Mr.. Lodge on U. S. Rights.

Senator Lodge raised the question
whether the United States would have
right to interfere II another country
should undertake TO pay the tolls of It's
ships when passing through the canal.
No foreign country. he said. could inter
fere with any arrangement the United
States might make for the payment OF
tolls
''If any government should undertake
10 do so. for one would protest" said
Mr. Lodge.
Mr.. Lodge said he had been the member
of the Foreign Relations Committee
which reported to the Senate the draft OF
the Hay-Paunccfote treaty With Great
Britain in 1909.
81 was OF the opinion at the time
brought the report that IT left us in com
plete control In determining the position
OF our own vessels Mr. Lodge contin-
ued. II die not suppose that any limita-
ton was imposed. and did not believe
that the United States was included
among the nations to be treated with
equality under the treaty termI"
1Sen1tor Lodge admitted that thc ques-
ton Of the free passage of American
ships probably would be sent finally to
The Hague. lie suggested that such a
course could be avoided by the United
states government paying the tolls on
american owned ships. He contended
tnat no foreign gpvei nment could object
to that.
I'VE never would permit any foreign
mower to interfere with our disposition
In

doubt what the result would be OF the
matter should the question be submitted

Pteases His Party Colleagues.

Senator O'Gorman's declarations OF de-
fance were received by many of his party
colleagues with apparent satisfaction.
Senators Williams and Bacon alone APP
peared to have some misgivings about
the course he suggested. Senators Mar
tine. Chamberlain. Reed and others
seemed TO respond readily 20 the sugses-
ton that the United States should go
ahead and do what II pleased. and. II The
Hague tribunal did not approve. the Hay
Pauncefote treaty should be discarded.
Mr.. O'Gorman. Mr.. Cummins and others
declared that II the United states had 20
construe the treaty literally In giving the
ships Of all nations equal treatment II
would by other terms of the treaty be pre-
vented from defending the canal in case
of war
III a Japanese feet appeared at the
western end OF the canal" said Senator
Reed, bent upon passing through to at
tack New York city, the United states
would have no right. under such con-
struction OF the treaty. TO take any steps
against IT."
Senator Burton. of Ohio, declared war
would suspend the operation Of the treaty.
Senator McCumher conceded that u was
his belief the canal would have To remain
neutral even In time Of war, and that the
United States would be forbidden by the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty from taking any
measures to blockade or use the canal for
its own protection.
Senator O'Gorman declared that iaiI-
road influence was behind the British pro-
test

greatly Interested" he said Il believe

OF the United States have been enabled

"The only government that has as
sumed any especial. burden under that
treaty Is the United States. England
and other countries have assumed no
burdens beyond the payment or the tolls
and the agreement az to the terms OF It's
neutrality.
There IL nothing to prevent England
from RENTING to It's merchant ships
every dollar of tolls paid the Panama
Canal. There is nothing to prevent SIM

power that is trammelled, restricted and
curtailed in the performance or us

struction Of this great enterprise
The Senator added that Spain already
had Iegislated Ito reimburse Spanish
ships for the tolls spent in going through
our canal"

Ascribed to Railroad Influ-
ence, Canadian and Amer
lean, Fearing Free Tolls.

Washington. July iI-Advocates OF the
remission OF Panama Canal tolls to Amer
lean vessels had their day in the Senate
this afternoon. The Democrats rallied
around Senator OGorman, who insisted
that there was nothing in the Hay
Pauncefote treaty TO prevent the United
States from treating its ships as II
pleased and declared that, II The Hague
court decided this country could not con-
troll the canal built by It. own money and
absolutely under It's own dominion, the
treaty should be abrogated
The Senator from New York went into
terms. ne said. the United States had
agreed to adopt certain rules which II
was to lay down and which other nations
were TO observe.
Mr.. O'Gorman contended that the Ian
guage could not be construed to include
the United States among the nations
which were to enjoy no preference in the
use OF the canal. II this were the case,
he added. Secretary Hay and those re-
sponsble for the agreement had neglect
ed the interests OF the people and the
"nOle ARRANGEMENT SnOulu De set ASIDE.
Up to a certain point the Senator was
supported on the Republican side by Sena-
tor Lodge. who protested against the idea
that the United States could not pay the
tolls of its own ships. This, he said, was
something with which tAe- government Of
Great Britain had nothing whatever to do.
Senator McCumber advocated strict ad-
hercnCe To the letter of the treaty. quoting
at length from diplomatic documents to
show that 1t had always been the purpose
OF this government that American ships
were TO enjoy no advantages over those OF
other countries

palm of his hand which he refused to
discuss with most OF the persons whom
he saw to-day.
There have been other Internal ma
chimes sent to the President. but little
about them has been permitted to
reach the public. II is the theory of
the Secret Service that in the majority
Of cases, at least. the senders of such
machines and the authors Of other at
tempts on the life OF the President are
persons OF diseased brains. and that It
is dangerous TO permit the details TO
become public, because they act as
suggestion to others with equally dis
ordered mentality. For that reason
every effort is made to suppress all de-
tails. and this was the case to-day. In
quently denied the facts, believing the
safety Of the President warranted that
course.
Little Chance Of Success.
At most, however, the only damage
such things could do would be the in
jury OF the secretaries, who occupy an
office separate from that of the Chief
Executive. There have been fewer at
tempts on the life of President Taft
than were made on the life OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt. although the appear
ance Of a lunatic armed with knife or
gun at the White House is not in
frequent. and in the government Hos
ptal for the Insane are many lunatics
who have come to Washington with
the avowed purpose Of seeing the Chief
Executive and have been found not
armed.
The most notable instance OF an In
sane person seeking to approach Pres
ident Roosevelt was that OF Mrs. Minor
Morris. whose husband had been re-
moved from an Office under the govern
ment. Mrs. Morris sought an interview
with Mr. Roosevelt to lay before him
her grievance. on the ill-considered
advice of the wife OF a government
official. who had no idea Of Mrs. Nor
ris's afilIctiOn. Mrs. Morris refused TO
leave the executive Offices without see
ing the President. and when officers
tried to escort her from the building
she dropped on her knees, screaming,
and compelled them 10 half drag and
half carry her from the scene.
AS a rule those who are mentally de-
ranged and who seek interviews with
the President present themselves at the
front door Of the white House proper.
where no one is admitted without
previous appointment. and their de-
mands TO see the Chief Executive
promptly reveal their condition and
lead Ia their arrest.
II IL some time since an attempt has
been made on the life OF the Chief Ex-
ecutive by means OF an Internal ma
chine. To-day's occurrence will put
the Secret Service men on their guard.
and II will be a long time before II will
be possible to get another package OF
such character into the Office building.

his company had made any representa-
