PANAMA MERCHANTS PROTEST

The President and the Secretary or

The protestants say that the United
States has failed to pay duty to the
republic of Panama on goods imported
at the Canal Zone; that the United
States has disposed of these goods IL
others than employees of the Canal Zone:
that it has imported luxuries for tho
convenience of certain employees: that
there has been a systematic sitting OF

trade monopoly in favor of the United

INQUIRY IN THE DORR CASE
INSPECTORS REPORT WAS
MADE LAST JULY.
President Was Not Made Aware of
the Facts Until December 10, the
Postmaster General Says.

That the Dorr case in which Senator
Tillman was involved was brought to the
Presidents attention for the first time De-
cember IS. 1908. was asserted last night
by Postmaster General Meyer in state
ment made in response to an inquiry from
the Associated Press. Senator Tillman,
in the course of his speech yesterday said
that the President has been in possession
of all the facts in this case since July
last and men will be curious to know
why. If his zeal was honest, he did not
make them known then.
Mr.. Meyers statement was as follows:
THE inspectors report is dated Port
land, Ore, July -. 1908. 1t was received
by the chief post Office inspector August
;. 1908 The case being alleged viola
ton of the fraud section of the postal
laws by Bryan r. Dorr. 1t was sent to the
assistant attorney general for the Post
Once Department August ), 1908. for ac-
ton. 1t was returned to the chief in
spector September 3. 1905, with the recon-
mendation that a fraud order be not is
sued, as it was not shown that Dorr was
conducting fraudulent business.
THE matter was again referred to the
assistant attorney general on account of
the receipt of letter dated November %
lNS, written by Dorr. in which he re-
quested the department to furnish him
with copy of the inspectors report for
putation of fraud put upon him by Sen
ator Tillman.
'.lecember II. 1908. the report was
handed to the postmaster general by the
assistant attorney general.
December 49, 1908, the case was
brought to the attention of the President
for the first time, and on the same date
instructions by wire were sent to the
inspectors who had made the inves-
tisation, to procure either the original
Tillman letters or photographs. in order
that the inspecoEs statements as to
Senator Tillmans letters might be veri-
fled.
These proofs, presented by the inspec-
tors in person. reached the President
January 4. The investigations were made
entirely by post Office inspectors, and the
secret service agents we're in no way
connected with the case"

here with an aunt since she left Browning
little more than year ago, says that
her husband was born and reared in
Richmond, Ontario county, N Y, remov-
ing to Bloomfield, y. Y, in 1894, where
she married him.
His first wife, she said, was Ada Bowen.
whom he married in 1879. and who lived
with him only a short time
Mrs Browning said that her husband
drank and abused her. and finally sold
their little propory at Cana ndaigua, their
last home together, and pocketed the
money. When she left him he took their
small son, Willie, since when she had not
heard directly from either of them, al
though she had occasional news of them
from Mrs. Frank Smith, at Adair, Mich,
Browning's sister.
Mrs. Browning was never in Michigan n.
and had never heard of Carmichael until
the murder.

BRITISH TREATY IS SIGNED
MANY DIFFERENCES WITH
CANADA MAY BE ENDED.
Provision Made for a Permanent
Joint High Commission-Regu-
lation Of Boundary Waters.

After many years consideration Secre-
tary Root and Ambassador Bryce of
Great Britain have signed treaty for
the settlement of differences between the
United States and Canada.
Although the agreement has been alIud-
cd to as the waterways treaty., its
scope is broader than that designation
implies, as it contemplates a settlement
of everything in the nature of differences
between the two countries Provision is
made for a joint high commission, to
be made permanent in character.
Regulation of Boundaries.
Dependent upon the final ratification of
the treaty by the United States and Great
Britain rests the settlement of numerous
complex questions connected with the
water boundaries along the northern
border, which have been the source of
more or less annoyance at different times.
Included in these are the regulations of
the use of the waters of the great lakes.
with the secondary, but none the less
important, questions OF the diversion OF
the waters of these boundaries. including
Niagara falls. which involves that OF the
amount of water TO be taken out for
power purposes. the navigation OF the
St Johns river between Maine and New
Brunswick and the use of the Milk river
in the northwest
To some extent the operations of the
treaty will supersede the work of the in
ternationa1 waterways commission, made
up of representatives of the United States
and Canada, whose duty includes, among
other things the ascertainment and re-
establishment of the location Of that por-
tion of the International boundary be-
tween the United States and Canada
passing through the great lakes system
That feature of its work, however, will
be continued by the waterways commits
sion until 1t is completed-its other por-
ton gradually being absorbed by the
Joint high commission to be appointed in
accordance with the new treaty.
Principles Agreed Upon.
The contracting powers have agreed
upon a certain line of principles which are
to guide the commission in its work,
leaving to them the Interpretation of
those principles as applicable to the ques-
tons that may require settlement imme-
diately and for those that may arise from
time to time. This takes from the joint
high commission any functions of
treaty-making body and confines its du-
ties simply to that of determining to what
extent the principles already laid down
apply to any particular case.
The treaty is regarded one of great
importance and the hope is expressed that
its effective operation will result in put
ting an end to the differences between the
United States and Canada.
