Wilson Is Silent

Washington, September 2-Mhen in- formed tonigM of the announcement that the British government would make for 1mal demand upon the United States for arbitration of the dispute over the Panama canal tolls Huntington N son. acting Secretary of State. said he had no comment to make. That such a demand would be made formally had been ex- pected in the state department ever since the second note from the British govern ment on the subject Judging from tlna attitude of this government. the opinioI. here is general that the United States will not yield 10 the demand for arbitra- ton of the question of it's right ,o re- lleve the coastwise shipping from tolls in the Panama canal without q prolonged diplomatic struggle.
 In some quarters the opinion is main tained that the demand will be hatly de- ciined.
 In the last note from Great Britain.
 presented to the state department weers ago by Mir. innes, the British charge,
 fl was set forth that if a careful read
 ing of the Panama act should justify the impression caused by first perusal the British government should feel it neces- sary 10 ask that the question he sub- mitted to the Hague tribunal.
 It is expected that the basis for the state departments primary decinaton to accede 10 this request will be the fact that as the American coastwise trade ilas for many years been barred by domestic law to all foreign shipping, It cannot l be claimed that British shipping is to be discrimina ted against by the proposed canal regulations which at stage don't apply to foreign commerce.

ENGLAND WILL ASK ARBITRATION OF HER PANAMA COMPLAINT Officially Announced That Formal Action Will Be
 Taken Soon PRESIDENT TAFT IS
 MUCH SURPRISED President Not Ready to Make an Expression About the Appeal to
 The Hague-May Not
 Be Granted

london, September 2.--It was an- nounced officially today thas the British government will make a formal demand upon the United States government for arbitration of it's claim that the Panama canal toll act. as passed recently by tue United staees Congress. violates the Hay Pauncefote treaty.
 Nothing definitely is known here beyond the brief official announcement that the formal demand for arbitration would be made, but it is believed instructions al- ready are en route to the British embassy a Washington concerning the situation.
 The British demand will be made under the arbitration convention U i9Qs. Great Britain's contention will he that the quesr ton at issue does not affect the vital in- terests. independence or honor of the Cnited States, and that therefore it IS clearly within the scope of the 1908 con vention since the matter to be arbitrated is not an act of Congress but an interpre- tation of the Hay yPauncerote treaty.

Think of how this would reduce the expense of campaigns.

HE ADMITS CALLING

Washington, September 2.-United States Senator Bourne of Oregon replied today 10 Colonel Roosevelts statement yesterday that he and former Congress- man Sibley of Pennsylvania were the only legislators woh ever called at the White House during his administration in re- gard to Standard oil.
 T must confess surprise at Colonel kooseyelt's dragging my name into the controversy he is now having with Stand ard Oil representatives and others" said Senator Bourne. 'I fail to see how my effort to bring about a settlement between Inc government and the Standard Oil company in 1908 has any bearing upon the present political situat:on.

Based on Extensive Probe

The report is based upon an extensive investigation of cotton tare-the all lowance for bagging and ties enclosing bale of cotton in order to ascertain the net weight-which was undertaken on complaint that American cotton pro ducers were sub bjected to serious loss because of excessive deductions for tare under the regulations of leading European markets. The producer does not ordinarily suffer under these rules. according to the commissioner. because of the active competition among mer- chants in the purchase of cotton from the farmer for export The existence of competition and its remedial effect. however, he points out. cannot always be relied upon, and 1t Is impossible to escape the conclusion that the producer may be injured and sometimes Is.
 The tare rules, the report declares. complicate price calculations with an unnecessary element of change and in- volve economic waste because of the use of excessive bagging. If this waste does not injure the producer, or mer- chant or spinner 1t must impose an unnecessary burden upon the con sumer of cotton goods, says the report. Commissioner Conant declares that im- mediate action should be taken to rem edy the evils and offers suggestions for temporary and ultimate permanent re- lief
