RUSSIAN JEWS IN FRANCE
IN DIFFICULT POSITION

PARIS, June 2S.-Russian Jews who
are residents Of France are in a diff
cult position. Most of them are po-
Ntical refugees and as such are un-
able to return to Russia. Since they
are not naturalized French subjects,
they are unable to serve in the French
army, but the police regulations pro-
vide that il they are subject to mill
tary duty they must render it.
In this connection the Petite Parisien
publishes a statement from the min
istry Of the interior and the project of
police. which says: IF through their
own volition they are not serving any
where. their place is in the strangers
concentration camps. AS every one in
France does duty, no privileges can
exist for Russian Jews"

REDUCTION
IN NAVY YARD WAGES
Secretary Daniels Says Decrease Was
Necessary Under Terms of Ap-
preparation Bill.
Employees Resolve to Present Case
to the President if Department
Action Is Unfavorable.

Secretary Daniels this afternoon gave
hearing to N. P. Alias. president of the
International Association Of Machinists.
and explained why he had issued orders
for slight reduction in the wage
schedule at the Washington navy yard
beginning next Thursday.
He had no discretion in the matter, and
had taken the action with personal regret,
he said, as he always favored giving an
increase of wages wherever it is
possible. He said that congress
had appropriated $4,000 ito pro-
vide for the increase of the wage
scale Of the mechanics at the Washington
navy yard and at the proving grounds
at Indian Head" Such appropriations, he
irg June 80, 1914, and June 80, 1915.
Cost of Living as Factor.
LAS. however" said Mr.. Daniels, mo
investigation had been made of the cost
of living at Indian Head, and as no rep
resentative of that place was on the
board. 1t was decided originally that
the employees there were not to be in
cluded in the increase, and the total
amount was given to the Washington
yard employees, making an increase of
7.S per cent in the wage of each en-
ploye. as nearly as this could be done
in accordance with law.
THE same amount was included in
the naval appropriation act for the
fiscal year beginning July l, 1915, but
the report Of the naval committee made
it mandatory that the Indian Head en-
ployes receive equal benefit with those
of the navy yard
1T has therefore become necessary
to revise both wage schedules reduc-
it.cr ante
the, men at the navy yard from 7s to
IL and increasing the wage of en-
ployes at Indian Head 10 per cent
This necessarily Slightly reduces the
pay of most of the employees at the
Washington yard. but, in accordance
with the expressed intention of Con-
gress. gives to the Indian Head en-
ployes the same opportunity to share
in the $4,000 increased appropria-
ton
Appropriated for Both Places.
to make the change in the wage scale,
but on consulting Mr. Padgett, chair
man Of the naval affairs committee, he
was informed that the appropriation of
$4,000 was intended for the mechan-
les at Indian Head as well as for those
at the Washington navy yard, and must
be divided between them as speci6caIIv
provided by the act of Congress.
Employees Make Protest.
At a mass meeting of navy yard en-
ployes held yesterday afternoon in Ma
val Lodge Hall. 4th street and Pennsvl-
vanta avenue southeast, formal pro-
tests were made against the proposed
reduction of wages. 1t was decided to
take the matter to the President un-

on account of the numerous complaints
of improper trade practices, all of

Thaw Loses q Point.
Thaw's counsel lost a point at the
outset today when Justice Hendrick
decided in favor Of the state an argu-
ment as to whether the report Of the
federal commission. headed by Gen.
streeter. on Thaw's sanity should be
added in evidence. Upon this report
Thaw was admitted to bail in New
Hampshire.
The state commended that Federal
Judge Aldrich, in appointing the COM
mission, had instructed the members to
be dangerous person to the COM
if admitted to bail. The state
argued that the broad question Of
Thaw's sanity was not involved In the

was called to the stand.
Gen. Streeter described the commits
sion's examination of Thaw, who was
asked. he said, to tell Of his escape
from Matteawan, but was reluctant at
first to do so.
Thaw then drew a rough sketch OF
Matteawan and went into tho details
of the matter, describing life at Mat
teawan and telling of the various ex-
to determine his sanity. He also had
related in detail the shooting of Stan

led up to 1t. "Thaw said that immsdi-

Difference Pointed Out.

To obtain the favorite son, indorse-
ment for the presidential nomination,
however. is long shot short Of get
ting the nomination at the hands of the
republican national convention, the
politicians say. and there are many
considerations to which Mr. Burton
must give prayerful attention for the
next few months. Some of them may
occur to him on his western trip.
Mr.. Burton is declared to have made
one adroit move already, which will
presidential aspirant His South Ameri-
can visit is said to have attracted the
attention of big business" which is
supposed to be getting ready to take a
prominent. if not a dominent, part in
the selection of the republican candi-
date for President.
Mr.. Burton's friends say that the re-
suit of his tour in South America and
the affiliations established will bring
him closer to the business interests
and dissipate the impression sought to
be conveyed In some quarters that he
is only the student and philosopher
and not In practical touch with busi-
ness.
His Views of Trade Prospects.
If the manufacturers show their usual
energy they will be able to gain a
large share of the South American
trade. according to Mr. Burton. His
trip through South America enabled
him to gain a first-hand view of the
commercial problems involved in the
exchange between the two continents
The trade problem" he said, sis
much more complicated that at first
appears. 1 have talked with many
Americans in the southern republics
and all of them said it would be impos-
sible for us to compete with European
countries-Germany and England, for
instance. They said the manufacturers
of these countries are able to furnish
exactly the articles the South Ameri-
cans want at the right prices. Again.
the consumers in many instances do
not want anything except Of the cheap
est variety. Emitted States manufac-
turers have not made specially Of
that sort of trade.
LAS l said before. there must also be
better mail and telegraphic communi-
cation between the Americas. Cable
charges between Rio and New York are
so cents word. while it is only IS
cents a word between New York and
London. There is room for improve
ment there"
