"We are not em ploying any Industrial Workers of the World, if we know it," said the manager of an employment agency today. "The contractors do not want them, for they are agitators and trouble-makera. They take every opportunity during work and in the bunkhouses to create dissatisfac tion among the other men. It is against the rules of the Industrial Workers' or ganization to patronize an employment agency and when one of them comes in here he removes h!rs buttons and conceals his I. W. W. card." The manager of another employment agency said: "We have instructions from various employers not to send out any Indus trial Workers of the World. They agi tate and cause trouble wherever they go. While we are short of men and there is plenty of work, we will not send out any I. W. W. men if we know them to be euch. Those that come into this office carefully conceal any evidence of their connection with the organization." Six "Workers" Brave Sleet. Six "Industrial Workers" braved the leet today in the cause of free speech. These men stood with bared heads at Washington and Riverside streets, the po lice letting them orate until they were well moistened and then arresting them. Every one admitted he had coma to the city within the last few days in response to calls sent out for "martyrs" to tight the Spokane authorities. Most of them were from Seattle.

After a vain attempt to get the use of various halls and theaters for "free speech" meetings, the Socialists were given permission to use the municipal courtroom for a meeting Sunday. A woman called up Mayor Pratt to day and told him the women of the Industrial Workers of the World would take up the fight Monday, and that 7i0 of them were ready to be arrested. This move. It is said, has been decided on to embarrass the officials. Kfforts to secure the release of I. W.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The fourth of a series of great conferences that are steadily strengthening the bonds between the republics of the Western hemisphere is to be held in Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, between July 15 and 20 next, and already the Argen tine Government, which is to be the host in this case, has been doing much to prepare for the meeting. The three preceding conferences have moved along the lines of least resist ance; that is to say. the delegates have adopted as basic principles such propo sitions as have secured the easy ad hesion of the great majority, but no effort was made to coerce the minority of the states into acceptance of rules which at first presentation were ob noxious to them. Instead, when these were of real importance they were thor oughly debated and then remanded for further consideration at the next con ference. In this way the conferences have been made educational, and ex perience has shown that a sound propo sitlon is almost certain to secure ad hesion. So it happens that the tentative pro gramme includes some subjects that al ready have figured Jn the debates of the preceding conferences. Thus, for in stance, will again come up the subject of compulsory arbitration. Navigation Lines Proposed. Another jiroject broached at a pre ceding meeting which will be again threshed out will be the establishment of steam navigation lines connecting the principal ports of the American countries, on the 1 nsis of a uniform system of contract. The Bureau of American Republics is to be strengthened and continued for another ten-year term of life at the least, and it is hoped that the com mission of international jurists will be able to report something in the nature of a code of international law that will be adopted for the go ernment of the American republics in their diplomatic relations. If this report is satisfactory the fourth conference will embody in a treaty this basic code, which is ex pected to have the happiest results in the settlement of any disturbing ques tions that may arise in the future be tween the republics. The Pan-American Railway: postal rates and parcel posts: a uniform sys tem of collection of census and com mercial statistics and consular methods; supervision of food supply; the protec tion of the public health, and the regu lation of rates of international ex change are other matters left by pre ceding conferences for the considera tlon of that.whtch Is to meet'at Buenos Ayres. Foreign Immigration Is Topic' New and up-to-date subjects are wireless telegraphy and aerial naviga tion, for it has begun to be realized by the governing board that there soon will be need of regulations for the gov ernment of these new modes of com munication and travel. An effort also will be made to arrive at some sound basin of regulation of foreign Immi gration and naturalization, and to de fine real n- utrality In time of war. implied in undervaluation show almost simultaneously immense losses in revenue through the leading ports of each ocean, how widespread is the disease, and how virulent? Is it all the way up and down the coast and throughout the inland ports? Clean House Thoroughly. That is exactly what Mr. MacVeagh in tends to find out. As he described it to day, house-cleaning is as essential to the public as to private business, and a per son is liable to forget how time flies. It may seem to him tha; he cleaned house a year previously, when, thinking it over, it will be found the soap and water had not been applied for possibly five years. That is the trouble now, it seems. There has been no house-cleaning these many years. There is to be one right away, and one that will remove all the dirt, if such a thing be possible. Mr. MacVeagh does not anticiapte that the application of mop and broom will un cover any such nests of "rattlesnakes," as it is termed, as have been found al ready in New York, but, where there is rottenness, it Is the determination to cut it out, and where there is Inefficiency, it is to be remedied to the fullest possible extent. CUSTOMS AFFAIRS ARE BAD Contlnued from First Pag.-) honesty, lax methods and undervalua tion. Wors-t on Oriental Goods. Apparently the conditions at the port of San Francisco have been particularly depressing. -It is reported that the under valuation discovered to have been pre vailing has affected vast quantities of Oriental goods, which are of a character. it Is explained, that renders them pecu liarly susceptible of being passed at less than their real worth. The most inter esting question that arises, however, is: If fraud and laxity and all that may be DIRIGIBLES BEAT WINGS GASBAGS CARRY OFF HONORS IX CINCINNATI CONTEST.

