PANAMA. CANAL BILL
IS SIGNED BY TAFT
President still Questions Pos
sibility That Treaty Has
Been Violated.

Warrington, D. c.. Aug. 27.-Presi-
dent taft signed the Panama canal bill
at z y. m. Saturday night. Following
this he sent to congress a memoran-
dunn suggesting the ACCESSIBILITY of the
passage of a resolution which would
declare that this was moi
considered by this government a viola
ton of the treaty provisions regarding
the canal. ~
In discussing the British protest
against the exemption of American
shipping from the payment OF tolls fol
the use Of the canal, Mr.. Taft says
the Irresistible conclusion to be drawn
from 1t is that although the United
States owns, controls and has paid fol-
the canal, 1t Is restricted by thestreaty
from aiding it's own commerce In the
way h a all the other nations OF the
world may freely do"
I'm view Of the fact" Mr.. Taft con
tinues, that the Panama canal is be-
ing constructed by the United States
wholly at its own cost. upon territory
coded to 1t by the republic Of Panama
for that purpose, and that unless II
has restricted itself. the United States
enjoys absolute rights Of ownership
and control. including the right to al
low It's own miner the use Of the
canal on the terms 1t sees fit. The
whole question is: Has the United
States (by terms of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. deprived itself Of the ex
ercise of the right to pass it's own com.
merce free or to remit tolls collected
for the use of the canal?"

EXPRESS CONCERNS
MUST STAND TRIAL
Court Rules Against Adams
and American Companies In
Government Suit.

Washington, D.. c., Aug. 26.-The
Adams and American Express compan-
ies, indicted for violations of the inter
state commerce act, must face trial.
Thore, is no escape through pleading
that they are not corporations OF conn
panies within theSmeaning Of the law.
That, In effect was the decision of Fed
eral Judge Hazel al Buffalo in an
opinion today in the case begun by the
Interstate Commerce commission
against the two companies alleging
overcharge and granting unlawful con-
cesslon.
Very recently Judge HOLSTER, in the
United States district court at Cincin-
natl ordered a similar indictment
against the Adams company quashed,
because, he held, the company, being
merely a stock company and not q cor
poration could not be indicted. He
held that 1t would be necessary for the
Interstate Commerce commission to Sc
cure the Indictment of individual stock
holders In order to maintain a case in
court. The commission realized that
such a proceeding would be impractic-
able.
Judge Hazel held hat the indict-
ments brought at Buffalo were sound,
because, in law, the express companies

suc under the interstate commerce
act. The commission will press the
case,

SEEKS
AN INVESTIGATION
West virginia's Governor De-
mands Probe Of Election Of
Two Senators. # y.

Washington. Aug. 27.-A demand for
an investigation Of the election or Sem
ators William e. Chiffon and Clarence
w. Watson, OF West Virginia. was
made in a petition signed by Governor
G~lasscock, and others. presented to the
Senate through Senator Gallinger, the
presiding officer. The petition called
attention to charges of bribery pub
licly made in reference, to the election
of the two West Virginia senator's.
Petition 10 Read.
A request for the reading Of the Pc
tition was made by Senator Penrose
before it's contents wer6 known. When
the document had been partly read,
Senators Bailey and Bacon objected to
the printing OF its allegations in the
public records of the Senate before
they had been investigated by the COM
mittee on privileges and elections.
The petition contained records OF
newspaper charges, and alleged con-
~versations intimating that charges Of
bribery had been made, but never had
been investigated.
Senators Bacon and Bailey charged
that while the election took place near
ly two years years ago, and the charges
had been made about that time, Gov
Giasscock and his associates had
refrained from sending the petition to
the United Staten Senate until almost
the last day OF its session.
