j. s. CANAL RIGHT
CITED IN SENATE
Jones Replies to Great Britain'S
Protest Against Free Pas
sage of American Ships.

WASHINGTON. Aug 6.-Senator
Wesley L. Jones. of Washington, a Re
publican. made d striking speech in the
senate Yesterday on the responsible
ties and duties Of the United States in
connection with the Panama canal. The
speech was called forth by Great Brit
aims protest against the bill allowing
American ships free passage through
the canal
Senator Jones upheld the right of
the United States to govern and con
troll the Panama canal chided other
members Of the senate for expressing a
contrary view. and said if he felt as
some of his colleagues do he would
never admit it on the floor of the SEN
ate or in public. but only would give
utterance to such beliefs during execu-
tive session within the secret walls of
the chamber
Senator Jones Interpretation of the
early British American treaty is that
the United States and Great Britain,
neither knowing who was to construct
the canal simply bound themselves to
protect the builders of the canal from
unjust confis2ation.
He referred to the Clayton BulWer
pact and the Hay Pauncefote treaty
and said:
Refers to Other Nations.
1T is plain to me. referring TO pro-
hibition against blockadcs and the pro-
hibition Of war rights, that this rule
refers to nations other than the United
States.
When the United States says the
canal shall be free and open to all
vessels of commerce and war observ-
ing the rules. it is the same as a ferry
man saying all persons paying 70 cents
would be transported across his stream.
There is nothing that makes it a dis
elimination against any of these ma
lions to allow American ships to go
through the canal on different terms
any more than~it would be il the ferry
man took himself across his own ferry
free of charge.
no one disputes our title and no one
can dispute it. over it flies the flag
of the republic representing the SOW
ereignty and proprietorship of the ma
ton just as it represents that sover-
eighty and proprietorship over any
other territory belonging to the United
States.

money and will soon have compiled
a great canal through which win pass
much of the worlds commerce. This
canal will be built by us and by our
money. 1t will be opera ted by US. We
will protect il. 1t is ours. our nation
owns it. 1t will be built through our
territory. Can we say how We snail
use it?
This is the question which meets US
at the threshold in this bill. l have no
doubt as to what the American people
think about it. There is no doubt as to
their answer TO the question; in fact.
they are very likely to be surprised that
such question should arise. 1t has
never entered their minds that this
government could not use its own prop
erty and deal with its own people as it
saw fit without asking the consent Of
any other government or people

DIVORCES REUN7E
Mr.. AND MRS. JACK CUDAHY. d..
vORCED, ARE LIVING TO-
GETHER.
CHURCH GREATER THAN STATE
Couple That Figured in Sensational
Stories In Connection with Jere
LlIlis and Subsequent Separation
Reunited Through Children.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 2O.-Al-
though they were divorced two years
ago Mr.. and Mrs. John P. C'Jack')
Cudahy have become reconciled and
are living together again. Jack" has
gone to the home Of his former wife.
The reconciliation involves the
church and follows the old question of
the supremacy of the church or the
state, and whether canonical law Is
greater than the law of the govern
ment. In the Cudahy case it has set
tied itself, that what the church has
bound together no law can break asun-
der. For the Cudahys have reunited
on that idea.
they came to the belief that their mar
riage in the Catholic faith was not
broken by the divorce two years ago,
and thus they began their married
life anew.
Since the divorce obtained by Mrs.
Cudahy from her husband two years
ago Mr.. Cudahy has been living at
the Hotel Baltimore and on his farm
near Bolton.
Mrs. Cudahy has been living in an
apartment at 1927 Main street. The
children, who were taken from the
mother under the divorce agreement,
we're given to the parents Of Mr..
Cudahy, with whom they have been
since hat time.
The formal decree of divorce was
issued to the Cudahys following a sem
%sational attack of the husband upon
Jere Lillis, a banker, two years ago.

armed vessels to maintain an effec-
tive blockade OF the long-stretching
Atlantic seaboard, and it was decided
to obstruct the channels leading to
certain ports, OF which Charleston was
one, with sunken vessels. The govern

been formerly employed in the whal-

London. Sag Harbor. Nantucket and
New Bedford.
In the capacious holds of each Of
these old whalers. that had braved the
rigors of the Arctic and had earned an
honorable discharge. were stored 300
tons of stone. The ship to which I
was assigned was the Kensington. The
fleet proceeded south under canvas
and in due time anchored off Tybee
Island near the channel to Savannah
Harbor. Later we sailed from the
rendezvous at Tybee to Charleston.
A government tug was already there
to meet the fleet and tow us to our re-
spective positions. One by one the old
ships were towed into place on the
bar, and at a signal the crew pulled
the plugs and down would go the mas
sive wooden hulk laden With rock to
the bed of the channel.
This was continued until the sixteen
hips fcrued a barrier across the
