With Amrrica.
PARIS. July 3. The annual Fourth
of July dinner of the American CharabfT
of C'ommerre at the Hotel Palais d"
Orsay tonlRht was exceptionally bril
liant. Laurence V. Henet. president of
the ehamher. presided and covers were
laid for 400. nnionr wliom were many
visiting: Americans. Tlie quests of honor
Included the American A nihassailor,
Henry White; M. Bartlmii. Minister of
Fuhlic Works; Jacob J. Schurman.
president of Cornell University, and
Patrick Murphy.
Why Tariff Hurts France.
Mr. White delivered the principal
speech. His most important utterances
consisted of an official assurance, di
rectly to Minister Harthou. that the
American tarifT revision, contrary to
he Idea prevailing here, was In no
wise aimed at France.
The Ambassador explained that the
t'nited States, like other countries in
an ap-e of 1 readncmhts and constantly
ansrumentlnK- expenses, needed addi
tional revenue, and. like other popular
(Jovernments. desired that the Increased
taxation should fall on those best able
to pay. Ho pointed out that France en -.loved
a monopoly In certain luxuries
Imported to the United States for the
use of the well-to-do. and these people
would still purchase reerardless of price.
On the other hand, a slight augmenta
tion In the price of necessities would
reduce consumption.
"I do not claim." said the Ambassa
' dor. "'that in revising the tariff our first
preoccupation is to safeguard the In
terests of France, or any other foreign
country, hut I do Insist that the con
trary Is not true."
Can't Imagine War With Vs.
M. Barthou. after paying a tribute to
the United States and President Taft.
recalled ex-President Roosevelt's words
to M. Jusserand, the French Ambassa
dor: "T ran Imagine war wWh any other
country except France," as an expres
sion of the friendship between the two
countries.
The. Minister said France could only
await the consummation of the Ameri
can tariff with some apprehension,
which, perhaps, might be equally felt
on the other side, as both countries had
ultra protectionists.

Horrible Orgies in Chi

MAN WITH VELVET MASK
Says Charge of Stealing Lace Used
as Pretext for Nameless Deeds
and Attempts to Lure Her to
French Lick Springs.
CHICAGO. July 3. (Special.) Ella
(Jingles, the pretty Irish lacemaker on
trial for the alleged theft of laces
from, her former employer. Mrs. Agnes
Barrette. today on tli witness stand
told the most revolting storv of in
dignities ever related In a " Chicago
court.
dozens of prominent clubwomen, civic
reformers and charity workers sat
throogh the entire recital, too dazed
and horrified to move. Throughout
the story, which is absolutelv unprint
able, the girls clear blue eyes never
faltered. Once or twice she hesitated
on the verge of relating some most dis
gusting detail, but prompted by her
attorney she went ahead.
Inspected Like Livestock.
Mrs. Barrette. her accuser, was vis
ihly moved by the recital. She was
deadly pale and trembling, and darK
rings under her eyes told of a sleep
less night. The Jury listened intently
to the shocking story and seemed
much impressed by the girl s version
of what happened in a room in the
Wellington Hotel.
In brief. Miss Gingles said that after
Mrs. Barrette and Mrs. Cecilia Kenvon
the latter having recently died In a
roadhouse, came to her room and ac
cused her of stealing laces from the
store owned by Mrs. Barrette they
pretended to find the laces thev said
w-ere stolen and then took the girl to
another room. Under pretense of
searching her for stolen laces, she says
they removed all her clothing. Then
they inspected her much as a buyer
of livestock would appraise an ani
mal, and one of them said "she would
do."
Masked )lan Joins in Orgies.
Later both of them, she said at
tacked her. In the micist of the Tight.
Miss Gingles said, there was a knock
at the door and a man, unclothed but
wearing a velvet mask, was admitted
W'hile the women held her. she savs
this man attacked her. Her story 'of
these orgies is absolutely unprintable
and rivals anything turned out by the
filthiest French publishers.
According to her story, she was told
that they possessed evidence that she
had stolen laces, that she was already
compromised by what had happened In
the room and that she might as well
sign a confession of her guilt and then
go -to "some friends of theirs" at
French Lick Springs. Indiana. She re
fused, and after two or three hours,
at 11:30 o'clock at night to be exact
they permitted her to resume her
clothing and depart.
Delayed Appeal to Police.
She says she ran all the way to
her rooming-house, a distance of two
miles, and told the woman there what
had happened. This woman counseled
her to retire until she was calmer and
appeal to the police the next day, which
she did.
In the cross-examination she did not
explain why she did not appeal to the
first policeman she met after escaping
from the room, or wny she did not
tell all this story to the police cap
tain the following day, or to the two
detectives who were sent with her to
the hotel to identify the women. She
also denied that she had lived in vari
ous parts of Canada and England un
der other names or that she had a
questionable hospital experience in
Was White Slave Agent.
The case went over until next Tues
day, when her cross-9xamination will
be completed. It is promised that the.
name of the man in vhe case, said to
be a "white slave" agent, will be
forthcoming before the girl quits the
stand. She was shown an alleged con
fession, supposed to have been given
to Mrs. Barrette, but denied she had
signed it.

BV'TTE. Mont.. July 3. fSpecIal.)
Thousands of Flathead Tndians in full
paint will gather at the historic St.
Ignatius Mission. In Western Montana.
Monday, and hold the last great pow
wow before the opening of the Flat
head Reservation. This powwow prac
tically marks the passing as a great
tribe of the Flathead nation, as with
the giving over of their land to the
whites the tribal government comes
to an end.
The Indians will dance the "dance
of death" and the "sun dance." the
former dance being one of the weirdest
of tribesmen's acts in which, in olden
days, the most barbarous acts of self
cruelty were chief characteristics.- By
an odd coincidence, while the Indians
will sing their swan song, the towns
nearby and throughout Montana, will
celebrate Independence day. The dance
of death is symbolical of defeat and
the passing of the warriors.

.VICTORIA. B. C. July 3. (Special.)
A pathetic tragedy of the Asian sea is
related in advices by today's Empress,
which reports that loss by burning of
the Japanese steamship Nippon Kal
Maru. a well-known China coaster, her
entire crew of 16 men perished together
with almost seven score fisher folk,
women and men. 150 of whom com
prised the steamer's passengers. The
Nippon Kai Maru had made her call at
Aomorl. and was proceeding under half
speed through thick fog. when fire was
discovered In the bunkers. It quickly
became uncontrolable, and drove ail
hands upon deck.
There panic prevailed. No Intelligent
efforts were made' to utilize the boats,
and they leaped overboard to perish
by drowning, preferring this merciful
death to being burned.
A few sought safety In the rigging,
from which the majority dropped one by
