APPROVE
NEW TARIFF LAW
EFFORTS MADE TO STOP CRlTl-
cIsM BY THOSE WHO OPPOSE
THE RECENT LEGISLATION.

Paris. Dec. 5.--Adverse comment
in both France and the United States
on the effect of the new American
tariff law on the trade Of the two
countries had led the French foreign
office to authorize Daniel Abel Cheval-
ly, chief Of the bureau for American
affairs at the foreign Office, to give ex-
preston Of the governments view OF
the situation. M Chevally did this in
an informal statement to Myron r. Her
rick, the United States ambassador, as
follows:
"You know personally what is the
feeling and responsible opinion in this
country toward yourself, your presi-
dent and the United States. Nothing
in the world can prevail against it.
"As regards commercial interests,
the new tariff, although it has needed
and still needs friendly discussion, has
not produced any bad effect on the
commercial relations OF the United
States and France. Although the
United States sell much more to
France than 1t buys, the expectations
from France to the United States have
grown by nearly 100 per cent In the
last five years and the imports by so
per cent. No market is more worthy
of attention from the United States
than the French market and this Is
reciprocal.
above all it must be borne in mind
that unreasonable customs regulations
will only serve the commercial rivals
OF the two countries. Fortunately
America and France are unwilling to
be maneuvered from inside against
each other"

Exeter, Eng, Dec. 5.-Mrs. En-
incline Pankhurst, the suffragetse
leader, to said today to be In
state Of collapse, having started
both a hunger and thirst strike
since her arrest on board the Ma
jestic yesterday.
London, Dec 5.-The threat of the
militant suffragettes to resort to vio-
lent methods of revenge for the arrest
Of their leader, Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
hurst was put into effect this morning
with the destruction of mansion at
Wemyss Bay, Scotland; several at
tempts to destroy letters by pouring
acid into mail boxes here and numer-
GUS isolated cases Of window smash
ing. Moreover, it was stated the wom-
en- had planned to do something SEN
sational within the next twenty-four
hours and the police everywhere kept
q strict watch.
In the meantime Mrs. Pankhurst re-
NAMED In Exeter jail, the authorities
not having decided to remove her to
Holloway. She has already COM
monCeQ munger SlTihe.
Passengers of the Majestic, on which
Mrs. Pankhurst made the voyage, told
today of the indignation Of the trav-
elers at being detained for over an
hour in Plymouth harbor in order to
enable the police to outwit the suf-
fragettes who planned to rescue Mrs.
Pankhurst. AS one American put it
"all this to arrest one little woman"
The English press also Is inclined to
sneer at the elaborate police plans.
The Manchester Guardian remarks:
There was an absurd disproportion
between the actual danger of disorder
of rescue and the plans of the author
ities."
The Westminster Gazette says:
1T is absurd to describe the arrest
Of Mrs. Pankhurst as triumph for the
police"

IN HANDS OF JURY

opposing argument in the Volo rail
riding case, presented the two sides Of
the story to the jury here today and a
verdict was expected by night.

women defendants moved by malice
and envy, placed Mrs. John Richardson
against whom gossip had been directed
for months, astride rail and capped
the performance by dumping her into
a mill pond.
AS the defense presented the story
it was rather good natured chari-
veri in which the rail, actually a part
Of the demonstration was not used as
a mount for Mrs. Richardson.

Villa returned today from the vicinity
of Chihuahua City without having en-
tered the state capital, to the town of

Should he decide to travel by way of
Juarez, Carranza would have to pass

south, after his conference with Car
rama, to win additional victories
through further desertions by federal
bands, many of whom have been iso-
lated and without pay for weeks.
