In conclusion Sir Edward reiterates
mis- governments assertion that the
provisions Of the canal act as to tolls
conflict with the British treaty rights
and adds
"Bur they recognize that many per-
sons OF note in the United States
whose opinions are entitled to great
weight hold that the provisions Of the
act do not infringe the conventional
oplgations by which the United States
Is bound, and under these crcum-
stances they desire to state their per-
feet readiness to submit the question

the United States would prefer to take
this course. A reference to arbitra-
tion would be rendered unnecessary If
the government Of the United States
would be prepared to take such stems
as would remove the objections to the
act which his majestys government
have stated"
Finally Sir Edward declares that II
Is with great reluctance that these OBJ
Jections have been raised; that thew

possible limits, have recognized in the
fullest manner the right Of the United
S$tates to control the canal and that
the British government looked with
confidence to the United States not to
impair the safeguards granted to
British shipping by treaty.

case, Mrs. Chance appealed to the
county probation officer, Mrs. Emma
Budelier, some time ago, telling her
that she could not care for her chill
dren, being n widow and destitute,
having to work, thus making it ne
cessary for her children to be with
out any care. When she heard the
sentence of the court, Mrs. Chance
burst into tears, sohbing that the
court was going TO take her children
again. She was assured by Judge
sullivan that such was not the case.
THE y childrens are Lillian Pear,
aged II years, daughter by Mrs.
Chances first husband; Amos Leland
Leroy, IL years old, son by Mrs.
Chances second husband, and James
IL. and Charles T. Chance, sons by
Mrs, CHARGES last husband. All
three husna lds are dead.
Mrs. Budelier had been inyestigat-

to be revolving. The children We're

sibilities OF caring for the younger
