F FINANCIAL BASIS TO
CANAL NEGOTIATIONS
Sir Edward Grey's Claim Re-
garding the Panama Tolls
Will Be Refuted.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-The letter Of
Sir Edward Grey. the British foreign sec
rotary. to the Gates Head Chamber of
Commerce yesterday regarding the Brit
ish attitude toward the Panama canal act
is regarded here as an indication that
the negotiations between the two coun-
tries are TO have a financial basis, the
foreign sccretarys argument being that
British shipping is TO be burdened with
an undue proportion OF the charges for
the maintenance OF the canal through the
complete exemption from tolls of Amerl
can coastwise shipping.
In view Of this. importance attaches
70 an inquiry now being conducted on the
isthmus by Professor Emery r. Johnson,
special commissioner on Panama traffic
and tolls.
Professor Johnson already has com
piled q vast amount OF statistics bearing
upon the character and probable amount
of the traffic that Will pass through the
Panama canal. He Is now engaged in
study OF the financial aspect of the result,
so that the tolls may be adjusted as the
needs Of the canal on strictly scientific
basis demand, and he is expected In
Washington soon with this data.

Johnson S Data.

In view of Sir Edward Grey's state
ment that British ships will have to pay
for the American exemption. II Is said
that In the data already prepared by Pro-
fessor Johnson it appears that. accord
Ing to the best estimate. the whole OF the
American coastwise traffic that is likely
10 pass through the Panama canal inn
medjately after it ls opened will be about
100000 tons, or a little more than 10
per cent OF the total tonnage that will
pass through the canal in the years 1915
and 1916. In the course OF FIVE years. 1t
Is estimated that this American coastwise
tonnage will rise to l.ili.0o0 tons, but
as the foreign commerce VIII increase in
Ike proportions. the samo relation be-
tween the two Will exist
On the face of the fgures. this would
indicate that the British and oteer for
eign commerce would have to bear an
additional burden OF 10 per cent above
and over what II would have to pay II
American coastwise shipping was not
exempt, 1t Is pointed out. however, that
q. proportionate share OF this burden. if II
did exist. would have To be borne by
American ships in the foreign trade, which
consequently would be on a precise equal
ity with British ships

WAS CHECKING UP
ARCHIBALD, He SAYS
W. P. BoIand Suggested Steps
in Katydid Deal.

Washington. Dec. f1.-William p.
slsseland land, ,-sf- scranton Pa a., charged by
Judge Robert r. Archibald, Of the
commerce court, with having organtz-
ed conspiracy that resulted in Judge
Archbald's Impeachment and his pres
ent trial before the senate, admitted
on the witness stand that he had sug-
gested the various steps by which
Judge Archibald was connected with
the deal for the Katydid refuse coal
dump, in order to CHECK up Judge
Archibald"
81 wanted to button up Judge Arch
bald" he said, shaking his finger at
the accused jurist, who sat in front
of him. 81 wanted to show he was the
kind of a man he is"
These admissions. made under
searching questions by Judge Arch
bald's attorney, A. S. Worthington,
were interspersed with the vigorous
denunciation of Judge Archibald by
Mr.. Boland as corrupt judge" and
charges that Judge Archibald had been
working for the railroads.
Repeated demands were made by
Judge Archbald's attorney that Mr..
Boland be required to answer ques-
tions directly, but Notwithstanding
cautions from President Bacon, he en-
bodied in his replies sweeping charges
against Judge Archibald and frank ad-
missions that he had set out to get
hold of everything he could that would
help in showing up" Judge Archibald
and that would sustain the belief Bo-
land held that Judge Archibald was be-
ing used" by the railroads.
The testimony of William P. Boland,
who followed his brother, C. G. Bo-
land, on the stand, centered chiefly
about the case of the Marion Coal
company, of which they were chief
owners, embraced in the second article
of Impeachment charges against Judge
Archibald. Mr.. Boland declared he be-
1ieved Judge Archibald had used his
influence to attempt to bring about a
settlement of a case between the Mar.
ion Coal company and the Lackawan-
1a railroad

