The program of this year's meeting is the most interesting that has ever been arranged for a session of the fruit growers and the Hamilton people have made elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the city's guests. J. O. Read telephoned to The Missou flan office last night from Hamilton that everything is in readiness; the famouh McIntosh Red band, which Mr. Read has been directing for weeks in preparation for this occasion, had its final workout yesterday afternoon and made the mile In 2:24 flat. The first heat-no, that was not what J. 0. said; he said the band had a good re hearsal and made a good appearance, and that a team of his exhibition Mc Intosh Red hogs made the mile in 2:24 But, whatever he said, there is a good time waiting for everybody who goe: up to Hamilton this week. The crowds are so big and the interest is so great in the meeting that the place of holding the sessions has been changed from the court house to the lucas opera house and the Ravalli Mercantile company has shown its good will by donating the use of this excellent theater. There is no dou' that the meeting will be succesful. 0.

"Brewster's Millions," as has already been an nounced, will be the opening perform ance. It is one of the best pieces of comedy that has been staged in re cent years, and it is in the hands of a company which in every way is worthy to open the finest slhowhouse in ti northwest. "I hope," said Mr. Harnola yesterday, "that everybody whose name is on the list of subscribers will mnake his payment right away so that his name may be placed in the box for the drawing. I can sell a few more tickets, now that the house bhas been (nlarged over its original plan, and if there are any who have not subscribed, I will be glad to place their names on the list before the selection of seats is made."

With these dis tinguished leaders the line will be no tably conspicuous for the excellence of the citizenship which it represents and for the attractive appearance which it will have. President Harrington of the chamber of commerce received letters yesterday from some of the prominent Montanans who have been invited to speak at the banquet. Cor nelius Kelley of Butte wrote that he gladly accepted and just wanted to know what he should talk about. Charles R.

San Rafael, Cal., Feb. 7.-Miss Ell_ abeth Grapes, a beautiful 18-year-old girl, employed as bookkeeper In the office of a local paper, is in a critical condition as the result of a brutal-as sault last night. While walking on Fifth avenue, Miss Grapes stopped a moment to listen to a band playing in the armory nearby, and was attacked by a man who knocked her down with his fist. Smothering her attempts to cry out, her assailant dragged the half-stunned girl to a vacant lot about 150 yards away. In the struggle her clothes were torn from her body, and she was finally beaten into insensi bility. Recovering consciousness later, she found herself lying on the porch of a vacant house. On her hands and knees the young woman dragged her self toward a light glimmering a short distance away and knocked on the door of the home of George Beardsley. The sight of a nude woman, her face covered with blood and her hair matted with dirt, so hor rifled the occupants that she was de nied admittance. At that moment Miss Mary Collins and two other girls passed by. They recognized Miss Grapes, wrapped her in their cloaks and conveyed here to her home, where physicians were summoned imme diately. Sheriff Taylor was assisted by cores of citizens and search was made all night and today for the assailant of Miss Grapes. Should he be cap tured it will require the utmost efforts of the authorities to prevent a lynch Ing. Two suspects were arrested late tonight.

Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 7.-Attor ney General Major in a lengthy state ment Issued today relative to the mo-i tlon for the modification of Judgment of the ouster filed by the Standard Oil company, said he does not deem it necessary to file any additional re plies in the supreme court to the sug gestions of the Standard Oil attor neys. The motion of the oil attor neys, he said, simply asks for clem ency in the modification of the decree.

"Under the modification as pro posed, the state could control the price of the products and prevent the company from recouping its losses in fines from the people. "Should the modification be favor ably considered then I would in that event ask that the fine be greatly In creased. "It is for the court, however, to mete out the punishment and the de gree and choose its own way in do ing so."

NEED DUAL TARIFF WITH FRANCE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SPE CIAL TREATY WITH FRENCH 18 POINTED OUT. Washington, Feb. 7.--American tariff experts do not view with complaceny the probability that the French gov ernment, within the next year, will put into operation a revised tariff which, it is believed, wfll have the ef fect of seriously discriminating against imports into France from the United States. The condition of trade with France, it is said, is bad even under the pres ent tariff: The United States is com pelled to pay the maximum rate on all of its importations, and that is suffi clent in many cases to be practically prohibitive. A very pertinent fact is the new French-Canadian treaty. Under this Canada is to receive all of the mini mum rates of the French tariff. This will be sufficient to cause many American manufacturers to build fac tories across the Canadian line so that their product may be sent to France with the benefit of the low tariff. Government experts believe it ab solutely necessary that a dual tariff be arranged by the United States with France, and that not to provide for tuch a system, it is argued, will leave the United States helpless and weap onless in any commercial war.
