RECIPROCITY GETS
A SHOVE DOWNWARD
Will Not Reduce High Cost
of Living, 7. ]. Study Says
Helps Big Fellow.

Despite the fact that the proposed
reciprocity treaty between the govern
ments of the United States and Can
ada is in keeping with planks in the
national platform of the Democratic
party, attorney Thomas ]. Study, of
this city, a leader in party affairs
in the county and one of the best
known Democrats in the state, does
not believe that the operation of the
treaty will bring results which the
wage Garner and professional man de-
sire.
Reciprocity with all the nations
would be a good thing he says. But
with Canada alone, he views recipro-
city from different angle and de-
clares it will be benefit. and practi-
cally sole benefit at that, to the big
interests. particularly the American
manufacturers.
The kind of reciprocity wanted by
the factory employee and the city man
is that which will reduce the high cost
of living and not alone make it posi-
BILE for the big manufactures to com
pete more easily in foreign countries,
Mr. Study says. For example, he ask
ed If anyone could show him whether
or not coffee would be cheapened;
whether the price on pork and other
meats would be reduced; whether the
American people could purchase SUI
gar at a lower figure and other like
commodities be correspondingly re
duced by a treaty with Canada. His
own answer to the questions were 81

Attorney Henry U. Johnson, who is
we'll versed in the proposed treaty
and regards it with favor, declaring
that it is an opening wedge and will
eventually lead to other treaties OF
this nature, after hearing Mr.. Study

Ingten ENDURED.
1t may not be generally known that
the Father of His Country was one OF
the first Americans to wear artlnciai
teeth BY the time the war OF the
Revolution had ended he had parted
company with most of the outfit which
nature had given him. An ingenious
physician and dentist of New York city
undertook the then unusual task or re-
equipment and produced at length 4
full set of artificial teeth. These are
now, of course. dental curiosity ana
offer an additional proof Of the heroism
of our first president, for 1t is matter
of fact that General Washington wore
those teeth for many years and, so far
as we know. never complained of them
The teeth were carved from ivory
and rivetcd. wired and clamped to a
somewhat ponderous gold plate. Three
large clamps in particular figure con.
spicuously in the roof of the mouth
and must have caused difficulty, If not
anguish. There were an upper and an
under set. and the two We're connected
and held in position relatively by a
long spiral spring on each side, says
Harper's Weekly.
Nevertheless Washington wore them
long and well. a fact sufficiently attest
ed by the worn and dinted condition of
both teeth and plate.
At the last account these teeth were
the property Of a dental institution in
Baltimore.

A Hard Hearted People,

Filial piety finds no place in Tibetan

for a son to turn his father, when too
old for work. out Of doors and to leave
him to perish in the cold. The supersti-
ton that the souls Of the dead can,
IL they will. haunt the living drives
their hardened natures to. gain by the
exercise Of cruelty the promise Of the
dying that they will not return to
earth. AS death approaches the dying
person is asked. Twill you come back
or will you not?" If he replies that
he will they pull leather bag over
his head and smother him. If he says
he will not he is allowed to die in
peace.

The deputies seemed awed by what
had taken place.
In the packed streets, however,
news that Diaz was at last no more
the president was the signal for wild
shouting and manifestations. There
was no violence nor no destruction of
property. 1t is the first time in 80
years that the people of Mexico have
been given the opportunity to shout
with impunity the name of their choice
for the presidency.
Provisional President de la Barra
acknowledged his elevation to that
high office in an open letter to the
Mexican people. In it he declares he
will not be candidate for either pres
ident or vice president when the gen.
eral election is called.
On the motion to accept the presi-
dents resignation, 167 deputies voted
aye, while two of them did not ex-
press themselves.
In similar fashion the resignation of
Vice President Ramon Corral, now in
France, was unanimously accepted,
and similarly Francisco Leon de la
Barra, late ambassador to Washing
ton, was chosen provisional president.
OF scarcely less interest in the popu-
lar mind was the practical assumption
of military control of the federal dis
trict by Alfredo Robles Dominguez,
Madero's personal representative.
Senior Dominguez stated that he can
bring 5000 organized rebel troops into
the city within three hours.

