PARIS, September II P).-The
French treasury, it now appears
likely. will instruct the customs au-
tnorities to admit goods leaving

Originally the new rates We're or
dered assessed on shipments leaving
the United States after August 81,
but 1t Is considered that adequate no
tice of the higher schedules. which
have been the subject of an exchange
between the United States and

The American and French govern

silence on the official negotiations In
the controversy arising out Of the
French criminatory tariffs against
American goods.
The French government is still
withholding from publication its note
of contemporaries to the America II
suggestion OF A new most -favored-na

Government is not expected to for
ward its reply until early next week

The American reply is being await

pected it today. He declared he would
express no opinion on its proposals
until it had reached him.
One Qualification of the situation has
been suggested by some observers that
it might be possible to impose an in
crease in duties on French products
under the flexible provisions of the
tariff act and then negotiate with
France for a reciprocal readiustment
Of rates down to the French minimum
rates as a limit of the French nego-

rates in the United States as his coun-
trys limit.
Has Double Column System.
The French tariff system is de-
scribed as what is known as the dou-
ble-column system, in which one
column represents minimum rates,
based upon the theory of equalization
of the manufacturing costs abroad
while the other column contains maxi
mum duties, decidedly in excess of the
lower rates. Under the Payne-Aldrich
act similar tariff system existed in

Cantonese Defeated

Shanghai, Feb. tI)-The shadow of the war god recoded somewhat from Shanghai today as the city re- ceived reports that the Cantonese army had been turned back by de- lending forces under the northern general. Pal Pao-Shan, and was left in retreat some 200 miles away.
 The result has been that the pro- posals for naturalization of the in- ternational settlement here and for oign plans for defense of the city in case of emergency became less press ing questions.
 Using the waterways west of Shanghai as his means of transpor- tation. General Pal. one of the lead CTS of Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang s forces. joined his troops with the main northern force in the 1enchow region Then. as the right wing of the northern army, he attacked, cap turing Chuchow, formerly held by the nationalists, and permitting the entire line to advance.
 The Nationalists retreated to Changshan, near the kiangsi prov ince border, retaining only few miles of Chekiang province territory.

ed that she tell where she bought it, but Judge Mangan objected and Judge filling sustained the objection.
 HowaIsl Murray of 52 Camp street testified that he is acquainted with Mir. and Mrs. Bartolucci and has been in their home various times and has had beer and wine to drink but he never bought any. On January o2 he was there and heard Mrs. Bartolucci refuse 10 sell wine to the agent" Murray recognized him and asked him if he had not work cd in the boiler room at Landers' factory some time ago. The agent replied affirmatively. Murray then told the woman to give the agent th2 wine.
 Murray saw TO money passed be- tween the agent and Mrs. Barto- lucci and if payment had been made for the wine he believed he would have observed it. The agent" ac- cordir to Murray. said he had be- come intoxicated on cider in a store on Arch street and he intended to heat some wine and drink it to offset the effects of the cider.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods re- called the agent" to the stand and agent replied that he had never seen Murray before he met him in Bartolucci's home and had not worked in Landers' factory in 22 years. He denied he had told Mrs. Bartolucci he was sick from drink ing cider.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods asked that husband and wife be convicted on two counts.
 They have been operating heavily in wine, he said. Murray came into court and lied MT. Woods said. The case against husband and wife is clear.
 Judge Mangan contended that there is absolutely no evidence to prove the reputation count. Officer Stadler admitted he has sent men to home to buy wine with out success. The fact that wine is given away is not unusual among Italians, Judge Mangan said. There is no evidence of guilt in either case, he contendcd.
 Judge Alling said there is no doubt in his mind that the wine was sold for S1.75. The most serious of advised Mrs. Bartolucci to make the sale after she had refused. still that 1oes not excuse her although it might be offered as a mitigating cir He discharged Bartolucci on both counts and discharged Mrs. Bartolucci on the reputation count.
