call I.aMs All Day.
Iv09 AXGEI.ES. March 22. Joseph Du
rand, 3. witness before the special grand
Jury which Is investigating charges made
figains ex-Mayor A." C. Harper and
oLaer ru-mhei-s of his administration, was
sent to jail today by Judge James- be
I'susj he refused, to answer questions
put to him by the grand Jury. The order
of Judj;e Jauies is that he be kept in
the custody of the Sheriff until - March
L'9. when he will be required to show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt of court.
Jjurand is alleged to be one of the
lieutenants of Nick Oswald, a ward pol
itician, who fled to Mexico upon the call
ing of the grand Jury with William Vet
ter, another of his lieutenants.
' Deals With "White Slave Trade.
The questions Durand refused to an
swer were in regard to the sums of
money transferred from Paris to local
banks. It is inferred that the grand
Jury is taking evidence to connect Os
wald with the illegal bringing of women
to this country for immoral purposes.
Information came to the District At
torney today that . Nick Oswald had re-
' turned from Lower California to Tia
J nana, just over the Mexican border,
Jifforts are being made to have him
extradited.
Edwin T. Earl, publisher of the Even
lng Express, was the first witness called
by the grand Jury.
Arguments on Recall.
Arguments in the matter of the in
junction asked for by the opponents of
the recall election to elect a successor
to Mayor Stephens, now temporarily oc
cupying .the Mayor's chair, were heard
today end tonight by Judge Bordwell.
It is expected that a decision will be
rendered tomorrow.
The courtroom was crowded to Its lim
its and a large number of people waited
outside unmble to gain admittance. Judge
John Works, representing the- Municipal
lv-ague, opened the arguments by filinsr
a demurrer to the petition, to which point
Jie spoke at length. Kred C. Wheeler.
the Socialist candidate for Mayor, was
represented by counsel, who notified the
f court that he was prepared to file an
. objection to the proceedings. City At
torney Hewitt presented an argument
against the Jurisdiction of the court.
The fact is that a factional fight has
.taken place, in which no party lines ''are
; drawn. Both Stephens and Alexander
Bte Republicans. Mayor Stephens insists
that he does not care to hold the office
of Mayor longer than March 26, and Is
.urging the election of Alexander. The
' anti-recall faction is opposed to Alex
ander and lilj supporters largely on per
sonal grounds.

MANILA. March 22. The Philippine
Assembly Is considering formally the tar
iff legislation now pending in Washing
ton. It is planned to take up the ques
tion tomorrow and to embody the views
of the Assembly, in a set of resolutions
which -will be forwarded to the Filipino I
representatives in Washington. It is ex- j
win oppose any action of Congress tend
ing In any way to alter the trade rela
tions between the Philippines and the
United States. It is manifest that a ma-'
Jority f the members of the Assembly
fear that closer trade relations will lead
to closer political relations, which will
interfere with the ultimate independence
of the islands. They also fear that the
losses to island revenue by free trade
would end the financial independence of
the Government and compel it to appeal
to be placed under the direct control of
Congress, thus lessening the Assembly
voice in. insular affairs.
PAYXE ARGUES TOR HIS BILL.
Ieclares It Is Both Revenue' and
Protective Measure.
WASHINGTON, March 22. The tariff
bill held full sway in the House today.
The measure waspromptly put before
the body immediately after It convened.
Payne of Mew -York, chairman of the
committee on ways and means, spoke for
four hours and ten minutes In explana
tion of the bill. Then, somewhat fa
tigued, he suspended until tomorrow. He
was subjected to a cross-fire of questions.
Payne, in speaking of the maximum
and minimum features of the bill, pre
dicted that France, Germany, and other
European countries would hasten so to
equalize their duties on American prod
ucts that they would derive the benefit
of the' minimum rates offered.

Extreme Demands, hut Cleni

PARIS, March 22. Although the
Chamber of Deputies today again sus
tained the Government's position with
reference to the strike of the postal
employes and several of the members
of the strike committee considered the
Government's terms amply satisfactory,
the hotheads at a big meeting: held
this afternoon succeeded in postponing
final action until tomorrow.
Not content with winning all the
substantial points for which they con
tended the militant strike leaders tried
to force the Government to a public
confession of defeat by the dismissal
of M. Simyan, who is extremely ob
noxious to the state employes.
Premier Clemenceau met a deputa
tion and said the Government would
undertake a settlement in a concilia
tory spirit, but that it must refuse to
bind itself with promises.
It Is the general opinion that the
strikers will emerge victorious and
that the government has saved its dig
nity in -refusing to rust M. Simyan.
This official has already been practic
ally eliminated. e had no share in
the recent negotiations and in the fu
ture Minister of Public Works Bar
thou will treat directly -with deputa
tions from the employes' associations.
Furthermore, the government agrees
to regard the whole affair as a "wave
of folly," and to wipe the indiscretions
off the slate; in other word3, to pun
ish no one.
The newspapers of Paris' are review
ing the strike movement as if It was
over. The Socialist papers claim a vic-
torv: the driver n in m-rt .vo-omc a va .