President Diaz, in his letter of resig.

deputies, says Il do not know of any
fact imputable to me which could have
caused this social phenomenon, but
permitting though not admitting that
l may be unwittingly culpable, such a
possibility makes me the least able to
reason out and decide my own culpa-
bility"
The one dramatic speech of the day
was made by Deputy Jose Aspe In
introducing the presidents letter OF
resignation, Deputy Aspe made one OF
the most brilliant oratorical efforts
with which the chamber has ever rung
His voice was repeatedly drowned by
applause and the floor fairly shook
with the demonstration which followed
his peroration.
The speaker admitted that General
Diaz had been called to account for
his errors by people who had pro
gressed faster than the author of their
progress had realized, but he declared
the good that General Diaz had done
his country would live forever in his
tory and outweigh his mistakes.

YEDRINt WINS LONG RACE
JUMPS FROM HIS AEROPLANE
UTTERLY EXHAUSTED.
French Aviator First Of Contestants
to Arrive at Madrid in Flight
From Paris.

Madrid, May Pierre Vedrine,
the French aviator, arrived safely at
the Spanish capital from Burgos, be-
ing the first contestant to complete
the third stage of the Paris-tOMadrld
aviation race He covered the dis
stance of 140 miles between Madrid
and Burgos, where he landed yester-
day from San Sebastian, in 2 hours
and As minutes.
Vedrine, on landing at the Getafe
aerodrome, jumped from his aeroplane
and flung himself on the ground to
rest. A frantic crowd soon rushed
up, however, and bore the victorious
aviator on their shoulders to the tri-
bunal. On reaching the judges plat
form he was shOwered with roses and
kissed repeatedly by women.
Later on, complaining that he was
moved to an infirmary, where he re-
Ceived medical attention and a short,

the aerodrome the Frenchman smil-

he had brought with him from Paris
and was congratulated on his magnif-
icent flight by the civil governor Of
Madrid on behalf of King Alfonso.
Vedrine left the suburbs of Burgos
in ideal weather, flew over Amanda de
Duero, forty-eight miles south of Bur

At Bocequillas, where the airman was
greeted by a great crowd of wildly

DENY BANKERS PARDON
TAFT DECLINES TO EXERCISE
ANY KIND OF CLEMENcY.
President Scores Convicted Finaneier RS
Both Used Peoples Money For
Their Own Gain.

Washington, D. c - President
Taft denied the applications for the
pardon of Charles w Morse of New
York and John X. Walsh, of Chicago,
tEe two most prominent bankers ever
convicted and s"nt to federal peniten-
taries under the national BANKING
laws.
Not only did the president refuse to
pardon either Morse or Walsh, but he
also declined at this time to exercise
Iny sort of executive Clemency in
these cases, or to shorten the SEN
tences imposed upon the two men by
the courts in which they were con-
VlCted
In denying the pardon the president
took the stand that the national bank
ng laws must be upheld when they
affect the rich man even more than
when they affect the poor. The record
in the Walsh case, the president said
in a long opinion, shows moral turpi-
tude Of that insidiOus and dangerous
kind, to punish which the national
In considering the case Of Morse,
the present said that from a con-
sideratiOn of the facts in each case
have no doubt that Morse should have
received a heavier sentence than
Walsh. Indeed, the methods taken by
Morse tend to show that more keenly
than W alsh did he realize the evil OF
what he was doing"
In his opinion in the Walsh case, the
president protested against the failure
to discriminate between legitimate
business and improper gain.
The truth is,' he said, that in
the mad rush for wealth in the last
few decades the lines between profit
from legitimate business and improper
gain from undue use of trust control
over other peoples property and mon
ey has sometimes been dimmed and
the interest of society requires that

whenever opportunity offers those
charged with the enforcement of the
law should emphasize the distinction
between honest business and dishonest
breaches of trust"
The presidents denial of the pardon
applications of Morse and Walsh does
not mean that they must stay in prison
until the end of their terms. Walsh
began a sentence of five years in the
LeaVenworth penitentiary in January,
1910, and under the federal parole law
is eligible for parole next September,
the presidents action having no bear
ing whatever upon future application
for parole. Morse began his 15-year
term in the Atlanta penitentiary in
January, 1910, also. In denying his
application the president granted
leave to renew 1t after Jan /, 1918.
Under the parole law Morse would
be eligible for release in 1915.
The pleas of i'll health and reim-
bursement OF all depositors in the
Morse and Walsh banks were made in
both cases.
