UNCLE SAM TO DISCOURAGE
COMPETITION WITH CANAL
Government Has Its Eye on
Railroad Concessions in
Panama Zone
tBy Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. Sept. S.---Wtth every
disposition to encourage the investment
of capital in the development of tho
isthmus Of Panama, the government is
resolved that it will not permit the is
sue of concessions by the Panama con-
gress that wiz in any degree threaten
the business Of the canal.
Attention has been drawn to the sub
ject recently by the passage of a law in
Panama, granting a concession 10 a
company to construct a railroad enter
ing the city of Panama from mining
country to the southwark. 1t has been
alleged that the concession is so drawn
as to permit the construction of extern
sion of lines of road that might cross
the isthmus and so prove to be an ac-
tive competitor for business with the
canal
There is already a project under way
for the construction Of a railroad enter
ing Panama from David, on the north,
but this is regarded as desirable be-
cause II will form part Of the great in
tercontinental railway system to the de-
velopment of which the United States Is
committed.
If it can be shown that the projected
southern road can be likewise made
available as part of this system and
that it cannot be turned into cross
road between the Caribbean ana the Pa
cific it is possible that the state de-
partment will make no objection to the
concession. A careful inquiry is being
made to ascertain the facts.

NO MORE MUSIC
FOR CHICAGO THEATERS

CHICAGO. Sept &-Two Chicago thea
tiers of the first class have dispensed
with orchestras. The cause of the absence
of music is said by the managers to be
the blare of the trombone in the or
chestra pit. The musicians, however, say
the objection to the trombone is only
an excuse. They claim the managers are
trying to ruin their union. The Chicago
Federation of Musicians recently passed
rule that the orchestra in all Of the
big Chicago theaters must consist of IL
players and leader. or. as an alterna-
tive, they must do without music entire
ly. This ultimatum was presented to the
theater men.
With the exception of musical COM
edies, we have never used more than
seven men," said the manager of one
OF the theaters. Furthermore. we do not
intend to-
$50 far we have done we'll without
music. There has not been a single COM
plant Patrons Of the theater seem to
regard sitting out the intermission with
out music as a novelty and apparently

KIPL|NG TELLS WHY HE
OPPOSES RECIPROCITY
Says Canada Cannot Preserve
Her National Integrity If
Plan Is Adopted
fBy Assooiatsd Press.

MONTREAL, Sept s.-Rudyard Kip
ling, in a cable letter to a local paper.
gives his reason for opposing reciprocity
with the United States.
He said: II do not understand how
100000 people can enter into such ar
rangements as are proposed with S0,oOo.-
600 strangers on an open frontier of 1900
miles and at the same time preserve
their national integrity.
Ten TO one is too heavy odds. No
single Canadian would accept such odds
in any private matter that was as vital
to him personally as this issue to the
nation. IL is her own soul that Canada
risks today. Once that soul Is pawned
for any consideration Canada must inev-
itably conform TO the commercial, legal.
financial, social and ethical standards
which will be imposed upon us by the
sheer admitted weight of the United
States.
Whatever the United States may gain,
and 1 presume that the United States
proposals are not wholly altruistic, see
nothing for Canada in reciprocity except
little ready money which she does not
need and a long repentance"
