 RETALIAT0RY RATE
WORLDWIDE RATE WAR AGAINST PANAMA CANAL IS HUNDRED
 BY EUROPEANS.

Washington, Aug 22--A rate war, which might involve ;asiill asiill the maritime nations of the world and which would revolye about the Suez and Panama canals, was predicted today in Wash ington by officials who have watched the development of world interest in the Panama canal bill now awaiting approval of President Taft.
 According to the report that readh- ed the state department today. the di- rectorate of the Suez canal has decid- ed to reduce the rates through the canal.
 In official circles this notice was regarded as the first retaliatory step against the free tolls provision for American ships through the Panama canal.
 The announcement of the proposed reductions through Suez appeared in inconspieuous notices in American newspapers. The notice which arous- ed so much interest was to the effect that after the first of next year the transit dues. in the Suez canal will be reduced 50 centimes, bringing the toll for loaded ships down to CPS francs.
 HIS IS bne preCise equlNdlent 10 the $l.25 maximum tolls which the Panama canal act prescribes for vessels pass ing through that waterway
 Professor Emery R. Johnson, whose exhaustive investigation of the finan- cial aspect of the Panama canal, as a special commissioner for the war de partment, formed the basis for the ac- tion of the congressional committee in fixing the toll rates on the canal, he testified if the Panama project was to be success financially and com mereially, it's tolls should be lower than those of the Suez canal This was on the basis that the Panama route would secure a minor share of the shipping moving between Europe and the Pacific coast ports of Asia.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY ON WATER POWER SITES
HOUSE PASSES UNDERWoop'S BILL GRANTING RIGHT TO DAM
 coOSA RIVER.

Washington, Aug. 22-What was regarded by many members as dec laration of democratic policy with reference to water power site legisla- ton was made today, when Majority Leader Underwood championed a bill granting privilege 10 dam the Coosa river in Alabama, and the measure was passed, 94 to S7. Sixteen mem bers voted present" While Mir. Un- |derwood's influence won the victory for the bill, many democratic mem bers openly rebelled against the leg islation.
 MT. Underwood contended that the federal government had no rights to the rivers of the country. save as to navigation He held that the state alone was in control of the water ly- ing latent in the streams and that the national government had no jurisdic- ton over running water Question ing that "a water power trust" exist. ed. he advocated the imposition of an excise tax on corporations that might compose such a trust.
 The argument of MT. Underwood was combatted sharply by Represen tatiyes Sherley of Kentucky, Foster and Rainey oi Illinois, and other dem oerats. MT Sherley insisted tha there could be no question that th, control of the rivers rested in thu federal government. He declared tha
 he always had been an ardent defend

WICKERSHAM MAKES
 REPLY TO ROOSEVELT
SAYS COLONEL HAS SHIFTED GROUND REPEATEDLY IN
 HIS CHARGES.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The contro- versy between Colonel Roosevelt and Attorney General Wiclersham over the question of the efficacy of Presi- dent Taft's administration of the sherman antitrust law was continued tonight with statement by the attor- ney general, replying to the former presidents declaration at Wilkesbarre last night
 general, has shifted his ground very materially since he began his attempts to belittle the work of this admins ttration in enforcing the Sherman law. MT. Wickersham again commended to the perusal of the colonel a maga- zine article by Frank B. Kellogg, who prosecuted tEhe Standard Oil, saying the trust had been actually dissolved, and added:
 T also commend to him the follow ing passage from one of his own speeches:
 There is always tendency to feel that somehow, by legislation, by the enactment of some law. by the trying of some patent scheme, things can be made permanently better. Now something can be done by law. A good deal can be done by law. Even more can be done by the honest ad- ministration of the law; an admins tration that knows neither fear nor fayor-w which treats each man exactly as that mans record entities him to be treated
 And | would add that President Taft's administration has accomplish ed just that"

RramwelI Rooth,s Addrea,.

London, Aug. 22.-In a message to the Salyationists throughout the world. published in the Daily Chroni- cle today, Gen. Bramwell Booth. the new commander in chief of the Sal yation army, indicates the direction of the army's coming activities. He speaks confidently of it's future. After tender and beautiful tribute to his father, the new general says:
 The army's reorganization ana achievements are the outcome of Gods spirit That spirit cannot die It still yivifies us Yet, though the spirit does not change the forms and methods iii which it is clothed must change. New methods must be em- ployed and new channels of activity opened to keep pace with human ad- yancement
 Ut was the late generals great joy that he had created a body into which he had breathed living soul The outward body might alter, but the spirit is enshrined in the spirit of charity, com passion and self sacrifice and cannot be extinguished.
 Tt is my ambition to preserve and ioster lndt splflt. DeSplte the mate rialism of the age, there is a new and growing yearning for a more ideal and spiritual life, which is acting as a recruiting agency for the Salvation Army"
 Asked whether the army still would be governed on military lines the gen eral replied that no doubt 1t would, because military discipline gives a tremendous coehesian of simplicity and power to the organization of similar kind to that displayed by the Roman Catholic church Referring to the world wide influence of the army. the general believes that on the whole a large part of the work still is among the lowest strata of society and he has great hopes of winning a way among the working classes.
 The general also sees immense fields for activity in the service of foreign and colonial governments, es- pecially in India.
 Among his own pet schemes Is one to help all the poor widows with small children of the country to colonial homes instead of in the work house.
