WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s.--Pertinax,
the political expsft of "I,'Echc. d.
Paris" has lost his cane. There is CON
stefnation among the foreign CORE
spondents, for his cane and his monoc]e
are 20 rerrinax somewhat as locks were
70 samson. The event took place at a
tea given by one of the most distin
gaashed of the American correspond
enss Tor all the foreign press renre-
sentatives IN Washington. Several of
the guests left before the loss was dis :
covered. so that it was not possible
to search every one. His monocle is
still with him
Self-determination became an issue
IN the world again yesterday when
an American newspaper man introduced
ene representatives of one Corean
newspaper TO another. 1t turned out
that one of them was a o-Japanese
Corean and the other was pro-Corean
Corean. 1t is said that the event was
only little less cordial than the meet
ing of a British Conservative and 4
Sim Fein leader.
Premier BRAND was surprised BY a
delegation OF newspaper men to-day.
who insisted that he had appointed 5
o'clock to receive them. There was
CONSERVATION III the French press sec
tIon. rs no one, including NJ BRAND,
knew anything of this appointment
The Premier received them, neverthe-
less, and started the interview by ask
Ing how the word got around that he
would see them, and saying, m the
most meticulous French that it was
news TO him that he was to give an
interview. Don't you think he asked
the first newspaper man to enter the
room, that | should have something to
say about fixing a rendezvous ?" And
as the American hesitated in an embar-
rassed manner NJ. BRAND shrugged his
shoulders and added: at seems to me
that if I am to give you a rendezvous l
should at least be told about it before
hand
M. BRAND has the traditional French
horror of draft. AS the newspaper
men entered the room he closed the
window-it was nearly 80 in the shade
outdoors-and looked comfortable and
cool. while the Americans, one after
another. began TO wipe their foreheads
and edge toward the door
Any one writing the Mirrors of the
conference should not fail to note that
M. BRAND is fond OF cigarettes and
candy. AS he talked to the correspond
ents to-day he consumed three Gig
arettes, leaving only short butts. The
process was deliberate. He stood be-
fore his table, on which was very
large fat box of candy-it must have
been at least -pounder-and
slowly puffed as he discoursed at con-
siderable length about the affairs of
the world in general and of France in
particular.
BRAND possesses the most perfect
voice OF any man at the conference.
It has rich, melodious quality, ring
ing and vibrating even when talking in
a small room He speaks no English,
but enunciates his French with the

$245. 787 Estate Tax

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 1s.-In an
opinion handed down to-day by Federal
Judge Arthur L. Brown. Collector OF
Internal Revenue Frank A. Page, of
Rhode Island, is enjoined and re-
strained from collecting s245, ,7s7. ST

payment. Payment before February

! most perfect precision and talks with
great simplicity, choosing his words
with distinction, and expressing his
thoughts with clarity and directness.
| With the art of speech which only the
most gifted French orators possess he
! takes particular pains to give the exact
shade of meaning which is in his mind.
SO perfect is his diction that even
those of the American correspondents
who hardly know any French find it
possible to follow the general trend of
his remarks.
Chary and bashful at first about pub
iicity, the British have now adopted
the American system of receiving the
newspaper men and submitting to q
rapid fire of questions. Every day they
put a new delegate on the rack, which
, makes life full OF variety and interest
for the correspondents, but proves to
be veritable ordeal for the men who
are interviewed. To face hundred of
! the keenest newspaper men in the
world, American, British and foreign,
and answer discreetly a hundred shrewd
questions requires a nimble wit and a
staid disposition.
Sir Robert Borden. former Prime
Minister of Canada, is among those re
Gently submitted to the ordeal. Except
for his title he might we'll pass for an
american, speaking English with only a
slight British accent. Curiously enough,
he also has a strongly marked Buffalo
'r." In fact he even pronounces the
IT" in the last syllable of the word
"umbrellan
His voice is deep and he talks we'll.
Next to BRAND he has probably the best
voice of any of the delegates who have
so far spoken. Mr. Balfour is more
polished orator, but Sir Robert has a
finer note.
Sir Robert shares the prevailing
style of long hair. His is not as flow
ing as NJ. Brands nor even Mr. Bal
four's. But it is thick, whitish and
streaked with gold and an outstanding
characteristic Of his general appear
ance. His eyebrows are heavy and
rather dark. and under them are a pair
of steely eyes, through which he looks
feariessly at his questioner. Through
out the entire fifteen minutes of his
interview, Sir Robert played with the
case of his glasses, tapping it con-
stantly on the table
just after the open meeting of the
conference on Saturday, as the crowds
were coming out of the D. A. R. build
ing, Sergeant Woodtill, his many med
ais OH his chest and his uniform neatly
pressed, stood with his heels together
and his hat in his hand talking to Sen
ator and Mrs. New. of Indiana. A light
rain was falling, and as they talked. a
small man with an umbrella came I'D
behind the sergent and stood respect
fully watching them. Several minutes
passed, and at last the Senator finished.
whereupon the gentleman with The
umbrella stepped up to the sergeant.
$! want to congratulate you and
shake you by the hand,' said the man
with the umbrella.
The sergeant politely acknowledged
his salutatior. and as the man shyiy
turned to go, he added to the sergeant:

Nothing could contribute more TO
