Commissioner of Indian Affairs VAL

government was engaged on their be-

Among the means which the Indian
Office already has inaugurated in part
and which it will push with vigor in

FRANCE ABOLISH
AUTO SPEED LIMIT
Drivers Put on Honor Not to
Run Machines to Danger
of Common Good.
CARS MUST PASS ON RIGHT
Rule of the Road to Be Con-
formed to That Of Great
Britain.
CARS MUST PASS ON RIGHT

Paris. September 3.-vital changes
VIII take place next month in the reg
uiattons governing automobiling in
France.
The loyal limit of speed in the open
country has previously been thirty
kilometres as ga milcs) an hour
though in reality there has been a
sort of unwritten law that one made
what speed he would. SO long as he
did not trespass upon the rights OF
other road users. This disregard of
an existing law was the entering
wedge. and now. from the Minister of
Public Works comes the information
that the thirty kilometre limit Is to
be technically abolished.
Henccforth the driver of an automo-
bile Is on his honor. 1t were. not to
drive to the danger OF the common
good. which means not driving fast
under circumstances and conditions
wherein danger would be thus implied.
The objection to the former law was
that most people interpreted 1t rs
meaning that anything UP to the limit
was a reasonable speed under all CON
ditions, save whore a local community
cut 1t down to six. eight or ten kilo-
metres an hour, and 40 placardeL the
entrances to their villages
1t is also proposed TO grant the road
user inalienable rights on the road
try France. and often within the
towns where no sidewalks exist. PC
destrians walk in the middle OF the
road Now, warned by the presexce
of an automobile by the sounding of
n horn or bell. he will remain thare
at his own peril
The rule of the road in Franco Will
also be changed to correspond with
that of Great Britain. which. every
one knows. or at least believes. OF
has believed up to the present time
is wrong. What new developments an
| arguments have appeared in favor OF
driving on tho left and passing on the
right as being preferable to the pro-
| cedure in America. and. indeed. pretty
! much everywhere else, except in the
British Isles. is not officially explained
Possibly there is much to say on
either side, but the preponderancc OF
opinion would seem to be In favor OF
meeting on the right and passing on
the left, though 1t is undertake that
two approaching automobiles with
steering wheels placed. as In the ma
jority of instances ct the present time
on the right, there is perhaps more
safety in getting by each other at high
speed
One reason why 1t is proposed to put
this law in application In France IS be-
cause of certain class of slow going
wheeled traGlc. that of heavily laden
country carts. where the driver is, a.
often on foot as aboard his load. The
law compels him to stand by the right
of the horses head. If he is thus over
taken by a passing automobile he will
! still be between 1t and his horse. and
thus be better able to control the ami
NAL.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
MAINTAINS SILENCE
(Ry Associated Press.l

Los Angeles, CAL, April 2S-When
the curtain arose on the third days
scene and incidents connected with
the Imprisonment aud impending trial
of alleged dynamiters, John J. McNa-
mara, James B. Mcnamara, and Ortie
McManigal, the outlines of the great
criminal case began to assume definite
form. The all-prominent feature is
the confession which McManigal is
reported to have made, first to Detec-
tive w. J. Burns, in Chicago. and then
in more complete form to District
Attorney Frederick Hereia. The dis
trict attorney has refused to admit
definitely that he holds confession of
McManigal.
No official court action is likely to
be taken here before the arrival of
Clarence S. Darrow, who is expected
to assume charge of the defense of
the McNamaras and w. Joseph Ford,
assistant district attorney of the Los
Angeles Company, who is on the way
from Indianapolis as the bearer of
important evidence. 1t is believed
that the arraignments of the accused
will take place early next week.

ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE.
NV Associated Press.)

Washington, April 28.-A bill pro
| viding for the enlargement of the ma
tional house of representatives from
391 to 433 members and the appor
tionment of these members to the diff
ferent states on the bases Of the pop
ulation shown by the recent federal
census, passed the house early this
evening after vain efforts of members
of both political parties to amend it
in important particulars.
The proposed size of the house is
identical with that provided for in the
Crumpacker bill, passed by the house
at the last session of Congress, but
not acted upon by the Senate. The
Houston bill, passed today, leaves
to the legislatures of the different
states the power to rearrange the con.
gressional distrists in theis respec-
tive states on the new population bas.
is, of one member for each 211,8 ,877 of
inhabitants.
The two important amendments pro-
posed today and defeated after leng.
thy debate, were to put the redistrict-
ing power in the hands of the govern
ors of states when the legislatures
had failed to act; and to limit the
House in the future to membership
of 430 or 433, leaving future reappor
tionments to the secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.

ORGANIZED LABoR's DANGER

Both in the Chicago newspaper
strike and in the action of miners to-
ward John Mitchell. organized labor
is playing with fire. Neither favors
shown it in political platforms nor the
complaisant mood of state legislatures
can help it to ultimate success unless
it wisely uses the power that comes
into its hands.
John Mitchell belongs to the type
of labor leader to whom trade unions
owe their present favor in the public
estimation. Through the power Of
men like John Mitchell, Sargent, Ar.
thur and Lynch a restraining hand
has been laid upon organized labor's
deadliest enemies-the unreasOning
agitators who bring upon the unions
the distrust and histility of thought
full and law abiding citizens.
In the Chicago strike the local un-
ion has temporarily been baked of
4 move that seriously menaced, pOten-
tally at least. the wholesome princi-
pie of contracts, which include agree
ments against strikes and lockouts
pending arbitration. Nothing has
lifted organized labor in
20 popular esteem than obedience to
contracts of this sort and the resultant
Industrial peace. To turn back on this
Dad of dignity, honor and self-re-
,pect would be most unwise.
Those laboring men who stand by
and Lynch are right and
hose who clamor against their diplo-
natic relations with employers are
wrong. 1t is black day for organized
abor whenever a blow is struck at
he sacredness of contracts or state
nanlike leadership. The greatest bat
lie that labor las to fight, after all,
8 the battle with the implacable and
lot-headed element in it's own hands.

Ell Paso Texas, April 2S.-The re.
turn of General Reyes to Mexico,
makes it necessary for the insurrec-
tos to insist that President Diaz
shall give the rebels stronger guar
antees Of security and liberality than
hitherto offered according to state
ment given out by provisional Presi-
dent Madero today.
The statement follows:
"The return to Mexico of General
Bernardo Reyes renders it necessary
that we shall ask President Diaz for
stronger guarantees of good faith
with references TO peace than we
have had. We cannot but view
with distrust the order which brings
back to our country one who cannot
further peace negotiations, but in
whom there lies elements of danger
to these negotiations.
"ln the minds of those lannliar with
Mclean politics an order which brings
General Reyes to Mexico is bound to
arouse questions as to the sincerity Of
the president in the present circum-
stances.
From military standpoint we do
not fear General Reyes, either on the
score Of his military attainments or
his prestige"
General Madero read the statement
given out by DR.. Gomez at New Or
leans last night With interest, and he
said that he agrees with DR.. Gomez
that any treaty of peace must be ac-
ceptable to all Of the people of Mex
leo.
