Panama Insists on Jurisdiction,

A dispatch from Panama last night saws
No settlement has been reached of the
questions pending between the republic of
Panama and the authorities of the canal
zone. The Panama government is firm In
the belief that the only correct interpreta-
ton of the canal treaty is that until the ca
nal shall be constructed all parts of the
isthmus are under the direct Jurisdiction of
Panama. The fact that the relations be-
tween the Panama government and Major
General Davis, governor of the canal zone
are very cordial leads the people of the re-
public to hope that the questions at issue
will be satisfactorily settled

Those Burned Warehouses.

Senator Joseph s. Wilson. of this coun-
ty, in speaking of the loss of State tobac-
co warehouses Nos l and 2 by fire,
stated:
II have talked with a great many of the
tobacco growers in Southern Maryland
and also the commission merchants of
Baltimore city and find they almost unan-
imously favor the rebuilding Of warehouse
No. l. The three houses left by the fire,
l am informed, are not capable Of storing
more than 16, 900 or 1900 hogsheads of
tobacco, whereas the average crop OF the
State is 80, 900 hogsheads. If the market
is active and the tobacco sold as soon as
inspected and shipped 10 reasonable
time after sale the present houses are SUI
ficient, but should the market be dull
it would be found to be entirely made.
quate.
"The present system Of tobacco inspec-
ton dates back to 1928, when law was
passed entitled AN act to establish State
warehouses for the inspection of tobacco
in the city of Baltimore A supplement
to this act was passed in 1926, which
authorize the Governor and Council to
contract for the building Of fireproof
State warehouse or warehouses for the
inspection of tobacco in Baltimore. This
act also provides, that for the pur-
pose of paying fer the warehouses the net
revenue from the inspection OF tobacco
should be set apart rs fund. After this
by subsequent acts of Assembly number
of other warehouses were built, tho cost
of all of which was charged to the tobacco
fund. There is now due the State after
deducting all the cost of building the
warehouses, purchasing the land upon
which they stand and the cost of running
them about $4,000.
"Warehouses Nos. l and 2, l am in
formed, were insured for $4,000 and the
land upon which they are built is very
valuable. 1t has been suggested that it
the insurance is collected and the land
which No. 2 stands can be sold q fund
would be realized sufficient to pay of in
full the balance due the State and erect
large modern warehouse on the site OF
warehouse No. or some other section of
the lot of land owned by the State and
probably leave surplus which I think
should be by proper legislation appropri-
ated to the tobacco growing counties OF
the State"
Senator Wilson is now confering with
the Tobacco Leaf Association of Balti-
