In PANAMA TOLLS
BY The United Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-The charge
that transcontinential roads were
"conspiring with foreign steamship
lines TO put through toll rates on the
Panama Canal on which they might
reap all the benefits, was made TO the
Navy League Convention today by
Representative Humphrey, Of WASH
ington.
The plan. the Congressman asserted,
was to have Congress make the tolls
high, and enact a bill providing for
free use of the canal for coast-wise
vessels. II these measures passed, he
predicted that the "conspirators'
would purchase scores Of cheap
foreign ships for coastwise trade, and
by agreement, boost the rates via
Panama so as TO absorb for themselves
all the benefits of the canal. Humphrey
declared that already it costs less
to ship a carload of crockery from
| Germany to Salt Lake than from
I Cleveland TO Salt Lake, because o

The convention discussed Panami
/ Canal tolls at tOday's session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. pa persis-
tent rumor that Secretary Of the Navy
George Won l.. Meyer had told Presl-
dent Taft that if Colonel Roosevelt
voluntarily entered the presidential
race, he would voluntarily step down
from his place in the Cabinet, was
graphically answered by Meyer at the
White House today
"f will do my duty-thats ALL was
Meyers sole comment.
The report was based on the long
and intimate personal friendship be-
tween Roosevelt and Meyer, and on
the assumption that Meyer would feel
embarrassed because of his connec-
tion with candidate opposeA to T. X.
Meyer was Postmaster-Gene, Al under
Roosevelt
Those who took stock in the report
professed the belief that Meyer fore
saw that Taft Cabinet members would
be expected to campaign for the ad-
ministration and felt that he could not
conscientiously do so.

TELLS OF MISSION
WORK AMONG CHINESE

American missionaries, who go over
to China to teach, find they have con-
siderable amount to learn before they
can teach, said Deaconess Hart, OF
Hankow. China, in an address before a
large assemblage at the meeting Of
the Woman's Auxiliary in st. Johns
Parish House yesterday afternoon.
The difficult Chinese language and the
punctilious Chinese etiquette. said the
deaconess, are formidable matters to
be learned. People going over there
on a business trip do not bother with
learning Oriental manners and conse-
quently appear very rude TO the Chi
nese.
Chinese etiquette. the speaker said,
demands attendance at long drawn
out feasts that are tiresome to an
American, the ability to eat strange
dishes. and elaborate declarations OF
unworthiness before accepting any
honor from the hostess.
