ton for Using Tobacco
Especial Dispatch to The Call

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 15.-Cigar-
cite smoking and the use of tobacco in
any form by women were denounced in
resolutions adopted by the delegates to
the annual convention of the women's
organization of the National Associa-
ton of Retail Druggists.
Mrs. William EsteIl Lee, of PhiladeI-
phia, the president of the organization,
started the session which preceded the
adoption of the resolution by declaring
that one of the biggest tobacconists in
the eastern part of the. country had
told here that his best customer was a
girl at one of the leading girls colleges
in the east. Mrs Lee said:
The constantly growing habit of
smoking cigarettes by society women
and others throughout the United
States should receive the severest CEN
sure by the well meaning person. The
inhaling of cigarette smoke not only
detracts from woman's beauty by
giving a yellow. muddy tinge to her
complexion, but Injuries her health as
we'll.
Then there are the little tots. the in
no cent children who certainly will fail
to respect mother whom they see
daily going about the house putting
rings of smoke from cigarette. Soon
they also will learn the habit from
the mother, and their growth will be
stunted. their general health injured
and their mental faculties dulled, rem
dering them backward at school and
consequently when they attain matur-
ity they will be Handicapped in the stern
battle of life"
When asked about the effort to have
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth stop smoking
cigarettes Mrs. Lee said:
I'VE have nothing to do with Mrs.
Longworth. Whatever she does must
rest on her own conscience. She must
take care of herself

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
BERKELEY, Sept. 15.-By a vote of
1909 against to 1.4O2 for annexation to
Oakland, Berkeley rejected today the
plan to unite the two cities in one COM
monwealth. The vote was a little less
than 3 to 1. the annexationists showing
greater strength than was expected by
opponents of the measure.
Interest in the election was so great
that out of registration of 7,272, more
than 5.41O votes were cast.
In North Berkeley the anti-annexa-
tionists carried all the precincts, the
ratio being as high as 25 to /. In East
Berkeley. especially around the campus,
the vote was also Overwhelmingly
against.
In West Berkeley the annexationists
made a thorough campaign and carried
nexation to 1S7 against it. In South
Berkeley the ratio was about to 1.
the votes cast being 39S for annexation
and 72S opposed to consolidation
In Oakland the vote was light. going
for annexation by 9 to L. The total
registration in that city is about 10000
Only S.245 ballots were cast.
Complete returns for Oakland showed
1920 votes in favor and 325 against
annexation. Every section of the city,
including the annex. voted in about~the
same proportion for the proposition.
In Berkeley the opposing forces were
very busy all day. Automobiles were
used by the score throughout the city
In the strong anti-annexation centers
the voters were taken to the polls as
fast as they could be accommodated
In Oakland there was no special
was taken as a matter of course that
the opposition there would be practi-
cally nothing. AS the law required that
both cities should give a majority in
favor of, annexation, Berkeley's defeat
of it settled the question. Mayor Hodg-
head made the following statement
upon the returns:
The result of the election is en-
phatic enough to have a meaning 1t
was not an expression of the people
on the subject OF a possible city and
county government about the bay at
some future time. That issue was not
involved. But 1T was notice to all con-
cerned that Berkeley will never sub
nit to plain annexation to Oakland and
the surrender of its name and all local
autonomy.
The methods adopted to bring about
the annexation did not inspire the con-
fdence of the people.
The number of votes in favor of
annexation was less than the number
who signed the petition for an cleo
tion. showing that many signed under
Misrepresentation as to the character
of the consolidation proposed and also
showing that further safeguards and
restrictions should be placed upon the
thoGghtless practice and accommo-
dating habit of signing petitions.

II EVERLY. Mass, Sept. 15.-Bev-

- night as TO the exact meaning of
the letter made public here today in
which Secretary Charles D. Norton, re-
flecting the views of President Taft, an
nounced that the policy of Withholding
patronage from progressive" senators
and representatives had been aban-
doned and that it was the purpose of
the administration to treat all rep4bli-
cans alike.
The letter was written to an un-
named political leader in Iowa. an in
surgent stamping ground. No interpre-
tation of the document could be OBJ
tained from official sources
Variety of interpretations
1t was admitted that variety of in
terpretations might be placed upon it
from the viewpoint of different politi-
cal observers, but it was insisted that
the letter was simply a formal an
nouncement of policy that soon would
have been discovered in various ap-
pointments of postmasters that are
about to be made in some of the pro
gressive" states.
The suggestion that the letter seemed
TO indicate turn toward the progress
sives" on the part of Taft was made
by a statement that he always had
been a progressive" himself and that
his record for progressive legislation
during his first year in Office had never
been equalled by any other republican
administration.
Taft Not Disappointed
1t was not admitted at he executive
Offices that recent progressive success

suits in these states were at all dis
pleasing to him.
Taft declared last winter that his
test of real republicanism was support
of the party's national platform. All
the progressive states have announced
fealty to this platform and the presi-
dent is said to be more than willing
to take the progressive leaders at their
word, and he assuredly will give them
an opportunity this winter to carry
some more of the platform pledges into
effect.
The president declared, through Nor
ton, that the value of federal patronage
has been greatly over estimated, but
taken for what it may be worth, he
does not propose to let it stand any
longer as hindrance to party har-
mony.

manner in which the Reichsbank or I'm

aid German commerce and to hold the

between senator Aldrich and his asso-
ciates of the commission in the sum-
mer of 1908 with two of the leading
officials of the Reichsbank-Herr DR..
Won Glasenapp, vice president, and Herr
DR.. Won Lumm, director.
Searching questions were asked by
senator Aldrich and his associates of
the commission, to which the officers
of the bank made brief but instructive
replies. Discussing the question of the
character of the business of the bank,
it was declared "the Reichsbank is not
only bank for banks, but for the COM
mercial and Industrial. enterprises of
the empire" 1t was declared, however.
that the law prescribes exactly the kind
of bills the bank may take. They must
not exceed three months in time and