In response J. H. Gibson, of sCa1d]'
well, Idaho, brought further cheering
when he said:
THE supreme court of Idaho, In
stead of being in position to cite edi-
tors for contempt should be wearing
stripes"
William Allen White, of Kansas, the
next speaker, adhered to the theme OF
court criticism with respect to the de-
feat for governor of Kansas of Arthur
Capper, who lost by twenty-nine votes.
He declared there we're 5000 votes
cast which never were counted, but
that despite this "the Kansas court de-
clined to permit recount"
"You will be cited for contempt"
cried some one in the audience.
That's all right" answered the
speaker; "I always said that the fur
of a jack rabbit should be substituted
for the ermine."
Roosevelt's attack on the court
came in the course of a long address
with which he opened the national
conference. In it he declared the new
contemplate making terms with the
Republican party.
The colonel early digressed from his
set address to thank those who had
contributed to the campaign fund. To
give emphasis to this, Roosevelt walk
ed to the front Of the platform and
pointed to William Finn, George w.
Perkins, Frank A. Munsey and c. 8.
Bird. Calling each by name, he con-
tinued:
81 not only want to thank you, but
to say that l have been happy to be
associated with you. I want to say
that there have been no more disin-
terested Progressives than yourselves.
Nobody will ever have to investigate
me to learn that l knew of these con-
tributions and was very much obliged
for them"

SICKLES ASKED
FOR $4,000
New York Monument CommIs-
sion Asks Accounting

New York, Dec. 11.-General Dani.
E. Sickles must return to the stat
treasury between $4,000 and $4,000
OF moneys appropriated to the New
York monument commission, of which
he is chairman, or each 0lember. OF
the commission will be he'd responsi
ble
This is the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Carmody. Members of the com
mission do not agree with the attorney
general. They put the entire matter uB
to General Sickles.
Governor Dix in Albany made public
the particulars of the endeavor on ths
part of the state to straighten out the
financial tangle of the affairs of the
monument COM Mmission, which sue
ceeded the Gettysburg and Chattanoo
ga battlefield monuments commission
established in 1883.
The correspondence between the
state comptroller, General Sickles and
members of the commission, shows
that while General Sickles had prom.
ised to return the money it has not
reached the state treasury and he has
asked for an extension of time.
General Sickles \declined to make
any statement concerning the new
financial tangle in which he is in
volved. At his home the attendant
said that the general would not talk
to the newspapers. Mrs. Sickles and
her son, Stanton, left word at the Ho
tel Albert, where they have been stop
ping, that they would be out of towr
for couple of days.
Friends of the Sickles family said
that Mrs. Sickles is willing to come
to the aid of her husband again. She
was at the meeting of the monument
commission on Monday and saw her
husband.

WEBER NOW DENIES
R0SENTKAL PLOT
Says Gunmen Were Hired Only
to Scare Gambler.

New York, Dec. 11.-"Bridgey" Web
ber, one of the four informers In the
Becker murder trial, returned with his
wife from trip to Havana with the
amazing statement that there was no
plot to kill Herman Rosenthal. so far
as he knows.
Webber persisted in this statement
in the face of reminders that he had
testified differently as witness in the
Becker trial and the trial of the four
gunner.
Webber is bitter against his fellow
informers-Rose. Vallon and Schepps
particularly Schepps. He says he
never would have confessed and had
just paid Max G. Steuer, a lawyer,
Jack Rose had confessed. Then he
"got in line
No mention of killing Herman Ro-
senthal was ever made to him, Web
Der declared. but he had talked with
Rose about buying Rosenthal off or OF
soaring him out of town. The gunner,
according to Webber, were employed
to throw a scare into Rosenthal," and
two of them got drunk and killed him
instead.
Webber's sensational statement that
he knew of no plot to kill Rosenthal
was outlined to Assistant District At
torney Moss, who conducted the prose
cution in the Becker and the gunner
cases. Moss was surprised and said:
"This is the first time l ever heard
such a story. During the preparation
of the trials Webber never said there
was no murder plot. On the contrary,
he repeated to me the story he subse-
quently told on the stand. I under
stand Webber wants to live in New
York. Perhaps he is trying to make
his stay here more peaceful by placat-
ing the friends Of the men convicted
of the murder of Rosenthal"
