Berlin, March 3O.-In Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg's reply in
the Reichstag today concerning the
International arbitration movement,
foreign diplomats here see Germany
as a stumbling block to universal
plans.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg character
lied the movement as ideal, but i'm
practicable" The expression was
called forth by resolutions by pro-
gressive Socialists urging Germany's
participation in the movement.
1t is intimated that the chancellor
and the kaiser view with jealous
eyes the preliminaries pending be-
tween Britain and the United States
to an arbitration pact, and it Is ad-
mitted that little surprise would be
shown if Germany were to openly op-
pose the extension of the arbitration
idea.
Celebrating his statement, Won
Bethmann-Hollweg said:
Germany is not opposed to the ar
bitration principle but recognizes the
fact that It cannot be made part OF
her national policy. We most GER

SALEMS MAYOR BUYS
BIG LOT OF HOPS

The Mclaughlin crop of 1903
hops, in all 1925 bales, grown at In
dependence. was sold Saturday to
Louis Lachmund at 13 cents. These
hops will be shipped to London.
This was the largest single block
of hops remaining in first hands in
the world The lot also comprised
about one-third of all the 1903 crop
left in this state, asserts the Ore
gonian The sale, therefore, brings
the available supplies down to a
small compass, as there are not much
over 1000 bales of last years growth

The fact that the Lachmund pur-
chase Is going out of the country is
calculated to make the transfer a

Further developments are looked for

San Antonio, March 30.-Alfonso

statement:
There is mistaken notion re-
garding the part played by my faith
er and by myself. We cannot make
peace-that rests with my brother
and his soldiers. My father and
Senor Limantour met in New York
and decided to attempt to bring
about peace. My father made his
demands conditional upon Francis
co.'s acceptance. What the demands
were l ann not in a position to state.
"Limantour presented the de-
mands to Diaz, who has accepted
them. My father is now oommuni-
eating with Francisco near Chlhua-
hua, regarding the proposals.
Neither my father nor myself
will enter Mexico on safe conduct by
the Diaz government. We expect
Francisco's answer within al week.
He will present the peace proposals
to his chiefs and soldiers. II accept
ed, he will appoint peace commits
sion to meet a commission named by
Diaz on neutral ground. The meet
ing will not be held at Chihuahua.

search their employees before they
entered the freight elevators, after
quitting wirk, built a partition to

Beers also asserted that the COM

When the fire started the girls

HEN FOO IS

IN DENIAL
HE INSISTS THAT SOMEBODY,
PRACTICALLY EVERYBODY, is
A LIAR IN THE ABSTRACT AND
CONCRETE, INDIVIDUALLY AND
COLLECTIVELY BECAUSE OF
STATEMENT THE CHINKS WERE
GOING TO PORTLAND.

Hen Foo was mad this morning
mad because a story has gained cir
culation that the Cinnamon making
up Salem's Chinatown are going to
Portland and as he stood back of his
counter in the Senate Saloon hand

oenominate again and again the orig
lnator of it liar, but also delegated
every man who questioned him on the
subject with authority to hand out
the short word to him or to any one
pretending to vouch for the truth of
the story.
While Hen Foo is at the present
presiding over a "hot dog" and
smoked saloon counter in a gilded
palace of sin where men who are dry
quench their thirst, he is by profess
sion an interpreter and has seen SER

MAINE IS
AGAINST
INCOME TAX
AS. SHE is THE TWELFTH STATE
AGAINST AND IT TAKES THREE
FOURTHs OF THE STATES TO
RATIFY, HER ACT MAY END
1T.

Augusta, Me-, March S0.-The
proposed constitutional income tax
amendment received what may prove
fatal setback today when the
Maine legislature rejected a resolu-
ton favoring its adoption. Unless
some of the other states undergo a
reversal of feeling toward the
amendment the action of the state
lawmakers today effectually kills
the proposed mendment, as Maine
is the twelfth state to decide against
the issue.
Before the amendment can become
effective its ratification by three
fourths Of the states is necessary.
Other states to reject the amend
ment are Louisiana, Massachusetts
New York, Rhode Island, Virginia
Arkansas, New Hampshire, Utah
Vermont, West Virginia and New
Jersey.
Twelve states have not yet voted
on the measure, while % have fav
ored its adoption.
1t is believed that New York anC
I Massachusetts may reverse theii
previous verdicts on the income ta1
amendment and thus save it from
final defeat. The amendment wa
favorably reported in the Massa
chusetts legislature yesterday wher
it was introduced after 1t had ono
been disapproved.

