Republican A. p. Leased Wire]


 PARIS, Feb. 1S.-Ways and means
 for increasing commerce between the
 United States and France and the
 business opportunities in France for
 American firms during and after the
 war were outlined to a committee of
 the chamber of deputies today by
 Maurice Damour secretary of appro-
 priations of the chamber of deputies, who recently headed French indus
 trial commission to the United States. The committee listened attentively for three hours to NJ. Damour's mar rative of the committees trip throughout the United States and af- terward M. Damour was received by Premier Briand, Minister of Finance Ribot and Minister of Commerce Gle mentel, all of whom expressed pleas ure at the efforts that had been
 made for a closer commercial un derstanding with the United States. The premier and the members of his cabinet have agreed to do every thing necessary to strengthen the business relations between the two countries.
 M. Damour arranged today the itin- erary of the American trade commits sion, which intends to visit France in the spring. Besides visiting large business cities, ten days will be spent by the commission in the war ruined districts, where the Americans will have a chance to see some of the things France will require to restore her cities. Some of the firms whose factories were in the districts occu- pied by the Germans already have begun to build plants elsewhere. M. Damour said,s and this even now has | resulted in demands for some supplies which American firms furnish. What is needed, also, M. Damour said, is a number of American indus
 trial architects who can design plants
 on American lines.
 M. Damour told the committee or l deputies of a great number of things | that will be needed, and which France will buy from the United States and | in return, he said, France could sell | to the Americans toys, pOrcelains chemical products and various other articles. The industrial and commer- l Cial exposition that it is planned to | hold in Paris in the summer and to participation in which Americans 1 have been admitted. NJ. Damour said
 would be of great aid in furthering | trade relations.

tion in Lower California. On that con viction they were sentenced to terms of 23 months each on McNeil's Island, Wash. Following their conviction the police here were called upon to dis perse mob of sympathizers who con gregated in front of the federal build ing.
 Prior to their arrest in 1912 the Ma gon brothers are said to have served sentences in the Arizona state peni- tentiary at Florence in connection with their revolutionary propaganda.
 The editorial set forth in the first count of the respective indictments was published December IS, last, and reads as follows:
 Wilson is in connivance with Car ranZa because the old sharper has promised Wilson that he would favor Americon capitalists in Mexico. That is to say, Carranza has promised to de- liver the Mexican people, tied hand and foot, to the same rapacious Ameri- | can plutocracy that had Diaz en- Slaved."
 The editorial quoted in the second | count was published September 25, | 1915, and was devoted largely to an ap- peal to MeXicanS to refuse to surren | der their arms to the Carranza gov ernment.
 The third and longest editorial. upon which the third count is based, was printed November 6, 1915. It urged at tacks against the chiefs and officers of the defacto government of Mexico
 We, the disinherited, must rid our. selves of those who are in our way If we can, by hook or crook, the sam, as we get rid of the tiger, as we an. nihilate the rattlesnake, as we crust the tarantula," one portion of i reads.

NEW YORK Feb. 1S.-E G. Grace of Bethlehem, Pa, was elected pres ident of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora tion at a meeting of the directors here today. He succeeds in that position Charles NJ. Schwab, who remains at the head of the corporation as chairman of the board.
 MT. Schwab announced today that the purchase price of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, recently acquired by the Bethlehem Corporation, aggregat- ed approximately 31,900,000.
 The acquisition of the Pennsylvania company, MT. Schwab said, was the outcome of the determination reached by the Bethlehem Company some time ago to add to it's output of BeSsemer steel products and other general steel lines. For several reasons, he declared it seemed wiser to accomplish these enlargements by acquiring a plant al ready in operation, rather than to await the enlargement of the plant at Bethlehem.

As the representative, therefore. of the in- terests of the Teutonic allies, the American embassy is entrusted with the task of inspecting detention camps in Russia.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-If the gov ernment orders the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad to get rid of it's steamship lines, the rail road probably would provide such an adequate rail service for freight that independent water lines could not compete. in the opinion of J. H. Gardner. vice president of the New England Steamship company. a New Haven subsidiary. MT. Gardner was witness at a hearing begun here tonight before Interstate Commerce Commissioner Judson C. Clements, on the New Haven application to retain control of it's steamship lines under the Panama canal act.
 Continuation of the New Haven's s control, Mir. Gardner declared means public convenience and commercial advantages for New England, and will not reduce or exclude competition by water by any independent lines At the ports where the New Haven's boats touch, he said, there was plen- ty of wharfage room for other lines if they cared to compete, and he as serted that the New Haven was do- ing nothing to prevent the establish ment of independent service.
 Suppose the water lines were cut loose and each stood on It's own merits?" asked Commissioner Gle ments, would there then not be greater competition?"
 Mir. Gardner replied that 70 per cent of the New England freight shipments is interchangeab ble between boat and rail lines and that if ships were opera ted independent of joint control. the railroad instead of fur nishing cooperation. would try to get the long haul and gradually dry up the Long Island sound lines. He declared the New Haven would equip itself to handle this freight by rail. providing a competition which might force competing water lines to the wall. The present boat service of the New Haven he described as 100 per cent perfect and declared that divorcement would mean service that would be unstable
 Would it not benefit the public for an independent boat line to stim- ulate the New Haven to provide su : perior rail service?" asked A. H. Elder, representing the commission. Is not joint operation preventing that very competitive service?"
 'I do not think that it dOes,' re- piled the witness. The boat service is now so good that the rail lines cannot compete"