Willard, In an aeroplane, brought the spectators to their feet cheering as he swept past the grandstand, rising and falling easily and maintaining a speed of about 35 miles an hour. The injury to Curtiss' machine is slight and he announced this evening that he would be prepared- to start in the long distance contest tomorrow.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Nov. 12. Pres ident Taft arrived here from New Haven this morning at 8415 o'clock. His visit to . Middletown was primarily to attend the installation of Dr. William Arnold Shanklin as president of Wesleyan Uni versity. At the installation President Taf t's . address, which he delivered ex temporaneously, came next to the last on the long programme. Eminent educa tors, university and college professors from all sections of the country, attended. The degree of doctor of laws was con ferred on President Taft. Vice-President Sherman, Senator Root, Elmer Ellsworth Brown, United States Commissioner of Education; Bishop William BUrt, .of the Methodist . Episcopal Church,- and Dean Samuel Hart, of the Berkeley Divinity School. President Taft, in his address, praised small colleges. The presidents of these institutions. . he said, had the advantage of close personal touch with the student body. He said: I depreciate the desire to increase every class in a university. The desire to say that this year's freshman class is larger than last year's while it may give pride for the moment, seriously increases the burden of college administration and brings about the necessity for a search for money to meet the added expenses. It has fallen to me at times to have a share In selecting a college president, and there has always been at such times the sug gestion that what we needed was a business man. I am glad to say that I always dis sented from such an ideal. 1 am not at tacking business men, but I believe such men have their limitations and that these limitations are such as to exclude them as college presidents. Majority of Men of Paris Favor Ac quittal or Prisoner, While Women Believe She Is Guilty Deluge of Letters Brings Offers. PARIS, Nov. 12. The entire session of the Steinhell murder trial today was taken up with an impassioned plea by Trouard RIolle, Advocate-General, for. conviction of the woman who is charged with having killed her husband and lier stepmother. Mme. Steinheil'a counsel, M. Aubln, is yet to be heard, and doubt has arisen whether the case will go to the jury tomorrow. The prosecutor showed neither pity nor mercy in his address to the jury. He painted the accused woman in the black est of colors as a born liar and as one whose whole life, before and after the crime, justified the presumption- of guilt. He developed the theory that after the rich and generous lover, Chounard, abandoned her in 1907. Mme. Steinheil realized she was almost at the end of her tether and that when she got Maurice Borderet in her clutches she was deter mined to hold him, even at the price of murder. Theories Are Finespun. The prosecutor insisted that Mme. Stein heii's story that burglars committed the crime was a myth, and he undertook to reconstruct the scene that actually hap pened, claiming that while the accused woman and her accomplice were tying Mme. Japy, M. Steinheil was aroused by the noise and jumped out of bed. There upon they attacked and killed him and. returning to Mme. Japy's room, found her in a bad fright. M. Trouard RIolle undertook to account for the stopping of the clock in the Stein heil home after the murder, advancing the theory that Mme. Steinheil, in her anguish, could not endure the ticking. An expert testified during the trial that the clock had been stopped by hand as it was being wound up. Defendant May Make Address. Throughout the day Mme. Steinheil seemed terribly depressed. Not once did she interrupt the proceedings, though fre quently she clenched her fists and showed signs of anger when the prosecutor made particularly odious insinuations, against her. It is understood that at the con clusion of M. Aubln's address Mme. Stein heil intends to address the jury in her own behalf. This would make a dramatic climax, and it is expected would have a powerful influence on the jury, which is reported to be evenly divided. Two things must be remembered in connection with a French verdict first, the majority vote prevails, the foreman of the Jury having two votes if there be a tie; second, the Jurors are not con fined, but are permitted to return to their homes at night, where they are subjected to the possible influence of their wives. Women Believe Her Guilty. It is notorious that whereas a majority of the men here favor the acquittal of Mme. Steinheil, the women almost unani mously believe she is guilty. Mme. Steinheil is being deluged with let ters of every character, many of them containing offers of marriage if she Is acquitted. Enterprising theatrical man agers are trying to arrange for her im mediate appearance on the stage after release. Mme. Steinheil is represented as having thrown these letters away in a rage. , BIG SHIP IN CLASS ALONE Could Steam -3000 Miles at Top Speed Without Recoaling. QUINCY, Mass., Nov. 12. Official fig ures made public today indicate the new battleship North Dakota is in a class by herself as far as steaming radius is con cerned. The figures show the North Dakota, steaming at an average speed of 12 knots an hour, is able to travel 9000 nautical miles without recoaling. At a 19-knot speed the big ship would be able to steam 4000 miles without re plenishing her bunkers, while she would be able to cover 9X10 miles without recoal ing when steaming at her maximum speed of 21H knots.