took him at his word. Since then,
says Foo, the Cinnamon have had oc-
casion to find out that talk and a
contract are not the same thing and
also that white men lie and accord
ing to his version the Cinnamon were
Heap dam fools"
VIII Not Go to Portland.
Foo says that the Cinnamon have
recently had several meetings and
that they have decided that if they
must pay higher rent that they are
going to leave their present quarters,
but they are not going to Portland
that is where the lie comes in. "Sa-
lem Chinaman no wanta to live in
Portland" said Foo, "but in Salem
and you tell everybody who say
Chinaman going to Portland that him
lie, and bling him to me and l talk
to him-I tell him he is liar, too"
Foo has a sneaking notion that some
Oriental who is not on good terms
with the Chinese colony started the
story that they are going to Portland
and he is hot on his trail and If he
finds him he promises to talk to him
and he will probably tell him in
Chinese and American at the same
time that he lies, because he is mad
lis mad clear through,
Looking For Other Grounds.
The Cinnamon are looking for an
other location but so far they have
not found 1t. They believe that they
will be able to induce some one with
tempting rental to build them a
house on ground not far away from
the town-"good houses" as Foe
says, and as soon as they can the
colony will move there. But they
are not going to Portland Foo
wants that understood.

HALF MILLION SHY.
Hamden Assessors Disagree to That Extent With State Board on
 Towns Property.

The people of Hamden would like to know which figures are right in the assessed valuation of the towns prop erty, those of the State Board or Equalization or those of the towns as- sessors. The disparity of half mil lion dollars in the value of assessable property in the town strikes them as something not altogether just right, and at the meeting of the Board of Finance this evening there will be an effort made to determine why the State Board and the Town Board can not come to some agreement in the matter The State Equalization Board figures that the taxa ble prop erty in the town of Hamden is worth $4, 300, ,000 while the town assessors claim that the value of the town S property does not exceed $4,OOO,O0 Thus it happens that the State tax levied on the Hamden people as matter of course, is larger than the tax accruing to the town. An effort will be made to secure some reasseSs- ment of property values to core spond.
 The condition of buildings in Ham den, particularly the new Highwood school, has impelled many of the vot- CTS to ask for the appointment of a building inspector and they will urge the Board of Finance to pick man who shall be responsible for the bet ter construction of private and pub lie buildings to be erected in the fu ture. Those who want such a man employed by the town say that there is not a town of it's size in the State where so many ramshackles are al lowed to go up.

THE REACTTONARY DECLINE.

AA
 Judson for governor and then per- haps for United States senator, is the program that keeps the special privi- lege politicians of the Republican party awake nights. There is much talk now. pro and con, of what Bran degee will permit and will not per- init; of what Mclean will do and what he will not do. There is speech of Rorabacks. Kings and Eatons, who will stop the onward march of the only progressive Republican of dis tinction in Connecticut One thing only is left out of these dire pro- phecies of what will, or will not be permitted to Judson. It is that the times are moving rapidly away from the rule of reactionaries and toward more democratic forms of govern ment administered by men of more democratic views. This movement promises to sweep "old guards" ev- anywhere into .theh sea, ofd oblivion. Brandegse,v ,voMcLednl" aha Ttheir ilk seem we'll upon that road, although as yet the news of their voting in the Senate has scarcely penetrated to the minds of the people.

TEN FOOT CENTERS.
9IlA Us 1lloAl TOt

1OIlh J b J-4 1Ol -
 Vehicles other than trolley cars still have some rights in Connecticut, or ought to have. These rights will be considerably diminished if the ten foot center bill becomes law. This bili provides that trolley companies may lay their tracks on ten foot cen ters wherever the streets are 32 feet wide, without consulting local au thorities, or anybody else. This pro- position generally applied to the nar- row streets of Bridgeport would great Ky increase the risk of travel by horse and automobile. It would even inn pede the movement of the cars them selves, as witness the delays that now occur upon Fairfield avenue and Noble avenue, where cars are constantly stopping and putting up their running boards to avoid collision with vehi- cles standing at the, curbs. Senator McNeil did we'll to halt this predatory and selfish legislation in the Senate. It is to be hoped that he will be able to give it coup de grace.

LA TOILETTE AND ALASKA.

Senator LaFollette is proving him. self more than ever patriot and a statesman. His suggestions relative to the opening of Alaska will strike a responsive chord in the heart of every true American. The govern ment should acquire, build and own the railroads in Alaska with the necessary telephone and telephone and shipping. It should take control of the coal deposits, both for the benefit of the navy on the Pacific coast, and to provide a surplus dis tribution to private consumers when ever necessary to limit the extortion of the coal barons. The lands of Alaska belong to the people of the United States. The coal, the gold, the copper, and all the other raw materials in the land belong to the United States. These rich deposits, so valuable to the future should not be turned over to the trusts, the Gug- genhelmS, the MorganS and the rest of that breed, to be operated for pri- vate advantage. The United States is the only first class nation in the world that permits its telegraphs and telephones to remain in private hands. It is the only first class nation that turns it's people over to the unbridied extortions of great usurers and re- graters in the necessities of life.
 Since Senator LaFollette speaks for the insurgent group in the Senate. both Republicans and Democrats, it may be said with certainty that the program he lays down will have great strength in the strongho1ds of gov ernment and measurable chance of realization within few years.
