PRESS ON MESSAGE.
Many View RooseveIt's Words With
 Favor,


 Favor. London Dec. I've may see in this me ssage the words of Police Constable l Roosevelt of the International Police" says The Daily Chronicle, in an edito- rial article this morning, the sentence concentrating the aspect of the mes sage of the President of the United States which most forcibiy presents It. self to that journal
 "On the whole the press of London regards the message .as statesman like, highly courageous and notable document which The Morning Post ventures to think will do more than any public utterance of recent years to increase sympathy between Britons and Americans, following the expression which the passage from the message where President Roosevelt speaks of his foreign policy as one for which the English speaking world will now and hereafter be thankful.
 A number of the newspapers edito- riaIly approve of President Roosevelt's advocacy of strong army and navy in order to preserve "the peace of jus tice' and acquit Mir. Roosevelt of any lingo aims. Some. on the other hand, consider the message injurious to the ideals of disarmament and arbitration. l ne Ddiy ioA cAohPio, NhihhS the message will strengthen the advo- cates of bloated armaments in every country"
 Tn Daily Telegraph pays a tribute to President Roosevelt's courageous re- cognition of thorny problems" and says:
 Tt Is a positive relief to contrast his virile language on the subject of for eign policy with the anaemic feminin- ities which find shrill utterance in Eng land.''
 The Standard says that on the ques- tion of a strong navy President Roose- welt will carry with him the sympa- thetic concurrence of most En glishmen.

CRITICISED ACTION
TAFT KNOCKS OWN ORDER IN
 sPEECH.
Feels a Panama Crowd that Enforce ment of DingIey Tariff Law Was Mistake He Himself
 Made.

Panama, Dec. GA supplemental agreement signed this morning be- tween War Secretary Taft and Presi- dent Amador and Foreign Minister Gardis, provides that after December 12. no cargoes can be landed at the canal ports except on presenting Pam am consular invoice from the port of shipment.
 The original plans for popular demonstration In the public square in celebration of the ratification of the agreement were carried out last night. Secretary Taft made a speech during which he congratulated the republic upon selecting the distinguished phy- sician, pr. Amador, for president and a leading New York jurist as vice pres ident thus indicating the desire of the people that>the civil authorities should be superior to the military and that the army should be only an instrument for the support of the civil govern ment.
 The secretary criticized the order which he said he himself had issued. putting in force the Dingley tariff be- tween the canal zone and the isthmus as being a mistake. The friction be- tween the two governments undoubt- edly was caused by recommendation of Governor Davis.
 He felt sure that a reading of the agreement would satisfy every impar- tial persons that the United States had no desire to acquire any power or property in the Isthmus except that ne- cessary to build, maintain and protect the canal
 Pablo Arosemena, the liberal leader, expressed satisfaction with the agree ment and added that 1t was gratifying to the administration.
 Fireworks, music and distribution of free beer followed, during which coins were thrown into the crowds from the balconies.

AS TO AWARDS.
Charges of Corruption Refer to Group Juriea.

Jurfes.
 Helena, Mont, Dec. 6.--Former att torney Thomas Carter. president of the national commission of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition made a brief re- ply to the interview with President Francis of the exposition company rel ative to charges of corruption made in regard to about thirty-five out Of thirty-five thousand awards. After referring to the law in regard to mak- ings awards. President Carter says
 "The rules governing the awarding of premiums provide first, for group juries second. department juries: and third, a superior jury. The law pro- vides that the awards shall be made by the exposition and approved by the national commission. As I recall the charges on file do not apply to the superior jury, but to the action of per- sons connected with group juries and persons attempting to deal with them. I do not recall any request to the com- mission to appear before a commits sion of five to present charges as stat ed by Mir. Francis but if such has been made the commission could not as- sume the character of prosecutor when the law plainly imposed quasijudicial functions on it in the matter of ap-. proving or disapproving awards made by the company

 Cincinnati, Dec. 6.-The Board of Di- rectors of the Chamber of Commerce here today unanimously approved the decision of Superintendent Charles A. Murray in refusing to allow the local manager of the Standard Distilling and Distributing Company, the so-called trust. to acute sales of spirits on the basis of SIPS a gallon on the official records of the association.
 On November the Standard Distil- ting and Distributing Company quoted a sale of 146 barrels of finished goods on the basis of SIPS a gallon. The in- dependents protested to Superintendent Murray, who after a hearing decided against the entry. holding that while the actual sale was unquestioned, the circumstances are such that the quo tation would not serve a proper pur- pose. and therefore 1t Is made void."
 The independent distillers and dis tributors have agreed on a basis of S1.24 a gallon for dlstillers with sell Ing at regulation overs" It was In an effort to compel the local independ- ents to quote on basis of SIPS that the Standard Distilling and Distribut- Ing Company quoted on that basis.
