Jerry Taylor, a negro who claims
Keokuk as his home, was adjudged
insane at hearing held in

mitted to Jacksonville where he was

but it seems as though he could not
keep out of trouble and a few days
ago he was taken into police court
for the second time. He was asked to
leave the city and did so, but soon re-
turned and Immediately proceeded to
get in bad again. He was confined at
the police station for the past few
days until 1t could be arranged to
have hearing held to determine his
sanity

ment of congress by August IL was

sides, following the action of the SEN
ate in approving free passage

the senate refused to strike out OF the
Panama bill the provision exempting
American vessels from the canal
charges.
1t was the belief of leaders that
consideration of the bill might be
completed today. The only stumbling
block now is the senate amendment to
the house bill permitting railroad
owned vessels to use the waterway.
The house prohibited passage of such
vessels. Pacific coast senator's, fight
ing against the trans-continental rail-
roads and their vessels, claimed that
the house provision would prevail
The vote last night ignored Great
Britain's protest to the plan of main
tenance of the canal and if the pro-
hibition against railrcad-owned ships
is inserted, the senate will be in the
position of deliberately disregarding
all of England's protest. That the
whole question will be taken to the
Hague tribunal was the general belief
today.
When debate was resumed in the
the senate, Johnson of Alabama, sug-
gested that in order to facilitate pro-
gress on the measure all speeches be
limited to five minutes and that