understanding, while the independent

Gag Rule Methods or Clark. Are Bit
terly Denounced His Lead
ership Idiotic. '
WASHINGTON. March 23. After hours
of bitter wrangling the Democratic mem
bers of the House, in a caucus that was
in session until after midnight, by an
overwhelming vote repudiated the Demo
cratic supporters of the Fitzgerald
amendments to the rules which were
adopted at the opening of the special
session' of Congress over the opposition
of Clark, the minority leader. The dis
cussion was one of the most bitter heard
in & Democratic caucus in years. A set
of rules to govern future caucuses was
adopted.
Fitzgerald spoke in defense of his ac
tion and was answered by Hardwick of
Georgia, who spared the feelings of no
one. Peters and Keliher of- Massachu
setts then denounced the ".gag rule"
manner In which .Clark had conducted
the fight for a change in the rules.
After adjournment. Fitzg-erald as
serted that the introduction and pro
posal of the declaration by the cau
cus was a manifestation of the same
idiotic leadership that has character
ized the Democratic party for fifteen
years, and that the Democratic mem
bers of the House, imagining that they
were the whole Democratic party, were
like the "three tailors of Tooley
street."
"Champ Clark ought to Have five

AERONAUTS MAY. BE DYING
(Continued Prom First Page.)
once felt certain they beheld the ill
fated balloon crashing to earth.
Captain Mueller the aeronaut In
charge of the balloon, always carried
a powerful electric flash lamp. .
Terrific Storm Conies.
Within a. few hours after the flight of
the America was begun a fierce storm
broke, unprecedented in severity In this
locality at the present season of the
year. Rain fell in torrents in the valleys,
and snow began to fall over the moun
tains, with a wind which reached
a velocity of 40 miles an hour at times,
creating a terrific blizzard. Throughout
the greater part of Saturday night and
all day Sunday the storm continued: and
again during last night and today snow
has continued to fall heavily in tils moun
tains, with torrents of rain in the low
lands. The belief that some tragic fate has
befallen the six men who formed the
party has led to the formation of many
relief expeditions into various parts of
the Sierra Madre Mountains, directly
over which the strong current drew the
balloon when it had reached an altitude
of but a few thousand feet.
Snowy Region In Path.
Mount Lowe, with an altitude of . 6100
feet, lies directly north of Pasadena, and
beyond in the second range is Mount
Wilson. 6500 feet high. Further to the
east .the peak of Old Baldy rises 10.000
feet and is capped with perpetual snow.
There are three distinct mountain ranges,
before the Mojave Desert is reached, 50
miles north of Pasadena.
If the balloon was able to sail over this
50-mile stretch of serried mountain chain
and come to earth on the Mojave Desert,
there is hope that the occupants of the
basket, after tramping many weary miles,
may be able to reach shelter, food and
safety. If the balloon was not able to
y
j slgs4' i
cross the Sierras, and was brought down
among the mountains, nothing but little
short of a miracle can save the men from
death '.by exposure and starvation.
At 3 o-'ciock this alternoon, two parties,
made up of hardy men, used to the moun
tains and knowing all of the trails. left
Pasadena and will search all night for
some trace of the missing men.-
Search Parties Out.
One party will go to Mount Lowe and
from there attempt to pass down the
snow-blocked trail leading north and cast I
and finally into the west fork of the San "
Gabriel River, near its head. This party j
is in charge of Phil Begue, a well-known '
hunter and mountaineer. The other
party of six, in charge of Kirk Rey
nolds, will go direct to Switzers Camp, on
the side of Mount Wilson, and. from there
will proceed at once into the west fork,
and fallow it. if possible, to a meeting
with fhe other party.
iiarlier today a party, in which was Roy
Knabenshue, tne weil-knownv aviator,
went to Alpine Tavern, near the- summit
of Mount Lowe, and search is now being
made from there into all of the adjacent
canyons. report from this party late
this afternoon stated that no trace of
the missing balloon had yet been round.
Through R. L. Carleton, chief of the
Government Forest Rangers on San Ga
briel Reserve, word has been sent to all
of the rangers to take the trails at once
and cover all of the mountainous district
possible during the night. The Elks'
Lodge- of Pasadena, two members of
which are among the missing party, will
send out an expedit.on tonight. -
A searching party is scheduled to leave
this city tonight in automobiles and pro
ceed as far into the foothills as may be
found poss..e. following the wagon trail
to Barley Flats.
. Relief Supplies Sent.
Deep snow covers the trails in places
and it is not probable that the party can
go far, but will be able to carry warm
clothing and provisions, which "can be
conveyed further into the mountain fast
nesses by men on foot.
It was the intention of Captain Mueller,
when the ascent was begun, to make but
a short flight and to seek a landing some
where along the foothills above Pasa
dena. He must have found this, impos
sible of accomplishment, owing ' to the
strong wind which sprang up unexpect
edly soon after the ascent, and in the
predicament in which he found himself, he
may have made the attempt to rise above
the storm and cross the mountains to the
desert beyond, a flight of nearly 80 miles.
But with no more ballast to sacrifice in
an effort to gain the desired altitude, the
chances are that he was blown by the
storm across the first range; and, being
unable to rise again . above the higher
peaks of the second range, was compelled
to make a landing during the furious
night, somewhere in the mountains.
What the fate of the members of the par
ty would be, should this conjecture prove
the correct one. may only be surmised,
but it is not probable that they can make
their way to safety unassisted.
Captain Mueller is the only experienced
aeronaut among the party. Beside "Cap
tain A. B. Mueller, the pilot, the party
included :
Lane C;- Gilliam, a prominent mining
man, formerly of Walla Walla, Wash.,
now of Hotel Maryland, Pasadena.
Richard Halstead, president and.man

