Traffic viii Not Respond as
Expected, Asserts Director of
Pan-American Union.
SOUNDS A WARNING TO
OVER OPTIMISTIC u. S.
Disappointment Is Widespread
Because of SIownesS of Big
DitCh'S Benefits Predicted.

John Barrett, of Washington, director
general of the Pan-American union and
considered the countrys leading au-
thority on Central American affairs,
sounds a note of warning in Atlanta
today to optimists who believe the Pan
anna canal will open the foodgates of
milk and honey and make millionaires
of everybody.
Mr. Barrett, here for the conference
on the canal. declares that there is go
ing to be widespread disappointment at
the slowness of benefits from the big
ditch; that the canal tolls are 50 high
that traffic will not respond as expect
ed; that there has been small prepara-
ton for building American coasting
vessels, and that the country is selfish
in thinking too much about what it Will
sell through the canal and TOO little
about what it will buy.
Mr.. Barrett's comment was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion among visitors
to the Panama Canal conference sched-
uled TO meet today in the Piedmont ho-
tel. Representatives of eight South
American and Central American coun-
tries, a dozen high officials Of railroad
and steamship companies. officers of
army and navy and many of the most
prominent manufacturers and mer-
chants of the South arrived today for
the conference, which will continue two
days. under the direction of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Mr.. Barrett's views on the great ca
nails effect on business are, briefly, as
follows.

Judge Archibald. of the com

in the senate.
Senate Hears That Courts
Influence Was Used to Gain
Him Wealth.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-That the
Erie railroad agreed to give an option
to a business partner of Judge Arch
bald on the Katydid culm dump at
Scranton, Pa. the price to be $4,000,
when they could have sold it elsewhere
for $35, 900, was testified to at the Arch
bald impeachment trial in the United
States senate by James Fl. Rittenhouse,
of Scranton, a mining engineer. The
testimony was brought out by Wrisley
Brown, Of the department of justice.
Leaving out the question of freight,
it would have been worth $4,000 to
the Erie railroad"
The testimony of the mining engineer
was introduced by the house managers
in the effort to show that through Judge
Archbald's influence e. j. Williams, the
partner had obtained the option for the
Erie's share Of the dump for much less
than its value.
Evidence designed to refute that pre-
viously given by E. j. Williams as to
his knowledge Of the cases pending be-
fore the commerce court involving the
Erie railroad, was presented through
the medium of George F. Snyder. clerk
had testified that Judge Archibald did
not tell him the so-called "lighterage"
cases." involving the Erie. were pend
ing; but that he had seen papers on
Judge Archbald's desk, with the word
"lighterage" on them and had asked
about the cases.
Mr.. Snyder produced all of the briefs,
complaints and dockets that might have
been involved, to show that the word
"lighterage" did not appear on any Of
them.
The positive statement that he had
been offered an option to purchase an
interest in the Katydid culm dump by
Williams in the office of Judge Arch
bald several days after Judge Arch
bald had informed him that Williams
had no authority to SELL was made by
Thomas j. Jones. Of Scranton. The
statement was brought out during the
cross examination by Representative
Webb. Of North Carolina. on the part
of the house managers.
The witness declared that Williams
had offered to sell his interest in the
dump for $4,000, and accompanied him
to the office of Judge Archibald. There,
said Mr. Jones, Judge Archibald told
him that Williams had no right To sell
any part of the dump.
Several days later said MI Jones,

Urges Nation to
Realize Plain Facts.
Mr.. Barrett said:


ut is necessary that the South and.
in fact, the entire country should real
ize. without delay, certain plain facts
about the Panama canal.
There is real danger that in our re-
ioincing over It's early completion and
in our pride over the great engineer
ing achievement we shall overlook do
ing the practical things upon which
the successful use of the canal de-
ponds.
There is equal danger that we are
doing impractical things which will Sc
riousIy handicap its value to us.
Il am not an alarmist, but telling
the truth when l say that there is going
to be widespread disappointment
throughout the country at our slowness
in realizing large, appreciate and i'm
mediate benefits from the canal
"A wall of protest surely will go up
from the country within a year or two
after the canal is opened to trade that
the harbors of the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts are not filled with the shipping
and that the manufacturing plants of
the country are not overwhelmed with
the orders which are expected as a re-
suit of its construction.
There is no use denying these posi-
Bile canal conditions which the country
may meet It may not be a popular
thing for me to say this but ] am
forced to tell the truth as I see it in
order to awaken that attitude OF the
people and that action of our govern
ment which can change absolutely this
prospective but unfortunate situation.

Fight Extends
Over Many Years,

The fight for the custody of the Till
man children has been in the courts for
years. Young Tilman first decided the
children to his parents, Senator and
Mrs. Tillman. Later Mrs. Dugas Sc
cured a divorce in the Ohio courts at
Cincinnati, following which she brough.
suit for the custody of the children, and
won.
The loss of his grandchildren was a
serious blow 10 the aged senator II
was largely on his account that their
father, few weeks ago, instituted pro-
.ceedings to recover the custody Of the
little girls, claiming that he had com
pletely reformed and was qualified TO
properly care for them and charging
that Mrs. Dugas was on the eve of tax
ing the children from Edgefeld. where
she now resides. to Ohio, where she in
tended to make her future home, thus
removing them from the jurisdiction OF
the South Carolina courts
Mrs. Dugas two weeks ago presented
atiidavits TO show young Tillman had
not completely reformed. A week later
these aftidavits were answered by Till
man. Yesterdays decision was a yul-
ing on the questions brought up at
these hearings. The court directs that
both Tillman and Mrs. Dugas furnish
$4,000 bond 10 carry out the provisions
of the decree.

Declares Tolls
Are Too High.

In the first place, the canal tolls at
$125 net ton are undoubtedly too
high. They should be placed at the
lowest figure permitted by congress
70 cents q ton. Only by the use of the
latter figure can we get the greatest use
of the canal in the shortest possible
time after it is opened. one dollar and
twenty cents ton means specula-
ton as to possibilities and hesitation as
to large shipping preparations for the
use of the canal Seventy cents a
ton would mean that every possible
utilization would be made Of it without
delay
While it is perfectly just to charge a
rea sonable toll to pay operating eX-
penses. it is Inconsistent with our ma
tional policy as shown in the operation
of our postofiices and public buildings,
