FORTIFY CANAL PLEADS TAFT
President Sends Special Message to
Congress on Subject.

Washington. President Taft sent
to congress a special message urging
the fortihcation of the Panama canal
and recommending that an appropria-
ton of $5,OO0,0O0 for the initiation OF
the work on the proposed defenses be
made at the present session of the
congress. He forwarded with the mes
sage the report of the special army
and navy board, recommending forti-
fication of the canal.
The canal, when completed" said
the president, in his message, will af-
ford the only convenient route for
water communication between Allan
tic and Pacific coast ports, and virtu-
ally will be a part of the coast line
of the United States. Its assured pos
session and control will contribute to
our peace, safety and prosperitf as a
nation. In my judgment, it is the
right and the duty of the United States
to fortify. the canal and make capable
of defense the work that will bear so
vital relation to it's welfare and that
is being created solely by it, and at
an expenditure of enormous sums.

President Of the United States Il
Practically Made Supreme Over
the Waterway.

L Washington-A bill to provide for
the operation of the Panama canal,
regulating the charges for the use Of
that waterway and authorizing the es-
adjustment of dry docks, warehouses,
etc, with ample facilities for furnish
ing supplies to craft, was introduced
by Representative Mann Of Illinois,
chairman of the house interstate com
merce committee The introduction
of the bill followed number of con-
ferepces with the president.
The measure authorizes the presi-
dent to prescribe and from time to
time readjust charges for the use of
the canal These are to be based up
on registered displacement, cargo or
other tonnage, and be not more than
$3.50, nor less than so cents per net
ton on registered tonnage, for YES
sells other than those owned by citi-
zens Of the United States and Panama.
The rate is not to be less than. the
estimated proportionate cost of the
actual operations of the canal, subject,
however, to the United States Panama
treaty of November 18, 1903, and the
right of the United States to pass it's
own vessel, troops, materials, mer-
chandise and supplies, without the
payment of any charges.
The president is given the right to
prescribe that any coastwise vessel,
wholly or partly owned by railroad
or railroad holding company and con-
trolled by railroad or by any in
terests seeking to avoid or reduce COM
petition of ocean traffice between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans, shall pay
the highest rates. This provision, how
ever, shall not apply to the Panama
Railroad company for its vessels. No
preference is to be given to any coun-
try except the United States and Pan
ANA. The president is authorized, I'M

operate dry docks, repair shops, yards
and docks, wharves, warehouses, store
houses for providing coal and other
supplies, labor and repair to passing

FOOD WILL COST LESS

GENERAL FALL IN FOOD PRICES

WHOLESALE MARKETS.
COLD STORAGE MEN ANXIOUS
Immense Quantities Of Produce in
Cold Storage Must &c Thrown
on Market.

Chicago. Millions of pounds of bat
ter, eggs, cheese and poultry, held in
the cold storage warehouses here, will
ne thrown ON tine market before May
/, and a general tumbling of food
prices is expected at once. according
to commission merchants. Numerous
Chicago commission men are said to
be facing failure as a result of their
efforts to maintain an artificial price
on the necessities Of life. The ina
bility further to uphold this price is
said to be due to a combination OF
circumstances, chief which are the
open winter of 1911 and the banner
crops Of 1910
Three commission men failed in the
last week as result of holding great
quantities of butter, which they pur-
chased at an average price Of 81 cents
a pound and now are unable to mar
ket for more than q or % cents a
pound
While the wholesale prices Of but
ter and eggs have dropped decidedly
within the last few weeks, there has
as yet been no decline in the retail
prices.
Much of the produce wnich is to be
unloaded on falling market has been
in the warehouse for as long as five
years BY means Of cold storage COM
mission men have been able to main
tain an artificial price not only to the
CONSUMER. but to the producer, it is
said.
Thirty-two warehouses are known
to have 44,00O0O0 pounds of butter
eggs and poultry.
The wholesale price on smoked
meats, beef and pork has been slight
ly reduced in price. The big corn
crop of 1910 is given as the cause.