Professor David Todd, of Amherst Col

periments and to obtain data concerning
the upper strata of air. Details of the
proposed flight have not been made pub
lic, but it is known thatsa monster bal
loon will be used, equipped with a steel

FRENCH "TARIFF UP
European Nation Plans Many
Increased Duties.
AMERICAN TRADE AFFECTED
XJnlted States Exports Hard Hit by
Proposed Schedules and Business.
Men Anxious to See What
Action Will Result.
"WASHINGTON. March 22. The atten
tion of American manufacturers will not
for the next few manths be entirely fo
cused upon the proposed tariff revision
In this country. France proposes to re
vise Its tariff, and in the changes to be
made the United States Is vitally inter
ested. If the proposed French tariff bill
should be enacted into law in its present
shape, American trade would be Injuri
ously affected.
Some Interesting facts in regard to the
new measure are prepared by N. I. Stone,
tariff expert of the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
Many Increases Made.
It is proposed to advance' the genera
rate on canned meats of 20 francs per
100 kilos to 30 francs', an Increase of 50
per cent, leaving the minimum rate of
15 france unchanged.
Under the existing agreement fresh
apples and pears are admitted at the rate
of 2 francs per 100 kilos. -It Is proposed
to advance the minimum rate to 5 francs,
an increase of 150 per cent, and to in
crease the general rate from 5 to 8 francs.
It is proposed to increase the minimum
rate on hops from 30 to 40 francs, and the
general from ' 45 to 60 francs per 100
kilos.
Far more numerous are the tariff
changes on articles which are not affect
ed by the commercial- agreement between
France and this country. Among the
more important of these changes the fol
lowing may be mentioned, the rate being
given in france per 100 kilos:
Meat extracts, general rate increased
from 40 to 45 francs; cotton seed, now ad
mitted free, to be subject to a duty of
1.50. francs; peanuts, now admitted free,
to be subject to a duty of 2.50 francs, and
preserved vegetables, duty Increased from
20 to 24 francs.
Even more disadvantageous to Ameri
can trade are the proposed changes,
which. while increasing the general
rates to which American goods are sub
ject, contemplate a reduction of the min
imum rates which are applicable to im
ports from favored countries. As in
stances of such changes the following
may be mentioned: Heavy agricultural
machinery weighing over 400 kilos, for
which It is proposed to increase the gen
eral rate from 15 to 16 francs per 100
kilos, while reducing the minimum from
9 to 8; detached parts of copper and
brass, weighing 1 to 10 kilos apiece, for
which it Is proposed' to raise the present
general rate of 60 francs to 62. 50 while
reducing the minimum rate of 40 to 35.
Slight Aid Found.
It is proposed, however, in a large
number of cases, to reduce the general
rates, while hiaving the minimum un
changed. The effect of this would be to
lessen to some extent Bthe disadvantages
under which American manufacturers
have to compete at present with other
foreign goods in France.
