State Department. and Charles NJ.
Pepper. tariff expert of the Depar-
ment of Commerce and Labor. will
come on from Washington to be
present at the conference.
President Taft at first invited Sir
Wilfred Laurier. the Canadian pre-
mier. to the conference, but the
latter was unable to come Thus
far Canada has shown a disposition
TO stand pat" and has all but put
an end to any further negotiations.
The President is making a last eff
tort, however. to reach an agreement
with the Dominion government.
The dispute with Canada grows
out OF the fact that Canada nego-
tiated a treaty with France, whereby
that country was given a reduction
OF from ? Il to per cent. over other
countries. Through Great Britain
favored nation treaties, however,
this preferential treatment given by
Canada to France was automatically
extended to IS other countries. This
IN effect left the United States as
the principal country affected by the
higher rates.

Daytona, Fla. Especially Barney
Oldtleld, driving against time from
flying start, in a 2O0-horsepower
Benz automobile of special design,
covered the fastest mile ever travel
ed by human being. His time
was 81 33-100 seconds. Nothing
projected into space by man save a
bullet has travelled $3.50 feet at
equal speed The previous record
was set here four years ago by Mar
riot, who drove a special Stanley
steamer one mile in % lis seconds
at an average speed of 1915 miles
an hour. Oldfield's average was
1912.
Returning to the starting lines be-
tween files of cheering spectators,
Oldfield again launched his great
car from a standing start for a mile
against time and crossed the finish
line with another record. His time
was 40 $500 seconds, as against
Al 23-100 seconds, made with the
same car by Hemmery on the Brook
field track in England.
In the flying start effort Oldfeld
came down the rock-like surface of
the track to the starting line as an
indistinguishable blur of roaring
fame and smoke. Almost before
the overtaxed mechanism of the eye
had adjusted itself to the changing
perspective of his approach he al
ready was dwindling into the dis
lance, and almost before the brain
had translated the impressions of
sense into thought he had crossed
the finish line. The timing for both
races was done by c. H. Warner. Of
fetal timer for the American Auto
mobile Association, with the same
mechanical device he used at tht
Atlanta and Indianapolis speedways
and which has been officially adopt
ed by the association. Ralph de
Palma, Oldfield's rival, who was I'M
able to start against him because
of a broken piston, acted as repre-
sentative for the contest board. A
surveyors certificate has been filed
for the distance posts, and only the
formal acceptance by the contest
board is necessary before the record
passes officially into the history of
