likely falling short of this figure.
The ablishment of fixed posts in

only gives every section of the state

This proposed fixed post system
which the department is now busily
working out, permits the arrival of
an adequate force OF state police at
the scene OF any crime or disturb
ance from within few minutes to
three hours after the call for troop

officers in every locality will give
greater power for the prevention of
crime or rioting than the state has
yet conceived.

were Miss Sally Beecher. niece of Mr..

result Of the war. the German dye syndi-
cate is as rich and powerful as ever.
Vast amounts of dyes and dyestuffs have
been accumulated in recent years. and
their factories are now running at full
time In the production of others. The
whole huge German dye industry, ca
pable before the war of supplying the
entire demand of the world. is now COM
bined in a single immense trust organ
lied on purpose to fight Its way back
TO the former German world monopoly.
Utterly INSCRIPTIONS as the German
syndicate was before the war when It's
supremacy was uncontested. practising
ruthlessly every form of corrupt and un-
fair competition known to commerce, 1t
is inevitable that in the almost imme-
date future. when instead of safe SUI
premacy it faces possible destruction. It
will attack all competitors with reckless
disregard of business decency. That at

In regard to the much discussed
American valuation system in which the
new import duties would be based, the
report says:
Under the new system every kind Of
imported merchandise will be appraised
at Its value in the United States. 1t is
now proposed to get away from foreign
sources OF value as statutory require
ments. but to retain such values. prices
and costs as aids in determining value
In the United States.
The wholesale selling price in the
open markets of the United States of
comparable and competitive domestic
products where there are such Is made
the dutiable value. In cases where
there are no such products eppra!sing
officers will ascertain the value of the
imported merchandise for sale. whether
or not there shall be an actual sale. for
consumption or uss In the United States.
The value in the United States of prior
importations of the same or similar
kinds of goods would be factor in sucn
cases in determining the value of the
particular importation undergoing ap-
praisal."

PENROSE IN FAVOR
OF U. S. DISARMING
Pennsylvania Senator Would
Make Move Irrespective of
Other Nations.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-Senator Pen
rose Is in favor of American disarma-
ment, irrespective OF conferences with
other nations.
In an interview he declared he did not
believe there could be another war in
the near future in which this country
would be involved. He called the fear
of possible trouble with Japan a "buga-
boo of the Imagination and talk of
another war idle"
The Senator was asked about the
so-called Japanese scare" and the pos
sibility of successful disarmament con-
ference
II don't think there Is anything in the
Japanese scare he said. II cannot
lima gine anything which would mar our
relations with Japan. Both nations are
mutually dependent on each other in
many ways and particularly in trade and
commerce. In my opinion the question
is largely n bugaboo of the imagination
which needn't cause any one concern.
"As for disarmament, favor the gen.
eral principle of disarmament and do so
regardless of any agreement or under
standing with other nations. 1T is well
known that I have for some time fav-
ored a large measure of disarmament
on the part of the United States
mo one by any stretch OF the imagi-
nation can picture another war during
the present generation and perhaps dur
Ing the next. And no nation in the world
desires TO attack the United States or
can do so successfully. We will have to
pay the bill of damages for the recent
war before any nation can talk of an
other. This Is an era when IL would be
well for common sense to prevail. The
world now only wants to get back to the
ways OF peace and the profitable re-
sum pt'on OF manufacture and commerce.
1t Is going to tax the wealth OF every
nation to the limit for q good while to
carry the present war legacies. How
idle I, Is to talk Of another war"
ITO Senator then was asked II he
thought n conference of the great ma
tions was necessary to gain this end

the results OF which cannot be foreseen."
The economic experts OF the Paris
Chamber OF Commerce spent whole
month examining the terms of the Amer
lean emergency tariff act and the dump
ing bills and insist that they will raise
the present duties in some cases as high
as 500 per cent.
Although these increases are excep-
tionally heavy they must not be consid-
cred prohibtive to our trade considering
present prices. but the disquieting fea
ture OF the bill ls that which on the pre-
text of preventing us from falsifying the
value of our products and operations by
which foreign articles might be sold
cheaper to American importers than to
other importers contains propositions
which are absolutely vexatious." aays

COSTA RIGA CANCELS
OIL LAND CONCESSIONS

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica. July 6.-Conces-
sions for oil lands and for the explors
tion of Costa Rican territory for other
subterranean deposits which were re-
Gently granted. have been cancelled by
the Government. The reason assigned
for this action is that men who received
concessions had engaged in speculation
with them
All holders of concessions have been
warned Immediately to cease speculating
with territory granted by the Govern
ment. Among concessions granted by
the Government recently were several to

ment will ask Washington for some sort
of guarantees and explanations regard
ing this in the near future. the report
declares that the American desire for
inspection lis absolutely inadmissible
and the French Government must make
known that it will not be permitted in
French territory"
While the French merchants and ex-
porters are fatty refusing to allow such
intervention in their business affairs. the
problem is considered to be more serious
by several American bank branches
here. They are not entitled to refuse
to allow the inspection on grounds Of
territorial sovereignty. and II they open
the records of checks passed through
them for purchases from America they
would probably lose important connec-
tions with French exporters.
