CAN'T RISK TARIFF WAR FHEMH ACTIOV IX. KAISIXG I)ITV NOT ALARMING. Imposes .Maximum Kates on Ameri can isooils, but Will Have to Hak Down. WASHIXGTON. Oct. 19. Government officials here are not disposed to regard the action of France in deciding to as sess the maximum rate of duty against all imports from the Lnueo. omies on evidence of her intention to enter into a tariff war with this Government. On August 7 last President Tatt. in pur suance of the provisions of section 4 of .k,. iariir :n t iruve formal notice to France. Switzerland and Bulgaria that the I'nited States commercial aBreeiueuio with them would be terniinaieu on ber 31 of this year. France more than any miiei mm..... in Europe lias discriminated nsaiu i.n.ririn nrnduits. Germany gives to tho I'nited States her minimum rates on about 95 per cent of our exporianons uuu ,i,. ..nnntrv France, however, has charged this Vountry her maximum rates on all our exportation wun me e..--tion of a very few articles enumerated in section 3 of the Dingley tariff. The effect of having to pay the United States maximum rate would undoubtedly be to put France to a tremendous dis advantage as compared with practically all other European nations no...-..... merican goods.

ANARCHIST, SAYS RIDGEWAY Ills Wife Denies Charge and Saya He Is Peace-Loving Socialist. Labor Unions May Enlist in Ills Defense. LOS ANGELES. Oct. 19. Expressing the belief that Guiterrex de Lara is to be made the "Ferrer of Mexico," if he is deported to that country on the charge that he is an anarchist and an immi grant, the Socialists of this city, num bering several hundred, today determined to come to his aid. An effort Is being made to enlist the labor unions in De Lara's cause, and steps are being taken to hold a mass meeting the latter part of this week. The prisoner knows nothing of these move ments on his behalf, as he is being held incommunicado in the county jail. Says De Lara Is Anarchist. T.nmi(rraHnn Tnsivicror RideWaV today stated that the representations he has made to Washington were Dasea on in formation furnished him by the Los Angeles poller, who arrested De Lara n rrawifnt Tuft's nnnparance i i,; fii- huh rpimiKfd him immedi ately after the President left for Arizona. The Hearing will Degm jiumioj Mr. Ridgeway. "The man claims to be a Socialist and v,rt itt i,nn..-H with lieincr an anarchist," said Mr. Ridgeway today. "I do not know what the W ashington ornciais win uu i -gardlng the evidence or how they will differentiate between the two cults. If De Lara can establish a residence of three years in the United States and show that he is not an anarchist, he will not be deported." De Ura is without funds and the So cialist organizations of the city opened a subscription for his benefit. Attorneys Meilly and Holston will act for him at the hearing on Monday. Friends of de Lara assert that iha i-nitori Atntes Government can not prosecute him as an alien as he has been in this country more than three years. His recent return to Mexico with an American magazine wilier tr get material for a story on "Barbarous Mex ico." he asserts, was but temporary; he claims he can be held now as an alien only on technical grounds. Peaee-Loving Socialist, Says Wife. The wife of De Lara, an American woman whom he recently married. Is greatly exercised over her husband's po sition and fears he will be returned to Mexico and put to death. Her husband, she savs. is a Socialist and of the type of thousands of American Socialists, op posed to violence of any character. "Mv husband has been in the United States more than three years." said Mrs. De Lara. "He made only brief business trips out of California since first coming here He is peace-loving and quiet, and his verv soul recoils asainst violence of anv sort, most of all against the assas sination of public officials and all others.' De I-ara is' held by the immigration authorities incommunicado. His wie, among others. Is refused permission to visit him. A dispatch from Washington, D C , states that the reason all inter views with De Lara are denied Is be cause the immigration authorities there fear possible international complications.

When Arlington Club Removes From Old Home, N. F. Sargent Will Fit up Unique Lodging Place. The building at present occupied by the Arlington Club, at the northwest corner of West Park and Alder streets, owned by the Thorn pson estate, is to be convert ed into a bachelors' hotel when the new building under construction for the Ar lington Club is completed. The new hotel is to be held under lease Dy isicnoias r. Sareent. proprietor of the Perkins Grill. The lease is to cover a period of ten years. Mr. Sargent does not make puniic tne consideration under which the leai-e :s to be taken. This lease will go into effect at once upon the removal of the Arlington Club from the present quarters. The time set ha been January 1. but it is now thought possible the new building will not be ready until May 1, 1910, and It tnis is me case the change will not be made until that time. Mr. Sargent will retain hta lease on the Perkins Hotel Grill, which was beau tifully fitted up for him a few years ago. Thd new hotel, which will bear the name airrent's." will be a decided innovation. The three upper floors will be converted into bedrooms for bachelors only. There are to be no women connected with the in stitution, but married men whose families are out of town for the Summer or Win ter as the case may be. will also be al lowed to become gucots of the house. The second floor, now occupied In part by a reading-room, cardroom and library, will be remodeled and made into bedrooms. There will be no general rooms afrove the first floor other than a small library and smoking-room on each of the upper floors. The T.rst floor is to be given over entire, lv to dining-room purposes. Here Mr. Sargent will put in an elaborate grill, following the Moorish llnea or architec ture in the work. The main entrance of the building will open into a large grill room for both men and women. A bal cony will be constructed at one end for music. On each side of the main dining room, but opening into it, will be two smaller grill-rooms. The room on the south end of. the building will be a dining-room for men only, while the other end will be set aside for women only. A feature of the service to be given to roomers in the new hotel will be a num ber of valets on each floor. Mr. Sargent declares he will have a service hitherto unheard of in Portland. He will have a number of Japanese boys, who will give their personal attention to the roomers on their floors, taking care of their clothing, ministering to their various wonts, and treating them as they would be treated at home by their own servants. The work of remodeling will; according to Mr. Sarsrent, cost in the neighborhood of $15,000. This work will start at once upon the moving away of the Arlington Club, and will be rushed to completion.
