TIRED OF
BEING WICKED

Paris, February 5.-(Suecial.) Paris is
tired of being called the wickedest city
in the world. A great movement backed
by 70 societies and headed by the veteran
Senator Beranger, has been started to
fight determinedly against the flood of
filthy literature and immoral pictures in
undating the city.
Photography must be wiped out in
France Immediately, is the slogan.
Paris cannot afford to have its fair
name smirched by the insults openly Of
fered to visitors in the streets. 1t cannot
afford to expose the young generation to
the pernicious influences of immoral art
1t cannot afford to become the catch-all
OF the dirty scum cast out by other ma
tons" a
Today your correspondent visited SEN
ator Beranger and asked him what the
strongest force was that opposed the
purifying movement
Public Indifference" replied he, with a
show of indignation.
Every Frenchman believes that 1t does
not concern his own family and shrugs
his shoulders.
I'VE already have laws prohibiting the
sale of indecent literature and unclean
works of art. The police have recently
seized thousands of cinematogra phic films
and hundreds of thousands of pictures
and postcards. We must also have laws
against the manufacture of such articles.

CONVICTED MEN ARE
FOUND INNOCENT

Berlin, February 5.-(speciaI.)- dis
covery that five men, who were promi-
nently connected with a socialist organ
ization and who have been 16 years in a
penitentiary serving a sentence, are inno-
cent of the offense for which they were
condemned, has deeply stirred public
opinion in Germany.
The men were sentenced in 1895 on the
charge of perjury. They were condemned
largely on the evidence of two police Of
fcials who swore that the men had tes-
titled falsely regarding the conduct of
the police at a meeting of worlkingmen
near Essen.
1t now develops that the evidence of the
police officials was perjury. The case
placed a difficult suggestion to the ju-
dicial authorities. Under the German
law the men are entitled to heavy dam
ages, and the courts must fix the amount
due. The decision comes in OPPORTUNITY
for the socialists. who are citing the fate
of the accused men as an example OF the
Kind of justice administered by the Prus-
sian courts.

POSTAL BANKS HAVE
$4,000 DEPOSITS
Depositors Mainly Foreign
Born Americans
HITCHCOCK rs PLEASED
System Is simple for Depositors and
Clerks-It Has Passed the Expert
mental Stage-Extension
May De Made

Washington, February 5.-''If the neces-
sary appropriation were available would
establish postal savings banks tomorrow
In 800 additional cities and towns of the
United States" This statement was
made tonight by Postmaster General
Hitchcock In view of reports thus far re-
ceived concerning the first months oper-
alton of the postal savings system. The
reports are most gratifying to Mr. Hitch
cock and to the other officers of the pos
tai savings service. They are regarded
as demonstrating that the new system
has already passed the experimental
stage.
The certificate of deposit plan. which is
an innovation in the transaction of pos
tai savings business, is shown to be ad-
nsirably adapted to It's purpose. 1t is
found to be readily understood by deposit
tors and easily handled by postmasters
The total deposits in the As existing pos
tai banks for the month of January will
amount to approximately $4,000. This Is
an average of about 1920. Assuming that
this average will be maintained through
out the year, the aggregate of annual
deposits will be close to $4,000. This,
too, will be the situation in the small Of
fees where the banks now are in opera
ton. It Is assumed by the officers of the
system that the deposits will be CORE
spondingly greater when the service is ex-
tended to frst-class offices. The average
smount of deposits being received at each
office as indicated by the January re-
turns Is larger than the corresponding
average for the British system of postal
savings repositories in 1908, the most sue
cessful year in the history of that sys-
tenn.
A large majority of the depositors in
January were foreign born Americans,
many of whom have been in the habit of
sending their savings to their native
countries for deposit. An important re-
suit of the system therefore is to dimin-
ish the outflow from the United States
of such funds
In view of the successful operation of
the new system during its first month,
Postmaster General Hitchcock has recon-
mended to the Congress the appropria-
tion of 100000 to be Immediately avail
able for the extension of the postal saw
ings system to considerable number of
postoffices, the patrons of which are
clamoring for the new banks

TO PROVE USE OF
WAR AERoPLANES

Washington, February 5.-Whether ex-
i,eriments with aeroplanes along the Mex
lean border where fighting Is now going
on shall be conducted by the signal corps
of the United States army will be &C.
termined tomorrow by Brigadier General
James Allen, chief of that branch of
the service and Major General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff OF the army.
General Allen said today that both Gem
eral Wood and himself were of the opin-
ion that the present fighting in Mexico
would afford an excellent opportunity to
see how much information aero scouts
could gather. Secretary of War Dickin-
son also is favorable to such tests being
made
While General Allen indicated that the
decision tomorrow doubtless would be i'll
favor of making the proposed tests he
said no orders had been issued to air
scouts to start for the border. Com
lrodore John Barryan of the United
states aeronautical reserve will be here
tomorrow to consult with Generals Wood
and Allen. He>will issue the orders to a
half dozen or more members of the re-
serve to start full speed for Ell Paso IL
it is finally decided to use the aeroplanes.

IRON AND STEEL
SHOW INCREASE

New York, February 5.-The steel COM
panies are inclined to make much of the
fact that mill operations have increased
from to 10 per cent since the low point
In December, not taking into account the
dip due to the recent holidays. On Mon
day, February s. the Steel corporation
will have So per cent of capacity ac-
tive; last week the furnace output was
slightly over SO per cent against 46
per cent at the beginning of the year.
The larger new orders and specifications
have permitted the increased activity
The sheet and tin plate mills are operat-
ing slightly under so per cent, the wire
mills a little over so per cent, and the
tube and bridge shops about rs per cent.
Orders and specifications for wire have
recently increased to a little over 5000
tons per day.
Much of the increase in business has
come from export trade, including billets,
tin plate bars. rails wire and tin plate.
but from the standpoint of profit such
business is not to be paraded.
The railroad situation is somewhat
mixed. Rail orders last week aggregated
171.0O0 ton, including 10000 tons for ex-
port. The domestic contracts were placed
with the New Haven, Boston and Maine,
Michigan Central, I.ackawanna, Burling-
ton, Rick Island and Western Mary
land. Locomotive orders were very light
and inquiries for 5000 cars were with
drawn, but orders were placed for 1900
cars and 1000 more are to be constructed
at railroad shops.
Fabricated structural orders aggregated
about $500 tons, including 1900 tons for
Norfolk and Western railroad bridges.
The shops expect some larger orders
this month";
The official report Of the American Iron
and Steel association shows the output of
pig iron of all kinds In 1910 was 27,29s545
tons. The Steel corporation produced
57.4 per cent of the steel-malSing iron, or
43.2 per cent of all kinds.
The pig iron trade was conspicuous
only for dullness last week with few I'm
portant new inquiries in the market.

Tobacco Boycott Abandoned

Lexington, Ky, February 5.-Re-

county seats throughout Kentucky to.
day indicate that the plan to cut out
the growth of crop in 1911 tobacco
will be abandoned. 1t is stated here

assigned by the majority of the coun-

BILLS DIRECTED AGAINST

provides for the abolition of the back tax
commissioners.
The Judiciary committee considered the
latter bill Friday night, and as result
IL will be reported favorably in the house
Tuesday. The bill of Mulkey was di-
rected, It is said, against P. G.. Bow

will become law, because even should
they manage to get through the two
houses the belief Is strong that Cover
