The measure now pending before
the State legislature which seeks to
increase the number of sources of in
direct revenue by imposing a tax upon
foreign securities held in the state
should be overwhelmingly defeated.
The experiment of indirect taxa.
ton in this state has worked badly;
it has promoted extravaganza and
successfully invited the upbuilding of
an enormous debt. 1t has blinded
the citizens temporarily to the extent
to which they would ultimately be
committed to unwise and gigantic ex-
penditure.
The effort to keep the financial led
ger for the state balanced for a year
or two more by the imposition of ad-
ditional indirect taxes is unwise and
a demonstration of poor political judg-
ment. There has been enough of
"sky-hooting" in eXtravagant appro-
priations.

DIAZ ENJOYS BRILLIANT
LIFE OF FRENCH CAPITAL
ExiIed President and Wife Wined and
Dined in Paris; First European
Visit Interests Them

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
PARIS, July 15.-General Porfirio
Diaz has received many official hon
ors in Paris. Among the Latin Amer
lean residents of the capital his pres
ence has been the occasion of q
series of brilliant receptions AMI
fetes. The former President of Mex
leo was received by President Fail
Heres at the Elysee and later the
President paid a return visit to the
Mexican. Sonora Diaz and Nine. Fal-
Heres also exchanged visits.
Several hitherto unchronicled inci-
dents of the long voyage on the Ger
man steamship Ypiranga from Mex
leo have been told by fellow passen-
gers as interesting sidelights on the
aged soldiers personality. General
Diaz mingled freely with all ana
talked on a variety of subjects. Out
spoken thoughts of bitterness at his
revolving fellow countrymen formed
the least place in these talks, so
eagerly INDUCED in by fellow trav-
elers, anxious to get a close-to-hand
view of the man accredited with the
building up of the modern Mexico.
The great topic of interest to Gen
eral Diaz was the old world, whose
shores he was approaching for the
first time in his life. He wanted to
know all about the nations of Europe,
and especially of France and of Paris.
He recounted often his experiences
with the troops of Napoleon III. TO
help the Macmillan campaign when
he was made prisoner by the French
officers, who treated him, however,
with the greatest courtesy, more, in
deed, as friend.
He was greatly affected at the dem
onstrations of welcome at the Span
ish ports. Unlike the times later
when he was officially greeted in
England and France, he was more at
home therefor those about spoke
his own Spanish tongue. At Santan-
der boat loads of enthusiastic visitors
brought him masses of beautiful flow
ers. The president was literally bur
led under floral pieces, made up from
the finest beds of Spanish gardens.
Somebody estimated these flowers as
worth at least $4,000.
The day after leaving Santander
the General saw the purser. "Purser,r
he said, 81 think we'd better throw
these flowers overheard now. 1t was
very nice to have given them to me,
but I have no use for them" On the
way back to his cabin he said to
friend: after all, flowers are all
humbug. 1t would have been better
to have spent the money on the
poor"

Yankees After French Savings.
The financiers of New York and
Berlin are in active rivalry for oppor-
tunities to invest French savings
which amount to more than $1,000,
600, 300 yearly. German diplomacy has
sought for ten years to list govern
ment bonds on the Paris exchange,
but the French government has stead
lastly refused their admission. French
per cents sell at 96, while Imperial
German per cents are usually at
about So. The German government
desires to avail itself of the French
market for an enormous number Of
municipal, state and imperial issues,
thus releasing German savings for
investment in industrial and CONNER
cial undertakings.
Berlin bankers have been borrow
ing great sums from Paris regularly
through Swiss houses, but up to the
present the French government will
not allow German securities of any
sort to be openly listed on the Paris
Bourse. New York has been able this
year to make it's first official entry on
the floor of the Paris Stock Exchange,
where three different American stocks
are now admitted. The probability IS
that some twenty other companies
will receive within the next twelve
months official recognition.

UNIQUE ANSWERS FROM
. NEW ENGLAND TEACHERS
House Urged to Extend Useful
ness of the Bureau of
Education.

A lively fight was waged in the House
yesterday over a provision in the exc
cutive appropriation bill authorizing
the national bureau of education to
employ specialists in higher education,
rural education and school hygiene at
$4,000 a year each. This specific pro-
vision was defeated on a point Of order.
but the advocates Of extending the use
fulness of the bureau finally won out
by means Of an amendment authoriz-
ing an investigation into these three
subjects and appropriating $4,000 for
the purpose.
Representative Herbert Parsons Of
New York enlivened the debate by
sending to the desk to be read an ex-
tract from a speech by the Rev. DIR.
John NJ. Thomas, president OF Middle
burg College, in which he spoke OF the
need Of work among the rural teachers
and cited answers given by three New
England teachers In an examination.
One teacher, naming four place. of
historic interest in the United States.
wrote: Boston, TicOnderoga, Spain and
England"
Defining "disinfectant" another teach
err wrote: "Disinfectant is something
that does not agree with ones system"
The third teacher, defining "deodor-
izer," wrote: "Deodorizer is person
that has a desire he doesn't know
about"
Mr.. Currier of New Hampshire. who
was presiding. had temporarily resign
ed the chair when the House was

never would have allowed his cOnstftu-
ents to be slammed" in such a manner.

Indian Fees.
FORMER SENATOR HEARD
Testifies Before House Investigating
Committee.
TELLS ABOUT THE CONTRACTS
Explains About Amendment He
Had Prepared for the General
Deficiency Bill.
FORMER SENATOR HEARD
ELLIS ABOUT THE CONTRACTS

| Former Senator Chester /. Long of Kan
sas told the special investigating COM
mittee of the House Yesterday afternoon
that he had an arrangement with John
| +. McMurray. the Oklahoma Indian land
| lawyer whereby he was to receive, in adj
dition to his expenses. 10 per cent of
the amount Mr.. McMurray received as
! his fee in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
land cases.
Mr.. Long said his connection with the
land cases was contingent upon the ap-
prevail or recognition by the government
of the contracts between Mr.. McMurray
and the Indians He had represented
Mr. MoMurray, he said, in two hearings
before the Attorney General and the Sec
rotary Of the Interior
Contracts With the Indians.
Mr.. McAIurray had contracts with two
tribes covering claims for segregated
coal and asphalt lands and individual
contracts with the members Of the two
tribes covering all their claims and in
Guiding the so-called LEASED land dis
trict. In behalf of Mr.. McMurray, Sen
ator Long said he submitted all these
contracts to the Attorney General and the
Secretary of the Interior. with the pro-
posal that the federal officials determine
what would be proper percentage as a
fee to Mr.. McMurray.
Amendment to Deficiency Bill.
Former Senator Long was asked il he
had prepared and handed to Senator Cal
linger of New Hampshire an amendment
to be inserted. in conference. in the
general deficiency bill at the last ses-
sion, in place Of the amendment that Sen
ator Gore had added to the bill.
Mr.. Long admitted that he had. but he
said that the form i'll which the amend
ment finally came from the conference
committee was not the form in which he
had prepared it. The amendment in ques-
ton concerned the so-called McMurray
contracts. supposed to involve fees of
about S3UGOGO0 for Mr.. McMurray in
case the Indian rights to the lands were
fully established.
The amendment, as it was finally re-
ported to the Senate from the conference
committee. provided that the President
shall approve the contracts made by
the individual Indians. Former Senator
Long testified that as he had given ii to
Senator Gallinger it provided, that the
President may" approve them.
Under the authority Of the word shall
the question at once was raised whether
Congress had not virtually ordered the
President to approve these contracts in
stead of leaving it to his discretion. Be-
cause of this construction the amend
