Wants Tolls Decided On.
This is two years ahead of all earlier
estimates for completion of the canal,
and is fully $4,000. 600 less than many en-
gineers have figured as the total cost
Because Of the early completion Of the
canal Col Goethals urged the House
Committee on Commerce to prepare legis-
lation under which can be fixed shipping
tolls for passage Of vessels through the
waterway. ......
President Taft has made similar
recommendations, and bills for this pur-
pose have been. presented by Senator
Flint and Chairman Mann, OF the House
committee, each Of which gives the
President authority to fix or to desig-
nate some one else to fix toll rates with
in a maximum and minimum charge.
Col. Goethals could not say what would
be fair charge, but thought 81 per net
ton Of a vessel would be a heavy tax
on vessels using the canal, but would
give the transcontinental railroads COM
petition on freight from New York to
San Francisco.

A moving-picture show, depicting
scenes on the Panama Canal strip will

lecture in explanation of the pictures
and pointing out what Uncle Sam is ac-
compIishing in Panama will be de-
livered by Col Goethals, the govern

prise.
This is the first time, so far as is
known by even the oldest of the Cap
itoI employees, that the House has ever
consented to the use of the hall sin
which it meets for other than legisla-
tive and caucus purposes. Time and
again national and international bodies,
called to assemble in Washington have
sought the use of the House chamber,
only to have their applications either
ignored or rejected The exception
was made in this case because Col
Goethals will discuss a great public
work. in which the members of the
House, as Well as the members of the
senate. who will be present Monday
night, are deeply concerned

Eulogy Day in Senate Brings Forth Account of

Blaine's family relationship to the Catho-
lie Church. OF course. no one could fore
see that the preacher, who was also the
spokesman, had a formula which he had
used hundred times successfully from
the pulpit. but which, when 1t became
part of the literature on one side of a
political controversy, proved a can of
dynamite for the cause 1t was uttered to
promote.
mo one saw the disastrous effects of
coupling together rum, Romanism, and
rebellion more clearly than did Mr.
Blaine. He was naturally, for a while,
not only indignant, but unreasonable, and
yet, when he saw how deeply affected
was Mr.. EIlxins, Blaine put his arm
around Elkins' neck and said in that tone

given to it's consideration. The fact
| that the Post-Office Committee had re-
ported the Carter bill was taken to
mean that the present second-claSs
rate would not be disturbed. and the
| publishers were much surprised when
the same committee reported the ap-
preparation bill, with the rider increas-
! ing the rate.
Have a Different Set of Figures.
The publishers say that they never
had an opportunity to present their
side of the case to the committee. They
have an entirely different set Of figures
and draw an entirely different state OF
facts from the post-offiCe figures.
The Post-Office Department has as
Serted that it costs cents a pound to
carry second-class mail. but that state
ment has been often demolished. Even
when the amendment was being dis
cussed by the Senate committee Senator
Carter said there was no basis for either
the 9-cents-a-pound statement or the
older statement by former Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith that it
costs cents pound. The postal COM
mission, which gave extended hearings
ant a thorough investigation of the sub
ject could not reach conclusion as 10
the cost of mail transportation. and
said a REORGANIZATION of the business
necessary in order TO get at the real
facts.
Helps First-cIass Business.
One important contention of the pub
fishers has not been considered in the
declaration OF the department that IT
costs $6.O0O.OO0 to carry the second-class
mails. which Is that the profitable first
class mail is largely created by the ad-
vertising in the SecOnd-Class publications.
and that il this advertising is cut of
or many of the publications destroyed,
which they say will happen If the in
crease is adopted, there will be a large
loss in the first-class business, making
the deficit larger than at present
Not having had an opportunity to pre-
sent their side Of the case to the Presi-
dent, or to the committee, it is tire in
tention of the publishers to place it before
the country and to the Senate through
Senators who are opposed to the amend
ment They believe that when the coun-
try understands what ii all means, that
the popular publications are in danger,
that prices of periodicals will be in
creased. and that added power over pub
lications will be given to the Post-office
Department, that the protests will be
more numerous and more insistent
against the proposed amendment.
Labor Interests Alarmed.
An interesting development is the op-
position to the proposed amendment by
the labor interests which fear that the
destruction of periodicals and the in
eyitable curtailment of their business,
will mean that many persons will be de-
prived of employment. Among the tele-
grams of protest received yesterday were
many from labor organizations closely
allied with the publishing business, which
showed that great alarm is felt about
the adverse effect upon them which would
follow the enactment of the increased
rate of postage on periodicals.

Elizabeth
Peril

"A Whoop OF mingled rage, terror
and pain penetrated to the upper re-
gions and heralded the coming of
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's mother, for whom the
sound, familiar though it was, has
never been robbed of its terrors, ran
out of her bedroom and half way
down the stairs to meet her waiting
offspring. She sank down upon one
OF the steps and instantly a pair of
frantic arms were locked about her
knees and a Dutch cropped head and
a huge pink hair ribbon were buried
in her lap.
Ellzabeth's mother gathered into
her protecting arms the head, the
pink bows and as much as possible
OF the plump. pathetically heaving
body.
What's the matter with mothers
baby2" she asked tenderly.
Wow, wow, wow!" answered
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's mother clasped her lit
tie daughter closer to her. Are you
hurt, darling?" she queried, anxious
ly.
Wow, WOW, wowi" The pink bows
vibrated violently, but indefinitely.
Elizabeth, dear" said her mother.
you must stop crying and tell me
what's the matter. Are you hurt?"
The head merely burroWed deeper
into the friendly lap. 'Tts-it's my
TOOTH" gaspcd Elizabeth, finally.
Your tooth, s~weetheart?" ex-
claimed her mother. Does it ache?'
No, | don't guess So" The answer
between a below and a snifIle.
Then what's the matter?' Eliza
beth's mother was growing slightly
peevish under the strain. ~sElizabeth,
you've got to stop bowling and tell
me- She raised the tear-stained face
and held it firmly between her two
hands.
Nov, tell me-" she said, authori-
tatively. If YOU tooth doesn't ache,
what are you shrieting about
There was a fresh outburst OF tears,
but with the flood came the words:
slt's-oh, it's coming QUIT"
Elizabeth's mother gave a little sigh
Of relief. She kissed the top of the
anguished head. That's nothing to
cry about, precious she said. COM
f%ortingly. you'll soon have a nice
new one in its place"
"Oh, | don't mind the TOOTH" vail
ed Elizabeth, but Tom said-oh,
dear! Oh. dear me! We was all out

We were out playing" corrected
Elizabeth's mother, gently.
"Yessum. We was all out playin'
and Tom he come along"
TON came along. baby" Elizabeth's
said. patiently.
"Yessum. And Tom he come along
and he said" The remainder of the
story was lost in another whoop of
woe.
Elizabeth's mother rose and led her
small daughter to the bathroom and
her face thoroughly. y
After that she took the very Woe

DOM and sat down in the big rocking
hair with Elizabeth in her lap and =
ocked her until the sobs had ceased.
When the much-to-be-desired result
